Just In: Cherry Mobile Flare 2.0, Flare 2X, Burst 2.0, and Apollo

Heads up guys! The best selling Cherry mobile Handset of all time is getting pumped up... in the form of Flare 2.0.

The FLARE 2.0 has been officially released! It's just a processor update powered by higher 1.2 Snapdragon 8225Q Quad-Core processor to the Original Flare. The device will be sporting 4" inch WVGA LCD Display which is supposedly improved in quality. Other than that it will have 512 of RAM and same camera features and to be sold at PHP 3,999.00. It is to say shift from Dual Core to Quad Core ng Bayan. So therefore it targets the same people. Then again they should have upgraded the battery at 1500 mAh with Quad-Core, doubt it will last a day without charging - for heavy users.

If the 2.0 did not gain your attention then you may want the Flare 2X. With just additional bucks, at PHP 4,499.00 you get 1GB of RAM and a Camera (rear) upgrade of 8MP which is great but wait a minute like the Flare 2.0 battery backup remain to be the flaw of the Flare line which sadly remains at 1500 mAh. Don't worry since it is most likely to live up to the hype it has created, people will get bright ideas or mod some battery out there and fix this so called weakness.


You might also take a gander at Burst 2.0 and the new Apollo.

The Burst 2.0 sports a bigger 4.5 FWVGA Display powered by Mediatek Quad Core Processor coupled with 512MB of RAM. It packs a 5MP Snapper and VGA Front Camera. Notably the device packs 2000 mAh battery. Well it seems like before this be an alternative to Flare 2.0 similar in specs but different. Sold for PHP 4699.00.


The Apollo, the new comer in the group will have a 4.5" inch HD Display and packs 12MP rear and 5MP front snapper Plus 1GB RAM for only 6,999.00! Well seems this will be targeted on selfies. Per box it shows 1800 mah battery but per opening of the handset 2000 mAh. Oh be warn look out for dead pixels and back light bleeding (BLB) when buying the handset. (use pure white and black background to detect such defect).

Cherry Mobile is really giving Quad-Core to the Masses and still delivers decent specs. Battery backup seems to have improved but with regards to quality it is a MUST to CHECK what you BUY! Look for dead pixels, BLB, hardware defects and not so regular software bugs.

So far been seeing the Flare 2.0 and Flare 2X so it just means that both devices live up to the popularity of the Flare line but still people do complain about battery life. Surprisingly, Cherry Mobile Burst 2.0 is getting a bit attention with regards to its performance in gaming especially with 5 Multi-touch points and because of battery life. On one hand, Apollo also shines for having better display, camera and performance.

Per Social Media, Cherry Mobile Kiosk (especially Berlein Mobile) offers Flare 2.0, Flare2X Apollo and Burst.
