Starmobile UP Octa key specs and highlights

Starmobile UP Octa highlights a 6.08-inch display with HD+ 1560 x 720 resolution and tiny teardrop notch to let you enjoy content on a bigger screen despite its handy body. It also has an anti eye-strain feature which will allow you to use the screen longer.

True to its name, Starmobile UP Octa also features an octa-core processor. It uses the 28nm UNISOC SC9863A chip 8 Cortex-A55 (1.6GHz + 1.2GHz) with PowerVR GE8322 GPU for 3D graphics acceleration.

The phone is paired with 2GB RAM, 16GB expandable storage with microSD up to 64GB, and 3,000mAh battery capacity.

On the camera part, it comes with a 5MP AF camera with AI scene recognition that can even identify the foreground and the background of the image. Most likely, that is for the bokeh effect. It also has an LED flash that could be useful for taking images in the dark.

For selfies, you'll find a 5MP FF shooter with AI face unlock tech.

The other highlight of the phone is it goes with 700MHz 4G LTE for reliable internet speeds. It even runs with the Android 9.0 Pie OS out of the box.

Starmobile UP Octa's package comes with a travel charger, micro USB cable, and an earphones with mic.

The phone comes in blue, gray, and gold color options.
