Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt Striked as the Cheapest Quad-core Tablet

Four times faster and four times cheaper than popular brand quad-core Android tablets. That's the newest Cherry Mobile Android tablet unveiled by the company at Diamond Hotel Manila, Philippines. The astounding 7 inch HD Jelly Bean tablet jolted the Philippine computing tablet market when it announced that it will be priced for only Php 3,999 (US$98).

The Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt, which by the way is a rebranded Ainol Novo Venus Lite, will hit the Philippine stores this coming March 2013. Cherry Mobile made some adjustments on the Fusion Bolt by adding a different textured rear panel which is more decent compared with Ainol. They also replaced the processor with a 1.0 Ghz quad-core Actions Semiconductor Cortex-A9 instead of the 1.5Ghz ATM7029 Cortex-A9 and downsized the internal storage to 8GB from 16GB. Complete specs listed below.
