Cherry Mobile Titan TV Price Php 6,999, Complete Technical Specifications, Release Date : Comes with Mobile Analog TV and Antenna Doubling as Stylus!
Cherry Mobile may not be an OEM but the Pinoy handset company sure knows how to pick the right smartphones from Chinese manufacturers to make available locally.
Perhaps fully aware that a lot Filipinos love watching TV and that more and more mobile users are starting to jump into the 'smartphone' bandwagon, CM - it appears - didn't think twice about bringing Karbonn A30 Android smartphone to the Philippines, tweaking its specifications, and rebranding it as the new Cherry Mobile Titan TV.
This smartphone - which became available at Cherry Mobile booths and kiosks last Friday, February 8, 2013 - has almost similar specifications to that of CM's 2012 best-seller, the Cherry Mobile Titan, albeit it has a far larger display, handles multitasking with 1 GB of RAM, features mobile analog TV, and flaunts an antenna that doubles as a capacitive touchscreen stylus.
Bigger than Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and coming replete with internal specs approximating that of Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, Cherry Mobile Titan TV costs only Php 6,999, which - I think - is already very low for a handset of this calibre. I mean, features and specs wise, this appears to be a very sound and 'sulit' release.
I really wonder, though, how durable and reliable it is. I don't know if you'll agree with me but I'm inclined to believe that sacrifices and comprises had to be made to keep the price of the handset that low. Like what I shared in a previous entry, I haven't owned a Cherry Mobile phone -- but I totally have no qualms about getting one if only to check out the quality of CM products. For now, however, I'd like to invite those who have owned or are currently using an Android smartphone from this company to answer our TP poll and to share their experience with their device via our comments section.
