Cherry Mobile Cruize UPDATE: (It's 8MP not 5MP and more!)

After posting the Cherry Mobile Cruize announcement 2 days ago, I immediately joined the Cherry Mobile Omega and Cruize facebook group for updates. Below are the latest updates I've gathered:

- The rear camera of the Cruize is 8MP not 5MP!

- Tagalog language setting.
- The processor is a single core MTK6575
- Temple Run 2 runs smooth
- Antutu Benchmark score: 3921

- Dead Trigger running smoothly (according to Raymon Rosales of Omega and Cruize Facebook Group)

I'll post more updates later!

Cherry Mobile Cruize, 5.2-inch Smartphone for $110 (Php4,499)

Just months after releasing their flagship smartphones, the 4-inch Flare and 5-inch Titan, Cherry Mobile just announced their new Bigger XL smartphone, the 5.2-inch Cherry Mobile Cruize.

The main features of this smartphone are its huge 5.2-inch WVGA touch screen display and its juicy 2,500mAh battery.

Specifications:

5.2-inch WVGA capacitive display @ 480 x 800 pixels (179 ppi)

1GHz single-core Broadcom processor

Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich

512MB of RAM

4GB internal storage  

expandable storage via microSD up to 32GB

Dual SIM, dual-standby

WiFi 802.11 b/g/n

3G/HSDPA

Bluetooth 2.1

GPS with A-GPS Support

5MP autofocus rear-camera camera with LED flash (720p HD video)

720p HD video capture and playback

VGA front-camera

Li-Ion 2,500mAh battery

For battery life comparison, the 5-inch dual-core Titan has a 2,350mAh battery that will last for 2 days with average use and some even say "with their Wi-Fi always turned on". So it is expected that this single-core Cruize with 2,500mAh battery will last longer than the Titan.

I just learned that the Cherry Mobile Cruize is the G'Five G95 smartphone from China.

If you own this smartphone, please share your experiences and how long the battery last for this phone.
