While most people are high on the launch of other companies’ flagship devices, a Filipino mobile phone company launched 2 new Windows devices at the Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona, Spain. The new smartphones both run on Windows 8.1 and boast relatively bigger screen than the Alpha Luxe. Here are the details of the new devices:
Cherry Mobile Alpha Neon
This is Cherry Mobile’s most colorful Windows smartphone. Judging from its full specifications below, its processor is identical to last year’s Alpha Luxe. Cherry Mobile kept mum about the phone’s camera but we’re hoping it to be far better than Alpha Luxe’s. If this device turns out to have the same camera specs, it’s still a great buy especially if it’s priced equal or less than PhP5,000.

Cherry Mobile Alpha View
This one looks very elegant, and I’m digging it. There are 2 glaring things that I love about this device – 6-inch HD display and 2600 mAh battery. Nuff said!
