Mukhang ok tong tablet na to. Same chipset as the Lenovo K900, so probably same performance. May tanung lang ako? Anu mas ok sa performance? Eto or nexus 7 2013? Lalo na sa gaming? Supposedly kasi dapat similar sa snapdragon 600 ang performance ng chipset na to.

Agree here..Currently owning a Starmobile Diamond S1. Though the phone is great in specs and design but support from starmobile is a f***** shame. Walang acessories for the phone…Ay meron pala, yung instacase na sabi nila 350 lang but if you’d check sa mga kiosks nila umaabot ng 650! That amount for just an accessory?! Buti sana kung international brand but no…tsk3. Not going to buy from them again.

Sorry Star Mobile, CloudFone has beaten you in bringing the FIRST Intel-powered tablet here in the Philippines with their CloudPad 800w.

SM is definitely a bunch of misleading and desperate folks who do not have a fucking shame in giving their products a price similar to international smartphone brands out there.

2GB RAM VS. 1GB, XGA VS. Full HD, 6500mAh VS, 4000mAh. All this for just P1,000 more…

Sige dun ka sa “First.” Dito kami lahat sa mas maganda…

lakan tutero · 12 years ago

@Jigs Tadeo
Sige dyan ka sa sinasabi mong “mas maganda” habang dito ako sa Nexus 7 2013 ko…LOL.

lakan tutero · 12 years ago

Pareho namang walang kwenta yang sa Star Mobile at sa CloudFone kasi halos hindi naman sila nagbibigay ng Android updates. Kaunting dagdag na lang meron ka nang tablet na officially supported ng Google at Android community.

Justin Cruz · 12 years ago

Your comment on how you defend your post suits you. Nakakatawa… mga 35. Lol @Lakan tutero.

@Justin Cruz
Anong 35? Nasaan? LOL.

Actually intel based android tablets came here last year in the form of the Polariod elixir 7 and 10 inch. While both are just single core and one gig ram. they are still intel based. I guess you could say multicore atom.
