<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">Starmobile has been content to let other brands release multiple handsets left and right. For the last month, they’ve been teasing one of their upcoming smartphones though, and just a while ago, they finally took the lid off their special surprise. </span><span id="more-24327" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">The new entry-level smartphone, dubbed the </span><a href="http://www.noypigeeks.com/tag/starmobile" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #ff6600; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">Starmobile</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;"> Quest, comes with a lot of surprisingly premium features for its price tag.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">The Starmobile Quest features a 4.5 inch qHD IPS OGS display with a 1.2GHz quad core MSM8212 processor and Adreno 302 GPU by Qualcomm. Measuring 137 x 66.3 x 9.8mm, the handset is very pocketable and a bit refreshing compared to the pocket-stretching phones we’ve been seeing lately.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">The performance may be decent, but the most notable feature of the Starmobile Quest is its camera. It’s a 12mp Sony-made BSI sensor with an F2.0 aperture, which is considerably large for a smartphone. Not only should it perform well in low light, but you’ll also notice that it’s able to achieve better depth of field depending on the shot. The 5mp front camera isn’t too shabby either as it’s a Toshiba-made sensor.</span><br />

The Quest also has a number of interesting features. The 4.5 inch OGS screen is fully-laminated, which helps improve light transmission and touch sensitivity. Snapdragon Audio+ Enhancement is also pre-installed, giving you access to a customizable equalizer with a number of presets to let you toy around with the audio and get the perfect sound. Finally, there’s noise-cancellation, which is a feature you normally don’t see on entry-level phones. You can be on a call in an area with lots of ambient noise and the caller on the other line should still be able to make you out. Nice!</div>

As for the rest of the specs, you’re getting a full connectivity suite with HSPA+ support, WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS with A-GPS. The phone supports dual micro SIMs, and you’ll be surprised to learn that both are 3G capable. The Starmobile Quest is priced at Php6,590 and you get a free screen protector and case to go with your purchase.</div>

Cherry Mobile has started teasing yet another handset yesterday and although it isn’t a heavy-hitter in terms of specs, it should still be fairly popular with budget smartphone buyers.<span id="more-24376" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span> The<a href="http://www.noypigeeks.com/tag/cherry-mobile" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; border: 0px; color: #ff6600; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">Cherry Mobile</a> Flare Dash, as it’s called, will retail for Php3,699 while sporting a 1.2GHz quad core MSM8212 processor from Qualcomm and should be upgradeable to KitKat 4.4 in the future.</div>

The rest of the specs are quite decent. You’re getting a 4 inch WVGA IPS display, 1GB RAM, 4GB ROM and a complete set of wireless connectivity options all the way up to HSPA+. There’s no news as to when the Cherry Mobile Dash will hit store shelves, but it shouldn’t take long for the local brand to make an announcement now that they’ve officially begun teasing the phone.</div>
