Cherry Mobile Axis: Budget NFC

Cherry Mobile offers NFC with an affordable price with - The Axis at only 4,499.00.

This is not the first NFC device from Cherry Mobile as such the title holder belongs to Rave 2.0 which retailed at 8,999.00 (really steep for one feature). Axis is set to cater to more consumers especially budget-conscious ones.

Housing a 4.5 inch qHD (960 x 540 pixels) IPS Display, it is just the right size and resolution that will give the Axis 245 ppi vs Rave 2.0 5.3 inch qHD at only 208 ppi so i its better if you want a detailed viewing. It also has Dragontrail Glass protection for added sturdiness and anti-scratch. The device is powered by Broadcom 23550 Quad-Core Processor / Videocore IV GPU, I believe Axis would perform more efficiently cause of its with screen size. Same setup is seen with 1GB RAM for memory and 4GB Internal Storage with MicroSD for expansion.

Camera features is not the top of the line but 8MP primary back camera and VGA front is enough for your casual photo/video needs.

Future Proof. With NFC you do have added connectivity to future NFC-enabled devices and electronic payments. This is its edge to those devices without the feature. You also get the standard WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and HSPA+ for other sharing and peer-to-peer communication modes and for staying online. Oh by the way, it supports USB-OTG so connecting your USB devices expands what you can do with Axis.


Battery  is at 1750mAh. It is decent enough to last the day but for heavy users might I suggest a power bank.

What you get: Unit, Battery, Charger, Data Cable, and Headset. Freebie (depends on supply)

Overall, Cherry Mobile Axis is great addition to CM portfolio although I wished they put a newer known chipset to facilitate new hardware and promise us to have the Kitkat update (hope). Anyways, Axis is worth considering because of its affordability and clearly whips out Rave 2.0 out of the picture.
