Cherry Mobile Emerald Enticingly Brilliant

Cherry Mobile has been targeting the budget conscious consumers with wide range of smartphones with decent hardware and a more premium look with their Gem Series. To top the festival of gem smartphones is the Cherry Mobile Emerald.


The Emerald is quite a charm with quite an enticing over-all look. It does follow on the aesthetics of Flare S2 elegant design and form. It sports a 4 inch WVGA Display that is just about right size for your pocket. Powered by 1.3GHz Dual-Core Mediatek MT6572 Processor with Mali-400 GPU will surely handle simple task and functions. Memory is at 512MB of RAM and 4GB of Internal Storage is enough to store you apps and data needs. MicroSD expansion slot is present so if you need more storage just stick a bigger capacity card. The usual stuff of an entry level device to able to run your most of your social media apps as well as not so graphic intensive games.

Big Shout Out to You Guys there at Cherry Mobile Emerald Facebook Groups!!!


For its optics, it equipped with a 5MP primary back camera with Flash and VGA front. Just good enough for snapping those regular photos and selfies as well as video chat with friends abroad via skype.

You do get a the normal set of connectivity like WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and also HSPA+ data connectivity. Seriously at this time this should be the standards for entry level. 2G handset will be left out such that majority needs 3G connectivity.


At the price of 2,899.00, it is your basic phone or may be a secondary for that matter. As I put it, Cherry Mobile Emerald is enticing brilliant with its premium looks and completely packed will surely steal some limelight from the other brand (2G only, same spec) models at the similar price. Though my major concern is the battery pack that will be powering the device such that this is where Cherry Mobile falters.
