Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra Launch

Sunday, November 29, 2015

     I noticed that when a friend or relative looks for a smartphone, the first thing they ask the sales lady is about the camera. How many mega pixels the rear and front camera have. Then after asking clicks the camera button, test it in the first subject they see and compares the photos they've taken one by one. In today's world of smartphones, camera is really important as this is the main part of the modern mobile phone that takes all the precious memories that we make everyday.

     Aside from photos, we also make a record of those once in a lifetime memories like birthday celebrations, first milestone of a baby (for mothers), and other occasions that is important to us. Starmobile recently launched another big thing in the smartphone/cameraphone industry. This is the KNIGHT Spectra- the first smartphone with dual rear camera. The launch was held at EDSA Shangri-La last November 9, 2015 and was graced by Starmobile executives, celebrities, media partners, and bloggers who were excited to see another first in the cameraphone field.

     During the launch, we got the first dibs on the Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra, the most advanced Filipino cameraphone with a dual rear camera. Designed for social shutterbugs, the KNIGHT Spectra is just what you need to up your game when it comes to taking share-worthy pics.

      “The Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra is our most advanced cameraphone to date,” says Starmobile Chief Operating Officer Michael Chen.
“With its unique dual rear sensors and built-in Star Cam functionality it takes the mobile point-and-shoot experience to even greater heights.” The two camera modules work together to help you take photos that really stand out. Here’s how the system works: the 2-megapixel sensor gathers data like light, exposure, and distance, allowing the 13-megapixel sensor to take brilliant photos more quickly and accurately. “The result is faster focusing, amazing colors, sharper details, and automatic distortion correction the likes of which can only be found in high-end point-and-shoot cameras,” says Chen.

     Here are the addition to Starmobile’s unique Star Cam functions, thus enable you to do the following:

  • Choose the focal point of your shot after taking the photo. All you have to do is tap on the object (or person, face, etc.) you want to focus on! With Star Cam’s Super ReFocus, the dual rear camera takes photos at 10 varying lengths then compresses them into a single file.
  • Take photos at exactly the right exposure level. Hate how dark photos look when you don’t use the flash, but also detest the overexposure that results when you do it with a normal smartphone cam? Chroma Flash lets your phone take two photos—one with flash and one without—in rapid succession, combining them into a single file for a better overall pic.
  • Zoom in without compromising photo texture and sharpness. Using your smartphone to take photos of that rocking concert you’re attending? Or maybe you want to capture precious moments at a loved one’s birthday, graduation, or wedding. Opti Zoom shoots multiple photos simultaneously to improve the quality of those close-up shots.

     With the phone's star quality specs above, I can say that it will satisfy those camerphone savvies. In my opinion, smartphones with good camera are the in thing now especially for bloggers who like to cover events without bringing too much stuff. To test the unique starcam function of Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra, veteran and highly-respected photographer Jun De Leon tested this phone in different subjects and was amazed by the camera's performance. All the photos on display during the event was taken using the Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra- raw and no filter added. It's shot in manual mode by the maestro.

     There are three things that I'm sure will make you put Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra in your wish list this Christmas: the loaded star cam features, the battery life because it's 3,500 mAh, and AMOLED HD display which I've seen as one of the features of some high-end televisions. Thank you so much Starmobile for having me and for letting me share this event to my readers. Here's a sneek peak of the event, comment below if you see me in the video. Hint: I'm wearing a black sheer blouse during the event and my back was captured in the middle part taking event photos.

     Okay, another smart phone to take beautiful selfies and other photos but what makes it stand out? Find out here:

     The secret lies in three functions exclusive to the Star Cam: ReFocus, Chroma Flash, and Opti Zoom.

  • ReFocus lets you choose the focal point of your shot after you’ve taken the photo. The function works by simultaneously taking five photos at varying lengths then compressing them into a single file so you can select a single object (or face!) to focus on just by clicking on the area you want spotlighted. 
  • Chroma Flash is a boon for anyone who has to take photos in low-light environments—it takes two photos in rapid succession, one with flash and one without it, and combines them into a single photo. Say goodbye to overexposed colors natural-looking skin tones!
  • Opti Zoom shoots multiple photos simultaneously to ramp up the texture and sharpness of your zoomed-in pictures. Results are clearer, cleaner, and smoother compared to regular digital zoom.

For Travel Junkies: Sightseeing is not just about the sights—it’s about the people as well. Share photos of the interesting people you met using Chroma Flash.

Starmobile First Line of Digital TV Phones Launch

Thursday, June 11, 2015

     While I was watching my son playing his favorite minecraft game on his tablet, my mind suddenly went on a throwback mode. I was reminiscing the past, the simple things that make us happy and busy. I love watching television shows and soap operas before I became busy with blogging. Since watching television series requires me to watch it daily so that I will not miss an episode, life became a school-tv-homework-tv-sleep routine. So when mobile phones with built in television was invented, I got so excited that I bought one.

     But mobile phones with built in television require a good signal to get a clear viewing. I thought I'll be happy because of this advancement in mobile phone technology. The signal of the first generation of mobile phones with build in television was weak. I'm disappointed with the unit that I owned before. To cut a long story short, I ended up giving the said mobile phone to my cousin. Just recently, Starmobile offers a handy solution to my problem and other problems that tv fanatics have like free and cable quality TV on the go. The launching of Starmobile's first ever line of digital TV phonesThese mobile hybrids allow you to watch cable-quality Digital TV (DTV) Channels for FREE anytime and anywhere DTV services are available. There are three models to choose from:  the big-screen KNIGHT Vision, the slender UP Vision, and the big battery UP Max.

     The technology and versatility of DTV phones mark a new era in Philippine mobile functionality. Starmobile has always put the wants and needs of Pinoy mobile users first. Because of those amazing features I mentioned above plus the affordable price tag, I presume that DTV devices of Starmobile will set to affect the industry and influence the future of mobile.

     Aside from gaming, watching our favorite tv shows will be an anytime-anywhere situation. DTV Phones is a new take on Pinoy TV viewing and here are the reasons why it would really fit well with our on-the-go lifestyle:

  • Crisper, high-quality video means more emphasis on great artistry.
  • Mobile viewing makes TV a solo affair. No more remote control fight-period.
  • Digital recording spreads viewing times out. Primetime may not be prime any longer as real-time recording functions on on Starmobile digital TV phones means watching can be done in the evening or on another day. No-no to a missed episode :)
  • Anytime, anywhere means quality TV programming can and should be 24/7. Hooray for more TV shows!

     Even if you’re not a TV addict, you’ll still get a lot of use out of your digital TV phone. Gamers will love the responsiveness of the system as well as the HD screen, something people who download a lot of videos will get a kick out of, too, apart from the huge memory available for use. Instagrammers and photo-foodies will appreciate the great cameras these come equipped with, as will folks who like to capture moments in time via video (like parents and travel junkies). 
Starmobile First Line of Digital TV Phones Launch
     The UP Vision and the KNIGHT Vision are now available in Starmobile Stores and Kiosks nationwide while the UP Max will be available beginning next week. There are three promising DTV phones to choose from, which one suits your personality? Methinks I'm diggin' the UP Max, more battery means a tv marathon!
