Now, which phone wins the fight?

Update:
- The MediaTek MT6577 is faster than the Qualcomm MSM8625 S4. The MT6577 is a dual-core Cortex A9 while the MSM8625 S4 is a dual-core Cortex A5. The A5 is more efficient, but peak performance the A9 beats it handily. However, it the speed difference is pretty negligible for general usage. It'll only be apparent in benchmarks and games. Thanks AnaIvanovic2!
- Cherry Mobile just released the much anticipated software update for the Cherry Mobile Flare on their service centers nationwide. The new software update (Build number: TBW592241_8572_V000031) covers the most common issues that were present in the Flare like G-sensor, SMS (auto-rotate), support for FM Radio and others.
