Budget Android Smartphone of Choice: The New Cherry Mobile Hyper

There are so many things that one can expect from the local branded mobile phone maker Cherry Mobile. With their latest release called the Cherry Mobile Hyper, you are given something that can be considered mid-ranged in terms of specs but extremely cheap in terms of pricing.  At P4,999 the Cherry Mobile Hyper is Cherry Mobile's cheapest Android phone of its class.

The Cherry Mobile Hyper sports a 5-inch display, a 1.2GHz a dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB internal storage expandable via microSD, 5-megapixel rear camera, VGA front camera and 2,000mAh battery.  

One of the downsides to Cherry Mobile's phablet phone is that it uses an 800 X 480 screen resolution thus you could almost make out the individual pixels. Camera is pretty much the same as that of the Cherry Mobile Titan, thus it is important to always have ample lighting to avoid getting too much of a grainy feel to your photos. 

The Cherry Mobile Hyper will run on on Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.  There’s no word if a Jelly Bean update is available in the future.
