The cheapest among the them is the Omega HD 3 with a 5-inch HD display. It is powered by a 1.3GHz Quad-core processor paired with 1GB of RAM. Storage is at minimal with 8GB but it can support up to 32GB of microSD. It is also equipped with an 8-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front-facing camera. It has Dual-SIM support with HSPA+ connectivity for just Php 2,999.

The Omega 4G levels up the game with LTE. While it sports a rather slow 1GHz Quad-core processor, it packs a better 5-inch HD IPS On-cell display, 2GB of RAM, and a bigger 16GB internal storage. It also has a microSD card slot for expansion up to 64GB. An upgraded 13-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front camera is also in tow for Php 4,499.

Another one comes with the name of Omega HD Nitro. It is similar in terms of specifications with the Omega 4G but a slightly faster Quad-core processor at 1.1GHz. It is also priced at Php 4,499.

These new Omega smartphones from Cherry Mobile expands the already wide selection from the brand. Though, we are skeptical with the 1GHz processor stated on the brochure. We’ll have to look into that.

MyPhone my35 and my36 shows up on a brochure

MyPhone‘s upcoming smartphones are already listed on their brochures giving us a peak of what’s their line-up for the holidays.

my35-my36-brochure

The my35 and my36 are both octa-core powered, most likely MediaTek, offerings from the local phone brand. Despite their difference in terms of screen resolution, the two models are somehow similarly priced.

MyPhone my35 is the lower specced of the two with its IPS display at an HD resolution. Probably a 720p panel with no protective glass on top. It is priced at Php 6,888.

MyPhone my35 specifications:
5-inch HD IPS display
1.3GHz Octa-core 64-bit processor
3GB of RAM
16GB internal memory, w/ microSD support up to 64GB
13-megapixel rear camera
5-megapixel front-facing camera
4G LTE
Dual-SIM / Dual-Standby
3140mAh battery
Android Lollipop

On the other hand, the MyPhone my36 has a bigger and better display at 5.2-inch Full HD IPS with the addition of Gorilla Glass 3 for scratch-resistance. It’s just 111 bucks more expensive than the other model at only Php 6,999.

MyPhone my36 specifications:
5.2-inch Full HD IPS display w/ Gorilla Glass 3
1.3GHz Octa-core 64-bit processor
3GB of RAM
16GB internal memory, w/ microSD support up to 64GB
13-megapixel rear camera
5-megapixel front-facing camera
4G LTE

2900mAh battery
Android Lollipop

This is a rather strange pricing between the two models. It makes the my36 a better buy although its battery capacity is still yet to be determined.
