Full design of the phone

On paper, the device looks good for the price. The Cherry Mobile Aqua X features a glass-like back design in Red or Blue color, and a 6.26-inch LCD (IPS) screen with HD 1600 x 720 resolution and a notch housing the 8MP Sony IMX219 selfie camera.

Under the hood, the chip it is using is the dated 2.0GHz 16nm MediaTek Helio P23 octa-core processor with Mali-G71 MP2 GPU. But, this chip is faster than most quad-core solutions you will find at this price point.

Cherry Mobile paired it with 3GB RAM, 32GB expandable storage, and a 3,500mAh battery with 10W charging.

The phone also has a 700MHz Band 28-ready 4G LTE support.
