SKK has announced on their facebook page their latest smartphone offering, Phoenix G1, beating with a quad-core processor and waving its affordable price tag at only P3,799. Let's see how the cheapest quad-core yet matches with CM Flare 3, specs-wise.
Processor:
SKK Phoenix G1 - 1.3GHz Quad-Core MediaTek 6582 processor
Cherry Mobile Flare 3 - 1.3GHz Quad-Core MediaTek 6582 processor
RAM:
SKK Phoenix G1 - 1GB RAM
Cherry Mobile Flare 3 - 1GB RAM
It's obvious that both phones share very similar specs. They are powered by the same processor, MT 6582 clocked at 1.3GHz so expect identical performance and smoothness. Days of lagging affordable androids are almost gone with its 1GB RAM for multitasking, provided that you close apps frequently that aren't on use.
Display:
SKK Phoenix G1 - 5-inch, qHD (540x960 pixels) IPS Display
Cherry Mobile Flare 3 - 5-inch qHD (540x960 pixels) IPS OGS Scratch-resistant Display
Flare 3 has detailed that their screen is scratch-resistant and made with One Glass Solution. SKK on the other hand did not give further info, but having an IPS on both is good news. However, almost all users put screen protectors on their phone, so still, close call.
Camera:
SKK Phoenix G1 - 8MP Main and 5MP Front Camera
Cherry Mobile Flare 3 - 8MP Main and 3MP Front Camera
In this field, the SKK Phoenix has an upper hand with its higher resolution front camera. It will capture higher details but we may want to see the real life capabilities in terms of Image Quality.

Other Features:

Tough competition between these two, isn't it? The SKK Phoneix G1 might have an advantage in terms of specifications on paper. It is also priced P200 cheaper than Cherry Mobile Flare 3. At this though rivalry, the things that may matter now is their availability and customer support. The Flare 3 is out now but it's very hard to get because of tight supply. Phoenix G1 is yet to debut on its kiosks and stalls nationwide.
