Filipino mobile brand Starmobile has unveiled its latest affordable smartphone with a large battery – Starmobile UP Rave.

The Starmobile UP Rave joins the growing UP family of Android phones. Its main attraction is its hefty battery capacity, a department where most other Starmobile handsets struggled with.

On top of that, it’s powered by a MediaTek MT6580 chipset, Mali-450MP and 1GB of RAM. Nothing special, but enough for casual users. Tasks like browsing the web, playing games, social networking, and more can be done on this device. It’s got a 5-inch HD screen and fingerprint scanner at the back for added security.
