Aside from the Cherry Mobile Flare 2.0, I was also loaned a unit of the Cherry Mobile Apollo. I guess they have forgiven me for posting the leaked photos which I took during the Cherry Mobile Flare 2.0 event. 🙂
Here’s a quick rundown on the specs:
OS: Android 4.2 (Jellybean)
Processor: 1.2 GHz MTK MT6589 Quad-Core processor
Display: 4.5” HD IPS Display
Wireless Connections: 3G/HSDPA, WiFi , Bluetooth 4., WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS
Memory: 4GB Internal Storage, MicroSD up to 32GB, 1GB RAM
Camera: 12.0 Megapixels with BSI and Dual-LED flash (Main), 5.0 Megapixels with BSI (Secondary)
Battery: 1,800 mAh
THE UNBOXING
Nothing much to see after unboxing the Apollo, just the usual battery, headphones, USB cable and charger head. The headphones supplied are the in-ear type which adds more to the already great value of the smartphone.
Nice screen cover which reminds the new owner of the Apollo’s specs. I was told that we will see more of these on new high-end smartphones and other feature phones.
This is the Apollo’s 12 Megapixel camera with BSI sensor. BSI means Back Side-Illuminated Sensor and it allows more light to be collected, improving photos during low-light conditions.
Here are a few more pics of the Apollo:
I took a photo with the Apollo and my first impression with its camera – it’s the real deal! This might be a good companion to take photos while I’m on the go.
I will be posting a review of this soon, probably after I’m done with the Flare 2.0. Meanwhile, follow me on Twitter @dronthego and on Instagram (reggieramos) where I will post some photos using the Apollo.

Maganda naman ang specs. Lalo na ang cam. the problem is the battery. Mabilis malobat kahit na 2000mAh pa. Dahil ba sa quad core ang unit? pls enlighten me
