The phenomenal success of Flare and Titan makes Cherry Mobile standout among other local brand distributors, giving them a good sign to invest more in affordable dual core phones and with that, CM released another sets of dual core phones, one is the Cherry Mobile Flame – a bigger version of Flare.
Cherry Mobile Flame is a 4.5 inch device with qHD capacitive touchscreen, resolution is 960×450. It comes with 5megapixel camera and powered by 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon S4 Processor coupled with Adreno 203 GPU. Some devices utilizing the same processor are: Huawei Ascend G330D, HTC Desire X, HTC Desire SV.

Cherry Mobile Flame Temple Run
If Cherry Mobile Blaze resembles the look of Samsung Galaxy S3, well, Cherry Mobile Flame relatively looks similar with HTC One X. =)
Flame runs on Android ICS with 512MB RAM, memory is a big issue with Android, though you can run multiple applications, you’ll experience lags when your available RAM reaches 100MB and below. On the other hand, composing messages, scrolling my FB and Twitter, and of course playing games is quite responsive. It also has a built in 4GB storage and for more space, you can just slap in a microSD card.
Another thing you’ll like about this phone is its dual-SIM, dual-standby feature. The first SIM slot handles 3G while you’re stuck with 2G on the second SIM though. I’ve been using both SIMs for sending SMS or calls and it’s very convenient. This phone uses 1800mAh battery which is gonna be an issue for heavy smartphone users because this may only last for one day as I observed these past couple of days.
