Cherry
Mobile has an exciting treat that will delight mobile photographers as it took
the wraps off of the new Cherry Mobile Selfie. Clearly, the local company is
banking on the selfie trend and follows the
move of the Taiwanese giant, HTC, with its popular HTC Desire Eye which has two
13MP shooters.
Unique
Design
The
Selfie phone is something like a distant cousin of the old Xperia line from the
defunct Sony-Ericsson partnership. And just like the Desire Eye, the Cherry Mobile Selfie also sports two
13-megapixel sensors for both front and back snappers. This device is unlike
any other local phones in the market, it literally streamlines the
selfie-taking experience in your mobile photography. Looking into Cherry Mobile’s
press materials, the CM Selfie looks like the Meitu MK260.

What
makes it different? The Camera.
The
rear panel house the 13-megapixel Autofocus Sony sensor accompanied by a dual
LED flash. Flipping the phone over, there’s the 13-megapixel snapper with
autofocus and single LED flash. These selfie shots will be processed by Fujitsu
Milbeaut Image Processor. It will also be reinforced with the built-in
beautification+ feature that will give your photos a notable enhancement.
Internals
and Display
The
Selfie smartphone packs a 1.7 GHz octa-core CPU with Mali-450 GPU and a beefy 2GB
of RAM. Across the board, you’ll have the 16GB internal memory with up to 32GB
of expandable storage.
Other
specs include a 4.7-inch HD display that is treated by Gorilla Glass 3 protection
making it scratch-resistant. There’s the complete set of standard connectivity
like 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and USB-OTG. The device will run on Android KitKat OS
and will be fueled by a 2300mAh battery. You will get all of these for a price
of Php 9,999.
