Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt: Php3,999 Quad-core Tablet

Just this morning, in a product launch attended by press and bloggers. Cherry Mobile just unveiled their new 7" HD Quad-core tablet for only Php3,999!

The Fusion Bolt tablet is almost the same as the Ainol Novo Venus, however, the specs of the Bolt are slightly lowered. From 1.5 GHz to 1.0 GHz Quad-core and the 16 GB internal storage is lowered to 8 GB. Maybe this is the reason for the insanely low price. But it is still quad-core!

Cherry Mobile Flare Using 2,200mAh LG P970 Optimus Black Battery (Video)

Two days ago, I posted about one Flare user modifying his Cherry Mobile Flare to use a 2,100mAh Samsung Galaxy S III battery 

However, you need some skill or knowledge in electricity or electronics to modify it.

note: Flare's original battery is only 1,500mAh

Just this morning, when I visited the Flare Facebook Group, one Flare user posted another compatible battery with Flare. He said that there is no need to modify the battery. It only means that you don't need an expert hand to use it on Flare, just insert it and you're good to go.

He used a 2,200mAh battery for LG P970 Optimus Black.

Cherry Mobile Flare Using 2,100 mAh Samsung Battery

One of the biggest frustrations that the Cherry Mobile Flare users share is its low battery life of 1,500 mAh. For a dual-core, dual-SIM and 4-inch smartphone, it is not enough.

To end his frustration, one Flare user (Leshrac Hunter) has modified a Samsung 2,100 mAh battery terminals to fit the Flare. See video below:

He said that he never encountered any problem after using the battery for several hours. If the user gives further updates, I'll post it here.


Update:

- It's a class A Samsung Galaxy S III Battery
