| Cherry Mobile FLARE vs Cloudfone Thrill 430x Display Comparison - Which one is sharp, crispy and clear?? |
Why should I compare Cloudfone Thrill 430x with Cherry Mobile FLARE? They should be incomparable right? Why not compare it to MyPhone A919 or A898 DUO, Cherry Mobile TITAN and to StarMobile ASTRA?
Honestly, I choose CM FLARE and CF Thrill 430x because it runs on the same Qualcomm 1.2 GHz dual-core S4 processor. FLARE runs on MSM8225 while Thrill 430x on MSM8625, the difference of two processors are 3G MODEM.
MSM8625 are CDMA and UMTS capable while MSM8225 are UMTS only. CDMA and UMTS are both 3G phone standards and the difference between the two are how calls are handed off from one cell tower to the next as the caller travels. Another one is the operating frequency. CDMA operates on 850 MHz band while UMTS on 1920 - 2200 MHz.
Qualcomm made S4 Play processor to bring speed to lower end devices. It is hardware and software compatible with S1 processor. So, with existing design for lower end Android phones with S1, swap it with S4 then it became an affordable, much faster, high performance and that benefit both consumers and manufacturers.
