The
Cherry Mobile G1 is marketed to be the first locally-branded handset to come
with 64-bit desktop class architecture. In fact, it has been featured in the
Cherry Mobile Facebook page giving us a good impression on how its specifications would
be like.
Chipset and LTE Connectivity
For
the specs-initiated, the Cherry Mobile G1 comes with a Dragontrail-treated
5-inch IPS HD display with 1280 x 720 pixels. It will harness the computing
power of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 410, the most widely-used chipset in the entry-level LTE market. The SoC features 1.2GHz quad-core
Cortex A53 CPU coupled with an Adreno 306 graphics worker. It also boasts 2GB
of RAM for faster app launching and multitasking activities. And yes, you've heard it right, Cherry Mobile fans
will be left on the edge of their seats knowing that the device features a
blazing-fast 4G LTE connectivity which churns with Cat 4 speeds (up to 150 mbps).
Camera and Software
Mobile
photography enthusiasts will also be at awe with the improved crop of camera
sensors. The Cherry Mobile G1 packs a zippy 13-megapixel rear camera that is
reinforced with a 5-megapixel front sensor for your social media selfies. There's
also the generous 16GB of native memory for file storage; and 2500 mAh of
battery to give your device a long mileage.
The
Cherry Mobile G1 will, of course, boot with Android Lollipop on the get-go.
What's more worth-noting is the fact that this puppy only has a Php 5,999 asking
price making it one of the best deals for a handset to date. The G1 is expected to hit the shelves after its official announcement today.
