#starmobile astra

Met with the folks from StarMobile the other day when they gave me two of their newest Android smartphones. The StarMobile Astra was the one that got most of my attention because it's an Android TV phone. The StarMobile Astra is a combination of an Android smartphone with pretty decent hardware configuration running ICS. Out of the box, the Astra reminds us of the old Desire series under HTC line-up from years back. The 4.3-inch IPS LCD they used on the Astra looks very good. What you can appreciate from this set up is that you have a large display for viewing your favorite local TV shows (I think the Astra has one of the biggest TV screens, if not the biggest, on any smartphone). 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.
