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. The Bright will obviously have lower specs and will pack a smaller 3.5-inch display. The Starmobile Bright is priced at Php4,990.

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.
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.
anak nung taga starmobile nagwork pa man din sa ADI sa sm cubao pero wala ring magawa o masabi….. nagpauto ako sa “salestalk”. nasa huli pagsisisi
free internet access ba yang star mobile astra? Specifically, facebook, twitter and instagram?
I think sim cards po ung may ganyang service :)

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.
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.. :)
kht naman po sa iphone or ipod ganyan din po :)
motolite nasubukan nyo na po? :)
ganyan talaga yan, walang sira kahit kita mo na bumaba ang indicator.
Tama k dyn pgktanggal ng bat 99%n lng agd
does this don’t easily break?
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.
Pede din b xa sa skype?
tlga po bang 8gb ung memory nya ?
di ko alam eh
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… :(
