                Cellphones have become one of the most things that I fancy for almost a year. Ever since my Nokia 5630 got a dead pixel last year, my continuous quest to find the perfect or cheap phone is far from over. At this point in time I have had at least 21 Phones. As of now I currently use Samsung Galaxy S2 4G LTE as my main phone and the Cherry Mobile Flare as my commute/travel phone. They are far from perfect but they do their job and fantastically.

            Inches away from graduation, my classes are from Wednesday to Saturday only, I was excited and looking forward to today because I can finally stress test and give the Flare a full-day test.

Friends’ Feedback

            As I boastfully shoved the Flare to everyone’s faces, I was surprised to see another classmate also bought one, he was one of my friends who also looked forward to this phone but he did not have the misfortune to wait six hours before getting his hands on one. Generally, my classmates commented on its very sexy and execuitive look together with its light weight. As they explored the phone, MOST were amazed of its speedy response and its ability to play mainstream games smoothly. Overall, the Flare had a good impression on my friends and classmates alike. Most of them favor the Flare over its bigger brother Cherry Mobile Titan.

The Stress Test

START! (100% at 6am)

            Going to school, I take a 40-Minute ride from Project 8 to University of Santo Tomas, during that interval I played a 20 minute episode of American Dad and 20 minutes of music, As of now the Battery is at 93%. No Heat-up was observed. What I noticed just now was the disappointing sound it offers. At maximum volume using a good headset, I can still hear significant amount of noise outside. I was inside an FX and yet still found the sound awful in terms of loudness, I can barely hear the instruments I can hear when I play music with my S2. If loudness is a must, look elsewhere. The Titan offers much better quality when earphones are plugged.

            As aforementioned, this phone was passed around the classroom so they can experience the Flare first hand, most of them played a pinch of games and I was amazed to see at least 50% battery after what it had been through. My Cherry Mobile Flare almost has its memory for games and apps full, I only have 60Mb remaining, my classmates and I were able to see quite a significant slowdown. My Flare and the Other almost untouched Flare went head to head for speed testing, obviously, the new, almost empty Flare won, but not really that much to condemn it, my Flare still offered good quick response. Lastlty, 1080p Movies are a no-no in this phone as it showed lags while playing Batman Begins 1080p 1.6Gb and The Amazing Spiderman (1080p) which is 2Gb. The camera of the Flare is also a major plus as most in our class were impressed with its quality. Despite having the Cherry Mobile logo, this phone shoots at a high level unlike the Titan.

At my last class, I played NBA 2k13 set at 2 minutes per quarter, it was able to play the whole game and found my battery at about 30%. Heat up was now observed. Finally, as I went home I was able to play Two 20 Miunte American Dad episodes and about 20 Minutes of music (a jeepney ride home is slower than FX), I am amazed to see 11% Battery as of now (4pm). Viewing angles of this phone were also quite impressive as at my lowest setting I was able to see good amount of details to navigate the phone through the sunlight.

Stress test Two-Cents

            Admittedly I am very disappointed with its Sound quality, I was expecting more from Cherry as they had consistently produced phones with good quality speakers with head sets attached. I was disappointed because I thought I would be getting at least the same volume as the Titan.

            If you can get past the concern with the sound and its tilted sensor, then this is indeed a bang for the buck for new and experienced android users. For its price range, the cons can be ignored as most of the First Batch phones are expected to have bugs. At Php4000, I am yet to see a phone available that can offer as much as a Galaxy Advance S. Cheers for this wonderful phone!
