The Samsung Galaxy Core is for the people who are looking for a 4.3-inch phone with a Dual-Sim and processor with a just-so-right 1.2 GHz Dual-Core processor. Aside from that, the smartphone will be having a 8 GB internal memory and a 1 GB of RAM. That hardware features would be good for your multi-tasking needs.

Cherry Mobile Fusion Fusion Bolt Review

Who doesn’t love a tablet? Affordable Android tablets are popping out from nowhere from different companies. That is just one of the factors why there are a lot of people have tablets. One of those affordable tablets that is making a buzz here in the Philippines is the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt. Yep that’s the most affordable quad-core tablet in the Philippines. Do you still remember the press launch that I attended a few weeks ago? It is now available in different Cherry Mobile Stores. The one that we got in the press launch has a prototype firmware that’s why it took some time before I posted the review. Want to know more about the tablet? Check out the review after the break.

Hardware
The Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt doesn’t have the best body construction but it isn’t that bad either. It’s made up of plastic with a diamond shape textures at the back. (Shine bright like a Diamond!) And it isn’t matte. It is just plain ol plastic. A little bit disappointing but at least, there’s no moving parts that might ruin that tablet very soon. The Tablet is made for landscape mode because of the placement of the camera but of course, you could still use the tablet at portrait mode.
The Cherry Mobile Fusion bolt’s Power button, Home button and Volume are place at the top back of the tablet (In landscape mode) but I really had a hard time pressing it at first because the button lacks some elevation from the body. On the right side of the tablet, you can find the MicroSD Card slot that can handle up to 32 GB, the Mini HDMI, 3.5mm Audio Jack, Micro USB Slot and the charging slot.
 I always use the Mini HDMI for watching movies on our HDTV. Mini HDMi to HDMI cables aren’t that expensive, it will only cost you at around 120-150 at CD-R King. I didn’t have problems with connecting my Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt to the HDTV. But the Micro-USB was a disappointment to me since I can’t connect my USB OTG in it. Maybe my unit has a defect. So you could say goodbye to your USB Flash drives now. Oh and you may kiss your Bluetooth speakers goodbye too because the Fusion Bolt doesn’t have a Bluetooth. Speaking of speakers, I can say that for its price, the sound quality of the tablet is acceptable for its price. But I praise the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt for having a slim profile a small bezel. Another thing that I like with the FuBo (Yes, It may sound wrong but it means Fusion Bolt) is that it’s very light and very portable. It even fits in my back pocket by I wouldn’t suggest to put that in your pocket because you might sit on it.
The display was of the strengths of this tablet.  It is just a 7-inch tablet but it has a resolution of 1280×800. Not bad for a tablet with a price tag of P4,000. The display is crisp but sunlight legibility wasn’t that good. But the 7-inch display was really great for reading E-Books and browsing the Internet. I also love to E-Books on the screen. It’s not the best screen in a 7-inch tablet but it exceeded my expectations for a P4,000 tablet.
The battery wasn’t that disappointing. Most tablets on this price range have a battery life of less than 5 hours. The Cherry Mobile Fusion tablet was able to manage 8-9 hours of battery life on average use. I was also able to watch 2-3 movies while on HDMI. Again, not bad for a P4,000 tablet.
Camera
There’s nothing special about the camera. The Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt has a 2 MP Rear camera and a VGA front camera. Both can be used as a camera for taking a video and picture. It can also be used for video call but the quality isn’t that great. I don’t really recommend this tablet for taking photos even at well-lit environment. There’s no auto focus so don’t expect that you could do Macro Shots in here. I already expect those things on a 7-inch tablet with a price like this. But hey, at least there’s two camera on the tablet. Take a look at the pictures that I took using the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt:

Here’s a video that I took using the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt. It is recorded in HD. The framerates wasn’t that good but at least, the tablet can record in HD.  The video quality hen recording videos at low light is very disappointing too. Take a look at my video sample here:

Software: 
Here’s the most exciting part of our review of the Cherry Mobile Fusion tablet. The Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt is powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and as expected, it gave the tablet a fast and smooth transitions. But it wasn’t fast as I expected.
The Quad-Core processor of the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt tablet raises too many questions. Does this Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt’s Quad core processor can topple off the other processor in the market? Unfortunately, Antutu wouldn’t work on the device.  But Quadrant worked well. Check out the benchmarks:
Don’t expect too much on the Quad-Core processor of the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt. It may be a Quad-Core processor but its performance is just like a Dual-Core processor. Some of the heavy games like GTA: Vice City and Dead Trigger worked on the device but you won’t get a very fast frame rates on these games. You will have no problem regarding HD videos because the Cherry Mobile Fusion tablet can play your 1080p videos even you you connected your tablet to your 1080p HDTV. 
The Quad-Core processor was disappointing. It doesn’t live up to my expectations.. But in spite of that, why would you complain on the performance if the price of the tablet is just P4,000!. The performance of this tablet is far better off than most of the tablets in that price range
Verdict
The Fusion Bolt lacks a lot of features including the support for USB OTG and Bluetooth. The Quad-Core processor isn’t as fast as I expected too. This is not the best tablet in the market right now but this is certainly the best tablet at P4,000. If you’re the type of person who loves to browse the internet, check your Facebook and Twitter and watch the latest Koreanovelas or movies on your MicroSD then this tablet would be great for you. I don’t really recommend this for heavy gaming but this tablet could play some decent and not so demanding games. Oh and I’ve been using this tablet this tablet ever since for watching the latest HD movies that I downloaded.
This fly is even interested on buying a Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt because of its price.

Get the Samsung Galaxy S4 at Globe My Super Plan now!

P4291089
P4291089

The Samsung Galaxy S4. Wooohooo!

The most awaited Galaxy is now here in the Philippines. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has now arrived at Globe and you can now avail it for as low as P1599 monthly at their award winning fully-customizable postpaid plans. For P1,599 a month, that’s on Globe’s My Super Plan 999 plus the P600 cashout.  Of course, you’ll be locked in into a 24-month contract period. In that Plan, you could already get Unlimited LTE surfing that is up to 42 mbps theoretically. The real life speeds that could get with LTE is at around 10-20mbps. Not bad, that is still faster than my broadband at home but of course, this is still under the FUP of Globe which caps you at 800 MB per day. But are you interested with Samsung Galaxy S4? Check it out after the break. 

Like what I’ve said earlier, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is available at Globe My Super Plan 999 but if you don’t think that plan fits for you and you want something affordable then you can opt for a lower plan but still have an affordable monthly cashouts. Not bad right.? Check it out here:
But of course, if you have a lots of money to spare for Globe then you can avail the Platinum plans that enables you to have a free Samsung Device when you sign up for a 2 year contract. Yes folks, at Plan 3799 subscribers will get a free Samsung Galaxy S3 mini while you’ll get a free Samsung Galaxy Camera at Plan 5000. But if you really don’t know what to do with your money and you want to just spend it on a Samsung Galaxy device then head over to the Plan 10000 which will give you a free Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Another thing that I like in here is that you can choose the contract periods from 6 months to 30 months. Which made it more flexible to you. But of course, the shorter the contract, the more expensive it will be.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is available in White frost and Black Mist. Samsung called it as a Life Companion (but she’s not our wife!).  The Samsung Galaxy S4 from Globe will be powered by 1.9 GHz Snapdragon 600 Processor and it boasts a 5-inch HD Super AMOLED screen. The camera was also upgraded to 13 MP from 8 MP of SGS3. 
If you are interested at Globe’s Samsung Galaxy S4 then you better check out it out now at www.globe.com.ph/galaxys4. The newest Samsung Galaxy smartphone will be available in Globe Stores nationwide starting May 2, 2013.

Nokia Launches Nokia Lumia 720 and Lumia 520 in the Philippines

0

Last Friday, Nokia Philippines introduced their new Lumia lineup for the Philippine market. The current lineup now includes the whole slew of numbers starting from the 520 all the way up to 920. (Forming the poker equivalent of a Lumia straight). All of the Nokia Windows Phone 8 is finally here in the Philippines and all of them are available in Nokia stores. Yes, they launched the sexy, slim and chic Nokia Lumia 720 and the Nokia Lumia 520 for the budget minded folks. Nokia Lumia 920 was also seen and launched in the event. If anyone checked out my YouTube page then you might have seen the Nokia Lumia 920 Hands-on. I featured the Nokia Lumia 920 on my show. Anyway, if you want to know more about the Nokia Lumia 720 and Nokia Lumia 520 then check it out after the break!


Nokia Lumia 520

It’s the cheapest Windows Phone 8 in the Philippine market right now. It might be affordable but the Nokia Lumia 520 can still run your favorite Nokia apps and games as long as the RAM can handle it. The Nokia Lumia 520 is still fast just like its Windows Phone brothers but there are some things that you might now like about it like the lack of LED flash. But hey, the phone comes with Here maps. IMO, It’s the best navigational app. The Nokia Lumia 520 is available in different colors and it is now available with the SRP of PHP 7,990

Nokia Lumia 720

The Nokia Lumia is a midrange smartphone that packs a sexy slim profile and a lightweight body but still able to retain its long lasting battery and fast & fluid performance. The Nokia Lumia 720 also packs a 6.7 Megapixel BSI Camera which is great at low-light conditions. It isn’t as good as the Nokia Lumia 920 but it is still great at low light conditions. Another great thing about the Nokia Lumia 720 is the 2000 mAh battery that can last up to more than a day of average-heavy use. And yes, we featured the Nokia Lumia 720 last Saturday at the Big Time Show. I had the Nokia Lumia 720 for a week and I’ll post the review of it soon. The Nokia Lumia 720 has an SRP of P14,590.

Nokia Lumia 920

It’s the best Windows Phone smartphone from Nokia. I’ve been using this phone for weeks now and I’m quite happy with it. The Nokia Lumia 920 packs a 8.7 Megapixel Carl Zeiss PureView Camera (I don’t know which came first. the Pureview or the Carl Zeiss LOL) and it is the current flagship phone of Nokia! Watch for my full review of the phone here at JAM Online! It is now available for P24,950

Braven 570 Bluetooth Speaker Review

WP 20130421 010
WP 20130421 010

Sometimes it’s really hard to depend on speakers of our devices when we’re watching the latest episode of The Walking Dead (unfortunately, we have to wait until October!) or whenever we’re listening to our favorite playlist on our iTunes. Mobile devices are becoming our all-in-one entertainment device but its audio isn’t enough to keep us entertain that’s why some people opt to buy a speaker. And if you’re the type of guy who has some money to spare then why don’t you get a Bluetooth speaker?. When it comes to Bluetooth speakers, Braven is one of the known brands in that market. And what I got here is the entry-level Bluetooth speaker from Braven, the Braven 570. Check out how the Braven 570 fares in my review.

Hardware and Features

The Braven 570 looks like the Braven 600 except that the Braven 570 has a tone down hardware which made it an entry level Bluetooth speaker from Braven. The Braven 570 is made up of plastic compared to the aluminum body of Braven 650.  Which made the Bluetooth speaker lighter than ever. But that doesn’t mean that the Braven 570 isn’t durable. The body of the Braven 570 doesn’t feel cheap even though it is made up of plastic. Although there’s a hollow feeling whenever I tap the top part of the Braven 570.But that wasn’t really an issue for me. I still like its minimalistic design. It really fits on modern day interior households.

One of its unique features is the ability to charge devices using the USB port on the Braven 570.  It’s quite useful but the battery of the Braven 570 is only rated at 1200mAh. It can’t fully charge your iPod touch or your iPhone especially my Samsung Galaxy S III which has a battery rated at 2100mAh. But at least, the speaker can be use as a power bank whenever your device is at low batt. Don’t get confused! There’s a USB port for the charging of your phone and there’s the Micro-USB for charging the Braven 570. The 1200mAh battery of the Braven 570 is expected to have you a 10 hours of battery life but I only manage to have 7-9 hours of battery life.

The Braven 570 can play and stream your audio either on 3.5mm audio jack or using Bluetooth. I prefer using the latter. I mostly use it on wireless mode and I didn’t have too much problems when I’m transferring the device connected to Braven a room apart. I tried using my Mac, Windows Phone, Android and iOS devices and none of them had a problem except my Windows 8 tablet. That’s why I have to use the 3.5mm jack for my Windows 8 Tablet.

Aside from being a speaker and a charger, the Braven 570 could also be use as a hands-free speakerphone for phone when you’re connected to your device. You can even answer the phone using the call button on the Braven 570. A nice feature that you can’t found on most Bluetooth speakers.

Performance

The Braven 570 might be an entry level Bluetooth speaker but it performs very well and above my expectations. The 6W output speaker is already enough liven up your condo or your hotel room. The Braven 570 is really great for listening to your favorite music or podcast especially when you use it wirelessly.

Like what I’ve said earlier, I seldom use the 3.5mm jack and I mostly use it wirelessly with my different handheld devices.  The sounds are pleasing to my ear. The bass are just great to hear. I tried different genre and types of songs. I’ve also used different Flacs, Mp3s and Apple Lossless files for these and listening to the Braven 570. The quality is just balanced even at maximum volume, the Braven 570 didn’t fail to enjoy my listening on my newest playlist.

You might not notice the difference between listening wirelessly and using the audio jack if you’re not the audiophile type of guy. But of course, it would still depend on the device that you use and the file that you’re playing.

Verdict

This is just an entry level Bluetooth speaker but it doesn’t fail to impress me. The plastic build quality was a downgrade from its bigger brothers but it wasn’t really a deal breaker because the Braven 570 is still solid and durable. I was only disappointed by its battery life as it can only manage up to 7-9 hours of battery life. I still recommend the Braven 570 if you want an entry level Bluetooth speaker but be wary of the short battery life of the Bluetooth speaker. The Braven 570 is now available at Astrovision, Digital Hub, Beyond the Box, Digital Walker, iCenter, Power Hub, iStudio, Switch, Odyssey, Quick Sound, Buzz, and SM Appliance for Php 4,450 and it is available in blue, green, purple, red, white and black. Why don’t you get one now at the nearest stores?

RATING: 4/5

FAQs

Q: Koya Jam, maganda po ba ang speaker na yan?
A: Yes, I recommend this Bluetooth speaker if you have the moolah$$$

Q: Koya Jam, gagana po ba ang featurephones?
A: I haven’t tested it but it will work.

A: Yes po.

Q: Magpaparaffle ka ba nyan Koooya Jam?
A: 🙁 Hindi po kaya ng powers ko :(.

Q: Bibilhin ko na po ba Koya JAM?
A: OO NAMAN!!!

Thanks Johann Fojas for helping me in this review!

E Leksyon 2013
Mr. James Jimenez of COMELEC and the Bitoopi team of Smart DevNet

With just a few days left till the Election 2013 here in the Philippines, it’s better that we are educated and we know what are the things that we should and we shouldn’t do in the upcoming elections. And thanks to COMELEC and Bitoopi, the developers of the E-Leksyon app from Smart DevNet. Aside from the mobile app, there’s also the website that does the same thing. The Bitoopi team along with COMELEC developed this app for free so don’t worry anything about it. Too bad it’s only available for iOS and not on Android. But don’t worry about it that much because an Android or a Windows Phone application will be coming on the next elections. Yeah, I know. This app is a bit late but hey, at least this would be useful for the next presidential elections. Check out the app after the break.

The E-Leksyon 2013 app features a simulation of filling out a simple ballot. A great way to educate the youth on how to vote. Of course, they’ll be restricting you if you voted more than the allowed number of votes per position. Not only that, my favorite feature of this app is you can view your precint and other infos by just typing in your name and your birthday. The mobile app also allows you to report violations made by politicians. Awesome app for the upcoming elections right?

If you want to check out the website, check it out at report.mycomelec.tv but if you have an iOS device then better check the Apple iTunes app store for the e-Leksyon 2013 app. There’s no Android version as of this posting but it will be announced soon. Why don’t you check out the iTunes app store and get the app or just check out their website?.

CloudFone Excite 400D Specifications and Price in the Philippines: The P4,499 Dual-Core Jelly Bean Smartphone!

CloudFone Thrill 400D
CloudFone Thrill 400D

Oh we love the CM Flare so much for having a much affordable price but that phone didn’t have a competitor at that price range. Well actually, there are phones that are at around P4,000-P5,000 but none of them can actually compete with the specifications of the CM Flare because of its WVGA display, Android 4.0 OS and the Dual-Core Snapdragon processor. But Cloudfone has released their new phone that would compete in that price range. The specifications are pretty similar to the CM Flare except that the Cloudfone Excite 400D is powered by a MediaTek processor running on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean which made the phone smooth as butter. The phone also sports a very slim design but this comes with a much smaller battery. Check out more about it after the break.
