Cherry Mobile Flare 4, Flare S4, and Flare S4 Plus Announced, Premium Budget Smartphones Starting at P4,999

Cherry Mobile was "in the moment" so to speak when they announced the newest members of their uber-popular Flare lineup for 2015 - the Cherry Mobile Flare 4, the Cherry Mobile Flare S4, and the most premium-looking of them all, the Cherry Mobile Flare S4 Plus.



What's interesting in this batch of Flares - price points aside - are the specifications and premium look, which is especially pronounced on the Flare S4 and the Flare S4 Plus. It took us a second to realize that the mechanism below the Flare S4's camera is actually its LED flash and not a heartbeat scanner. The Flare S4 Plus on the other hand looks like something out of Huawei's books with its almost bezel-less display. These devices also come in a myriad of colors, the most attractive of which is the champagne gold variant.
