Cherry Mobile Flare 2X now available

Cherry Mobile's latest offerings have been launched in a rather odd way, with phones appearing for sale before they are officially launched. Yesterday, Cherry Mobile posted a teaser for another phone.

This phone is the Cherry Mobile Flare 2X. But there is no need to wait for the official launch. Meet the Flare 2X.

Many buyers were hoping that when the Cherry Mobile Flare 2.0 would be launched, it would come with 1GB of RAM. The Flare 2.0 came with an upgraded processor, but still was equipped with 512 MB of RAM. The Flare 2X addresses that shortcoming.

Quick specifications:

• Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean)
• 4-inch WVGA (480 x 800) display
• Dual sim support
• 4 GB internal storage expandable via a MicroSD card slot
• 1 GB RAM
• 1.2 GHz Qualcomm S4 Play processor
• Adreno 203 graphics processor
• 8 MP autofocus primary camera with LED flash
• VGA front camera
• HSPA+
• WiFi
• Bluetooth
• A-GPS
• 1500 mAh battery

Priced at Php4,499, it is Php500 more than the Flare 2.0. The additional Php500 is well worth the additional money. Android 4.2 Jelly Bean really runs much better with 1 GB of RAM. I would recommend that buyers select the Flare 2X over the Flare 2.0.
