Cherry Mobile Apollo released, sports 12mp BSI sensor

Following the release of the Flare X2 from Cherry Mobile, a phone sporting a backside illuminated sensor camera called the Apollo was released to strengthen their product line. It's main strengths are the dual 12mp camera in the back while a 5mp snapper in the front, both are BSI sensors to further increase image performance under low light situations.

Here's a quick look with the Cherry Mobile Apollo specs:

• 1.2GHz Quad-core MediaTek MT6589 processor 
  
• PowerVR SGX544 1GB RAM 
  
• 4GB internal storage expandable via a MicroSD card slot 
• 4.5-inch HD (720 x 1280) IPS display, 326 ppi
• 12.0-megapixels primary camera with LED flash and BSI 
• 5.0-megapixels secondary camera with BSI 
• Dual SIM, Dual Standby 
• HSPA+, 3G, WiFi, WiFi Hotspot, Bluetooth, A-GPS 
• 1800 mAh battery 
• Android Jelly Bean 4.2

The spec sheet is rather promising, maybe just enough to bring that Android experience to the fullest.

Hoping to grab hold of a review soon to see this "BSI smartphone ng bayan!"
