The Excite Prime is equipped with a 5.5-inch HD IPS display which equates to 267ppi which is still decent for a screen of this size. It’s bright with accurate colors and good viewing angles as well which makes it a good device for viewing photos and watching videos.
Speaking of videos, it comes with a ClearMotion feature that makes your videos more fluid and lifelike as it simulates higher framerates.
As for speaker quality, it’s very audible but is very trebly and doesn’t offer much in terms of bass. That being said, it should suffice for calls or casual listening but if you want better quality, you might want to stick to your headphones (as the Spotify Earphones included in the package sucks) or external speaker.
Running the software department is Android 5.1 Lollipop with stock UI. It’s not an issue if you like to personalize as you can just download a good launcher at the Play Store.
Pre-installed apps are kept to a minimum which is good. It only has TouchPal Keyboard, Cloudfone Care, Clean Master, and the usual Google Apps. Only Clean Master can be uninstalled though.
Storage-wise, it starts at 16GB with 10.82GB of usable storage out of the box. It’s limited but it’s better than the 8GB starting point in other budget smartphones. To compensate, it supports microSD cards with up to 32GB capacity as well as USB OTG.
Cloudfone equipped the Excite Prime with a 13 megapixel AF rear camera and 5 megapixel front. The front camera has a wide-angle lens with built in Beautify and Wide Selfie feature. Image quality is decent and is good enough to post on your favorite social networking sites. As for the rear camera, image quality is quite nice — sharp with good colors and contrast. The only con we see here is the slow auto-focus even in bright conditions. See samples below.
As for its video recording prowess, it can shoot videos at up to 1080p resolution at 30fps in 3GP format. Quality is good as well but you will notice that it’s a bit jittery as the camera keeps on refocusing. Watch sample below.

how is the warranty service of cloudfone?
Chris Lim says:
Cloudfone was my first android phone for I was an iphone user before. actually matibay ang cloudfone compared sa cm and mp. I still have my cloudfone excite 500q for over 2 years now and still works perfectly though cracked na ung screen. In terms of warranty, don’t expect too much from them but to tell you honestly, bihira may magpagawa ng cloudfone coz it has a good quality. I have a friend that works with memoexpress and he was the one who promoted this brand to me and even explained the reason globe partnered with cloudfone is because of the quality of their product compared to other local brands. ang downside lng talaga is walang accesories to sa market.

kuya pwede po b pang games to cloudefone
Albert says:
a video review would be most helpful….
BTOOOM says:
Yan sana bilhin ko kaso wala ko makita ng myphone 32L na lang ko pang back up phone
Chris Lim says:
Sir Louie wala ba talagang screen protection to like Gorilla Glass or Dragontrail man lang? I can live without LTE but not woithout screen protection.
Also, would you rather have the Excite Prime than the Cloudfone Limited Edition? Thanks!
ed says:
own this unit since feb 09… this is really a bang for the buck fone. great price to specs ratio and great performance. couldn’t ask for anything more… just hope it’ll last just like my 2yo myphone agua rio :)
Easy E says:
Bili na!
morph says:
Fake ung ROM nya 16gb dapat Pedro nakalagay 10+gb lang
lol says:
actually.. u would not get all 16 gb.. kc.. may pre installed apps.. system application and such..
MayAmatsTo says:
sa tingin mo hindi kakain ng memory ang system at data?
Berylle says:
Android Lollipop usually takes 4gb of space, +pre installed apps so 10gb is already a good amount. Some phones actually leave you with 9 or less.
Research muna bago mag comment ng “FAKE”, libre na nga google di pa gamitin. Parang utak, libre pero onti gumagamit.
SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 owner says:
Bakit yung J7 ko at J5 exactong 16 GB yung internal memory nila? Sagutin nyo ako kasi mainit ulo ko sa My28s ko na 2.2GB yung memory e dapat 8gb yun.
J says:
Lol.natawa ako neto.kahit anong memory gagamitin mo di yan 100%.expect ka ng more or less 75%.
Christina says:
wala pong gaming review?
Garry says:
bakit po blurred mga pictures sa unit ko. do i need to update or sa unit lng sya??
loty says:
Excite Prime user po ako and been using it for three weeks, masasabi ko this one is a great phone considering yung price and specs really good at so far wala pa nmn akng na encounter na problema everything works well from camera to processor overall maganda sya satisfied ako at it’s really a great savings for your money.
joemar says:
makabili nga nito…..kakainggit hah?…hehe
chilllang says:
bumili ako white unit 2 days ago. okay siya, recommended! sa 2gb ram and 16gb rom panalo. looks great for a 4K peso backup phone. installed apex launcher agad para ma customize ko UI. ewan ko bakit laggy siya for an octacore parang hindi optimized. may split second wait bago mag react sa button press etc. pero baka unit ko lang ito. will try seeder siguro but any suggestions to speed it up without rooting is appreciated. tnx
Nikita Michael Catellier says:
I think you need to open up your dev options and make the animations a little bit to .5x there are three options that you can make it like that. kalikutin nyu nalang po. :)
christinelcap says:
Excellent phone for an unbelievable price! Worth it. I can’t believe na 4k lng ang exciteprime. I was scared to buy it pa kasi nakakaduda ang price pero all my doubt was erased. I’ve been using it for over 1 month pero wala pa akong naeexperience na problema. Very satisfied with its 16gb rom, processor, camera and bonus pa sa spotify earphones! Highly recommended! ???? Great phone in a great price! ????
Gerald Villanueva says:
Removable ba ang battery nito? thanks.
John says:
Yes.
ex flarex user says:

Graxa says:
THIS IS NOT A GOOD PHONE. Bought one in JUNE 2016 sa SM Cubao the next month it’s not working anymore. Even if I was not using it, it keeps on browsing different applications installed. Nanginginit sya tapos me mga part ng screen na di gumagana. All of the phones I bought tumatagal sa akin until ipamigay ko sa iba. And maingat ako sa gamit, but this one is surely a disappointing product. Pinaayos sa service center sa ortigas. After a day balik na naman sa dati. OMG! Sayang lang pera pag bumili nito… Definitely a waste!
resty says:
sad story, mukang pareho tayo re screen and ghost touches. San po sa Ortigas service center nila? thanks
labuyo says:
obviously defective yan nabili mo. lahat ng snabi mo nver ko naicounter lalo n ung umiinit. akin 2021 n ginagamit ko pa. still runs smoothly.
Zeta says:
Pwede ba itong maupgrade to marshmallow? Please reply anyone? Kasi gusto kong bumili.
RR says:
hi. PWEDI BA ITO MAGAMIT IN OTHER COUNTRIES? GAGANA BA ANG SIM PAG NILAGYAN KO SYA SIM FROM OTHER COUNTRY? TNX. KASI SABI NG FRIEND KO, PAG DINALA DAW ITO LIKE FOR EXAMPLE SA JAPAN, MAGAGAMIT MO LNG DAW SYA PANG WIFI OR INTERN ET..DI DAW SYA MAKAKA CALL AND TXT.
Kristine says:
I have one like this too. ExcitePrime At first i was very happy because maganda talaga yung phone and i feel na sulit ang bayad ko. I brought one last June 2015 pero around October 2015 after 4 monthsNasira na agad ang touchscreen ayaw na gumana ng ibang letters sa keypad. Tiniis ko kahit ganun pero just 2 weeks ago new year’s day ayaw narin mag read ng Sim card hindi ko pa dinadala sa service center buti nalang may nag regalo sakin ng new phone, pero wala pang 1 year ito sira na agad kaya ibig sabihin di talaga matibay i had the same experience with cherry mobile. Buti pa yung Iphone 3 ko napag lumaan na ng panahon almost 7 years na pero gumagana parin.
Kris says:
Nabili mo kamo nung June 2015? Kaya pala nasira agad, hindi pa yan tapos. January 2016 na-relase ang Excite Prime.
James says:
Tip> For much smoother press and swipe/lock
Go to settings>look for the build number in About phone > Status>Press it 7 times > Go back to your settings look for the developer option > Look for the animation option for the default that should be set to 1.0 set all the animation settings to > 0.5x or just choose none(Im currently using none).
Result: Much smoother navigation Hope this will help you guys :D

Pano po matanggal yung vibrate ng cep pag nagttype?
Eldon says:
Hi . I bought one yesterday. But it happen na may mga apps application na recommended for download. sobrang annoying nya though naka block naman sya sa settings pero from time to time na ioopen ko yung phone ko lagi syang nag aappear. What do I need to do para mag stop yung pop-up nun buti sana kung useful yung App d naman.
Thanks!
