Throwback Thursday : Cherry Mobile Flare S100


Late 2012, local brand Cherry Mobile released one of it's successful smartphone to date, the Flare.

Dubbed as the "Dual Core ng Bayan" (Nation's Dual Core) due to the fact that this phone has a dual core processor which is expensive on that time at a price of just Php.3999, to cheap for a phone with that specs.

I remember when many people are eager to get it and had to spend hours on the line to take a hands on it.

But despite being a success, it had too many compromises that turned off the users giving them the reason to sell it.

One of them is the so-so battery life, the famous of the compromises, the 1500mah battery on this device is too short for a dual core device with 4" screen.

Another one is the lackluster volume quality coming from the 3.5mm headset jack, even the expensive earphones doesn't improve the sound quality, and lastly is the mentioned IPS display which isn't real because the top-side viewing angle is crappy.

So that's it folks the most successful phone by a local brand, the Dual core ng bayan.
