The
Cherry Mobile Infinix Pure is the scaled down version of the Pure XL handset
that Cherry has released in last December. By nature, it is also an octa-core
handset in its own right. On the specs-sheet, the handset frames a 5-inch panel
that is half an inch smaller from its bigger countepart. Today we have placed
this handset beside CM’s budget eight-cored offering, the Cherry Mobile flag Me
Vibe. Join us as we dish out any specification mismatch over their price
difference right after the fold.

Display
If
we talk about budget octa-core, of course the Cherry Mobile Me Vibe will always
be a front-runner considering that it packs the MediaTek chipset along with some
other capable features in a Php 3,999 pricetag. On the other hand, the Infinix
Pure is slightly priced higher with Php 4,999. However, the Infinix Pure registers
a kick with its 720p HD display with the Vibe only packing a qHD 540 x 960p
screen. Knowing that both of them have the same 5-inch panel, the newer handset
definitely gives the Me Vibe a run for its money.
Battery
On
the battery-front, the Pure brings the consolation of having a bigger 2100 mAh
battery over Me Vibe’s 1800 mAh. The higher resolution could justify this bump.
But if we are to see both in action, we guess that there won’t be a significant
difference in the battery mileage since the Infinix Pure’s HD screen could
drain more juice.

Camera
On
the camera department, the Infinix fell short with only 8-megapixel sensor to
the 13-megapixel shooter of the Me Vibe. Of course, you won’t have the option
of customizing the back covers which, I guess, is not a bad thing for majority
of the users. Other specs come pretty basic – the 1GB of RAM, Android 4.4 KitKat,
8GB internal memory.

Conclusion
The
Cherry Mobile Me Vibe is a very tempting offering – an octa-core handset with upper
mid-tier feature set at an entry level price. However, the Cherry Mobile
Infinix Pure is upping the ante to a Php 1000 price difference for a bigger
battery and a legit display which could be good news for those in the market
for a more capable budget octa-core.
