Cherry Mobile – arguably the local brand that started the whole affordable Android craze – is at it again with a new batch of genre-defining new phones, called the Cosmos line. These four new devices end up in their premium end of the spectrum with a lot powerful specs and sought after components like 18MP BSI Cameras; Super AMOLED displays; and even the most impressive: a Full HD 1080p IPS display with Gorilla Glass 2. That’s quite a feat, given that earlier this year we still were getting 800×480 displays from local manufacturers. The new phones, named the Cosmos X, S, X2, and Z, are all running Quad-Core 1.2 or 1.5Ghz MediaTek processors and have the aforementioned 18MP BSI Cameras and scratch resistant displays. (Gorilla Glass 2 or Dragon Trail) And at least one of them now rules as the most affordable 1080p-screened phone in the world. (As far as we know.) So check out our preview video of all four devices as well as their full specs and tentative prices below!
