Chery Mobile announced their high definition smartphone @ their Facebook Fanpage "Cherry Mobile Flare HD". So, what do we expect on this new model? By the name itself, the Flare HD is HD at 720p (720 x 1280 resolution), along with that a slight increase in its battery capacity to 1800mAh.
Despite the advertised Mali400 GPU, after a run on AnTuTu benchmark it was found out to be MediaTek MT6589 + PowerVR SGX 544 GPU the same combo on most affordable Quadcore smartphones today (ex. Arc Mobile Nitro 450QD).
