Cherry Mobile Granite is the New Starmobile Energy

In 2012, after the successful release of its first flagship Android smartphone, Starmobile released a very interesting entry-level Android smartphone known as the Energy. It was known for its intriguing features despite the fact that it is running on a single-core processor such as an 8 megapixel rear camera, mobile TV function, and long-lasting battery life. Fast forward two years later, Cherry Mobile has just released a similar smartphone to the Starmobile Energy but it seems to be more powerful. And that would be the Cherry Mobile Granite.


I would like to present to you a comparison between the Starmobile Energy and the Cherry Mobile Granite.

Starmobile Energy Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich 1GHz single core processor 4-inch capacitive multitouch display 512MB of RAM 4GB of internal storage Expandable memory up to 32GB via microSD 8 megapixel rear camera VGA front camera Multimedia player/FM Radio Mobile TV WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS/A-GPS Dual SIM/Dual Standby GSM 900/1800; UMTS 2100 3G HSPA up to 7.2Mbps 2200mAh lithium-ion battery

Cherry Mobile Granite Android 4.2 Jellybean 1GHz dual core processor 4-inch capacitive multitouch display 512MB of RAM 4GB of internal storage Expandable memory up to 32GB via microSD 5 megapixel rear autofocus camera 2 megapixel front camera Multimedia player/FM Radio Mobile TV WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS/A-GPS Dual SIM/Dual Standby GSM 850/900/1800/1900; UMTS 2100 3G HSPA+ up to 21Mbps 2500mAh lithium-ion battery

Judging by the specs of these two smartphones, it seems that the Cherry Mobile Granite is more powerful than the Starmobile Energy in terms of processing power, Internet connectivity, and battery life. Although the Energy does have a more powerful rear camera than the Granite, it is an evident fact that the ladder has a much amusing front camera perfect for video calls. The only similarity between these two smartphones is the mobile TV function.

I would think that the Cherry Mobile Granite is the new version of the Starmobile Energy but more powerful and interesting. And for a price of less than P3,000, this phone would be worth buying for.
