Cherry Mobile Flare S5; Octa Core, 3GB RAM, USB Type-C, Fingerprint Sensor for Php5,699 |
Cherry Mobile recently launched the Flare Premium series at the City of Dreams Manila, there are a total of 6 devices showcased that night, we already covered 5 of them and we are down to the last item, the Cherry Mobile Flare S5.
The Cherry Mobile Flare S5 shares many similarities with the Flare 5, in fact, almost all their specs are the same with a very few key differences. The latter has a metal-clad body, while the former is more on the 'plastic' side. Both have 5-inch HD display, but made of different screen technology, AMOLED versus the IPS LCD.
The Flare S5 dropped the usual micro USB 2.0 port in exchange for the newer USB Type C port, making it one of the most, if not the most affordable device to have that kind of feature. It also has a fingerprint sensor, which is missing with its non-S sibling. These two added specs are more than worth it for the added 200 pesos, yes, it has an SRP of Php5,699 , while the Flare 5 is Php5,499.
No mention yet about the availability, but it is expected to arrive before the year ends.
