A new tablet from Cherry Mobile is coming for the holiday season and the best part — it is LTE-ready.

The Superion Radar LTE from the local brand packs a 7-inch IPS capacitive display, 1.2GHz Quad-core processor, 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal memory with microSD card slot that supports up to 32GB. There’s also a basic 2-megapixel rear camera and a VGA front-facing camera. Android 4.4.4 KitKat boots on the device, which is already dated for 2015.

It has Dual-SIM support for cellular data and one of them can connect to LTE bands. With a price tag of Php 3,999, it’s a steal. An LTE Pocket Wi-Fi usually cost around the same but without the display and processing power.

As part of OpenSignal’s report and in addition to our previous article showing the average speed of both Smart and Globe, the data shows that Philippines has an average LTE speed of 8Mbps — one of the slowest in the world.

With Globe and Smart averaging 11Mbps and 5Mbps respectively, it results to 8Mbps average which puts us in the same ranking as South Africa, Ecuador, and Thailand. Sad to say,  it’s pretty clear that we’re the bunch that are on the bottom part of the list as ranked by speed.

Methodology

The company drew data from the hundreds of thousands of OpenSignal users that have LTE-capable phones and connect to operators with live 4G networks. That data was collected in three months between June and August.
