Cherry Mobile Alpha Neon has arrived! Specs, Price, Philippines

Cherry Mobile Alpha Neon is here!

Was announced and featured during MWC, the Alpha Neon has finally appeared. Comes in colorful polycarbonate back housing that makes it pop and standout. On front is the display and capacitive touch buttons for navigation.

It sports a 5 inch 720p HD IPS Display with Scratch Resistance. Powering the device is Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 Quad-Core Processor complimented with 1GB RAM and 8GB (not same as what was presented at MWC which was 4GB) Internal Storage that can be expandable via microSD.

In terms of connectivity, it has the standards like WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. HSPA+ / 3G serves as gateway connection to the internet.

The 8MP and 2MP takes decent shots. Here are samples:

Rear Camera

Front Camera

Pretty clear to me. Windows Phones are also capable of adjusting manual settings for camera which includes sensitivity, shutter speed, exposure value and white balance using apps like OneShot. You feel like a pro and get amazing results. It has LED Flash to give you light for low light conditions.

With 2000mAh Battery, Neon should last longer with basic phone operations or moderate usage. Windows Phones are power efficient after all even with Data On.

Runs on Windows Phone 8.1 OS and comes with Office that lets you create and edit your documents on the go. Another uniquely Windows Phone is its location tracking as it tracks you even when your offline.

Spec wise it is similar to Cherry Mobile Alpha Luxe so performance is likely nearly the same. Priced for 3,999, the Alpha Neon is very capable and cute Windows Phone budget offering.

Cherry Mobile Alpha Neon and Alpha View Specs, Price, Philippines

For MWC, Cherry Mobile posted via Facebook page yet another milestone for their company with addition of new smartphones for their Alpha Line. Though I guess Microsoft let slip out a few details.

Quoting whats posted via Windows Blog...
"We have worked with Philippine-based Cherry Mobile on their previous Windows Phones and we are glad to see their next generation of devices that includes the 5″ Alpha Neon and 6″ Alpha View devices announced during MWC."

Alpha Neon houses a 5 inch HD Display powered by 1.2GHz Quad Core Snapdragon 200 with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal Storage. It packs 2000mAh Battery.

On to Phablet Alpha View with its 6 inch HD Display also comes with same Snapdragon 200 quad core processor coupled with 1GB RAM but bit higher 8GB Internal Storage and 2600mAh Battery. This is great budget offering as it may serve as affodable alternative to Lumia Phablets that have very steep prices.

Both offer the regular connectivity features as HSPA+, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS as well as similar camera optics at 8MP rear and 2MP front.

Neon is Priced for 3,999 and Alpha View for 4,999 Pesos.

Cherry Mobile has achieve so much, from local success of announcement of then Flare S100, to expansion to Thailand and now presenting at Mobile World Congress. Cherry Mobile is reaching new heights and exploring other territories. Kudos Guys! +Cherry Mobile +Poch Zenarosa +Lonson Alejandrino
