Cherry Mobile Flare Y7 LTE comes with glass back and tiny notch for less

Cherry Mobile recently released the 4G LTE ready sibling of the Flare Y7. Unsurprisingly, it is dubbed as "Flare Y7 LTE".

Tiny notch

Budget phone with glass back, tiny notch, and 700MHz 4G LTE

First off, Cherry Mobile Flare Y7 LTE features a stylish glass back and a 6.2-inch display with HD+ 1520 x 720 resolution at 271 ppi. The good thing about it is it goes with a tall 19:9 screen aspect ratio, slim side and top bezels, and a tiny dewdrop-like notch. Its chin bezel is a bit thick, but that's understandable for a budget phone.

Glass back

Under the hood, it runs with 64-bit MT6739WW quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz paired with PowerVR GE8100 GPU.

Since it is an Android 8.1 (Go edition) device, the RAM is just at 1GB. The storage is a bit small at 8GB as well. Fortunately, it is expandable with a microSD card up to 32GB.

The phone's battery capacity is a bit small at 2,800mAh. It also comes with a 13MP main cam with AF and a 5MP selfie cam.

As expected, it features WiFi b/g/n, 700MHz 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and dual SIM slots.
