Starmobile’s newest phablet seems to target budget conscious consumers with its affordable price of ₱7,990.00.
Although that’s not really cheap, you’ll already get a 5-inch phablet with quad core processor from MediaTek, high capacity battery and BSI cameras.

A peculiar detail on Starmobile Diamond D1’s specs is its use of MediaTek MT6589M chipset which is a low cost alternative of the more powerful MT6589T.
However, Starmobile Diamond D1 gets a high score as a result of its battery with 3,000 mAh capacity. This is very important due to its large display which will consume a lot of battery juice.
Starmobile Diamond D1’s design seems attractive for me and the bezels look thin. However, you’ll surely be discouraged with its low screen resolution – 480 x 854 Pixels only but with a scratch resistant Dragontrail layer.
For the camera, Starmobile Diamond D1 offers a good pair of BSI rear and front cameras. There’s a 12MP main shooter with LED flash and an 8MP front camera for your selfies.
