Starmobile has recently unveiled a new device to their portfolio called the Up Groove, and it boasts of listening to tunes at an affordable price. Boasting an amplified loudspeaker (dubbed as PocketPunch) for multimedia consumption, the Up Groove is an entry-level phone that's made for those who want booming sounds that come from their small devices. The device doesn't stray far from other Starmobile devices we've reviewed in the past few months when it comes to structure. The Up Groove is quite bulky at 9.1mm considering more premium-looking budget smartphones are entering the market, but there isn't anything that would be of an inconvenience as it's solidly built -- the phone is still good to hold for prolonged periods of time and is not that slippery thanks to the ribbed texture at the lower back. The Up Groove's display is decent, as it packs punchy colors, good viewing angles, and appropriate brightness though you wouldn't see that much at high noon. The Up Groove has around 68dB at normal peak, but turning on its PocketPuch/LoudSpeaker feature amplified the music without compromising much of the music quality to 80dB. Starmobile introduces a new budget smartphone aimed at musically inclined people or just users who like to Jam.
