Dual-Core phones are you would almost call as the Android norm these days, as most manufacturers (and apps) are moving onto more powerful devices. Prices have definitely gone down to where these flagships are now below the PHP 20k mark -- a feat that would have seemed impossible just months before. One of the first few devices that graced the price range with a dual-core device was Cherry Mobile's Magnum 2X -- announced late last year and now being offered for a price of PHP 14,999. (We believe its on sale for PHP 11,999 right now though, which is great.) For that money, you'll be getting the aforementioned Dual-Core 1Ghz processor, 3.8" 800×480 screen, 5MP Camera (no flash), VGA front camera, and all running under Android 2.3 Gingerbread (it used to come with 2.2 Froyo). We'll be hooking you guys up with a review of this device soon but for now, check out our video unboxing here.
