You’ll notice that two of the phones are now using Samsung sensors for their cameras. This is because Cherry Mobile has entered into a partnership with Samsung for improving their devices’ imaging capabilities.
As for the S6 Selfie, they have also teamed up with Japanese company, Morpho, which specializes in image processing technology.
All three smartphones are also running on Cherry Mobile’s own take on Android, Cherry OS, which adds a whole fresh new colorful look, along with a bunch of other features such as Filters and Video Beautification.
The Cherry Mobile Flare S6 and S6 Selfie will retail for PhP3,999 and PhP7,999 respectively, and are expected to be available in stores this October along with the launch of the brand’s newest TVC. The S6 Plus will be priced at PhP9,999 and will be available in November.
