#starmobile 7-11

After establishing a strong presence in pretty much every major mall in the country, Starmobile is upping the ante as the local company announced that their devices are now available on select 7-Eleven stores in the country. In a statement, Starmobile Ulysees Lao said that the whole idea behind this initiative is to make it more convenient for Filipinos to purchase a Starmobile device sans the hassle of needing to go to the mall which usually involves braving the elements and ridiculous traffic. Lao also added that by making their device available in a respectable convenience store like 7-Eleven, Filipinos can purchase a Starmobile device whenever they want. According to the press release, Starmobile devices will initially be available in six (6) 7-Eleven branches scattered around the metro (listed below). We've featured a few Starmobile handsets in the past and one of them is the flagship Astra which we reviewed last November. Now Starmobile follows up with a new flagship called the Crystal - a 4.5-inch dual-SIM dual-core qHD Android smartphone. It's hard to deny that the Starmobile Crystal's design was inspired by the Samsung Galaxy S3. Starmobile boasts that the Crystal has a "stunning screen display" which is actually a 4.5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 540 x 960.
