The VR glass or headset is free when you buy the Cherry Mobile Touch XL 2. What we don’t know is the quality of the Virtual Reality experience knowing the Touch XL has only 720p HD resolution for its 6-inch wide-screen.

Nonetheless, it seems Cherry knows how to attract budget consumers especially here in the Philippines.
