Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt vs. Haipad A13 8GB Android Tablet Complete Technical Specifications Comparison Table!
"How does Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt compare against other tablets in its price category?"
That's probably the question I've been asked most often ever since I graced Cherry Mobile's invite for the official unveiling of their first ever Quad Core slate last February 18 at the Diamond Hotel in Manila and posted photos from the event on my blog.
Just a side note: I'm actually surprised at how well my Cherry Mobile posts are doing traffic-wise. CM and its Android releases are truly on a roll these days. I mean, a lot of Pinoys just want to know more about the company's smartphones and tablets and I'm glad they're finding the information they need on TechPinas.
The truth is, Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt will enter the market with very few real competition - in terms of popularity or otherwise - in its borderline Php 4,000 price echelon. There's one from E-Tech, one from KNC, and a couple from another local manufacturer -- but I don't think CM's new slate will have any trouble attracting consumers away from those. Nevertheless, it will still have to face one strong competitor, the Haipad A13, which happens to be the best-selling Android tablet in local online stores last year by a mile, according to some of my friends working in that industry.
Haipad is a product of Shenzhen Haina Digital Technology Co. Ltd. based in Hong Kong, a company that specializes in creating and marketing highly-affordable Android tablets. If Cherry Mobile Fusion were to be a true best-seller, it will have to beat this.
Following the success of the sub Php 3,000 4GB variant, the Chinese electronics manufacturer recently released an 8GB version donning a slightly higher SRP. You can now get Haipad A13 8GB at Lazada for a discounted price of only Php 3,489 -- making it, as I mentioned, a direct competitor to the Php 3,999 Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt when the quad core slate becomes available on March 6, 2013.
Earlier, I created this head-to-head technical specifications table of the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt versus Haipad A13 8GB for everyone who's emailed, DM'd, and tweeted me that question and to help you decide which pocket-friendly tablet to get if you're currently scouting for one. I'll also compare Fusion Bolt with other similarly priced tablets in the coming days but let's start with this one, alright?
The reading of the table is pretty straightforward. Clearly, when it comes to technical specifications - which include display type and resolution, processor, RAM, Android OS version, and battery size - Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt slays Haipad A13 8GB. The question is, will this translate to big sales for Cherry Mobile? That remains to be seen.
