Firefly Mobile's newest devices, the Intense X and Intense Mini

Firefly Mobile, a local smartphone brand has been hot for a while after releasing their Intense 64 LTE which, frankly received some pretty good reception. Well, it's quite successful to say the least since they opted to release two new smartphones as a part of their Intense line.

First of the two is the higher-spec'd INTENSE X. It's a cheaper and less-powerful alternative to their Intense 64 LTE. Well, for a price of just P5,999, you will get a pretty decent device for your daily smartphone needs.

So it has a rather large 5.5-inch HD display, that's 1280x720 pixels. Under the hood runs a MediaTek MT6592M chipset, which equates into eight Cortex-A7 cored clocked at 1.4Ghz and is coupled by an ARM Mali-450MP4 GPU. Multi-tasking is handled by a mere 1GB of RAM. It has 16GB of internal storage which is expandable via microSD card up to 128GB (WOW !).

To complete your idea about the device, here are the full list of specs :

Next in line is the more cheaper and smaller INTENSE MINI. Interestingly enough, cheaper price doesn't mean that the specs should be lowered too much. Frankly, it seems like they just made it smaller and more compact.
