Starmobile Is The First Local Brand To Assemble Mobile Phones Locally!

A first in the Philippines! STAR, Inc., the parent company of Starmobile has just announced the start of its mobile production efforts in the Philippines.

Facility is located in Calamba, Laguna

There will be 20,000 units of UNO B208 feature phones will be assembled in its facility located in Calamba, Laguna. This ground breaking effort officially makes Starmobile the first ever Filipino brand to assemble mobile phones locally.

"Since we started five years ago, it has been the company’s goal to contribute to the local economy and provide employment by assembling phones in the Philippines," said Starmobile COO Michael Chen. "Aside from bringing us a step closer to our dream of building up the Philippines an important player in the global tech scene, this will also benefit our bottom line, as it will result in more cost and time-efficient logistics and shipment around the country. In addition, because we will have parts and an assembly facility locally, we expect this to improve our after-sales support for our customers."

As a quick recap, the Starmobile UNO B208 is an essential dual SIM capable feature phone. It has the usual call and text function, FM Radio, expandable memory, flashlight, multimedia playback, and up to two days of battery life! It's priced at just PHP 599.

In particular, the facility can assemble a minimum of 1,000 units per day.

Most likely, this is just the start!

Good job!
