The ground-breaking effort officially makes Starmobile the first Filipino brand to assemble mobile phones locally. While smartphones are more popular than ever in the Philippines, the demand for basic call-and-text feature phones still thrives in the country. The Starmobile UNO B208 is a dual-SIM feature phone with an FM radio, camera with flash, expandable memory, flashlight, multimedia playback, and a battery life of up to two days. Established in 2011, Starmobile is the mobile devices division of Star Inc. The company’s flagship Knight series, has won top awards since 2013—a feat that has not been replicated by any local device company.
