I need a phone that I can easily carry wherever I go but, I don't want just any ordinary phone, what I want is an Android Phone. Unfortunately, Android Phones from popular brands like Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, etc. are extremely expensive and I can't afford any of them.
The cheapest branded Android Phone that I know is Samsung's Galaxy Pocket with a price of 4,889 PHP in Lazada.com.ph. It runs on Android 2.3 with a processor speed of 832 MHz. It's full features are:
- Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread)
- 2.0 Megapixel
- Stereo FM Radio with RDS
- TFT Capacitive Touchscreen
- TOUCHWiZ User Interface (up to 7 pages- widget desktop
- 832 MHz ARM 11
- Virtual Qwerty Keyboard
- Adobe Flash Player
- Geo-Tagging
- Multi-touch
- Multi-tasking
- Voice Search™
- Music Player
- Sound Recorder
- Polaris Viewer
In fact, I'm kinda interested in two Android Phones. One from Cherry Mobile and one from MyPhone.
For Cherry Mobile, I'm interested in Cherry Mobile Flare. It runs on a 1.2 GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and it's operating system is Android 4.0. It's full features are:
- Chipset: 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon Dual Core
- Camera: 5 MP (Main), VGA (Front)
- SIM Slot: Dual SIM
- Screen Type: IPS Capacitive
- Screen Size: 4.0 Inches
- Navigation Key: Touchscreen
- Dimensions: 123 mm x 62.5 mm x 11.8 mm
- ROM: 4GB
- RAM: 512MB
- Slot: Up to 32GB microSD
- 3G/HSDPA Connectivity
- Data Connectivity: Bluetooth, microUSB, GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi, GPS
- Messaging: SMS, MMS, E-mail, Instant Messaging
- Platform/OS: Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
- Battery: Lithium Ion 1500 mAH
- Color: Black
The other phone that I'm interested is MyPhone's A848 Duo. It's operating system is also an Android 4 and, if I'm not mistaken, it also runs on a dual core processor (I could be wrong, though). Here is A848 Duo's full features:
- Dual SIM Touch Android Phone
- GSM/EDGE Triband
- 4" 800x480 pixels IPS WVGA
- Android 4.0.4
- WIFI
- 5.0 MP rear camera
- VGA front camera
- LED flash
- MP3/MP4 player/Stereo FM Radio
- Bluetooth/USB/3.5mm jack
- Expandable memory up to 32GB
The question now is, which of the last two Android Phones should I buy? Honestly, I'm leaning towards Cherry Mobile Flare because of its price. It's the cheapest of the three and it's loaded with features but if it's no longer available anywhere then I might get a MyPhone A848 Duo instead.
How about you? Which Android Phone do you like better between Cherry Mobile Flare and MyPhone A848 Duo?
