Display
The previous device that
came through Flare line was the Sony camera-powered Flare S2. The device came
in the mid-tier department with its 4.5-inch display. Now, the Flare 3 is, by
far, the Flare biggest device in terms of screen real estate. It boasts a
5-inch IPS OGS display with 220 ppi pixel density (that's slightly higher that
S2's 218 ppi).
Hardware
On the chipset side of
things, both devices have the MediaTek 6582M processor ticking on their guts.
This variant houses the 1.3-gigahertz quad-core CPU that is allied with the
Mali-400 MP2 GPU.
There's no overlooking the
thought that Cherry Mobile Flare also has 1GB of RAM to spice things up in the
multitasking level. However, Flare 3's internal memory is beefier with at 8GB
and what keeps this handheld apart from its peers is that it is expandable up
to 64-gigabyte through microSD slot.
Camera
For mobile photogs, your
main snapper, the 8-megapixel rear camera is charged with back-side
illumination and LED flash. Flipping the device, you'll have the 3-megapixel
selfie camera, fit for all your pointing-and-shooting experience.
Connectivity
and Software
In terms of connectivity,
you'll have the 3G HSPA+ version. The dual-SIM or dual-standy capability is
always a welcome feature for those jumping in between networks. Likewise, if
the previously laid specs won’t suffice, Cherry Mobile is powering the Flare 3
with Android 4.4 KitKat and 1980 mAh battery.
The
Wrap
Time, and again, Cherry
Mobile is always delivering its best when it comes to its Flare products. The
company has done great things with our Php 3,999 before. And now with the
advent of Flare 3, we have never expected that it could do a lot more - good
display, fast processor, latest Android version, etc. I think we could be
seeing Flare 3 everywhere in weeks to come.
