Finally
acquiring the Cloudfone Thrill 430x, the Triple Threat Match Up of the Year is
about to start, if you find a better triple threat match up with phones
available today under P8000 let me know. Individually, each phone packs a
punch, First competitor is Cherry Mobile Titan, first out the market yet
continue to be most elusive of the three. It sports a 5 Inch 800x480 display
and a relatively good 2350mah Battery. Next up, is the MyPhone A919 Duo.
Recently released 5 inch 854x480 mammoth by MyPhone, the heavier price tag is
not a hindrance as it sports a better camera and display than that of the
Titan, stress test also showed an impressive batter life. Finally comes the
smaller but fatter yet also as deadly, Cloudfone Thrill 430x. Having only 4.3
Inch, it makes up with its gargantuan 4160Mah Battery partnered with QHD
Display and also sporting an equally impressive audio output, the clash of
these three is inevitable.
DISCLAIMER: THESE ARE MY PREFERENCE, I’M NOT SAYING WHAT I PICKED IS
BETTER, WHAT I PICK IS WHAT I PREFER.
1. BOX CONTENTS
The three packages carry a USB Cable, Charger, Headset, and Manuals. The Titan has a free flip cover whereas the MyPhone has a free CD. The
USB Cable of the A919 is much rugged than that of the Titan, in addition, the
stock headset on MyPhone A919 is much better than that of the Titan. Cloudfone
offers a free globe sim. 430x’s stock headset does not dis appoint either.
COOL DISCOVERIES:
·
Using the A919 headset on the Titan gives you great
audio output, louder volume, cleaner sounds and additional instruments.
·
Cloudfone’s
stock headset is the most universal among the three as it was able to
work on both Titan and MyPhone along with other phones like Nokia N86
·
Cloudfone also packs a pre-installed CD Installer
·
MyPhone carries PinoyApp which gives you tons of
Filipino things, pre-installed are some prayers like 6pm prayer, 9pm prayer,
Angelus and 6am prayer.
Winner: MyPhone A919 – I Just love
the pre-installed Pinoy apps
2. PHONE SUPERFICIALITY
This part is by an
individual’s preference, the Titan only comes in black, and it is the heaviest
of the three, A919 is said to come in Black and white, though I am yet to see a
black A919, Cloudfone comes only in black. A919 and Titan both sport a 5 Inch
Screen and the Cloudfone has 4.3 Inch, I have to point out that 430x is the
fattest and A919 is the slimmest. Out of all the three, only the 430x has a
dedicated camera button. Lastly, the three phones all have finger print
magnetic backs with 430x walking away with its very touchy back.
Winner:
TIE between Titan and A919 – I just hate the fatness of the Thrill

3.1 Speakers
A staple for
rebranders is its speaker. As said on my previous clash, Titan vs A919, both
phones offer superb loudspeaker prowess. Unfortunately for the 430x it performs
behind both as its loudspeaker is observatively, YES OBSERVATIVELY IS NOT A
WORD, softer than Titan or A919. Fortunately for 430x, I have to give it the
best Audio output headsets attached, it may be due to its Built-in YAMAHA music
amplifier with AAC speaker, I don’t know, but it has the best sound.
Winner:
Cloudfone Thrill 430x
I highly doubt anyone would play movies with their phones in loudspeaker.
Music playing is just much better in Cloudfone.
3.2 Display
This is the part
where the Cherry Mobile Titan quietly walks away and gets a break. Display of
the Titan is obviously the worst among the Three, its 800x480 display makes it
look anaemic compared to A919 and 430x. Pitting the two, I had a hard time
choosing. MyPhone has the bigger screen but Cloudfone shows much more on a
screen than the A919 does. Display on both phones is beautiful and Colourful!
Winner:
TIE between MyPhone A919 and Cloudfone 430x
*** A919 and 430x
both sport a 5 Point Multi-Touch whereas the Titan only has two. An update is
scheduled for the Titan to sport a 5 Point Multi-touch so wait for it.
3.3 Gaming

Ok so as I have
mentioned gaming will be based on smoothness. After a break by the Titan, he
comes back to send 430x on a break. Playing with 430x is not bad, but it’s just
not made for HD Gaming. Mainstream games played fine on the three phones. NBA
2k13 was tested on all the phones; I had the problem of repeatedly accessing
all the three of them first before the game actually starts. Lags are apparent
on the three devices at start but it will soon wear off. The 30fps problems are
observable on A919 but, FOR ME; it
has played it most smoothly.
Winner:
MyPhone A919
3.4 Camera
430x Images Here
Another point that
makes the Titan bullied, Titan images are just horrendous. You may think this
is another hard decision making for A919 VS the 430x happy to say it’s not as I
will reward the win to Cloudfone as it has been able to shoot images when the
object moves. Shooting still shots is pretty much the same for both A919 and
430x but when an object or a person moves A919 blurs the image and destroys it.
Fortunately for 430x it has performed well.
Winner:
Cloudfone Thrill 430x
3.5 Need for Speed
RAM and
Clockspeed Review
Many of you might wonder, what is RAM and the Clockspeed
for? Should I go for higher RAM, less clock or vice versa? The answer depends
on how you use the phone. Random Access Memory (RAM) is used to determine how
many apps your unit can run simultaneously. So bigger RAM means you can multi-task
much more applications without worrying about lagging on the system.
Clockspeed is used to determine how fast your system will run a certain
application. Simply put, higher Clockspeed means faster phone. THIS IS THE
GENERAL IDEA ON RAM AND CLOCKSPEED. Factors on speed are also determined by the
chipset architecture, GPU, etc.
Both Titan and A919 carry Mediatek MT6577 1GHz dual-core processor with the
same PowerVR SGX531 GPU whereas Cloudfone uses 1.2GHz dual-core qualcomm
snapdragon processor. Unfortunately for the latter, I observed it to only be a
relatively faster Flare which is disappointing for its price range. Given that
it has more RAM at 768Mb, I still prefer the former.
Winner:
TIE between Cherry Mobile Titan and MyPhone A919
3.6 User-Friendliness
The three sport
Android 4.0.4 on release. Exploring the phones, you get the same pre-installed
apps and same launcher. MyPhone edges the competition with its rich number of pre-installed
wallpapers and live wallpapers. Finally, those who are interested in flashing
Custom Roms will find happiness and delight with the fact that Micromax A110
Roms work on the A919. (This is according to the TCP Users, check this thread,
do some reading for yourself.) It is worth reminding that using Cloudfone
Thrill 430x when it is not held is a pain.
Winner:
MyPhone A919
More flexibility more features, much better.
3.7 Battery
This is definitely
a No-Brainer. Cloudfone skyrockets itself away from the two with its amazing
battery life. I am yet to stress the phone but so far I am greatly impressed. The
doubt as to if any Rebrander could give a good battery life especially with
Android OS ends here!
Winner:
Cloudfone Thrill 430x
CONCLUSION
THE LIGHT IS STILL MY STRENGTH …
This maybe a douchy thing to say but the winner will be you! I am not
kidding as I am surely sure that any of the three is a bang for the buck. The choices
will always boil down to personal preference. I solved my problem by acquiring the
three phones. Budget Stricken? Go with the Titan! Want a big phone for great
for movies? Go with MyPhone! Want a phone that fits your hand? Go with
Cloudfone! Want a phone that lasts more than a day or two? Go with Cloudfone!
The questions are endless and I am only here to give you some advice. But if I was
to be asked, which I preferred of the three? I would say MyPhone A919. So for
now, FOR ME, MyPhone A919 is a two
time Rebrander Champion! YEHEEY!
AGAIN, THESE ARE
BASED ON MY PREFERENCE; I DON’T THINK ANY OF THE THREE IS A BAD CHOICE.
FOR A REBRANDED
PHONE, ALL OF THEM ARE GREAT!
NEXT UP CHERRY MOBILE SKYFIRE, OMEGA AND MYPHONE A888

ReplyDeletetitan is still d best!

DeleteSuperb review
ReplyDeleteAs for the display the viewing angles of cloudfone 430x is better than myphone. The display of myphone a919 is somewhat bluish white and the black pixels were bluish as well. As for the overall quality of the display the Cloudfone 430x is the clear winner...
ReplyDeleteI've also checked out the responsiveness of the screen of 430x as the app drawer button had issues in your review as it turned out, I've pressed it several times and it was responsive debunking the responsiveness myth.
I hope that there will be an unbias review to laid out the strenghts and weaknesses of each unit in each criteria just like in established review sites such as phonearena and engadget.
yea... 430x ftw.
Deleteproud owner here.
also regarding about the display, I think, Cloudfone is much better. Titan has a plain TFT LCD screen. A919 has an IPS Screen. 430x has ASV screen.

ReplyDeleteCloudfone is far superior than titan or myphone.... (as i personally witnessed stress testing of the the three phones in a mall in cubao)...
ReplyDeletewhen you run application simultaneously (camera, browser, photoviewer, gaming with speakers on, file manager scan/browsing, cloudfone's response is faser and smoother with very minimal and unnoticeable lag and freezing time...
and the camera battery and display (should be tested on dark, bright and dim enviro, plus light flare factors and multiple angle view)...plus factors all in one pack... CLOUDFONE is considered better for the lesser brand conscious users...
i am not tech-geek and my feedback is, with all honesty, based on my personal judgment and preferences.
