What this hardware actually means
Editorial interpretation generated from the device's self-reported fields and our SoC tier database. Cross-reference with the raw fields below; if you spot a contradiction, please tell us.
Platform & performance positioning
The cherry Flare_S4 is built around the MT6735, a legacy flagship — capable in its day, now superseded from MediaTek. It launched in 2014 on a TSMC 28nm HPC process. Mid-2010s 4-core 4G SoC, the engine of hundreds of low-cost Android handsets.
Legacy. Most apps will install but run slowly; banking and DRM apps usually refuse.
Day-to-day workload
3 GB LPDDR3_1600 of RAM is below the realistic minimum for current Android — expect Android to aggressively kill background apps. Display resolution is 1280x720.
This record reflects Android API level 25 (7.1). Android 7 or older — effectively retired; very few modern apps will run, and Google Play Services support is limited.
Trust & buying notes
If you're cross-checking a phone advertised as a cherry Flare_S4, the fields most worth verifying are: Build.MANUFACTURER lowercase-equal to "meizu"; Build.SOC_MODEL set (Android 12+) and consistent with MT6735. For an automated check, run our Hardware Trust Score from the DevCheck AI app and compare its output against this entry.
Because this entry runs Android 7.1, treat it as a reference for older inventory: refurb shops sometimes flash old firmware to make a device look "stock," so a modern build date with this API level is a red flag.
