I witnessed this last year when a local brand just had their upcoming smartphone during the holidays. De javu as someone from a Facebook-based group posted an upcoming Cherry Mobile handset.
Thru these pictures from Facebook user Gerard dela Cruz of Cherry Mobile Flare X United FB group, we got introduced to Cherry Mobile Flare Selfie
Cherry Mobile Flare Selfie specs inclide 1.3 GHz octa-core processor, Android 5.1 Lollipop, both 16 MP on main and secondary cameras, quad band 2G, tri band 3G, FDD LTE bands 1, 3, 7 and 20 (first time that I saw LTE band 20 on a local mobile brands), dual SIM, 5 inch IPS HD display, 3 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, finger print sensor (based on the icon on the box) and 3,000 mAh battery.
The FB tipster said that it might be available this January. No info yet on it's price.
