MyPhone Rio Goes Lite

If you want Rio but then again cant seem to cough up those extra bucks then good news presenting Rio Lite.

It brings that colorful vibe that the Original Rio possess even with a cut back on somethings. It does sport a 4.7 inch IPS Display powered by 1.3GHz Quad-Core Processor with 4GB Internal storage and 512MB of RAM (talk about major cutback). Comes with also 5MP rear and 2MP front (uhh good for selfies). All in at only 3,999.00

However it must be noted that with an additional 1000 pesos you do get the Full Rio (see here). Cutbacks from display, ram to camera and maybe the battery does not bode well with Rio Lite price range. MyPhone can do better.

Specs so far:

Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

4.7” IPS WVGA (800x480) Display 

1.3GHz Quad-Core Mediatek MT6582M

Arc Mobile 650d: Phablet (or Tablet with Phone Functions) on a Budget

Spotted Arc Mobile 650d Tab (Phablet for me) that does not hurt your wallet. It has a 6.5 inch Display powered by 1.3GHz (Mediatek 6572/8312?) Dual-Core Processor coupled with 512MB RAM and 4GB of Internal Storage.

There are just a few details for other hardware like camera and connectivity. It only packs a VGA Rear (W/ Flash See Pic) and Front. It only states that it does support WiFi and is a Dual-Sim device. Battery is at 2200mAh.

Sold for 3,599.00 packing a 6.5 inch with phone capabilities, throw in that big battery its clearly a steal. Though I think its clear that they made cuts with the camera and maybe connectivity but still Arc Mobile will not be overlook when looking a Budget Phablet in this price range.

Wait a minute, hold it right there.Well accordingly it is a Tablet with Phone functionality with 2G connecctivity (Yikes!!! minus pogi points) If  this is the case then its a small one in terms of display and battery. Tablets nowadays have 2500mAh and has hdmi ports and USB capabilities so therefore if it lacks features like those then it fails to meet standards.

MY THOUGHTS: This unit might be packing Mediatek 6572 / 8312 Dual-Core Processor so therefore MALI-400 GPU. The display may have a WVGA resolution (800 x 480 pixels) see picture as it icons are quite large. Think they cut back on some items most likely Bluetooth and GPS then again I await Arc Mobile to respond. 

Specs so far:

Cherry Mobile Omega Infinity: 15K Octa Core Phablet

Cherry Mobile has unleashed its mega offering - Omega Infinity. Last time it was just on paper and now its available in selected Cherry Mobile Store and Dealers.

For starters, it packs a 5.5 inch Full HD resolution OGS IPS Display that will delivers more pixel density at 401ppi which means gives better viewing pleasure with clear and vibrant colors that is best suited for a phablet screen for games and entertainment. It also has Corning Gorilla Glasss 2 for scratch resistance and durability.

Packing a 1.7GHz 6592 Octa-Core Mediatek Processsor with Mali-400 MP4 GPU will definitely give you fluid Android experience. Together with 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage, you have no problems with multitasking as well as not encounter "Not Enough Storage" sign. Well you won't have microSD slot but you do have OTG functions on hand.

In terms of camera, it sports an 18MP primary snapper with Dual LED Flash and for the front at 8MP. It's safe to say it's interpolated but on consolation it packs a Sony Camera Sensor so you do get great output.

Moving on to connectivity, it packs almost everything WiFi,Bluetooth, GPS, and NFC. However, with regards to data is just HSPA+ so NO LTE. Battery is at 2900mAh.

Overall, the Omega Infinity is Cherry Mobile's Flagship Octa-Core Phablet with Full HD Display, Powerful Internals, High Grade Camera and Near Complete Connectivity that seeks to compete with Mid-Range International brands at only 14,999.00. Cons? wish they could pack a bigger battery to sustain the Full HD and Octa-Core. LTE is not present but hey our Telcos need to cope up anyways.

Post by Cherry Mobile.

Warping up, Cherry Mobile is just offering Filipinos with wide range of products that caters to various needs. In this case if you need a cross between a tablet and a phone that equally powerful and premium then maybe this one is for you.

Cherry Mobile Omega Spectrum: HD and USB OTG ready

We got a glimpse of Cherry Mobile Spectrum from leaked photos giving us basic specification. Now we have photos of actual unit as well as benchmarks.

The device packs 5 inch HD (1280 × 720 pixels) Display with a Dragontrail Glass Protection. I must note that on the front it just says HD LCD only but on their promotional banner it says IPS (will get an update on this). 

Moving on, at its heart is a Broadcom BC23550 Quad-Core Processor which means Videocore IV HW for its graphic card. To compliment its SOC, comes a 4GB internal storage and 1GB RAM. See Benchmark for reference.

In terms of carmera features, it packs a 8MP primary snapper with LED Flash and for its camera it has a 2MP (well its 2 when you round off 1.9MP)

WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and HSPA+ is on board so connectivity is covered. Another plus is the USB OTG that will supporting hosting USB devices. It's also Miracast ready so extending your screen towards another supported display. Battery is at 2000mAh.

To wrap up, the Cherry Mobile Omega Spectrum brings a lot to the table with a better display together with the basic connectivity and decent camera features at only 4,999.00. Broadcom chips also played its part with Quad-Core and OTG at entry level prices. Mediatek should be worried.

Cherry Mobile Ultra LTE Ready

Another LTE is coming to the market in the form of Cherry Mobile Ultra at only 8,999.00.

The Ultra has 5 inch HD (1280 x 720 pixels) IPS LCD Display powered with 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8926 Quad-Core Process coupled with Andreno 305 GPU. It comes with 8GB of Internal storage and 1GB of RAM. It comes with a microSD Slot for good measure. Certainly the hardware will give you a very fluid and great Android and Gaming experience with less worry on not having notification of storage problems.

Moving on, it also packs stellar camera features with 13MP rear with Flash as well as 5MP front. Surely it will be enough for your selfies and also casual picture / video taking with big amounts of pixel quality. On top of that you do get reliable connectivity with the basic WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS and yes LTE for fast upload and downloads.

Powering the device is a 2000mAh Battery. Is it enough?

It does run on Android Jellybean 4.3 but it is upgradeable to KitKat. Seems everything is covered from hardware and software side by Cherry Mobile.

At least for fair amount of money, you do get a winner smartphone. Cherry Mobile always surprise me with the units they offer to revolutionize the local scene. Hopefully pumped the battery a little more such that if LTE or Entertainment and Gaming really does need a bigger source of power (if this gets popular, theres a possibility that our talented geeks modify some branded to fit the Ultra). Overall, it surely is Ultra and for sure it is going to be Ultra Big Success.

Cherry Mobile Urban, Omega Spectrum and Omega Aeon

Cherry Mobile is gearing up for another set of smartphones. Found some pic flooding Facebook of their new units called, The Urban, Omega Spectrum and Omega Aeon.

Lets start with the Urban selling at only 4,699. Its sports a 4.5 inch qHD (960 x 540 pixels) IPS LCD Display powered by 1.3GHz Quad-Core Processor (Mediatek 6582 me thinks) that comes with 4GB Internal Storage and 1GB RAM. It also packs 8MP rear camera (W/ Flash see pic) annd 2MP front camera. For Connectivity, it features WiFi, Bluetooth and HSPA+. This device is Dual-Sim and runs Android KitKat 4.4.

On to Omega Spectrum that has a price tag of 4,999.00. Comes with a better display at 5 inch with HD resolution (1280 × 720 pixels) IPS but can't say much about the processor with 1.2GHz Quad (Broadcom BCM23550?). Storage and RAM is same with above 4GB/1GB and with regards to camera 8MP with Flash / 2MP Front as well as higher probability of having same kind of connectivity with WiFi/Bluetooth/HSPA+. On the upside, it supports USB OTG so that might attract some attention.

Finally ending with Omega Aeon at 5,999. To say it just a slight upgrade to Spectrum, also offering 5 inch HD IPS with just added OGS technology. It is said to run 1.2GHz Quad-Core Processor with 4GB of internal storage and 1GB RAM. It might also gets basic connectivity functions such as WiFi/Bluetoot/GPS/HSPA+. It's main selling point is its camera features with 13MP primary snapper with Flash and 5MP front camera.

Seems it will be an interesting Fiesta with Cherry Mobile coming days. Lets keep our eyes open for more units ehem octa-core...

Thanks to our very active Cherry Savy Folks from Facebook Groups!!!

Cloudfone GEO 400q+

Cloudfone has updated its GEO 400q with a + sign. The GEO 400q+ have almost the same specs with an exception of one key important part.

The new device still sports the same 4 inch FWVGA (854x480) Display powered by the same 1.3GHz Mediatek 6582M Quad-Core SOC which brings along MALI-400 MP2 GPU. Storage is 4GB for internal and expandable via MicroSD up to 32 GB.

Same goes with the camera and connectivity. It is equipped with 5MP rear and VGA front camera combo but NO Flash. WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and HSPA+ is on board. Battery is ample with 2000mAh.

The one thing is that its RAM has been upgraded to 1GB from 512MB. This is quite important for multitasking and running memory intensive apps.

To sum it all, Cloudfone really needed to update its line up. The 400q+ offers better display and is powered with a very reliable processor. Now that it has 1GB RAM, you have less worry of crashes due to lack of memory. It offers also the basic sets of camera features and connectivity though I must say they could have added LED Flash for better captures in low light. At 3,999.00 Pesos its worth every penny.

Cherry Mobile Topaz

Cherry Mobile releases yet another entry level smartphone - The Topaz.

The device offers just the basics starting with 3.5 inch Display powered by Dual-Core Processor with Mali-400 GPU (most likely 6572 Mediatek Processor). Internal Storage is at 2GB only and expandable via MicroSD slot.

In terms of camera, it is just equipped with 2MP rear and VGA front. It does have HSPA+ for data connectivity.

So far, this is what we know.

One thought though it is priced the same with Cherry Mobile own Amethyst at only 2299 Pesos so it may just serve as an alternate for the other and will also share same specifications. Therefore 256MB of RAM, WiFi, and Bluetooth.





Specs So Far:
3.5" Display
1GHz Dual-Core CPU
Mali-400 GPU
2GB Internal Storage
Expandable via MicroSD up to 32GB

Spotted: Lenovo ThinkPad 8

Debuted this CES 2014, the Lenovo ThinkPad 8 appears with matching price tag.

Sporting a 8.3 inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) Display powered by relatively updated 2.4GHz Intel Z3770 Quad-Core Bay-Trail chip with Intel HD Graphics coupled with 2GB LPDDR3 RAM and 64GB EMMC for Internal Storage. Hardware is just slightly above its competitors especially with SOC.

On the camera side, it packs a 8MP rear supported by LED Flash and 2MP Snapper up front. Both cameras records Full HD. The device also comes with Dual digital array microphones with echo cancellation and Stereo with Sound Retrieval System (SRS). Micro USB 3.0, Micro SD Slot, Micro HDMI and audio combo ports are able.

So far this one runs Windows 8.1 32 bit and comes with MS Office Home and Student 2013.

Overall, this would be a great portable device with Full Windows on it (Yes, it can run Full Core Applications -selected- like your Desktop). It also offers a better display with WUXVGA compared to Acer W4 and Asus T100. So far so good but...

$399/$429 is the announced price which should translate to 17-19K Pesos. However this is not the case for as according to what's posted its 26,000.00 PHP!!! Yikes. Too bad so much potential but seems too pricey compared to what Acer and Asus is offering.

If you want updates on the latest ThinkPad then head on over to the product link here...
