Starmobile has taken the wraps off of its latest smartphone. Jam-packed with the latest touch features, the new, intuitive Starmobile Turbo is a 5-inch smartphone running on Android 4.4 KitKat for Php6,990.

Just like with the smartphones Up and Sky, the Starmobile Turbo features several of the company’s smart gestures. For one, there’s the double-tap gesture to the screen to unlock/lock the phone. For another, you can use 2 or 3 fingers to perform gestures for specific commands. You can even draw patterns to launch apps.

Further software treats found in the Starmobile Turbo include call and text filtering to prevent unwanted communication from reaching you, a battery saving feature that limits background activity and data connection, and smart camera controls to take shots by using taps or voice. There are also wireless printing, app-to-SD transfer, and USB On-the-Go (OTG) support.
