| On 22, Oct 2012

Another awesome android phone called Starmobile Astra has arrived in the Philippine shores. This smartphone made waves throughout the social networking site Facebook because of its nice specs and affordable price. Starmobile is a new comer in the Philippine mobile market but they already have a slew of android devices in just a small span of time.

The Astra is Starmobile’s very first android phone but it will soon have it little brother when its manufacturer releases an entry-level called as the Starmobile Bright.

Starmobile Astra Price in the Philippines

The most awaited part of the mystery behind the Starmobile Astra is its price. Starmobile already announced its official price and the Astra can soon be bought for only Php6,990. If you’re tight on budget and you want a good android phone, then this device can be a choice but you can also look at MyPhone A878 and MyPhone A898 because they also have good set of specs and features for the same price.

    1500mah battery??? Starmobile are you kidding me?? with 4.3 screen and a tv functionality, i dont think it will last a day.

    • graxia

      it doesn’t.. :(

    • caloy

      Note that the battery of the iPhone 5 is just 1440 mAh

  • busngak

    oo nga naman Inday… isa sa dahilan bakit mabilis ma mag low bat ang cellphone ay dahil sa mga open aplications at screen resolution…baka pag nag-open k ng kahit camera lng na may flush ay ma low bat kaagad…

    • http://www.itzperzonal.info/ Emp Martinez

      pwd naman downloadan un ng mga apps na auto kill sa mga open apps na di ginagamit like advance task killer.

      • pocoyo

        ako nag shot lang ng cam lowbat agad LOL

  • http://www.itzperzonal.info/ Emp Martinez

    ok din pala spec ng star mobile affordable pa ang presyo I’ve been using samsung android phones before and now im using alcatel, when reading your blog i was thinking to try star mobile. nice post Adam.

  • godo

    starmobile better come up with extended battery for this one, ala sgs, sgn, hmm.. buyers then won’t have second thoughts purchasing astra over its competitor

  • http://www.facebook.com/jacobmakaveli24 Eleuterio Adora

    IPS po ba ang screen nito?

  • ROLAND SAVELLANO

    magandang pang giveaway yan…

  • Blue

    Hindi ako mahihiyang ipromote ang Starmobile sa friends ko.. I’ve been using it.. And parang your also using Andorid or Iphone.. Ang pinagkaiba lang talaga is the affordable price of Starmobile.. I’m a fan of other brand of phone and I’m always telling na that’s the best until Starmobile came. :)

  • xhae05

    I have this brand. Much preferred than myphone and cherry. mas cool!

  • iamwhoiam

    i bought starmobile astra last dec 2012, 2 weeks after ung touch screen kusa ng nagto-touch :D , I returned it and after 1 week (sa main pa daw kc papalitan sabi nung stall) napalitan ng brand new..so im very happy naman dahil may nagagamit na uli akong cp,,,after a week naisipan kong i-try ung tv, badtrip “hardware initialization failed” naman!!! ano ba naman yan, walang katapusang sira… :(

  • http://twitter.com/trishakarylleya trisha karylle yap

    tlga po bang 8gb ung memory nya ?

    • JP Garmay

      di ko alam eh

  • Khel30

    Pede din b xa sa skype?

  • brian

    get a trash can and throw those tv features and slap a 1280×800 resolution. kasi un pa ang dahilan kung bakit tataas ang price, kung maaari pati nadin ung dual sim features baka maging 3500-3999 ang price nito kung wala ang mnga features na yon.

  • anon123

    does this don’t easily break?

  • graxia

    maganda kung maganda yung phone.. nakakairita lang yung battery.. kakatanggal mo plang from charging may bawas na kagad??? hindi ba pwedeng makapagtext man lang muna?? hope maglabas sila sa market ng battery that will last much longer.. :)

    • NaBoyetDre?

    1.
    Di ako satisfied with starmobile astra. I bought one this February
    2013 but after 3 days it went crazy and just ‘self- scrolled’ according to the
    words of my seller Comworks. It went out of control like someone is using it.
    Every icon on the right side just kept popping out. So my dealer changed it
    with another new one but after 5 days the same problem came out but this time
    it ‘self- scrolled’ on the left side. It’s like somebody is playing and
    touching on every icon lined up on the left side. Sadly and unfortunately, the
    seller can change ‘daw’ my phone with a brand new one- only once within the
    prescribed 7-day period. So, this time I had to surrender the phone to my
    dealer and they in turn will send the phone back to the manufacturer to avail
    of the one- year free service warranty. Meanwhile, I have to wait for the phone
    within 3-4 weeks so the starmobile company can have it evaluated and fixed.
    What a hassle. Remember I was able to use the phone (2 brand new astra phones)
    for a total of only approx. 12 days and the same problems appeared within the
    period. And now I have to wait for about a month to have it fixed. My wife and
    I now tell every acquaintance of ours not to buy starmobile products. One of
    the reasons I bought the phone was because it is Philippine-made as mentioned
    in the local TV show Future Perfect.

    sorry but i hate starmobile astra na nabili ko february 2013. within 1 week na nabili ko may kakaibang light sa right lower corner. pinalitan, then within 3 weeks nag automatic shutdown, every 30 minutes, name it. nung isinoli ko sa sm cubao ADI cellphone retailer, ipapaayos daw sa service center. pero sa ngayun daw naglilipat sila ng gamit or office sa pasig capitol…. dami dahilan….. hindi masabi ano sira or papalitan pa ba ng new unit. huwag po tayo agad maniwala sa magandang features at murang price….. prang yung endorser ng starmobile….. palingkera….. pati cell sira sira.

  • jose mari

    Hi, huwag kayo magtiwala sa starmobile astra. last
    January 2013, first week, bumili ako ng unit sa ADI, L/F ng SM cubao,
    nirecommend ng OIC ng store. maganda daw, etc. within 1 week nagkaroon ng dead
    pixel. pinalitan ng new unit, then before mag 1 month nag automatic shotdown,
    every 10 minutes and so often. ibinalik ko ng last week ng February, until now
    wala pang action ang starmobile company, kahit nagtatrabaho pa yung anak ng
    taga starmobile sa ADI…. buisit sila…. napakabagal umaksyon at ewan kung papalitan
    pa nila….. nasayang yung PhP 6,900.00 ko….. Kahapon, March 15, bumalik ako sa
    store…. wala pa daw balita…..

    • jose mari

      ibinalik ng starmobile yung unit last March 16 sa ADI sa LGF ng SM Cubao, ayun nag automatic shutdown pa rin. Napakagandang gawa ng Pinoy….. what will happen to my PhP 6,900.00?

  • jose mari

    the worst cellphone I’ve ever bought……. wala pang 1 month after mabili ko sa ADI LGF ng SM Cubao last January 2013, ayun nag automatic shutdown. ibinalik ko para magawa ng last wk February, ibinalik ng March 16, 2013, ayun nag automatic shutdown pa rin… before that, after a week na bumili ako ng starmobile astra ay may malaking kakaibang ilaw (deadpixel yata tawag dun) yung unang unit, pinalitan naman ng new unit… kaso itong bagong unit nag automatic shutdown….. proud to be Philippine made nga ba? saying na PhP 6,900+.00

    • NaBoyetDre?

      base sa mga sinabi mo .. lahat nmn ng phones pg nilalabas minsan may defects wla pong perfect system :) bka malas ka lng :3

      • ewan mcgreggy

        Jose mari, hindi ka nagiisa. bumili din kami ng Astra dun sa ADI noong march. after ng isang linggo, nagloko bigla yung phone na parang possessed at open ng open ng mga apps at hindi nagrerespond ang I,K at M sa qwerty. Binalik namin sa ADI para ipagawa sa Starmobile. Nakalagpas na ng isang buwan, hindi sila magkusang magupdate sa min, kami pa ang nangungulit pero ang sagot nila HINDI NILA ALAM kung ano ang status ng unit namin! Kung hindi kami nagpunta dun at nagalburuto sa tindahan nila, hindi ata sila magaaksyon. Ngayon, parating na daw yung unit na pinalitan na ang motherboard at makukuha na namin. GOODLUCK, kundi !#%x?@ …

    • JP Garmay

    I’ve been using my starmobile astra since december. love the cam! pati friends ko love din ang cam ng astra. it lags lalo na kapag puno ng apps. it has it’s ups and downs but worth it at less than 7k compared to the samsung S duo which is twice it’s price with almost the same specs.

    • JUN

      TRUE!

    Well, I never have bought a star mobile phone before, so I can’t make a personal review out of it. But I just wanted to help people out there wanting to have android phones but can’t afford the expensive ones

    First and foremost, you’re not paying for the android software. It’s open source. Google’s not earning from that either. So an expensive android device seems impractical, right?
    Wrong. If it’s not obvious yet, you’re paying for parts. Cheap phones = cheap parts, less wage on workers (less “devoted” workers. what, money’s the reason why they work, right?). This sacrifices stability, performance, and longevity. You get what you pay for I guess.

    I know many of you would say you’d rather buy a cheap one. But I believe it’s better to earn up and invest in a more expensive one, even with similar specs. You get the promise that it will last long. That’s why you paid for it in the first place, to make sure you invested on something worth your hard earned money. Trust me. The only reason expensive things get replaced is because people gets sick of them, due to them lasting long.

    I myself own a Samsung phone. It doesn’t have the same specs as the Astra has, but I believe it’s performing quite well. I already have it for 2 years. It may not seem much, but compare that to what you get for having cheap phones.
    I have dropped it at considerable heights, and it’s still performing exceptionally well.

    If you suffer from battery loss, I suggest you download a task manager off the Play Store. It’s free anyway, and a good one saves up your battery quite nicely.

    As for those regarding the 3G, if I am not mistaken, you need to have your settings first. Once you have that, or if you already have that, turn on the packet data or mobile network. That’s the 3g or HSDPA. It’s in settings, then wireless networks, if not in the drop down thingy.
