Starmobile Quest to Stardom?

Starmobile Q which stands for Quest. Starmobile boast features of their new device such as OGS, Noise Cancellation Technology, and Snapdragon Audio+ enhancement.

By the looks of it, construction is purely plastic cant say if the back will be matte or gloss. Only Black, White and Red Colors to choose from.

The Quest has a 4.5 inch qHD (960 x 540 pixels) with OGS IPS LCD Display powered by 1.2GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 200 MSM8212 Processor - Adreno 302 GPU coupled with 1GB RAM and 4GB Internal Storage with MicroSD expansion slot. This chipset performs very well with Antutu ranging from 16000-19000.

Moving on to Camera, Starmobile gave Quest a whopping 12MP Sony Camera BSI Sensor with f2.0 aperture supported with LED Flash and 5MP Front with Toshiba sensor. It is Interpolated such that the said chipset only supports up to 8MP. It's main rival would be Cherry Mobile Flare S2. Would be nice to have a Camera Shootout showdown.

For connectivity, it has WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and HSPA+ data connectivity. Yes it will be a Dual-Sim device (MicroSim)

Battery is at 2000mAh and since it is a Snapdragon device then it will have Qualcomm Battery Guru Optimization Software built in.

Overall, the Quest is seeking to steal the limelight from barrage of Cherry Mobile devices. How will it fare with Cherry Mobile Flare S2 also packing Sony Sensor? Internal Specs and Price also comes close to the likes of Razor 2 and Omega Icon. Starmobile has placed features focused on display, sound, and camera to compete as their new Rising Star.
