It looks like Cherry Mobile plans to rain on the
MyPhone Rain parade. A few days ago, MyPhone launched a low cost, Php2,988, Android Jelly Bean, smartphone. Yesterday, Cherry Mobile unveiled a direct competitor to the Rain, the Cherry Mobile Life, priced at Php2,999.
Quick specifications:
- Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean)
- 4-inch WVGA (480 x 800) display
- Dual sim support
- 4 GB internal storage expandable via a MicroSD card slot
- 512 MB RAM
- 1 GHz dual core MediaTek MT6572M processor
- Mali-400 graphics processor
- 5 MP autofocus primary camera with LED flash
- 0.3 MP front camera
- HSPA+
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- A-GPS
- 1500 mAh battery
The specifications of the two phones are almost identical. The Cherry Mobile Life has a larger, sharper display. It also offers a battery which is rated 200 mAh higher. In terms of cameras, the Cherry Mobile Life has a 5 MP primary camera against the 3.2 MP unit on the MyPhone Rain. The camera on the Cherry Mobile Life is also an autofocus unit and has a LED flash. The MyPhone Rain has a fixed focus camera and has no flash. The My Phone Rain does have a 1.3 MP front camera, which has a higher resolution than the Cherry Mobile Life's VGA unit, but all in all, the Cherry Mobile Life looks like the much better choice among the two. That is being polite. Really, there is no contest.
It looks like the name Rain, was prophetic, in a bad way.
