This was the 1st HD IPS smartphone for CM. We had some hands-on experience and we can feel the smoothness of the said device alongside with it's HD display. As for the games, we tested Dead Trigger 1 there as I after I chose my weapons to the actual game itself, it only loaded about 9 seconds which is pretty fast. There's no lag as I played a few minutes there. The helpful crew from CM also had a scratch test (to test it's Dragontrail glass), this "call card test" (which means that even you have a gloves or 3 call cards are on the display, you can still control and swipe the screen) and the "water dripping test" (which you can still control the display event there are water droplets onto the screen)
When we thought that the event was over, think again. CM's Brand Officer for Smartphones Mr. Miguel Bonifacio shocked us and the rest of media and blogging community there as the real reason for this event. They launched their first momentous quad-core smartphone named Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0
Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0 specs:
Android 4.1 Jellybean
1.2 ghz quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor
4.5 qhd display
Picture-in-picture function (which means you can use the front and rear cams at the same time either for photo or video)
5 mp rear cam with flash and auto-focus
VGA front cam
1 gb ram
3g, bluetooth, WiFi b/g/n
Dual-sim, dual stand by
Can record video up to 720p
Can play video up to 1080p (using mp4 in native player)

One spec that we can be concerned of that device was the 1600mah for a quadcore device but don't worry as a promo until May 31 2013, every purchase of Flame 2.0 will have a free 2000mah power bank and will be available in participating dealers and online stores
Both devices will be available on the 1st week of April.
