REVIEW: CHERRY MOBILE FUSION FIRE 10.1

This one is our company-issued tablet. So, don't expect me to download, install, and test those high-end games (...yeah right!)

OK... so I did install "some" games... but since it's an "official" gadget, I installed mostly office applications like:


  1. Google Drive - for all your files "on-the-go"
  2. Cloud Print - if you don't have your own printer at the office, set it up on the cloud!
  3. Cloud Magic - (e-mail app... you should definitely try this for corporate e-mails)
  4. Kingsoft Office - (I think this no longer comes free in the PlayStore, since it's pretty much covers everything! the Excel App is excellent! I still have the Free version, though... and it works really well! )
  5. ES Task Manager
  6. ES File Explorer
With a 10.1 inch screen, and if you have a leather case which could keep the tablet upright, it actually feels more like a "notebook" without keyboards. Viewing and editing your files and documents is very comfortable. 



This device comes with WI-FI, but doesn't come with a BLUETOOTH... <*bummer*>

Officially, we use this tablet for taking pictures for making reports and assessments. Sending e-mails, and for communication purposes. However, it does not come with a sim card slot, so communication can only be done via wi-fi internet access.

See Full Specs HERE.

Watching movies on this device is great! Just make sure you have an external speaker for better audio experience. And if you have a 16GB memory card, fill it up with movies, please! You can also use a USB device via a USB dongle (separate item).

GAMES!

Ok, so we've got this far. You can play almost any games on this tablet (except for the really high-end, high-graphics ones...) below is a list of some of the games I have, which runs smoothly on this tablet:


  1. Plants Vs. Zombies 2 - this is such an amazing puzzle game! The first game was great and kept me up most of the night, but this one is awesome! A little bit harder, but the same old excitement is there! Keep updating for newer games and levels...
  2. Turbo FAST - feels like Need for Speed, only with a Snail!
  3. Bike Xtreme - for the MotoX enthusiasts... lousy game... sorry fans!
  4. CSR - the best Drag Racing game for Android! The graphics are top notch!
  5. CSR Classics - Ever tried fixing a car from scratch? Nuff Said!
  6. Gun Bros 2 - if you shoot them, kill 'em all!
  7. Fail Hard - it's like Trial Extreme, but with a bicycle.
  8. Trial Extreme - it's like Fail Hard, but with a motorcycle (correct me if I am wrong..)
  9. Dead Trigger - it's Counter Strike with Zombies!
  10. Angry Birds GO! - It's a cool racer, a serve away from the traditional slingshot game.
  11. Banana Kong - Something to keep your fingers busy...

So far, those are some of the games I have installed on my Fusion Fire... yeap... not so many... I mean, that's not all of them... There are still some of those "keep-you-awake" games or those "fly-time-games"... but it's not worth mentioning all of them here... like that FART App! it's so funny, my son loves it, and won't let me uninstall it! (I think I listed one too many...)

In my own opinion, this device a pretty much a "house/leisure tablet". I mean, it's good for office use also, but there are just so many things you could do with it that you don't necessarily need in an office. 

It's too big to be a "hand-held" device, but too small to be a "desktop" device. Good thing it doesn't have call capabilities because it would be a very awkward-sized phone.

Some problems encountered.

During the first month, I had a problem with this device's battery heating up. Even when you turn it off, the battery would still heat up, as if it was shorted or something. The only way to cool it down was to take off the back casing, and pull off the battery's wire. But then it would heat up again whenever you turn it on. I guess it did come with a defective battery, cause when it came back from the shop, it didn't have the same problem that it had. But right now, it's working like a charm. You do need to turn off the device when its not being used. The battery drains really fast!

Overall RATING: 4 Stars!!!

A great tablet, for a very reasonable price!
