Just this week, Cherry Mobile launched the Fusion Bolt, a 7-inch Android tablet with a quad-core processor. Although its specs seem to be common for tablets nowadays, its sub-Php4k pricetag is not.
As we have mentioned in our recent article, the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt is a relabeled Ainol Novo 7 Venus Lite. It sports a quad-core processor clocked at 1.0GHz, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. In addition, it has an IPS HD display, a microSD card slot, an HDMI out port, a 2 megapixel rear camera, a VGA front-facing and runs Android 4.1.1 Jellybean.
Aesthetic-wise, the Fusion Bolt looks like a regular Ainol 7-incher minus the Ainol logo. It’s plastic rear, however, is quite different. Instead of having a glossy or matte finish, it has a diamond-patterned back that gives an illusion that it’s made of rubber. It actually feels good in the hands and fingertips as the texture makes it less likely to slip. Overall, the device looks and feels solid.
We did a series of benchmark tests of the CM Fusion Bolt using AnTuTu, Quadrant, Vellamo and GLBenchmark. Check below for the results.
AnTuTu gave it a score of 5,985 while Quadrant Standard gave it a score of 2,722.
For Vellamo, it scored 905 on its HTML 5 test and 218 on Metal.
With NenaMark 2, it gauged its Vivante GC1000+MP GPU at 34.9fps.
As for GLBenchmarks, take a look at the table below:
