Cherry Mobile Thunder first impressions

Cherry Mobile’s latest affordable dual-SIM Android smartphone, the Cherry Mobile Thunder, was launched online a couple of days ago exclusively at Lazada. Now we go hands on to see what this device is capable of. Check out our first impressions after the break.

A lot may see the Cherry Mobile Thunder as an upgraded version of the Flare as it sports almost the same specs except for the larger display and bigger battery. But compared to the Flare, the Thunder looks more appealing thanks to its rectangular shape and smaller curves around the corners. Adding to the attractiveness of the device is the metallic bezel with a dark chrome finish.

Although affordable, the Thunder certainly doesn’t feel cheap. It has a solid build meaning there’s no sign of creakiness and packs a decent amount of heft. Personally, I like the feel of the Thunder and I enjoy holding it. However, the semi-glossy backplate is a fingerprint magnet and the camera design seems overdone for a 5 megapixel shooter.

The entire package costs Php4,999 and in return you’ll get the following specs:

Cherry Mobile Thunder specs:
4.5-inch FWVGA capacitive display (480 x 854 pixels)
1.0GHz dual-core processor
512MB RAM
4GB internal storage
microSD up to 32GB
3G/HSDPA
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
GPS
5 megapixel rear camera (no flash)
VGA front-facing camera
Li-Ion 1,800mAh battery
Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich

The Cherry Mobile Thunder can be bought exclusively from Lazada. See listing here.

Editor’s Note: We have an exclusive Cherry Mobile – Lazada deal for interested YugaTech readers. You can use this voucher GCV-Sa6R for a Php1,000 discount upon check-up (you can use it for any Cherry Mobile products listed in Lazada and valid until February 23). That means you can get the CM Thunder for only Php3,999 with this voucher.

Updated: Apologies for the confusion. Apparently, the voucher is just one-time use only so just one person can claim it. If you get an invalid notice, that means someone claimed the voucher already.

So, to whoever was the first one to use that voucher, lucky you!

    With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?

    My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being stolen? I’d genuinely appreciate
    it.

  8. Avatar for Crossx Crossx says:

    nakakatawa lang ung mga nagrereklamo sa voucher.. mga pre 1k lang yan para masira tiwala nyo sa yugatech.. pucha free na nga reviews eh tapos naglabas pa ng voucher tapos pag hindi na avail kung makapanghusga naman kayo na scam scheme ng lazada at yugatech ung voucher.. nagtry nq dati gumamit ng free voucher ng lazada and may notice naman agad pag invalid ung voucher.

    The problem lang po kase was the first Editors Note medyo umaasa ang mga readers. Even I umaasa kasi any CM product so pwede kang bumili ng worth 1.2k na phone tapos gamitin mo ang voucher edi 200 nalang babayaran mo. Sana lang verified lagi ang mga promotions before posting kasi ang daming readers ng yugatech

  12. Avatar for meh meh says:

    Junk, better to put another 5k with it and buy a used galaxy s2

  13. Avatar for boomboom boomboom says:

    Lame. Para sa 1k na voucher? I know 5k is still a considerable amount of money but please!! ang OA ng reaction ha. Kung wala, eh di wala. Paghirapan nyong bilhin at wag yung aasa sa discount na pwedeng tanggalin ng merchant anytime.

      Ang dapat na may voucher ay yung mga tipong 8X ng HTC hindi itong Cherry Tanders.

    Well kailan pa ba nagbigay ng voucher ang lazada na lahat ng users ay makaka avail. How stupid of me hahaha.

  21. Avatar for palakol palakol says:

    • Avatar for edsar edsar says:

      We are complaining about the voucher that was not working. Not the product it self magbasa po kase sayang ang MATA O_O

  22. Avatar for Luke Luke says:

    Voucher is invalid. If this is any sort of promotional scheme, its working. Seriously, is this real?

  23. Avatar for Abe Olandres Abe Olandres says:

    Apologies for the confusion. Apparently, the voucher is just one-time use only so just one person can use it.

    We’re coordinating with Lazada to get more vouchers by tomorrow.

    Saan ba ibabalik for replacement or repair kapag may issue yung unit? Sa Lazada or pwede sa any service center or outlet ng Cherry Mobile?
