Just yesterday, Firefly Mobile announced its newest Android smartphone with a premium build dubbed as Aurii Envy. It does resemble the Xperia Z in design, and that should be fine for those who are looking for a quality handset without breaking the bank. But, how does it fare on paper with the recently announced Flash Plus 2? There about the same in pricing and specs, so let’s get on with this.

you forgot to add fast charging on Flash Plus 2
CrisD says:
both are fast charging
JVA says:
Is the camera on the Firefly noticeably better than that on the Flash Plus 2?
Ronald says:
Much better if they will have camera shots poll just like they do on other brands.
CrisD says:
yes, significantly better. if you’re a selfie person, you can even use the envy’s rear cam since the back is like a mirror :)
William Co says:
Actually the price is similar at 6999 if you opt for the 2GB version of the Aurii. The 3GB version is 7999 while the Flash Plus 2’s own 3GB will be priced at 8499.
Ronald says:
Close specs talaga. preference na lang ang gagawin sa pagpili. sayang walang gorilla glass ang Flash Plus 2
Lex Bryner Narciso says:

Corrections….
Envy:
Gorilla Glass 3
Sony Exmor RS sensor
FP2
Front-facing LED flash (Envy also has)
Faster Wi-Fi (specs in article are wrong: http://www.flash3c.com/flash-plus-2/tech-specs/)
also, even if FP2 had abgn wifi, it’s not faster because it has a. AC is faster, a is just 1999 tech and is pre-n
And the price, why is the 2/16GB FP2 version being compared to the 3/32GB version of the Envy?
Who’s editing this stuff? Come on Yuga, add effort!
JAMES says:
Nice thoughts. Not much time for checking, I guess.

Don’t you mean “they’re” instead of “there”? Talk about grammar. Phew!
