Infinix NOTE 50 Pro Review
Just this week, Cherry Mobile launched the Fusion Bolt, a 7-inch Android tablet with a quad-core processor. Although its specs seem to be common for tablets nowadays, its sub-Php4k pricetag is not.
As we have mentioned in our recent article, the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt is a relabeled Ainol Novo 7 Venus Lite. It sports a quad-core processor clocked at 1.0GHz, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. In addition, it has an IPS HD display, a microSD card slot, an HDMI out port, a 2 megapixel rear camera, a VGA front-facing and runs Android 4.1.1 Jellybean.
Aesthetic-wise, the Fusion Bolt looks like a regular Ainol 7-incher minus the Ainol logo. It’s plastic rear, however, is quite different. Instead of having a glossy or matte finish, it has a diamond-patterned back that gives an illusion that it’s made of rubber. It actually feels good in the hands and fingertips as the texture makes it less likely to slip. Overall, the device looks and feels solid.
We did a series of benchmark tests of the CM Fusion Bolt using AnTuTu, Quadrant, Vellamo and GLBenchmark. Check below for the results.
AnTuTu gave it a score of 5,985 while Quadrant Standard gave it a score of 2,722.
For Vellamo, it scored 905 on its HTML 5 test and 218 on Metal.
With NenaMark 2, it gauged its Vivante GC1000+MP GPU at 34.9fps.
As for GLBenchmarks, take a look at the table below:

Kenz Perez says:
Hmm.. I’m still buying this! Gotta use this for video monitoring for my DSLR.. as well as for movie and gaming pleasures.. :)
sykes says:
be careful though with the GPU,it may not support high-end games even though its got a quad-core chip.”You get what you pay for”.But for its price tag,you can’t really complain much…it explains.
garz says:
I doubt you’ll get gaming pleasures with this one.
mang kanor says:
well.. wala naman siyang sinabi na high-end mobile 3d gaming.. so….. kung mga temple run, tap tap, logo quiz lang lalaruin nya, kahit sumakay ka pa, pwede na yan.. wag masyadong maarte.. dalawang araw na sahod lang price nya kaya walang magrereklamo..
scandaldownloader says:
Mang Kanor, ayan na naman .. para kang galit…
Pag sumakay yung nagsabi sa taas sa 7 inch na gadget na to, eh hindi ka makakalaro ng temple run part 2. kasi:
sa laki ba naman ng pwet ng tao eh malamamng wala ng space para sa mga kamay mo (mahina ka pa rin)..
Yung pwet mo na lang sa SEX VIDEO ang ipakita mo… ok??… hehehe

robert john says:
i love the model and the price…
kaya bawal mag mayabang… dapat nga matowa pa tayo dahil sa price
sykes says:
It looks sturdy-face down….hmm,but i still doubt CM Builds..even though its Ainol originally.The CM Brand provokes distrust in me.
BernarDroid says:
medyo mabagal-bagal pero ok nman. Good nman ang price at ok nman ang processor
Freeje says:
I thought my regular Venus was relatively slow compared with other quad core tablets but the lite version is really slow. Can’t use it for gaming as its GPU is only dual core and not that good. Only good for getting online and watching movies. Got it for $110.
ahok says:
please.. kung gusto nyo ng gaming tablet bumili kayo ng gaming tablet… dapat alam nyo kung para san tablet nyo wag ung bili kayo ng bili.. just saying…
rui says:
What firmware version? Also, kanino manggagaling yung firmware updates? Ainol or CM? Does this come free of Chinese bloatware? Rooted na ba siya out of the box?
By the way, score ng Venus (1.2GHz) ko in AnTuTu 3.1.1 is just 5,299 with 0110 firmware. I think with new firmware, it’s around 10,000. Sira touchscreen ko so can’t do any more testing with the tablet right now. Bit the bullet and bought a replacement (alas, $150 inabot with express shipping).
Will try to look through the screenshots I took and post results for the original Venus here for comparison.
William C says:
For your full review. Please try to test video playback of 720p or 1080p files. If this is not a gaming machine, then let’s hope it can be video player. That’s where the ips screen could shine. Kasi for if for ebook at web browsing Lang. Then even those 2999 cdrking tablets will do.
rui says:
Not really. A lot of cheapie tablets only come with 800×480 or 1024×600 displays. Even with a smallish 7″ screen, the higher 1280×800 resolution and increased pixel density really helps quite a bit when it comes to reading. The increased resolution is the reason I opted for Nexus 7 instead of the Galaxy Tab 2 despite the lack of microSD slot.
That said, the Venus 7 (and presumably the rebadged Fusion Bolt) worked well with the 720 and 1080p MKVs I’ve tried with MX Player (HW Decoder).
Jen says:
I was thinking of buying the Asus MemoPad, but with CM Fusion Bolt, I’m thinking of getting this one.
Comparisons, please!

mee toO,. I was thinking about Asus Memo Pad, but this one made me think twice,.
