Too amazing to be true?
I had to rub my vision when I first research about Cherry Mobile's event late this Oct. Cherry Mobile launched the Sizing and Leader Android managing system OS smartphones.
I dual and several analyzed what I was learning. But several aspects divided itself and designed my jaw drop.
- Point 1: 4.0" and 5.0" Android managing system os for 4K and 6.5K Php respectively. This immediately suggested the res was at least 800x480. Insane in love with the price.
- Point 2: MTK6577 SOC on the 5.0". I've been following manufacturers from Shenzhen since the iPad launched and I noticed what this designed. Dual-core Cortex A9. That's definitely in mid-range or greater place.
- Point 3: Snapdragon S4 MSM8225. I seemed up the wide range because I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Krait main, definitely not at 4K Php. Still, it's a affordable Dual-core Cortex A5.
- Point 4: IPS show on the 4.0". What the hell? 800x480 IPS at 4K Php?! Impossiburu! It MUST be a typo! But no.
- Point 5: 4.0" and 5.0" Android managing system os for 4K and 6.5K Php respectively. It HAD to be persistent and forced. 4K and 6.5K Php for these requirements. Insane
If I was to evaluation at which price wide range the Leader features per requirements, it would be the following:
Processor performance: Php 15,000 to 20,000 range
--(competitors: cell cellular phones that use a dual-Cortex A9 SOC. i.e. New new samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 <TI OMAP 4430>, Sony designs models Xperia P <NovaThor U8500>)
Screen performance: Php 10,000 to 15,000 range
--(competitors: cell cellular phones with a WVGA/800x480 show that use PLS, VA or similar for better PQ. i.e. Sony designs models Xperia L, New new samsung Ace Plus 2, LG Optimus L7)
Size: Php 15,000+
--(competitors: there are very few cell cellular phones in the market with a 5.0" or larger show. The most cost-effective would be the Lenovo S880 and Unique SH530U, both of which are 15K Php. Other than that, it's just the New new samsung Galaxy Notice which goes well beyond 20K Php)
Camera: Php 5,000 to 10,000 range
--(competitors: entry-level cell cellular phones with "3.2 to 5 megapixel" cameras. Cameras in this wide range aren't particularly noteworthy)
It's an overall huge mixture and it's very easy to ignore that it's only 6,499 Philippine Pesos.
I'll be working with each of these requirements after I've described the development and common views of the item.
Build Quality
The Titan's design is compact and soldier. It seems very powerful too. It'll immediately highlight you of the New new samsung Galaxy S II. The act of the Leader is basically, with no promotion whatsover. You have an ear item, the front-facing photography photographic camera, the show, the three backlit, managing connections control buttons on the end that go with to menu/options, home and coming returning, and the mild signal which you won't even observe due to the black beginning that is the top element of the Leader -- it's very easy. If you like black and want to look like an all-work, no-play entrepreneur, or John Relationship, the Leader is for you. Despite being a huge mobile cellphone, it's also only 10.5 mm heavy.
The coming returning protected of the Leader is designed of some type of unpleasant that has a rubbery encounter to it. It actually leads to keep which you can encounter when you keep it returning and forth with both hands. The Leader also comes with a additional backcover that has a built-in flipcover. I was surprised when the flipcover of the Leader actually functions like the brilliant protected on my iPad. The flipcover immediately wakes up the show from relax when you begin it and immediately locations the mobile cellphone to relax when you near it. Stylish.

The Leader does not have a dedicated photography photographic camera key. The place of the quantity up and down key on the upper-right element allows you to easily control the quantity with your thumbs when organized with the right part. The top-left place of the 3.5 mm slot also indicates you can easily slide the Leader in and out of your pockets without strike from the ear phones cables. My only con with the Titan's coming returning is that the photography photographic camera connections is a little bit protruding in an external route by about 1 mm. It might have been better reccessed so that connections doesn't get crawled when taking it in and out of the pockets. The connections does appear to have some protecting to prevent mild scores as I've been using it for nearly per several weeks time as of this writing and have taken it in and out of the right pockets of my jeans a lot of periods. No scores so far.

Overall effect of the Titan's development is very amazing. As frequent, don't neglect it and it'll last you a while. The mobile cellphone also comes linked with a show secure out of the box.
Here is the recommendations of what comes within the box:
- 1x Cherry Mobile W500 Titan
- 1x Earphones
- 1x USB cable
- 1x Surfaces charger
- 1x Client's manual
- 1x Extra backcover with set flipcover
- 1x 2350 mAh battery
Update: Categories of the Cherry Mobile Leader designed available from the 3rd several weeks duration of Dec 2012 forward do not have the set flipcover engaged within the box. It is unknown if Cherry Mobile will be such as them again later on. I will be enhancing this again if the flipcover becomes engaged once more.
Screen and Size
The show is not IPS. I do it again, the show is not IPS. It's not a bad element though the show is actually an MVA panel. To put it candidly, it's between the inexpensive TN segments and the more expensive IPS segments. It has amazing watching viewpoints like an IPS (though IPS is still better), has amazing assessment, but is impacted with insufficient response time.
While the watching viewpoints are amazing, they're still not as amazing as an IPS. You can viewpoint an IPS show from 179 stages and it will still look amazing. At over 160 stages, the MVA show provides some whitewashing. With regards to the insufficient response time, it's a common a weakness for all VA (vertical alignment) segments. On the Leader, this is exposed by some colour going when there are fast pictures. It's particularly apparent when scrolling through the Android managing system os UI, but it's hardly identifiable when watching movies or doing provides. Despite that, the overall amazing of the show is amazing and you won't discover out it losing at all, unless you've decreased from a Galaxy Notice. Believe in me.
Here are some injections of the Titan's show showing watching in enhance element and at angles:
I would also like to bring up that there are three "color modes" for the Titan's show.
They can be located under Options -> Display -> Shades.
Color options
Simple colour and vivid mode
Deep colour mode
At this element, you'd think that even with a amazing panel on the Leader, there's no way 800x480 will look distinct on a 5.0". The PPI of the Leader is 187 while my 3.0" Xperia Mini's PPI is 192. You'd think that the Xperia Little would look a bit better. Actually, it doesn't. It looks more extreme. Most people immediately think of the PPI and ignore the observe dimension. Sure, there's a restrict (i.e. WVGA @ 7" looks terrible). However, UI devices with the improve in excellent. For example, my Xperia Little may take 10 p to indicate the site "A". Despite the decreased PPI, my Leader may take 20 p to indicate the site "A" and thus looks better than my Little.
Another element important to observe is that the show is 5.0". Bigger shows are usually a top excellent for cell cellular phones as the larger surface area allows for more show residence. For example, you can actually observe a movie in "windowed mode" like you would on a PC while web looking. There are very few cell cellular phones in the market aside from Samsung's Galaxy Notice series (which started this phablet craze) that are beyond 5.0". The most cost-effective available 5.0" is Lenovo's S880, which costs 15K Php and has nearly the exactly same requirements as the Leader, the only difference being small power supply power on the S880, IPS on the S880 and MVA on the Leader, and an LED show on the Leader and no show on the S880. The Leader gives you that top excellent encounter of a phablet at a very, very low price.
The costs of the Leader also fits with its observe dimension advantages over the Sizing. The Flare's 4.0" show is only 63% the external coating place of the Titan's 5.0", or 2/3rds the dimension. The Sizing is 4K Php, which makes it 62% the price of the 6.5K Leader. Not sure if Cherry Mobile was aware of this when they did the costs, but I'm sure they had some ideas.
Below is a assessment of the Leader (5.0") vs my Htc N9 (4.0") and my Xperia Little (3.0"). The observe dimension difference is apparent when they're in evaluation side-by-side. If you're coming from something like a New new samsung Galaxy Y or Optimus L3, you might be puzzled by how much show residence you have.
Titan vs Htc N9 vs SE Xperia Mini
The MediaTek MTK6577 is a dual-core Cortex A9-based SOC with a PowerVR SGX 531 Extremely GPU. It's also created at 40 nm, which gives it a warm and power advantages over other dual-core Cortex A9-based SOCs which are created at 45 nm. Some of these SOCs involve the TI OMAP 4430/4460 (Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250, Samsung Android managing system RAZR, LG Optimus 3D P920), New new samsung Exynos 4210 (Samsung Galaxy S II, Galaxy Notice, Galaxy Tab 7.7), The the apple organization company A5 (iPhone 4S, iPad 2) which are all found on higher-end or major gadgets from 2011. Obviously, the Leader features and seems speed-wise, just like the top gadgets from 2011.
The only disappointment on the MTK6577 is the PowerVR SGX 531 Extremely. I couldn't discover out any datasheets on the SGX 531 Extremely or SGX 531T, so I'm assuming it's usually an SGX 530 with greater lights. The SGX 530 is an old GPU, much like the Adreno 205. However, the SGX 531 Extremely changes out to be affordable, examining 27.4 FPS on Nenamark 2. Devices like the Xperia Execute which use an Adreno 205 are staying in the dust.
Titan's Nenamark 2 Score
Another element that concerned me when I analyzed out the requirements item was the 512 MB of RAM. However, my only caution with this is that it only allows me to multi-task 2 or 3 programs at once. Given the Android managing system os system lifecycle, programs in the backdrop that were managing will be stopped or "destroyed" when there isn't enough RAM to offer the new system launched. Don't get it wrong, the mobile cellphone definitely prices by on 512 MB of RAM. The problem is some people misunderstand decreased RAM as low cost. In this scenario, it's just less multi-tasking -- and that's a bad element since a 5.0" usually requests to be multitasked.
Camera
Here comes the bad element. Cherry Mobile had to cut some factors to reach the amazingly low price, and they did so on the photography photographic camera. The photography photographic camera on the Cherry Mobile seems definitely terrible if you're coming from something like the iPhone 4, Htc N9 or higher-end cell cellular phones from yesteryears with very amazing cameras. However, to make a affordable assessment, the Leader is only 6.5K which is very easy to ignore. I believe it's usually because the Leader features well out of its price wide range in nearly every requirements that the photography photographic camera of the Leader just seemed bad in assessment. After some additional analyzing of the photography photographic camera, I've come to figure out that it isn't actually that bad. It remains RELATIVELY very bad, but given the cameras on cell cellular phones in the 5K Php to 10K Php category, the Leader actually provides ok.
Also, I have a few is aware (rather, quirks) on certain features on the photography photographic camera on the Titan:
- Changing on HDR (high amazing range) in still taken technique generates two (2) pictures instead of one. The common performance of HDR on cameras is to take two injections in greater and decreased luminance and combine them into only one image. I'm thinking the Leader reduces out the last stage and doesn't combine the two pictures.
- Changing on EIS (electronic image stabilization) in movies technique leads to a "jump" or quit every few a few moments while getting movies video. I don't normally use EIS since system implementations of movie backing provides unwanted artifacts and other trash that degrades the amazing of it video. It's suggested that EIS be transformed off at all periods unless you're really up for a difficult generate. Even on dedicated cameras, I rely on lens/optical image backing alone and keep EIS transformed off.
- There's no macro technique in still taken technique. I can't discover out it anywhere. However, I found that touching the show to concentrate on the shifted place functions just amazing to make macro injections.

The photography photographic camera of the Leader remains its main a weakness, but at the price of the Leader, you'll actually be pressed to discover a mobile cellphone with a much better photography photographic camera. The only "branded" cell cellular phones that are engaged that cope with the Leader on price are the New new samsung Galaxy Y, Sony designs models Xperia Tipo, LG Optimus L3, and a few others. None of them have amazing cameras.
Here's the description on the Titan's camera:
- Appropriate outside shots
- Dreadful low mild or within shots
- Macro injections are possible, but they're far too indicated and decrease a lot of detail
- Video video producing is efficient for 720p
The front part element suffering from photography photographic camera is common, nothing well-known. It's absolutely useful for Skype and whatnot.
Other Stuff
The sound result of the Leader is very clean and more than successfully amazing. It can generate all my IEMs. No hissing when there's nothing suffering from. Goes very well with Poweramp and its wide range of choices to improve your listening to encounter. When along with my FiiO E6 amp, it can even generate my Superlux HD 668B without problems. This is an perfect mobile cellphone for songs play-back.
One of the features on the Leader is also the way of life pattern of power supply power. It's usually impressive!
Take for example the other day where I determined to see my power supply power consumption. Went out that day with 82% power supply power staying at 10:30 am.
Used the mobile cellphone that day for:
-Used 3.5G/HSDPA details only while web looking for about Once 50 percent an time (used Opera Mobile for browsing)
-Played Virtua Tennis and Dead Produce for a finish of about 30 minutes
-Took and designed telephone phone calls gathering 6 mins
-Sent and acquired a few published written text messages
-Music suffering from with my headsets on at finish quantity for about 4 quantity of time in finish (used Poweramp for songs playback)
-Brightness set to auto-brightness (light signal chooses brightness)
Got home at 8 pm and I still had 54% left! On regular use + songs suffering from coming returning (90-100% quantity, IEM) for a few time, the mobile cellphone can last me two periods.
Also, you can only use 3G/3.5G (UMTS/HSDPA) on one SIM slot. You can set up which SIM slot 3G/3.5G will be permitted.
Some people looking forward to get this phablet may also be frustrated by the factor that the Leader does not have a built-in stylus pen pen. However, it does perform with the frequent capacitive stylus pen pen. Even the Php 30 CDR Expert stylus pen pen functions amazing. What makes the "stylus experience" on the Leader useful is that it has an "exact" (the 'pen over paper' icon) option under the reports bar. What it does is improve stage of stage of sensitivity to a element that you can flow your useful 1 or 2 mm above the show and it will still sign-up a get in touch with. In perform out, this allows figure out perfection and stability with a stylus pen pen. It's a bad though that it doesn't come with a stylus pen pen built-in.
The "Exact" option. Suitable for stylus pen pen use.

The Leader also has built-in GPS with A-GPS assistance. I can only say that the performance of the GPS processer within the Leader is excellent. I permitted GPS and staying the A-GPS (which uses system details to help with lock-on) choices impacted. Lo and look at, less than 15 a few moments later and I get a GPS protected. That is VERY, very fast considering A-GPS choices were impacted. Other cell cellular phones don't even protected on this fast with A-GPS permitted.
For clients wanting to use Google own Redirecting system. Turn-by-turn routing with conversation is not available in the Malaysia. However, you can still use Google Redirecting to get recommendations and tale aspects for you whether you are producing or just walking/commuting. Also, you can use other routing system on Android managing system os with turn-by-turn routing with conversation.

Conclusion
The Cherry Mobile Leader is a worldbeater of a mobile cellphone at its price. If you're new to Android managing system os and are planning to get something like a Galaxy Y Duos or Optimus L3 (which take up the same price as the Titan), ignore them and get the Leader. I cannot stress enough how important a amazing processer processor and a amazing show is for the specified Android managing system os encounter. I've noticed many encounters of disappointment from people who have bought low-end Android managing system os cell cellular phones in the last period and it's staying a unpleasant taste in their mouth.Even for people who have bought mid-range cell cellular phones this period like the Sony designs models Xperia Neo V and New new samsung Galaxy W, the Leader is actually considered an upgrade bar the photography photographic camera -- even if those cell cellular phones initially price more than 2 or 3 periods the Titan's SRP. If you want to have a taste of the particular Android managing system os encounter, the Cherry Mobile Leader is a fantastic kick off factor.
Pros:
+ Large 5.0" screen
+ 800x480 MVA panel locations the opponents in its price range
+ Dual-core Cortex A9 processor
+ Double SIM
+ Excellent prospective 2350 mAh battery
+ Excellent create quality
+ 6,499 Php only
Cons:
- Dreadful camera
- 512 MB of RAM only allows little multi-tasking since only a few programs can remain in the background
- Doesn't have a built-in stylus pen pen like the Galaxy Note
Given the 6,499 Php price, you will ignore the disadvantages if you're enhancing to the Leader.
