![]() Both phones have a great mix of the things that people look for in a device with price tags that’ll make even the most ardent Cherry Mobile hater look twice once they’re officially in malls. If you don’t like the camera app, you’re free to replace it with your own app of choice.Ĭherry Mobile’s two new phones are a return to form for the local brand. Both phones will now ship with stock Android 9 Pie out of the box, with only the camera app of the phone customized. The best part here is that Cherry Mobile removed one of the main pain points of their phone: their custom UI overlay. Cherry Mobile says that the phone supports fast charging via USB Type-C port as well, though there’s no word on exactly how fast yet (we’ll update this once we get confirmation). While the battery of the Flare S8 is a little low at just 2800mAh, the one of the Flare S8 Pro is impressive, coming in at 4000mAh. The Flare S8 Pro has 1GB more RAM and doubles the storage for less, which is a great deal if you ask us. Ditto for the Flare S8 Pro as well – Realme’s C2 has a price that’s comparable at Php 6490, though that’s for the 3GB/32GB version of the phone. ![]() Considering that most budget phones under 5K have 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, Cherry Mobile’s price for the Flare S8 is extremely reasonable. Those are really good specs for the price. The Flare S8 gets an Helio P23 chipset with a generous 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage, while the Flare S8 Pro gets an Helio P22 chipset with 64GB of expandable storage. The Flare S8 has a 13-megapixel front camera, while the Flare S8 Pro gets a higher-resolution 20-megapixel selfie shooter. Both phones use waterdrop notches on the front. The Flare S8 Pro is a little taller than the regular version, owing to its slightly larger 6.5-inch HD+ IPS TruView display compared to the S8’s 6.2-inch HD+ panel. The Flare S8 gets a 13-megapixel rear shooter with a 2-megapixel depth sensor, while the Flare S8 Pro gets a 20-megapixel shooter with a 5-megapixel depth camera. It’s a little unorthodox with the regular S8 though, with the power and volume buttons placed on the left side, and the micro USB port on the top along with the 3.5mm jack.īoth phones have fingerprint scanners on the rear, and both have dual-camera setups as well. Sadly, the S8 Pro doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack. ![]() ![]() Flare S8 proĪs pretty as both phones are, both of them use plastic backs, unfortunately, though that’s pretty par for the course for devices in their price category.īutton and port placement is what you’d expect on the S8 Pro with the power and volume buttons placed on the right side of the phone and the speaker and USB Type-C port on the bottom. Despite retailing for under 6K, both phones have really nice looking rear panels that you typically don’t associate with budget phones. Flare S8 Pretty on the outside, lots of power on the insideīoth the Flare S8 and the Flare S8 Pro have attractive, gradient backs to try and visually differentiate themselves from their competitors in the budget smartphone segment. It’s hard to ignore the value that these two phones bring to the table, though it’s still unclear if their price tags will be able enough for Cherry Mobile to recapture their past glory. But that’s changing today: Cherry Mobile has unveiled two aggressively priced smartphones under 10K that’s sure to delight anyone who wants a lot of bang for their buck.
