Another 6-inch phablet is coming
If the Flare Mate is too expensive for you but you still want a budget, big-screen device, Cherry Mobile’s recently leaked Flare XL 2 may just be up your alley. A leaked photo of the new device is doing the rounds online, pegging the device at just Php 5,999.
Of course there’s several trade-offs – you lose the full HD display, metal body and fingerprint scanner of the Flare Mate, but the device is, for the most part, the same as its more expensive brother. That means a 1.3GHz octa-core processor, 16-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front, as well as a 2GB RAM/16GB storage combo. There’s also LTE on tap, as well as USB OTG capability.
