Cherry Mobile Hero: Save-ior?

Cherry Mobile Hero gets posted on Cherry Mobile Website and Thailand website (see here). Much has been known about this smartphone but is now finally showing some skin.

The Hero will sports a 5 inch qHD TFT display powered by a 1.2 GHz Quad-Core Processor which is supported by 1GB RAM and 4GB Internal Storage (yes, expandable). Camera is at 8MP Rear supported by Flash and 2MP for Front. Considering at this level of the playing field, it should have WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS connectivity. Battery is at 1600mAh and following what the flyer will tel us that it is sold at 5,499.00

So far not word on what processor it possess (hopefully newer Mediatek) and camera is to say interpolated as dictated 5MP on picture then 8MP on paper... Guess your wonder why not HD? Points to remember is that display resolution plays part in fluidity of the device such that a lower resolution gives less stress to the processor. In the Hero case, with a Quad-Core Processor and at only qHD it will definitely give you lesser lag experience and also it wont wear down battery that much. It is to say budget so might lesser some expectation or just cough up a few bucks to get more display, battery or anything upgrade that suits your liking.

To sum it all, its worth considering for its price and ware... February is fast approaching and this baby should be just around the corner.
