The Cherry Mobile W500 Titan offers a 5" display with a capable hardware to match. The Titan is powered by a dual core Mediatek MT6577 CPU paired with 512MB RAM with an internal storage of 4GB that can be expanded to 32GB via microSD. The front-facing camera is pretty much basic as it sports VGA specs good enough for video calling and skype. The rear end camera has a 5MP shooter with flash, which takes pretty decent but rather grainy shots depending on lighting. The battery is one to take note of as it has a hefty 2350mAh battery. For those of you that are tired of carrying two phones you'd be happy to know that the Cherry Mobile Titan has Dual sim capabilities with Dual Standby.
How did it fare in terms of usage with regards to the other Phablet phones? This is where I would have to say that you might get rather surprised at least in terms of usability. The Cherry Mobile Titan due to the Ice Cream Sandwich software has performed quite well and smooth with slight lags at times which is most likely due to the small RAM allocation but it still does the job. It isn't something for heavy phone gamers but it can play games like riptide quite comfortably. Internal storage is quite small considering that the software has to take up space but thankfully enough the external sd option helps out a bit. It would have faired better if they had increased the internal storage quite a bit more to make it an even more attractive buy. Camera-wise it does the job but not exactly the best. Compared to the other brands that sports the same 5MP rear facing camera, the Cherry Mobile Titan still has a lot to improve on. But with proper lighting it still dishes out pretty good and amazing shots. You could probably use google apps like Camera 360 to help with improving the image output.
Overall, the Cherry Mobile W500 Titan is a pretty decent Phablet phone considering the price. It isn't something that one can ignore but one thing to keep in mind is that this isn't a phone for a heavy multi-tasking user as the hardware may keep you at bay. If you however, want a phablet experience without breaking your wallet and can be a bit forgiving in terms of a few lags here and there then this would be a good phone for you to try out. Also a good alternative for those that want the Android Experience and only want one phone for their two lines. The Cherry Mobile W500 Titan is a good budget Phablet but one that can still be further improved. I am betting that the next Phablet entry of Cherry Mobile will be a lot better, but for now this one is a Budget Phablet that is hard to beat, at least price-wise.
