Cherry Mobile's Octa-Core 7 Inch Tablet at PHP 8999

Are you looking for a tablet this Christmas?  Then look no further Cherry Mobile recently offer a big discount on their Cherry Mobile Superion Frontier 7 at PHP 8,999.

The Superion Frontier houses a 7 inch Scratch-Resistant IPS LCD Display. Powering the device is a 1.7GHz Octa-Core (Mediatek 6592?) Processor supported by 2GB RAM and 16GB Internal Storage. Storage expansion via MicroSD up to 32GB. Runs the Latest Android 4.4 KitKat.

An 8MP primary rear camera with LED Flash and 2MP Front for its optical features. Accordingly it is a Dual-Sim device so it has Phone and Messaging Functionality. No connectivity has been listed but at its price range, I be willing to bet on having the standard WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS including HSPA+/3G Connectivity. Miracast is supported for projecting wireless to an external display. My only concern is for its size, the 3300mAh might be a little underwhelming but it sure depends on usage besides you can opt for a powerbank.

For 8,999.00, a Tablet with Phone Functions as well as with Octa-Core Processor is sure is a steal. With addition of 2 RAM and high pixel Dual Cameras, Superior Frontier will be hard to resist and will attract more power hungry consumers.
