Seems change has come fast and now tech brands are updating their phone line up to counter the threat that is Xiaomi.
Cherry Mobile is introducing the successor of their Magnum line - Magnum S. It sports a 5 inch HD IPS Display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Powering the device is a 1.7GHz Octa-Core Processor which is for sure Mediatek MT6592 with Mali450-MP4 GPU coupled with 1GB RAM and 16GB Internal Storage. Well its not FHD but with this hardware setup is conducive for efficiency but i doubt that there will be an expansion microSD slot.
Good news to selfie-addicts it packs an 8MP front camera with LED Flash! Rear camera is no push over either with 18MP with Dual LED Flash. Talk about Flash Bomb / Paparazzi.
No word yet on connectivity aside from USB-OTG is supported. However, following todays industry standards it should have WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and HSPA+ data connectivity. It also supports Miracast and MHL for external display.
On software side, it runs the Android KitKat so performance is optimized with the latest Android updates. Comes with 2300mAh Battery.
Overall, the Magnum S packs powerful quality hardware plus KitKat that is ready to take regular user to the next level. It camera features is also a step above expectations (though exaggerated with the MP interpolation) or to say the very least a Selfie Phone. Pricing is the key here and 9,999 well that's below 10K. Is this Cherry answer to Xiaomi Mi3? Your thoughts?
