REMEMBER the Cherry Mobile selfie phone that actress Kim Chiu teased in the fifth episode of the Philippine company’s monthly Facebook Live session, The Cherry Mobile Show?

#RevuLive episode where we talked about Cherry OS and the new Cherry Mobile Flare S6, S6 Selfie, and S6 Plus

It’s finally official. Called the Cherry Mobile Flare S6 Selfie, the device has been launched together with two other smartphones that are part of the Flare S6 series — the Flare S6 and the Flare S6 Plus.

And as with all things Cherry, the Flare S6 Selfie is intended for the masses — those who love to take self-portraits but have limited budget. It’s priced at just P7,999 or roughly $155.

The handset boasts a 16-megapixel camera with backside illumination up front. That’s matched with the same 16-megapixel camera on the back. Below are sample selfies we took with the Cherry Mobile Flare S6 Selfie.

Powering the Cherry Mobile Flare S6 Selfie is a MediaTek 6750T octa-core chipset clocked at 1.5GHz and paired with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. It’s running Android Nougat and includes dual SIM slots, with the second being a hybrid slot that can fit either a SIM card or SD card.
