Cherry Mobile Razor versus Cherry Mobile Apollo |
Before the Razor was announced, Cherry Mobile created a lot of buzz, teasers and marketing gimmick about it. However the Apollo did not receive the same treatment, in fact it was never properly introduce to netizens and consumers alike.

Both phones' computing powers are done by MediaTek MT6589 chipset (1.2GHz Quad Core Cortex-A7 CPU and PowerVR SGX544MP GPU) with 1GB of RAM. Razor main advantages are having a slightly lower price and scratch resistant glass. The Apollo on the other hand has a higher display resolution (thus higher PPI), better camera modules and bigger battery not to mention removable.
The Razor has a slim profile, nice design and great build quality so I will give higher points with it in terms of design. If the looks matter to you most I can recommend you go for Razor especially if you are just using 1 SIM, otherwise Apollo will overwhelm this rivalry.
Which one for you is better? Please kindly share your opinions and thoughts in the comment section below.

DeleteThanks for this fair comparison of these two phones. I bought the Razor specifically for it's looks and the single sim capability. Other than that, I have no problems with it. Despite the touch response sensitivity being an issue, I can live with that with a few tweaks =)
ReplyDeleteMaganda po ba yung razor..?mabilis po ba? lag free? asap
Deletenow may idea na ko kung ano yung ma suitable sakin! thank you po sa comparison! :) i'm still waiting for the review of cm apollos though.. hope to see it soon :))
ReplyDeletei go for the one with the dragontrail glass and that's CM Razor.
ReplyDeleteP500 more than Razor, and you got a lot of upgrades!
ReplyDeleteI'm almost sure that Razor has MT6589-M kaya talo iyan ng Apollo which has MT6589.

ReplyDeleteThough, razor pa din ang dabest na style :)
ReplyDelete^^^update for the battery? Oh, maybe you just saw the specs outside the box, do you?
ReplyDeleteI prefer Razor for style, since Apollo was like an 'oldie' look for me.
