Leave it to Cherry Mobile to hit the bargain basement and excite the masses with a pair of budget Android smartphones. Even better, the Cherry Mobile Candy TV and the Cherry Mobile W100, priced at P3,299 and P3,499, respectively, are already available in Cherry Mobile stores and authorized resellers in the Philippines.

Cherry Mobile Candy TV

Cherry Mobile’s Candy TV is quite the delicious treat for bargain hunters. As the name suggests, the phone has a built-in TV antenna for catching the best and worst that local channels have to offer, all while being on the go.

The 3.5-inch display is an IPS-capacitive touchscreen rather than a TFT-resistive affair, which means overall better colors and wider viewing angles. It boasts dual-SIM capabilities and two cameras, too—with the main one sporting a 2-megapixel sensor. A 1GHz Snapdragon processor powers this device.

There are only two downsides: The Cherry Mobile Candy TV doesn’t have 3G onboard and it still ships with Google’s already aging Android Gingerbread platform. Then again, take note that the phone is on the low-end side.

Cherry Mobile Candy TV specs:

  • 1GHz Snapdragon CPU
  • 3.5-inch IPS capacitive display
  • 512MB internal memory with microSD card slot up to 32GB
  • 2-megapixel rear camera; front camera
  • Key features: WiFi connectivity, Dual-SIM, mobile TV
  • Android Gingerbread
  • P3,299

Cherry Mobile W100

The Cherry Mobile W100 is another attractive offering from the proudly Filipino brand. Similar to the channel-surfing Candy TV, the W100 is also powered by a Snapdragon chip with 1GHz of processing power and is capable of handling two SIM cards simultaneously. Likewise, it has a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen with IPS tech for some improved visuals.

Unlike its slightly cheaper sibling, however, this smartphone packs 3G connectivity and a bigger, 3-megapixel rear camera.

If you don’t mind its two-generation-old operating system—it’s Gingerbread, to be precise—this handset may be a worthwhile purchase.

Cherry Mobile W100 specs:

  • 1GHz Snapdragon CPU
  • 3.5-inch IPS capacitive display
  • 512MB internal memory with microSD card slot up to 32GB
  • 3-megapixel rear camera; front camera
  • Key features: 3G and WiFi connectivity, Dual-SIM
  • Android Gingerbread
  • P3,499
