Most local phones right now that are said to be HD are actually just 720p – the minimum criteria to be considered high definition. Full HD refers to displays with a resolution of 1080p where graphics are as clear as in a wide screen TV.
The 5 inch IPS screen of Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z is protected from scratches by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. It also supports up to 5 points multi-touch input.
Aside from being the first to have a full HD display, Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z is also the first local smartphone to use the 1.5 GHz Quad Core MediaTek MT6589T Processor which is the latest product of this Chinese company.
This very fast processor is coupled with PowerVR SGX544 graphics processing unit clocked at 357Mhz for maximum Android 4.2 Jelly Bean experience.
This combo makes Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z the best Android phone fit as a gift for a friend who uses his Andoid phone heavily in gaming.
The camera of Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z makes us feel that 18MP is just easy to come up with. Like it’s just a normal feature of an Android phone.
At the back of Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z is an 18 Megapixel Autofocus camera with LED Flash and Backside Illuminated sensor for good quality photos even in a dark room.
At the front is what #selfies love – an 8 Megapixel camera with Autofocus and BSI sensor too.
RAM is not a problem with Cosmos Z. It has 1 GB of RAM for your games and other resource intensive apps.
It’s ROM or internal storage comes with 8GB of space for your pictures, music and other files. That’s a lot if you ask me. But if you want more, you can use a microSD card up to 32 GB capacity to expand your Cosmos Z’s storage capacity.
USB OTG was not mentioned but we’ll keep our hopes up.
Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z has dual 3G capability that can reach up to 42 Mbps of internet downlink speed. It’s not LTE but it’s better than the usual 3G internet speed of 7.2 Mbps – a lot better.
You can set up and connect to a WiFi network using Cosmos Z and access the internet via EDGE and GPRS when 3G access is nowhere to be found in your area.
Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z also comes with Bluetooth, GPS, FM Radio and other sensors.
Don’t worry about the battery of Cosmos Z because it has a 2,000 mAh power house that should be enough for your needs. It’s also removable and replaceable.
Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z will hit the stores someday in September with a suggested retail price of ₱11,999.00.
If I have to choose among the four Cherry Mobile Cosmos, I will definitely choose Cosmos Z. However, it’s 5 inch screen is a turn off for my cute hands. I might consider the Cosmos X2 instead. How about you?
