Starmobile unveils smartphone-like, ultra-affordable dual-SIM phone

Manila, Philippines - Starmobile, local maker of quality dual-SIM mobile phones and a relative new player in the huge affordable handset segment, announced its official launch in the Philippines with the unveiling of a smartphone-like handset with a stunningly low retail price.

In an exclusive media event held at a restaurant in Makati City recently, guests were treated to a special sneak preview of Starmobile’s game-changing mobile marvels.

“Starmobile is more than just a maker of mobile phones. It is our vision to be the Filipino’s partner in jumpstarting dreams and aspirations. We owe it to the Filipino consumer to constantly push boundaries in content development to create a new, happy, and hopeful mobile lifestyle,” said Starmobile president Michael Chen.

Thanks to its clever combination of innovation and style, Starmobile lives up to its promise of top-of-the-line craftsmanship with its full range of dual-SIM mobile phones.

Leading the pack is the new FeatureSmart T601i, the first of a series of mobile phones harnessing the best features of a smartphone at unbeatable value never seen before.

The dual-SIM FeatureSmart T601i provides a dynamic and immersive user experience with its ultra-responsive 3.5-inch capacitive touch-screen display, Wi-Fi connectivity, and Mobile TV.

Sporting the look and feel of mainstream smartphones, a 3.2MP camera, plus built-in access to Facebook, Twitter, and superb browsing experience via Opera Mobile, the T601i provides users with superior value for money at only P3,290.

But the surprises did not end there. Also revealed at the event was TV and movie star Vice Ganda, who was formally announced as Starmobile’s brand ambassador to represent what the brand is all about — being happy, hopeful, successful, and always in good vibes.

The ultimate “How to Be Happy” tip? “Know that the good life is within your reach,” Starmobile consumer marketing head Katrina Tioseco says.

“We hope to share with you the joy in using Starmobile — a strong and credible brand that delivers a full range of intelligent but friendly, and very affordable mobile technologies for Filipinos,” Tioseco added.

Starmobile takes the market even further as it heeds the wishes of today’s mobile generation by offering a 12-month warranty on parts and services from the date of purchase and a vast nationwide network of service centers.

Gracing the event were TV personality Daiana Menezes, Starmobile partners and executives Joey Uy, Ulysses Lao, Jameson Say, Jasper Yeng, David Cheung and James Hu.
