The only noticeable difference in the specifications is that the Bursts processor is clocked 200 MHz lower than the Flare. Still, this phone still does a very respectable 6,100+ points in the Antutu Benchmark.

The Burst is more stylish and modern looking than the Flare, and uses the three button Android 4.x format. The Flare uses the older Android 2.x four button format. 

The Burst is also being offered at the same price point as the Flare, at just Php3,999. I am not sure if the Burst will be sold along side the Flare of will replace the Flare. If both are available,
