Just today, Cherry Mobile launched a slew of new Flare devices here at New World Hotel, Makati. Apart from Cherry Mobile Flare and Flare S, Cherry Mobile also unveiled Flare S4 Plus, a 5.5-inch octa-core device wrapped in metal frame with chamfered edges.
While most Cherry Mobile fanatics have been still ogling over the recently launched Flare X, the Flare S4 Plus is positioned for those who are into maximizing their productivity, having a smooth gaming experience and snapping high resolution photos.
The device has a 5.5-inch OGS IPS display with 1080×1920 resolution. It is pre-installed with Android 5.1, with minimal skinning and Cherry Mobile loaded applications. Processor speed is clocked at 1.3hz (octa-core) and supported with a 3GB RAM. Internal memory is 16gb, and may be expanded up to 64gb more via microSD. Its battery capacity is 2800mAh.
In terms of camera, the device has 16mp BSI rear facing camera, and a 8mp BSI front facing camera. We haven’t tried its camera yet, but based on their product demo, both cameras are definitely top notch.
Flare S4 Plus has a metal frame but with a non-removable back casing. Construction is pretty solid, and looks very premium in all angles. Being their current flagship Flare device, it is positioned to be a premium device, with premium performance yet at an affordable price.
How about price? Flare S4 Plus is priced at PhP7,999, a tad PhP1000 higher than Flare X. We are surely going to give you guys an update about Flare S4 Plus pretty soon.
