If you’re still recuperating from your holiday expenses (I think we all are) but in a hunt for an Android handset with a sizeable screen, then Cherry Mobile’s new 5.2-inch handset may just fit the bill. Catch the pricing and official specs after the break.
The Omega has been in CM’s pipeline for several months already, but it’s only recently that the local handset company has added the behemoth smartphone to their portfolio.
As you can see in the image above, the Omega is being retailed for Php6,699USD 114INR 9,677EUR 109CNY 831. Its spec sheet is what you’d typically expect from a smartphone at this price point – 1GHz dual-core processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal memory and pair of snappers (5MP main, VGA secondary). Besides the screen size, however, another note-worthy feature of the Omega is its 2300mAh which should give you decent mileage.
Cherry Mobile Omega specs:
5.2-inch WVGA display, @179ppi
Mediatek MT6577 1.0GHz dual-core processor
512MB RAM
4GB Internal Memory
Expandable up to 32GB via Micro-SD

The Cherry Mobile Omega will be available in two color variants: Black and White. There’s also talks about releasing an HD version (Omega HD) of this handset, but details about it at the time of writing is still scarce. We’ll update you guys as soon as we receive a word about it.

and for making me wait all this.. i’ll just say…
DIE..DIE..DIE..CM OMEGA!!!
Kenny Perez says:
Dual core with only 512MB. What’s gonna happen to that phone?
pcso says:
dual core nga pero 512 lang ram na over power nag ram pwede bang i upgrade memory nito? dapat nga single core lang nilagay dito pero ok na rin mura naman
C says:
Reports of the specs are currently conflicting: some say it’s 1 gig of RAM and an 8 MP shooter at the back. Can someone confirm the real specs?
poche says:
from what i know jellybean needs at least 1gb ram so its possible.
Edwin C says:
Lokal kasi iyan kaya di desirable.

vicrodriguez says:
kala ko pa nmn 1gbram..meron ba smartphone ngaun sub10k na my 1gb ram
timtam says:
meron, kata i1… 4.5 qhd, 8mp, ics for 8.5k… owltel shops
sergeant232 says:
naku naman akala ko 1gb na ang RAM nyan..parepareho lang.
ngeengar says:
nakatawa… asa ng asa ang mga tao tapos taeng specs lumabas, lols epic fail CM! bravo!
darren philip mozo says:
they said that is rebranded zoppo. and it has 2 versions, the Lite and Full.
the Lite is wat CM released today. it has only 512RAM.. but the Full Zoppo (something) has 1gb RAM & 8 MP cam and jellybean. :)
moymoy says:
anong zopo ka mo… ang iba kaya itsura ng zopo. chismis lahat specs, kaya ito lumabas, parang abno na higante, lols.
Acalia says:
LOL. Sige asa lang. Basta maipilit na 1G RAM, papaniwalaan kahit ano. Face it, epic fail ang CM ngayon.
William C says:
epic fail ang CM Omega. After all the hype… OK na sana iyung Specs kung 1GB lang. They should have opted for 1GB maski mas mahal nila ibenta like (7,299) may bibili. After all, they already have a lot of devices at the 6k+ range (Skyfire, Flame, Blaze).
But with those specs. It’s disappointing. Hintay na lang ako sa next MyPhone. If MyPhone rebrand the latest Micromax, maski 11k, may bibnili…
Omega… Last place nga…
mrdiaz says:
Oo hanggang hintay ka lang naman talaga. Wala ka kasing pambili hahaha
jp says:
What a disappointment sa mga nag-antay sa phone na ito tapos 512MB lang ang RAM. Sayang ang pagka dual-core with 5.2 inch screen. Kahit nga sana tinaasan na lang ang price ng konti, marami pa rin ang bibili. Sayang, nabawasan tuloy ang market nito.
Smokescreen says:
Is the screen at least IPS? This is a big letdown nga. After all the hype and wait. Kaya nga dapat even early on, CM should have at least released specs of their fones. Parang kulang sa planning and preparation.
Ang dating CM do not know their products. They do not know what is coming out. They do not know when it is being released. Parang biglaan na lang ibabagsak sa table yun cell fones and dun na lang nila malalaman on the spot.
chacha says:
buti pa ang Starmobile Crystal, balanced specs.
hmmn… sino kaya ang babasag sa 1gig ram waiting
ngayong taon?
eric says:
cge huwag kayo bumili ng omega..para nag-iisa lang ako may omega..hahaha!!
meh says:

George Jimenez says:
How i wish that Cherry Mobile address their shortcomings before launching more products in the market. I bought a Flare last December at a mall in Taytay and later found out that it’s defective. I tried to have it replaced since it’s a factory defect and it’s less than 7 days from the date of purchase. Unfortunately, they don’t have a replacement so they took my number and told me that they’re going to contact me. Waited for almost 2 months now and sometimes visit their store, no replacement yet. This is how bad my experience with Cherry Mobile, their after sale support is very poor. I hope that this won’t happen to all of us who bought their product. To CM, if you’re interested on replacing my defective Flare, please contact me via email at gijimen****@****.***.
Smokescreen says:
Also I’m sure CM is aware of the rumored specs flying around that the Omega has an 8MP camera and a 1GB RAM. It’s even posted in their facebook account which they are very active.
For the life of me why don”t they debunk those rumors and nip them in the bud. But no they choose to be quiet…… unless they themselves don’t know their product.
deonesia pakyaw says:
akala nila taga myphone sila hahahahaha
deonesia pakyaw says:
natanga tayo sa naunang lumabas na specs ng omega, kailangan nyo ng omega pain killer hahahaha
nozradia says:
So so disappointing!!! We’ve waited for too long then what they’ve got? Junk!!!
Dindo says:
Weee…? inggit ka lang.
jayr says:
Better wait for the upcoming 5″ phones from Myphone and Starmobile, both are planning to bring in 5″ HD phones, 1GB RAM, 12MP, 2100 battery.
1. Starmobile 5″HD, dualcore, (oem: i-mobile IQ6)
2. Myphone 5″HD , quadcore(oem:micromax a116)
jp says:
Tried this phone and it has one advantage, camera focuses and takes picture faster than previous models. Probably because of JB. Recently they just announced that JB update for CM Blaze.
And also you can find 1GB Ram on their new model CM Titan TV, 6inch, 8mp cam, ICS (probably update to JB).
