Starmobile is at it again. This time they’ve given the crowd something more to look forward to by providing more information about their upcoming flagship handset dubbed as the Diamond X1.
If you’re just tuning in, Starmobile gave a sneak-peek at the Diamond X1’s feature set which consists of a 6-inch IPS display and a Mediatek Octa-core processor with 2GB of RAM.
After doing some research, we’ve predicted that SM’s new smartphone could be a rebranded Intex Aqua i17. And as it turns out, Louie was spot on with his hunch.
Starmobile Diamond X1 specs:
6-inch (1280 x 720 pixels) HD IPS display, 245ppi
Scratch-resistant coating
1.7GHz Octa-core MediaTek MT6592 CPU
Mali 450MP4 GPU
2GB RAM

One of the things that sparked a controversy was the underwhelming battery pack found in the Aqua i17. Starmobile didn’t specify the Diamond X1’s power source, but if the Aqua i17’s is to be believed, then Diamond X1’s 2300mAh power source may just very well be its Achilles’ heel.
Another thing that Starmobile didn’t disclose was the price. But we don’t have to wait too long to find that out because the Diamond X1 is slated to make its official debut this month.

Don’t get your hopes too high. The release date is not an official date. STARMOBILE has this antic since SM-Knight. Full of B/S. The media leak in April2013, Launch date on June 2013, Release date august2013. October2013 reached the shores of cagayan de oro.?
It’s just a lame marketing ploy. They just want to build a hype. I bet my neck that it’d be released on February 3, 2014 nationwide and on shelves.?
STARMOBILE is a great company in playing waiting game for new products. But sucks in terms of product logistics and availability.
