    Default Cherry Mobile: Omega -Review-


    Hi All,

    Ok... Due to the public demand even if I didnt really want to get this phone the New Cherry Mobile: Omega.. i dubbed this phone as "ALL TALK; NO ACTION" This is because of all that hype on the specs then we got a disappointing 512 ram and WVGA screen with a pathetic pixel count... HOWEVER I learn a lesson on this phone "do not judge the phone on its cover is actually turned out ook and very good value for my money... see below on the whole story..

    Specs:
    -1GHz Dual-core Processor
    -512MB RAM
    - 5.2" WVGA (800x480) - 179ppi 5point Capacitive Screen
    -4GB Internal Storage, expandable up to 32GB via microSD
    -Dual SIM, Dual Standby
    -5.2-inch Capacitive touchscreen, WVGA resolution
    -5-megapixel rear-facing camera
    -VGA front-facing camera
    -3G, FM, Bluetooth, WiFi, WiFi Hotspot, GPS
    -Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
    -2,300mAh Battery
    -Colors: Black/White
    Price PHP6,699.00

    Pros:
    - Jelly Bean
    -1GHz Dual-core Processor
    -Design
    -2,300mAh Battery

    Cons:
    -WVGA (800x480) - 179ppi
    -512MB RAM
    -Camera

    I've been using the phone for quite a while now... at first i was like ... sigh why 512? why oh why.... then hmmm turned out it was really smooth.. did not have any issues at all you just need to be mindful of the number of apps running then kill them great phone to use really with the big 5.2" screen typing is really great... If your in to quality graphics i would suggest the startmobile: flirt than this... but for the price 6,699 I would say its great value for money... the design is great due to its sleek curves it actually looks thinner than it really is its more comfortable on the hands compared to the CM; Titan.. in my opinion better build quality. the battery life is great, full charge with heavy usage gets me through a whole day and charge up the next day not bad actually and this is with everything turn on.... 100% brightness; Wifi ; 3G; games, email and internet. the funny this is when you charge it up for the first time i took 9hrs to get to 100% i dont know why but it only happened once... the only problem I have with this phone is the camera.. ok the WVGA resolution is an issue but c'mon its only 6,699 you just got to let them have that heheh Going back to the camera issue.... All i can say is its the worst camera i have every came across the quality is just really bad... take my word for it its BAADDD!!!..

    Overall:
    If you looking for a phone to take pictures with and a great screen quality then dont get this save up 3k more and get the Starmobile: Flirt your better of with that .. BUT having said that and those things dont really bother you then get this phone its a great phone despite its misleading reputation because of the post from lazada saying its had 1gb ram... for PHP6,699 its a great phone for its price... I would gladly spend P200 more to get this rather than the CM:Titan better built however lower screen quality but the jelly bean experience is just priceless...
