Cherry Mobile isn’t showing signs of slowing down with release after release. Shortly after making the Flame 2.0 and Omega HD available to the public, stocks of the Cherry Mobile Fusion Fire are making their way to dealers all over the country, as evidenced by this leaked box image by Cherry Mobile North Edsa on their Facebook fan page.
One of the things that a lot of interested consumers will be wondering is what OEM unit this is. Based on the specs on the box and Cherry Mobile’s partnership with Ainol, the Cherry Mobile Fusion Fire OEM is likely to be the Ainol Novo 10 Hero II. It makes sense considering the Hero II’s specs match nicely with the specs that can be seen in the leaked box image.
Update: The Cherry Mobile Fusion Fire has been spotted at a kiosk in SM Mall of Asia selling for Php7,999! (Thanks Jansel!)
Update: Cherry Mobile North Edsa just posted another pic, this time it’s the back of the box so you can see the specs! Just click on the image below to enlarge!

Of course, it’s yet to be confirmed if the Ainol Novo 10 Hero II will eventually turn out to become the Cherry Mobile Fusion Fire. Then there’s the chance I could be completely wrong. Heck, it’s happened before. Any other ideas as to what the OEM the Fusion Fire might be?

not bad. good job cherry mobile.
i have a Bolt & consider it a very good buy… but if what other forums say about the hero II is accurate, and if it is indeed this Fusion Fire, then it’s just like the Bolt except for the larger screen, bigger batt capacity & slightly higher cpu speed. 8k might be a tad bit on the steep end.
If today is Dec 31, 2013 – i would probably go home with this. But it’s still the 4th month of the year. 8 more months to wait for something from CM with greater specs, and lower price.
something better is always around the corner. anyway, carlo is right in that this is just the fusion bolt with a bigger screen, larger storage and battery. same performance :-/
agree! ahoy cherry, next product pls.
