Cherry Mobile has an upcoming phone with 4GB RAM under PHP 5K!

Okay, budget phones keep on getting better and better. YouTuber Jack Catalig has recently uploaded an unboxing video of an upcoming entry-level smartphone from the local tech giant with promising design and specs under PHP 5K the Flare Y7 Pro.

Cherry Mobile Flare Y7 Pro

A killer budget phone?

Based on his video, the Cherry Mobile Flare Y7 Pro is equipped with a matte-like polycarbonate shell combined with aluminum titanium alloy injection.  Basically, its body is a powder mixture of metal and polymer.

In front, it uses a large enough 2.5D curved 5.7-inch HD+ panel with 19:9 TrueView tall aspect ratio, small teardrop notch, and pretty slim top and side bezels.

Under the hood, it runs with a 12nm 2.0GHz 64-bit Helio A22 quad-core processor paired with PowerVR GE8300 GPU. It is a speedy enough chip found on budget phones.

But unlike other sub-PHP 5K phones, Cherry Mobile Flare Y7 Pro is not packed with 2GB or 3GB RAM, instead, it has 4GB RAM inside. That's surprisingly HUGE for a budget device. 

Moreover, it is coupled with ample 32GB storage instead of just 16GB versus other entry-level phones. It is even expandable via microSD up to 128GB.

The battery is rated at 3,000mAh with some sort of quick charge tech.

Dual-cam

On the camera part, it features a dual-camera setup, the 16MP Sony IMX298 primary sensor + 2MP GC2375 depth sensor. For selfies, there's a 16MP Samsung S5K3P3 sensor with face unlock tech.

Side-mounted fingerprint scanner

It comes with a side-mounted fingerprint reader, AW8898 audio amplifier, gyroscope sensor, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and hybrid dual SIM slots.
