Last week we reported that the latest Cherry Mobile Android One device will come out today. At that time, we thought it would be the One 4G, however, it turns out to be incorrect, and the actual product is simply called Cherry Mobile G1.

We know what you are thinking, it has the same name with local brand's first ever wearable device. But according to one of Cherry Mobile's executives, they used G1 because they will continuously release Android One smartphones and it will be easier for the consumers to follow that naming scheme in the future (e.g. G2 for the next device and so on). Moreover, the G1 'smartwatch' life cycle has already ended, so there is nothing to be confuse of.

Going back to the Cherry Mobile G1, all the specs that we wrote before happened to be almost accurate. It has a 5-inch IPS On-cell display with HD resolution and Dragon Trail Glass on top. On the inside it is powered by 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon quad core processor clocked at 1.2GHz each coupled with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.

It runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box and with confirmed update for Android M plus 2 years of software support directly from Google. Amazingly, Cherry Mobile managed to bring down its SRP to a very reasonable Php5,999, this is actually about half the price ($260) of General Mobile 4G, its twin Android One device from Turkey. Not only that, every purchase also comes with 8GB of micro SD card and a data SIM card. In addition, those early adopter who will buy it upon release two weeks from now will also get a free Pyxis Clicker worth 790 pesos.
