It has been years seen the last time I really bought a mobile phone. If I remember it right, the last phone I bought was my Nokia N70. I had postpaid account afterwards which I renewed every 2 years which means a new phone every 2 years. But then my hazard pay was reduced from 30% down (#hugot) to 23% then became 15% this year, so I decided to just gave up my postpaid plan. So I was using my old phone for quite sometime now and decided to just buy a new one.
Good camera is one of the things I look in a phone but affordability is the number one on my list : )
After reading some reviews, I initially planned and almost bought Huawei P9 Lite (but what I really want was Huawei P8). But when we went to Huawei shop, hubby won't allow me to buy it because he said there will be no parts available if ever my phone will be damaged. So I just gave up the idea of buying a Huawei phone.
Then finally, without planning at all, I ended up buying Cherry Mobile Flare S4 Max when I dropped by at a Cherry Mobile shop in Monumento. The sales agent said it was a recent addition to their Flare series. Anyways, what I really like about the phone is that it can last longer (3 days regular of regular use e.g. sms, call as per their agent).
I have been using my Cherry Mobile Flare S4 Max for more than a week now and honestly, I am starting to like it. At first, I was not very happy with its camera but learned that it is just that I was not using it properly.
Its battery would last a day or two and I like it. I browse the net all the time so I really expect that the battery won't last a day, but it does. It has been a while since the last time I charge my phone at night since its battery can last until the next day.
Fortunately, my browsing experience became faster than when I was still using my old phone. It has bigger display which is 5.5 inches.
