Cherry Mobile Superion to spoil Galaxy Tab

Parehas maganda ang samsung tablet and Galaxy Tab
at mas lalong maganda ang samsung galaxy note!Kaya lang may problem sa wifi d magmatch ang wifi sa bahay para sa ipad keysa sa nabilhan ko sa robinson manila!

Try nyo na lang ung ZTE V9 lite. It has a higher processor than SUP at nasa 12+++.00 lang ang price.

maganda po ba yung quality? responsive po ba yung touchscreen? and pwede na po ba ipa upgrade kung sakali yung SUP sa android3.0 honeycomb?

i guess if some here would back read..it was already stated that flash player only runs on 1gig processors that is why there have been inquiries on skyfire browser which can view flash movies on a website in a seperate window. Superion with its price still rocks.(IMHO)

Hi everybody, anyone interested with a very slightly used superion? I’m selling mine for only 17k. My unit (complete set including box) is still fresh, not yet rooted, and has lots of apps installed. Includes the following: original freebies when i bought it – 4gb micro sd, cherry mobile bluetooth headset, superion hard case, and cherry mobile swiss knife, i’ll also include a brand new mini 11n wireless usb adapter for your wireless needs, a jabra bluetooth headset, a soft case, and a microtex cleaning cloth for fingerprints removal. If interested pls email me at hunc****@****.*** for more info. I’m available for meet-ups during weekends only at megamall or moa or festival mall in alabang.

Galaxy tab or Ipad,This cherry mobile superion is definitely good, the reason we are here is finding a phone that suits our needs when it comes to functionality and a reasonable price on the market. the bottom line here is most of us is finding a product that is cheaper and meeting all the features on the way we want to use them. every individual has his own unique way of how we use them.

@rey sayang nakabuy na me today sa southmall. eto kinakalikot na. jejeje. how do i download skype and angry birds?
thanks

mga katoto sa SUP post kau kapag naFLASH nyo yung SUP nyo sa ibang mod na ROM hah kc want ko din itry! astig ng tabletphone noh hehehe yun lng wala 3d accelerator

@rey
thanks for the headsup re rooting feedback. can you tell how much percent does your sup perform better after you root it?i bricked my router just recently so takot pa ako magflash ng any device.. hehe

also when it comes to b uild quality of the SUP…i guess so far i have not seen a complain on their SUP that it got broken easily.i guess cguro dumaan din sa quality control mga SUP kasi its also the same device lke the commtiva, camangi as well as Viewsonics Viewpads. iba ibang name lang per country. so sa mga gusto mag invest sa SUP its well worth your hard earned cash…though sa mga gadget enthusiast talaga…mejo nakakasawa kaagad :-)..dati sabi ko IPhone lang im ok na,got an iphone then sabi ko IPAD para mas malaki screen better viewing space..purchased an IPaD, then sobra laki di ko ma ibulsa lets try SUP…then its perfect..ofc,internet,email,games, cell phone all in 1 and can fit the pocket…but now its still too big…im contmplating on gettin a 5incher like a dell streak or perhaps the new samsung nexus S. Haay, gadgets and boys…toys we cant live with out.

I found this guide on rooting the viewpad 7.

http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=10742.0

based on experience with my Cherry Mobile unit, sira na agad on the first instance na mag charge. the USB terminal is confused kung headset o charger ba ang nakapasok. it took the service center 1 month to replace motherboard.(bago unit pero papalaitan na agad motherboard, na QC kaya ang units ng Cherry Mobile?) after a day, balik ang dating sira nya. paala-ala lang to do your research before spending your money on china made items na hindi dumadaan sa quality control.

Has anybody here rooted their superion already? I’m thinking of rooting my unit to get apps2sd. I always get the low memory warning.

yes!!!GINGER BREAD…hmmm will it run on our SUP baka namimili ng processor yan hehe, Sir xian pls update us, tnxvm

as per compass, pag cnacalibrate ko naman after some tossing and turning lumalabas naman you have succesfully calibrated…., as per flash support try downloading skyfire browser. it does not support flash but if the site your visiting have flash movie it will notify you and you can open the flash movie in another window..this is true not only with youtube vidz but even for othe websites with small flash movies…though i tried other “atintube” vid sites :-), yun ayaw ma detect…cguro pang legit web sites lang hehe. just be sure to empty the cache every now and then as it accumulates in your internal mem.

@vidgen13
theres no flash support. buy galaxy tab if you want flash

guys, have you able to calibrate your ecompass in your sup? it never work for me.. :(

i was able to buy sa cherry mobile store sa sm southmall las pinas. marami sila stock. don’t bother buying sa stall sa festival mall ng cherry mobile..mandaraya ang staffs ng cherry doon..at first sabi nung saleslady 2 bago kadarating lang pero nung bibili na ako nagbulungan sila nung lalake na staff. sabi isa na lang daw bago naman daw un. pero upon checking may ding and stratch na unit..but still pilit pa dn sabi nila bago un. den i checked un sms..may mga message na nung nov 29 pa. den umamin un guy na demo unit un. but i think returned units binebenta nila. sa iba na lang kayo bumili..un staffs sa sm southmall ok kausap. so far happy ako sa superion..pag wala ako sa wifi zone pwede pa dn internet using my globe sim

@rey anong contact no. or website ng celway?

@rey
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, all the while, its very tempting to take a look underneath the back cover but I don’t have any idea how to open it. lol.
I’d also tried to look if there’s an olive pad/ viewpad 7/ DroidPad/ repair manual but haven’t found any yet. Say, how often do you charge your tab? I don’t allow the battery to be less than 40% so I charged it more frequently.

hi guys! fellow superion user here. so far im satisfied with the tab but one thing that worries me is the overall battery life. I like to know if cherry is good with support once we need to replace it. though this issue is common for all tabs..

Rey, dont you find your superion hard to charge? It takes quite a long time for my gadget to be fully charged..

Purchased the superion and placed it with a 16gb micro sd. It is really true that some of the apps will reside with the internal mem.. I can say overall that this is a “good buy” gadget. Thanks Rey for answering my queries.

sir if thats the one bundled with the unit perhaps its really the card. it will still work with other device naman. Try replacing it with other card, a 16gb card at cdr is only 1300…more music more video though you have to be choosy with your apps and games kasi there are apps na resides and installs in your internal mem than the SD and even app2sd cant transfer them result you will be down to your last 40mbs with just a dozen of good apps :-( not SUP problem but the OS itself(from what i read in some forums)

havent tried 32gig yet, kasi wala pa avlble sa cdr king :-). pero as of now havent even filled my 16gb yet, not even 25%. unlike sa ipad ive already deleted most movies its down to 3g from 32gb. Parang mas madali magdownload ng movies dun but BEST Tube app sa Sup is doing ok. Using Navigation in the Superion is great. Last nigh it helped me weaved in and out of traffic.

guys while cleaning the superion(took it out of the binder) i noticed that there are some gaps in the back pannel, something like tabs you can pry open. i had the superion for almost a month now and no problem with it. i blv superion got good quality and durability, im saying this since i almost always put my new gadgets to a test trying to find out its limits. Any way the tabs at the back are so tempting and since i blv this gadgets already for keeps(passed its 7 day replacement warranty) i doing my best no to open the back but knowing resistance is futile i might, 1 of this days, open the back and have a look. im hoping to see if the batteries are replaceable and if there are same size batteries out there but with high amp to increase the 5-6hours life of the unit. Though higher amp could also mean hotter gadget and longer charging hours. ill post pics once i gave in to the temptation :-)

@rey
did your superion come with bluetooth headset and 4gb micro sd card? cherry mobile sm southmall bundles them with the superion.

got my samsung galaxy tab for 34,590 the 15k difference is well woth the money

pros
Faster Processor
dedicated GPU
16gb builtin
better resolution
better battery life
better warranty as i have a friend who has seen how crappy cm gives warranty :)
Flash support
better build
made in korea :)
and better firmware support currently there are dozens of roms from different samsung builds that can be flashed thru odin

as far as superion user goes i don’t think you’ll get firmware update anymore because they’ll probably just introduce a new model by then or if lucky enough maybe someone will introduce cfw support :)

still waiting for CFW for the tab maybe someone can do a cyanogen or muiu cfw for tab that would be awesome :)

thank you @rey

saang mga mall merong chery stores where i can buy superior? or kahit saang store na “legit” to buy this product? thank you.

May isa pa akong nalaman about sa unit na ito. WiFi hotspot is still working kahit wala kang load. I can connect and browse to my friend’s superion tablet phone wifi kahit zero balance ang load nya and He can connect to his own network as well. Saya naman ng phone na ito. May wifi phone ka na may sarili ka pang wifi hotspot.

Do you think that this gadget is durable? Knowing that cherry mobile has a reputation of having mobile phones easy to break down.

superion so far is doing a good job here. Not missing my ipad. ultimate portability wins over screen size. 7inch is ok, its like bringing ur laptop inside your pocket(i have a big pocket hehe). Sir you can disable the screen swipe option sa keyboard option to avoid accidentalkeyboard changes. Unlike the iphone4 sides which are stainless Superion got aluminum like sides(dont know its plastic or aluminum)thus very prone to scratches. The first thong that need to go are the screen protector, it makes the gadget dirty and cheap loooking though one tip here make sure you clean the screen thoroughly before installing a new screen protector as it will affect the touch screens behavior. So far for the past 2weeks aside from some few lags and slowdowns(due to multi tasking) im quite satisfied with my pocket pc.
Galaxy tab now available in some stores but at almost 3800 for 12months
0 interest the price is too stiff, much higher than the ipad when it became availble in greenhills. Though its thinner than the superion and at 1gig speed siguro sa malaki ang bonus at 13th month baka pwede subukan :-)

My friend bought this Superion Last Nov. 15. Awesome. Android 2.2 Froyo. Mas nagenjoy ako ibrowse kesa sa iphone ko.. :-(
Nainggit din officemate ko na naka HTC wildfire.
specs are good. Screen is very responsive. Super namaximize ang features lalo na nung nagsubscribe cya sa Supersurf 1200. accessible lahat ng website esp. Android Market.

Already had this my superion for almost a month now. So far so good.

Its a good for light browsing. Browsing, blogging, and chatting on 7 inches is definitely better than squinting or continously scrolling on a 3 to 4 inch screen. This model does not support flash (does not meet flash 10.1 ‘s minimum requirements).

The dual cameras are a mixed bag. No flash. 3mp at the back and vga front. The free case does not have a hole for the back camera. Takes nice pics in good lighting conditions. Video chatting Is possible via apps (Tango, YM etc.) No video call option from the phone dialer.

Gaming on the superion is quite good. 2D and simple 3d games can can run. It can play angry birds and NFS shift without any much problem. Higher end games like assasins creed and asphalt 5 are slow.

Its quite awkward to use as a phone outside because you have to hold the thing right next to your ear if you want to hear anything in open air (you can use a headset tho). This is not replacing my regular cellphone for calling on the go.

@cloud_chaser
i bought mine in one of the stalls selling mobile phones near co-green…
im actually planning to buy archos 70 for its 17k price tag but as on my inquiries with them, first week pa raw ng dec sila magkakaroon and as i read in reviews the built quality is not that superior naman..

would i recommend it? if your considering not just the brand (ehem apple) but for the its features versus the price tag, id definitely recommend this ;)

id even post this from my superion while listening to mp3, 2 browser windows open, chat app running and its works like a charm

okay for my lil complaints nman, the qwerty mode accidentally switching to other mode still nagging me, sanayan lang siguro sa tap texting and the battery is just 6 hours when in continious usage

Guys, got one yesterday from Festival Mall Alabang :) – not from cherry coz they are not accepting CC and for order basis sila.

After using after it for 5 hours, these are my initial thought and observation.

1. The hardware seems solid to hold, there are very little creaks while holding it on the side but it doesn’t make you bother naman. Take care nalang dun sa side kasi parang matatangal ung silver na coat pag matagal na ginagamit. (very prone to scratches)

The screen capacitive touch works nicely, though medyo nag-hahang if marami kang running na apps and when theres major app running like loading of a webpage (eg facebook – suggestion, downloading facebook app for galaxy tab do the trick).

2. texting wise, medyo nakaka-asar lang na nagagalaw lagi yung ‘qwerty’ mode to something-else mode when typing something so kailangan ko ulit ibalik sa qwerty mode… madalis ko rin napipindot ung dictionary on but this is an adroid issue naman.

3. phone call experience is okay, na try ko loud speaker, great siya gamitin.

4. the weight is somehow heavy for me, nakaka-ngalay din when holding it in a long time (like ebook reading).

5. there’s an optional wallpaper naman na pamalit sa cherry wallpaper na naka-default. hehe (panget wallpaper nila)

6. install launcher pro adk to view the dashboard and the menu’s vertically. (may maganda pa nga ung launcher pro kaysa sa launcher na nka default)

7. I learned that never install app-killer, (wala rin naman nagbabago sa running apps). just trust android when it comes to memory management.

8. browsing experience is quite okay naman, minsan matagal magload ung buong page. (7 to 15 sec)

yung lang muna for now, kakalikutin ko pa, i will post again for updates

Hey Rey! Thanks for the info bro. Hopefully I can get one this Xmas…if not maybe next year jehjehjeh.

Can I do Microsoft Office with it? I usually do spreadsheets and documents.

Nice meron pala sm north, atleast i can pay via C.C. Sayang ang points :-). Hmmm i wish may 12months hehe, pushing my luck here. Pls wag sana ako ma temp later or else…..ka-ching! :-)

Saw the superion at Cherry store in SM North and also in SM Manila. Still need to save up

i heard the samsung galaxy tab sells for 200 to 300 usd is this true?

walang masa kung bibili ka ng mura kung satisfied ka naman diba? di lahat ng mura low quality, wag mag-generalize…

bakit ang nokia at samsung nagrerelease din ng mga murang cellphones (C3 na 6k w/ wifi, Nokia N8 na 23k – very high-end, samsung champ na 4k na touchscreen)? kasi they admit na ang trend ngaun sa market is pamurahan ng products. ang Cherry Mobile, Torque ang My|Phone, isama pa natn ang mga chinaphones is killing their market kaya naglalabas sila ng murang phones para makacompete.

To those interested, I saw Cherry Mobile retailers in Robinson’s Place Manila selling the Superion already.

http://www.techpinas.com/2010/10/samsung-galaxy-tab-vs-cherry-mobile.html

comparison nila with the Galaxy Tab. Lamang ang galaxy tab sa specs but for 15k less pwede na talaga superion!

It’s the same as a viewsonic viewpad 7 (or other iterations). And so far some reviews online give it a thumbs up for hardware. I’m not a fan of cherry mobile, but this one’s a breath of fresh air.

Hehe I just wish cherry mobile didn’t name their company after that fruit. (It could be worse though, strawberry mobile perhaps? Or starApple…) Or better yet, I wish you could buy this OEM per piece, with absolutely no branding. Then etch your name on it.

I’ve been looking around all cherry mobile stores but I still couldn’t find one tablet phone. Please advise…

PUTANG INA MO NYO YIH AND ISLACOM!

ALAM NYO BA NA ANG MGA CHIPS NA GINAGAMIT SA MGA CELLPHONES E GAWA SA PILIPINAS?

PARANG ANG YAYABANG NG DATING NYO! ANONG CELLPHONE ANG GUSTO NYONG BILHIN? APPLE IPHONE? E DI BA GAWANG CHINA DIN YAN?

Again a lot of idiots here:

@sam yg why would you want to load a shitty OS like winmo 7?
@Doodles the 32Gb iPad is not 3G, no comparison
@Jiro Yan Cheap?Bakit , mayaman ka?Why hang around these forums if mayaman ka

Yung maka samsung , bakit ano ba ng samsung nung araw? Cheap and shoddy appliances rin.

Cherry Mobile, My Phone and torque have done a lot to liberate filipinos from the expensive crap like nokia, samsung, Sony Ericsson and the like. The least we can do is support them and give the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism so they can improve their products.

Update:

I took the time to check the Viewsonic Viewpad 7, said to be that these 2 devices are on and the same. Specifications, they are exactly the same, been searching the web for a possible information about the battery life. How long will the battery life for calling, video playing, etc., but to no avail.

So I called up the Cherry Mobile Office(567-1342), I inquired, according to the agent I spoked with, 5-6hours talk time 2G network, 3G network maybe around 4hours, the video playing around 4hours(around maybe 2 movies) still depending on the brightness and volume. if you are planning to buy this device, and you are a power user, this might not be a great device for you.

Samsung Galaxy Tab is already marked at 7hours battery life. It doesn’t beat the Apple iPad endurance but you get a phone functionality with the Galaxy Tab.

You can’t blame Cherry Mobile for wanting to join the tablet frenzy.

And another thing, the agent I spoked with said that the viewsonic viewpad 7 and CM Superion are 2 different products, although if you check it out all of the details of these 2 device are exactly the same. Plus as we know Cherry comes from China so even if they don’t want to say where the CM superion or their other cellphones are made, your guess will aleays be as good as mine, CHINA.

Maybe the Viewsonic Viewpad 7 and the Cherry Mobile Superion are not the same, that only means that one of them is a KIRF.

Can we use this device like a regular cellphone?

Their Cherry Mobile Magnum HD is much more powerful than this. a beast of a phone that sports a 1GHz processor and a 4.1-inch WVGA (480 x 800-pixel) capacitive touch screen and goes for a reasonable price of P18,990.

If by chance you visit Singapore, you can get a 32gb ipad for P27k with a bonus ipad case.

the specs and price are interesting, but what about build quality, stability and service?

guys techpinas.com meron video nito p*%*

@Ugali and Opium Opinion

well the 23k ipad might be the 16GB wifi version, this has the bells and whistles of the galaxy tab minus the processor.

sana lang hindi cheap ang build quality nito.. kasi may promise siya e.. Although I can imagine the same with the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Hindi ko type yung feel ng Galaxy S e, plasticky, parang Samsung Jet.

want!

Would the processor limit the usability of the unit when it comes to 3D games and other related apps? I’ve heard that the HTC Wildfire could not play a lot of 3D games for Android…

this is interesting.. altough the 600mhz might be a downer for some but tests ran using the froyo build shows improvement in all areas so this might be a good thing.

we must not forget that this will support FLASH!

anyway this is an interesting entry for the tablet sector. Cherry should partner up with a carrier to further subsidize the price. Sun should get this, para mas maraming units ang mabenta.

The only caveat ata dito is the build quality.. but for the price maybe ok na rin.

its advertised on major papers right now :)

if there is one thing I’ve learned about processors it is that clock speed is nothing,.. what if its 600MHz? the firmware Froyo can handle it very nicely. Android is not like Windows that needs a lot of CPU to run fast.. check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megahertz_myth and this one too: http://www.computer-hardware-explained.com/megahertz-myth.html
This is just like the camera/megapixel myth. Personally, I’m excited about this.. :)

If the screen is resistive then it won’t be for me.

guys, may i emphasize that this tablet also has phone capabilities.

Yes, it is almost 20,000 Pesos. But you could buy an iPad at HK for 23,000 Pesos. I’ll rather choose an Apple though it lacks most of the features of this android tablet rather than buy some China Quality Gadget.

san kaya maka try ng demo unit nito? is it out in the market?

Nice one Yuga!

Does it handle multi-touch, like pinch zoom?

wala pa ba ang my phone and torque….heheheheh

will wait for the review :)

Mas mababa ang specs nito kesa sa Galaxy Tab…
Processor 600Mhz vs 1Ghz ng Galaxy Tab
Resolution 480 X 800 vs 1024 X 600 ng Galaxy Tab
And of course the Samsung Brand

Can we install Windows 7 on this tablet?
