Ready to shine bright like a Diamond? Lol
For Starmobile fans the wait is almost over! Their newest flagship smartphone the Starmobile Diamond, hits Starmobile kiosks and concept stores this weekend! Starting April 13, Saturday, you can buy the dual-core, Jelly Bean, 1GB RAM, 5-inch (HD quality) smartphone for Php9,990. Here’s a quick rundown again of the specs:
Starmobile Diamond Spec Sheet
- 1GHz Dual-core MTK6577H Processor*
- Enhanced SGXS31 GPU*
- 1GB RAM
- 4GB Internal Storage, expandable up to 32GB via microSD Card
- 5.0-inches IPS Capacitive Touchscreen with HD Resolution (720×1280)
- Dragontrail Glass (Scratch Resistant)
- 12.0-megapixels rear-facing camera with LED Flash and BSI
- 3.0-megapixels front-facing camera with BSI
- WiFi, WiFi Hotspot, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS with A-GPS Support
- Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
- 2,000mAh Battery
- Comes with free 8GB microSD Card
The main differentiator of the Diamond versus competition with almost similar specs is supposedly the enhanced CPU and GPU. This is supposed to make the device faster and better for HD quality display. However this is just theory at this point since we don’t have an actual unit to test yet. The good news though is that we expect to get our unit tomorrow so expect a barrage of posts, tests, and head-to-head comparisons over the weekend. Our episode next week of the Unbox Video Podcast will also feature a head-to-head.
To those who get to buy over the weekend please do leave your comments about the phone below. We’ll track them and mention them during the podcast on Monday. 🙂
