A couple of reasons why you should NOT buy Firefly or Cherry Mobile phones

A couple of reasons why you should NOT buy Firefly mobile or Cherry Mobile products:

1. They seldom reply to support questions or resolve these, especially after sales support.

2. Their products are made from known manufacturers - Some times those parts are 3rd grade and discarded by the manufacturers for their own products, but bought by companies making cheap cellphones.

3. The battery can't be replaced, but that is true for many phones. Then again the ones I have had, seemed to get not so good to hold power after the warranty had expired.

4. You can't get repair by 3rd party repair shop, because there are no service parts! Example: The company made 100.000 phones, sold them all, should any fail and they have to replace them they have to make a new phone  every time. The don't make service parts to do repair, replacing the phone is cheaper than repair. But out of warranty, then you are screwed as they are not going to make a new phone just to replace yours - they just don't reply to your after sale support request!

If that is not enough reason for you, then go ahead and buy a phone from them. They do make good(not so good quality) products, they just don't last that long time, could be the 3rd grade parts reason.

I bought a super great phone Intense Desire, until it were NOT.

The screen died 2 years after I bought it. Most other known brands last a lot longer than 2 years.

It started with 1mm in the left side of the touchscreen, that didn't react to touch, then spread to half the screen - this after the suplied tempered glass overheated the screen. So again another good advice, don't apply the tempered glass as it is of such quality that it overheats the screen. Nice job Firefly!

So the reason its cheap, is most likely inferior parts,which cost a third of what 1st grade parts cost.

I worked 33 years as an IT Consultant, so this is not news to me, I`ve seen it in Compaq, HP, Dell, Neo, Cleo, Cherry Mobile and other products before!

You would just think that some of these companies would learn, and make cheap, but good quality products instead, and then make a good name for themselves.

Next time: What's wrong with OPPO, Vivo, One Plus, Cherry Mobile, Huawei, Lenovo, Samsung and other flagship phone manufacturers products?
