Guest Rico_89 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Anyone ever heard of "Start One" .. could be called just "Star". I was looking at this Star One S5;Star One S5 - 5.0 inch (1280*720) HD screen Android 4.2 3G Smart Phone MTK6589 1.2GHz Quad Core 1G RAM 8G 5.0MP Front Camera 12MP back camera. £147 http://www.pandawill.com/star-s5-butterfly-smart-phone-android-42-mtk6589-quad-core-50-inch-hd-screen-1g-8g-p72575.html £158 http://www.dracotek.com/star-one-s5-5-0-inch-1280-720-hd-screen-android-4-2-3g-smart-phone-mtk6589-1-2ghz-quad-core-1g-ram-8g-5-0mp-front-camera-12mp-back-camera.html Seems like an awesome phone for the money..

Guest kyan31 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Star isn't a very good company, they produce cheaply made phones which are usually copies of other phones. I would recommend companies such as Jiayu, Sheng, UMI, Xaiomi, Meizu, Oppo, Neo, and maybe some others if I can remember :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rico_89 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Cheaply made is what would stop me buying one of these.. If anything goes wrong with it you're pretty much out of pocket, but the specs are off the chart for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rico_89 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I've found out a few things about this phone. It doesn't have Gorilla glass, only supports sd cards up to 16gb, no front facing led notification and does not have DLNA support. I thought DLNA was just an app so maybe it could work but one seller stated not dlna. I also found it for £138 .. that's Huawei G510 territory: http://www.uredeal.com/star-s5-butterfly-smart-phone-android-42-mtk6589-quad-core-50-inch-hd-screen-1g-ram-8g_g3769.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 its also here for £138 http://www.merimobil..._p/meri7418.htm more quad core here http://www.merimobil...k6589-quadcore/ but i still think the 1GB RAM 3000mAh G4 at 999 yuan (£100) is a better option and will be better supported, plus it has gorilla glass 2 i just want to known i can buy it from them direct to the uk for 999 yuan, or if its just a china thing?

Yeah the JIAYU G4 is a better buy.. and it looks freakin gorgeous in black.. a lot like the new Blackberry Z10. The cheapest I could find it on pre order is £147 for the 1gb and £170 for the 2gb ram version. Apparently there were software and hardware issues that have led to a delay that won't see it shipped until around May 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the G4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nxkealen Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 dealextreme.com has lots of devices at low prices free shipment to the hole world . Had a star A5000 . Wasen't to bad for a mtk chipset device with only 480 mhz processor. not easy to root and no custom rom or not easy to overclock . But you folks take a look at the site ; you'l find devices with a better performance to at low prices . Almost all smartphones have a english menu , Sorry for bad English guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
