Cherry Mobile Flare XL: An Inexpensive Octa-core Phablet for the Masses

Cherry Mobile Flare XL

Aside from the Flare S3 Power, Cherry Mobile also just announced another exciting addition to the Flare series: the Flare XL. The Cherry Mobile Flare XL is priced at just Php4,999 but manages to pack a 5.5 inch HD screen, 1.4GHz octa-core processor, 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. Essentially, it’s almost the same smartphone as the Flare S3 Power, with the main differences being that it swaps out the high capacity battery in favor of a larger screen.

It’s not clear what specific camera sensor the Flare XL uses for its primary camera, but it should still be pretty decent as it’s a 13mp autofocus shooter that uses a BSI sensor. For selfies, there’s also a 5mp fixed focus shooter in front. The smartphone is powered by a 2,300mAh, which is adequate enough for casual users.
