Cherry Mobile Nova 2 - Budget but Strong

Seems Cherry Mobile is rolling out more handsets and notably at very competitive price.

Here is Cherry Mobile Nova 2

Sporting 4 inch WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) IPS LCD Display powered by 1.2 Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8212 Quad-Core Processor with Adreno 302 GPU coupled with 4GB of Internal Storage and 1GB RAM. It also comes with microSD expansion slot. It also runs though Android Jelly Bean but it is at 4.3 version.

In terms of connectivity, the regular WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS is there and with todays standard HSPA+.

Moving on to the camera, it does pack a 8MP back with Flash and VGA front. But the camera is fixed focus and even first user said that this is the major flaw of the Nova 2.

Package contains propriety Battery, Headset, Charger and Cord, and Manual.

Benchmark is at 16K. See Here:

Note: As you can see it is said to have a Snapdragon 200 MSM8610 but its GPU is Adreno 305. Per official statement of Cherry Mobile it is equipped with MSM8212 and that Benchmarks Apps are not yet updated with the said chipset. But Cherry is contradicting itself in terms of GPU such that the chipset powers CM Probe which accordingly they said to have Adreno 302 GPU. Anu ba talaga?

Big Shout Out to the Admins of Cherry Mobile Page 

At 3,899.00 it will certainly attract our budget conscious geeks looking for strong hardware and decent feature portfolio. Another plus points is that Nova 2 is upgradeable to KitKat No Kikat yet for this device. Cherry Mobile is surely is King when it comes to pricing and up-to-date internals for it products. But hopefully they could level up their game in terms of battery.
