Cherry Mobile Cruize, 5.2-inch goodness for Php4,499

Everyone is jumping in the 5-inch phone bandwagon and Cherry Mobile won’t let itself be outpaced by the others with their new device, the Cherry Mobile Cruize.

CM Cruize

The main highlight of the phone is the 5.2-inch WVGA display powered by a juicy 2,500mAh battery. It features dual SIM standby, a 1GHz CPU, a 5 megapixel camera and all the other good stuff.

Cherry Mobile Cruize specs:
5.2″ WVGA display @ 480 x 800 (179 ppi)
1GHz single-core processor
Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4)
512MB RAM
4GB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD card
3G/HSDPA
Dual SIM, dual-standby
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
GPS with A-GPS Support
5MP autofocus camera with LED flash (720p HD video)
VGA front-facing camera
Li-Ion 2,500mAh battery
ANdorid 4.0 ICS

We’re pretty excited to see how well this performs especially with the large battery, the big screen and the low processing power, not to mention the affordable price tag at Php4,499.

very bad 179 ppi. This screen is not sharp and crisp unlike others.

Single core chip.
179 ppi density capacitive touch display

I don’t care if this costs *only* 4,499PHP, but the Titan is a much(!) better buy than this one (If you can find one.)

If they double the price but put in a Dual-Core Processor and at least a 230 ppi screen, then I would still want to buy it …

And I thought they wouldn’t be able to top the Flare…

Anyway, I have to say, all these comments on PPI are just plain stupid… What’re you going to do with the resolution? Admire the icons the whole frickin day? I can’t believe people can actually complain when this ONLY costs 4.5k! Placing a higher resolution screen would only make the little SoC on this thing work harder, pointless practice, and wrong audience.

it would be a better phone with a dual core CPU and an 8MP cam :((

i am really curious how the display would look like with a 400X800 pixel and 179ppi in a 5.0″ screen. i guess it would be pixelated like Lg L3.

iPad Mini = 162 ppi
iPad 2 = 132 ppi
iPhone 3GS = 165 ppi
Nokia 808 Pureview = 184
Samsung Galaxy Grand = 187 ppi

Why complain about the ppi when this costs just a little over 4k?

I don’t mind the screen resolution. I would have wanted a dual core though.

I can’t imagine how big this phone/ phablet/ tabphone is. Imagine, the 5.2″ size is only the diagonal size of the screen itself only. Look at the sample picture of the phone; you can still see a chunk of space at the top and bottom of the phone. Hahahaha I’m not criticizing it I’m just amazed by it’s size hahaha
