Starmobile Launches PH’s First Line of Digital TV Phones

In today’s very mobile lifestyle, most of us rely on our smartphones in almost every task. Aside from its main purpose, we use our phones for calculation, alarms, notes, calendars and other plenty of applications that are undeniably useful and essential. Entertainment nowadays just stays inside our pocket or purse, through our smartphones. Whenever we feel like we want to share videos or watch our favorite shows, we can do it in just a snap. A phone that features TV is not a new thing. We experienced watching live shows from our phone years ago, but the quality was not that outstanding.

Starmobile, the country’s most innovative mobile brand, now brings a new take on Pinoy TV viewing. They now offer free and cable quality TV on the go as they launched the country’s first-ever line of digital TV phones. These mobile hybrids allow you to watch Digital TV (DTV) channels for FREE anytime and anywhere DTV services are available.

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, and digital TV phones would fit well into the modern and very mobile lifestyle of today’s Filipinos. With its souped-up line of DTV devices, Starmobile is set to affect the industry and influence the future of mobile.

What to expect in Starmobile’s Line of Digital TV Phones:

1. Crisper, high-quality video means more emphasis on great artistry. Any advances in the quality of video the average viewer can watch have called for the industry to update the way they do things, from the makeup techniques used on actors to visual effects achieved through filming or production.
2. Mobile viewing makes TV a solo affair. Because you can now watch your favorite TV channels on your mobile through Starmobile, it means you don’t have to fight for control of the remote control whenever your favorite show is on air.
3. Digital recording spreads viewing times out. Primetime may not be prime any longer as real-time recording functions on Starmobile digital TV phones mean that you can wait until later in the evening or even another day entirely before you watch a TV show you’ve been meaning to catch. That frees up your social life so you don’t have to make the decision between finding out what happens on the season finale of your favorite show and meeting your barkada for dinner.
4. ‘Anytime, anywhere’ means quality TV programming can and should be 24/7. If you’re channel surfing in the wee hours of the morning these days, you’ll often find channels replaying old (sometimes very, very old) episodes of their shows. But with the Starmobile DTV phones, now you can watch your shows in bed even without a TV in your room, and you can record shows you might not be able to watch when they air. This sense of easy access means that smaller channels may want to capitalize on bigger channels’ “dead times” and air new content across the region, or top-level TV channels may want to invest in more new shows as the need for reruns will eventually become pretty much defunct. And more shows just mean more TV fun, right?

Now, for our gamer peeps, this phone is also for you as you will absolutely 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, not to mention the huge memory available for use.

These gadgets also come with great cameras that Instagrammers and photo-foodies will definitely love, along with folks who like to capture moments in time via video (like parents and travel junkies).

These supers are now available in Starmobile Stores and Kiosks nationwide.
