Apart from being the first legal mobile phone brand with dual and triple Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) systems in the Philippines,[4] Cherry Mobile also marketed the first Windows-enabled phone in the country as a result of an exclusive partnership with Microsoft.[5]

In 2013 Cherry Mobile expanded its market by distributing their products in Thailand and in Myanmar.[6]

In 2015, Cosmic Technologies, along with rival mobile device company MyPhone, partnered with Google for the Android One initiative, both of them releasing their respective devices based on Google's reference designs using MediaTek's quad-core MT6582 system-on-chip.[7][8][9]

In June 2015, Cosmic Technologies announced that they will be launching two Windows Phone handsets preloaded with Windows 10 Mobile under their mobile phone brand, namely the Alpha Prime 4 and the Alpha Prime 5, which was released in the second half of 2015. Both devices came with a 1.1 GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210, support for WCDMA 900/2100, FDD-LTE B1/B3/B5/B7, and a 2 megapixel front-facing camera.
