Cherry Mobile Omega Interface and Design

At the first glance, you will definitely noticed that it sports a bigger screen to project that made it to consider to join with the phablet group.It measures 5.2inches which is 0.2 bigger than the Titan. If you held it on you bare hand, it feels to big and I'm not to comfortable to grip it because of the hesitation that it might slip on my hand but for sure your hand will be trained because of your using every now and then. Now lets flip the phone at the back side, aside from the camera, flash, speaker and branding, there's nothing new with its back plate. I just like the its combination of thin and large body that make it to look stylish and sexy.

Cherry Mobile Omega Performance

Omega is powered by 1GHz dual-core processor which is enough for playing several HD Games through your phone. We are expecting that omega will be fueled by 1GB RAM which is perfect to partnered with a bigger but sad to say that they stick again to their epic 512MB RAM, but still you can play most of the heavy games but you might experienced some lags and hiccups which is an ordinary problem of most budget phones. the edge of Omega that outshines other cheap phablet is, it run with the latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean which is smoother and faster than with the ICS. Through out testing it, I haven't experienced lags except when you open a games, it open a little bit slowly.
