Cherry Mobile’s latest Android smartphone is a dual-SIM handset. Called the
Cherry Mobile Orbit, the unit has a suggested retail price of Php12,998 but on May 19, CM will sell it for 50% off.
The SRP doesn’t seem to be that attractive considering there are a
number of Samsung and LG Android phones in that range. However, at
Php6,499, it could convince a number of CM fans to grab one that day. That and the fact that this is a dual-SIM phone.
