Cherry Mobile Flare S4 Lite

The S4 Lite is a recent alteration of Cherry Mobile, from its more recent Flare lineup. This Cherry Mobile Flare S4 Lite version isn’t all that Lite to begin with. Despite being a regular 5-incher, the Flare S4 Lite packs a decent punch in the system department. It holds a MediaTek hexacore chip, as well as a decent 1GB of RAM since most phones at the Flare S4 Lite’s price range, are only around 512MB RAM. The latter doesn’t look very fancy in the battery department and all, but since the latter is under the Flare lineup, you should expect the best from it. The Flare S4 Lite is priced at around Php3,999.
