One of the things I hate about today’s smartphones is that the front cameras are rarely up to par with the primary rear-facing cameras. With people taking so many selfies, you would think that wasn’t the case. Well, rather than sport a rotating camera whose mechanism is likely to fail faster than any other piece of hardware a phone might have, the Cherry Mobile Selfie goes a different route by sporting dual front and back 13mp cameras.
Of course, it isn’t just enough to give a smartphone two equally good cameras on the front and back and say it’s optimized for selfies. Nope, the Cherry Mobile Selfie takes it even a step further by giving it the Milbeaut Image Processor by Fujitsu. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s the Beautification+ feature that allows you to further beautify your selfies according to several levels of enhancement.
The best part is that the Cherry Mobile Selfie is no slouch when it comes to the rest of the smartphone’s hardware. You’re getting a 4.7 inch HD IPS display, 1.7GHz MT6592 octa-core processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage. To cap that off, it’s powered by a 2,300mAh battery and runs KitKat 4.4 out of the box!
There’s no news yet as to when we might see the Cherry Mobile Selfie hit retailer shelves. However, we do know that it will retail for Php9,999, thanks to their 2014 Christmas price list. Of course, there’s still a possibility that pricing might change between now and then, so here’s hoping it gets more affordable by the time it comes out!
