Cherry Mobile Flare Infinity Price is Php 12,999 : Best Looking Cherry Mobile Smartphone Ever?

In 2015, the top selling handset maker in the Philippines - Cherry Mobile - released the new Flare Premium series as part of its its efforts to improve the overall image of its most popular line of Android smartphones.

Whereas earlier Flare releases had less than modest design identities and pure plastic frames, Flare Premium models look far more elegant and classy as they flaunt real metal rims and curved glass panels.

The Cherry Mobile Flare Infinity, which was formally announced by the company at its Light Up Your Desire event held at The City of Dreams Manila on Monday - October 17, 2018, represents the culmination of CM's desire at improving Flare's branding.

Featuring a unibody anodized aluminum shell with white antenna bands reminiscent of the Apple iPhone 6s Plus as well as a near-bezel-less 5.5-inch Full HD IPS OGS display - called Infinity View - underneath 2.D curved glass, the new CM Flare Infinity is wonderful to hold and behold.

Having seen all of Cherry Mobile's Android smartphones from the very start, I'd have to say that Cherry Mobile Flare Infinity is the best looking handset that the company has released so far.

Apart from its downright pleasing aesthetics, however, what's amazing about this release is that it is also a powerhouse in terms of technical specifications and internal hardware. And in that sense, it's a flagship model through and through.

CM Flare Infinity is equipped with a 16 MegaPixel autofocus camera at the back with Dual Tone LED flash and Phase Detection AutoFocus that locks in on a subject in a split second, a 5 MegaPixel front cam for selfies, Full HD video recorder, Dual SIM Dual Standby capability, and 4G LTE connectivity support.

Two new features that have just debuted on the Flare Premium series are also present on this top-level handset. There's USB Type C port for faster charging and data transfer. And we have the Fingerprint Scanner - for unlocking the device with but a touch of a finger - that's ergonomically placed on the right panel for easy access when holding the device with one hand.

At its heart or underneath the shell, Flare Infinity runs its near vanilla Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS with a 64-Bit 2.0 GHz Octa Core ARM Cortex-A53 and Mali-T860MP2 GPU based MediaTek Helio P10 processor, has 4GB of RAM for top-notch multitasking experience, and comes with 32GB of ROM you can easily augment using the secondary hybrid nanoSIM slot supporting microSD card memory expansion. With these innards, this phablet should be able to deliver a stutter-free and very smooth 3D gaming and overall touch experience.

"No boundaries. No hesitations. No borders. We are giving importance to style without sacrificing performance," shared Cherry Mobile CEO Mr. Maynard Ngu as part of his description of their most premium Flare model yet.
