in short sir, bang for the buck.

Have you tried playing Asphalt 7 or Real Racing 3 on it?

I inquired about Omega HD sa Memo Express awhile ago pero wala pa daw sila....

[d'flash]

bro retz, are you eyeing for Omega HD?

Got one Wednesday night last week.

First impressions:

• Temple Run 2 and the Rovio games had absolutely no lag, the same is true for the HD versions; it may not be a gamer's phone, but your daughter, niece, sister will still have more than enough processing power for the most popular games.

• Battery life is a little less than that of my Nexus 4, which is actually pretty good considering you have 2 sims.

• There is a very slight lag of a fraction of a second when swiping between screens (could be due to either 4.1 or the proc/gpu), this is compared, again, to a Nexus 4 (which is on 4.2 and a quad-core Krait).

• Let me say it again, this has a gorgeous screen!* This phone has definitely set the bar for the other local releases.* It can even compete with that of flagship phones from the likes of LG, Samsung and Sony. For this reason alone I would get a screen protector for it. :D

• The camera lens will definitely need a screen protector.* Not caring for the lens would be a shame since this phone has a great camera, both for stills and video.

• Would I choose this over the Flame 2.0?* Definitely.* This will not be as fast but the screen, size, camera and premium looks is what clinches it for the OHD .

• Would this be a good phone for young kids?* Probably not.* The size and lack of a life-proof case can be worrisome.

• Did I encounter any problems with apps?* None at all.

• What other extras should I get for this phone? -- get the Kingston 32GB class 10 microSD from CD-R King, which is also a good buy at ₱1,300,* get screen protectors for the front screen and camera lens (do not get matte or oily screens as you will be wasting your gorgeous 720p screen).

• Do I need to root the phone to maximize its use?* Nope.

• Where is my phone now?* The wife took it.* The people who were with me last weekend will also buy their own as a backup to their S3's, iPhones and Note 2's.

This phone, if priced at 11k, would actually still sell.* Pricing it below 8k is a steal.* This is definitely the best choice at this point for the 5k to ₱9,999 price range.* With a higher budget, I would say the Lenovo P770 would be a slight favorite but note that the Lenovo is at least ₱3,500 more expensive and has a screen which is a generation behind the Omega HD.* And don't forget the fact that the CM Omega HD just oozes "flagship phone" when you see it.* The P770, unfortunately, doesn't have the same good looks.

Cherry Mobile's competition is still stuck in 800 x 480 or at QHD resolutions and is now, sadly, far behind.* Those who are in the market for a good, solid, bang-for-the-buck phone with a great screen and premiere looks should strongly consider this phone, particularly since there are rumors of the price even going in the low 7k range at some stores.*

Will the competition be able to react to this release and at this price point?* Probably not until Q3 of this year.

Wow, I think this is a good 2nd phone para maka rest naman ang IP5 ko. I saw the Lenovo P770 and it looks good as well. The same with the O Plus 8.12 but this one from Cherry seems like the best bang for the buck. Only 8k!?!

How is the reception/signal? Malakas ba or palaging nawawalan ng signal? As well as calls, can you clearly hear the person you are talking with?
