Starmobile has unleashed what it calls its “best value large-screen phone.” Indeed, the Starmobile Up+ only costs Php5,490 and is jam-packed with several features.
To justify its claim as a value device, the Starmobile Up+ boasts a handful of hardware and software features. For one, this is a 5-inch device with an IPS display, a quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM. At 8GB, its internal storage is double that of its predecessor, the Starmobile Up. Furthermore, the Up+ also sports a pair of cameras with back-illuminated sensors, dual SIM slots and microSD expansion.
Android 4.4 KitKat comes preloaded with the Starmobile Up+, and it’s jam-packed with additional customizations. For instance, multipoint gestures of up to three fingers can be used to execute commands, such as double tapping to wake and sleep the device. There’s a built-in battery saver that lets users choose which apps are allowed to run on start-up and which ones have limited background activity and data connection. Call and text filtering, wireless printing, smart camera controls, syncing between devices and app-to-SD transfers are also available.
