Starmobile brings i-mobile IQX with 18MP+8MP camera

A Starmobile rep has just confirmed that they are bringing the i-mobile IQX Jellybean smartphone to the Philippines this Wednesday. The phone will come with an 18-megapixel rear camera and another 8-megapixel front-facing camera.

The i-mobile IQX sports a 4.7-inch (1280 x 720, 312ppi) HD LCD with Corning Gorilla Glass. It has an 18 megapixel AF BSI rear camera with dual-LED flash, an 8 megapixel AF BSI front-facing, 4GB of internal storage, support for 3G and HSPA networks, and dual-SIM capabilities. Running under the hood is a MediaTek MT6589 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, and Android 4.2 Jellybean.

Starmobile is just referring to it as Starmobile K at the moment.

We earlier reported the i-mobile IQX being available in Thailand this month and we’re spot on that either Starmobile or Cherry Mobile will rebrand and bring it to the Philippines. Check out more about it here.

We’ll be covering the Starmobile event this Wednesday where they said they are announcing a total of 11 smartphones and tablets this week.

Update: I have been told by Starmobile that while it is very similar to the IQX in hardware specs, it’s going to be a newer model so expect something a bit better. We’re going to compare this Starmobile K with the i-mobile IQX once it becomes official.

Update 2: We’ve been told that the official name is the Starmobile Knight.

    I do consider all of the ideas you have introduced for your post.
    They are very convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very
    brief for beginners. May you please prolong them a bit
    from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

    This phone is available in Thailand and we have sent it to some websites to review.

    Where else outside Thailand is it available ?

    Thank you.

    Sa mga marurunong sa DSLR…. eh good thing yung 18mp kc khit madilim yung kukunan mo eh pwede i-compensate by increasing exposure & ISO values and to recompensate pixelization is to maximize its 18mp feature… kaya advantage yung specs but the bad thing lang eh starmobile ang nakapagrebrand, better kong CM para low price….

      READ the article that was linked by Nini

      This is a FAKE 18MP camera…software interpolation lang ang ginamit with some blurring tricks para hindi ma-obvious yung pixellation pag nag 100 percent view ka

      Kung Native 13MP lang yung sensor it means hanggang dun na talaga, any fancy software trick won’t help to improve the detail kasi ang base resolution niya ay 13MP talaga.
