What makes Cherry Mobile Flare XL different?

Aside from the fact that it is the biggest Flare to date, it also packs a MediaTek MT6592M chipset which churns with 1.4GHz octa-core processor and Mali 450 MP4 GPU. The Cosmos-maker also deploys a One Glass Solution tech (OGS) in the 5.5-inch IPS HD display making the panel thinner than the usual LCD technology. And by the way, if you may ask, the device is powered by Android 4.4.4 KitKat so expect things to be smooth on the get-go.
