The Cherry Mobile Flare S6 Plus is the company’s first 18:9 (aspect ratio) display and first quadruple camera (16MP+5MP front and rear) flagship. The S6 Plus’s 5.7-inch display has, like the Vivo V7+, an HD+ resolution but, unlike the P17,990 V7+, only has a P9,999 price tag. The S6 Plus is (as of this post) the lowest priced Android with an 18:9 display (the LG Q6 is priced at P12,990) with HiFi audio. Meanwhile the Flare S6 Selfie has 16MP front and rear Samsung S5K3P3 f/2.0 sensor cameras, a 5.2-inch Full HD display, HiFi audio, and a P7,999 price tag. The entry level member of the Flare S series has a Type C port and 700 MHz LTE connectivity – the 5.2-inch (HD display) P3,999 Flare S6.

Both front and rear 16MP cameras of the Flare S6 Selfie feature monochrome, bokeh, and face beauty modes (see camera UI above). While the inclusion of Samsung camera sensors and the price may be impressive on paper, the S6 selfie has a smallish 2,600 mAh battery. We’ll see how it fares in our full review (preceded by our unboxing session).
The Flare S6 Selfie and S6 are differentiated, primarily, by the placement of the fingerprint sensor. See below.
