Right off the bat, we love how the Cherry Mobile Flare looks up
front with its subtle rounded corners and no visible logos or
branding. It�s a rebrand of India�s Karbonn A9+ if you�re
wondering about this phone�s roots.
The whole front is covered by glass with the 4-inch display
having nice thin side bezels. At the bottom of the display
are your four Android capacitive touch icons � Home, Menu, Back,
and Search (looked like this phone was originally made for Android
Gingerbread). You�ll also see the VGA front-facing camera on the
upper-right side.
Going through the sides, on top is just the Power/Sleep button
and the 3.5mm audio jack while on the left you�ll see the volume
rocker and the microUSB port for data and charging.
The back panel is made of hard plastic which has a soft matte
finish that wards off smudges and fingerprints. Here you�ll
see the 5 megapixel camera with flash, and the speaker grill
at the bottom. Like the Cherry Mobile Titan, the prints at
the back look like it could scrape off over time.
Pry to open the back panel and inside you will see where you
need to put your two regular SIM cards and microSD. This phone
also comes with a 1500mAh battery.
Despite the plastic build of this phone, we like the overall
feel when handling it. The girth and weight feels just right
for its size. It�s not too light to make it feel like you�re
holding a dummy phone. Actually, this phone looks simple and nice,
not premium-looking, but not bad either.
