Cherry Mobile springs Life to 2.0 comes with few updates.
Life was selling like hot cakes back then so let see if 2.0 can soar as the original.
The new Life 2.0 retains the 4 inch WVGA Display size but hopefully it won't have the touch bug which plague the First. Another thing to consider is that the new life is now packing a Quad-Core Snapdragon 200 MSM8212 Processor up from Dual Core that will surely a boost in performance and efficiency. Again, like other CM with the same chipset, it packs Adreno 302 NOT 305 that may show in benchmarks apps such that according to Cherry Mobile these apps have not yet been updated. Still has 512MB RAM which is a downer but its entry level so might be compatible with some people basic smartphone needs. 4GB of internal storage is available but it does have a microSD Slot for expansion purposes.
Camera has jumped to 8MP primary back camera from 5MP but who knows it might be just interpolated, just hope it delivers better output. Oh it comes with Flash for added light and for flashlight (feel free tough to check if it bright or not). The usual VGA front is present for your selfies and video chat.
For its connectivity, it features the standard WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. Cherry Mobile also delivers HSPA+ data connectivity at this price range which is great cause admittedly being connected is a need nowadays.
The hard thing to consider is the battery at 1350mAh. This battery size is good for small screen but cant say on this 4 incher and it limits phone use especially when playing games and data on.
Overall, Life at 2.0 brings a lot of improvements yet still the same as of the original in delivery the basic smartphone experience to newbies, entry level and less fortunate. Some of us to say finds happiness in the simple things and so Cherry Mobile is a simple joy. Hopefully no touch bug, Snapdragon 200 chipset and battery optimized and efficient, if this are met guess we cant complain at only 3,299.00.
