- We can assume from the battery capacity of 2 Lenovo phones that the Flare Mate might feature a larger battery from the 3000mAh battery of both Lenovo devices.

We can perfectly assume that all 3 phones are highly the same in many aspects, though it can also be implied that the Flare Mate is relatively pricier than the older versions of the said device. For shooters, we might expect a similar front facing shooter from the Cherry Mobile Flare Mate and might considerably expect a larger battery capacity, since, Â Cherry Mobile would likely adapt to a more larger battery capacity to maintain stability of their FHD 6-inch display. All 3 phones share a lot of likeness, such as Android versions, RAM capacities and internal storage capacities, which is understandable to say the least. Overall, the Flare Mate S has yet to be deliver more of its tricks and might still trump heavily the 2 Lenovo phones, but for now, the Fingerprint sensor of the Flare Mate is the true blue deal carrier for the Flare Mate, and truth be told, a more worthy buy than both Lenovo phones, just for that particular feature alone.
