A few weeks ago, Starmobile launched Play Click for PhP2,690. It is a budget smartphone powered by Spreadtrum 7731C with 1.3GHz quad core processor, Mali-400MP2 GPU and 512mb RAM
Today, Starmobile, together with Smart Communications, relaunched Play Click at a much affordable price and riddled with goodies such as Smart and TNT Prepaid SIMS and 1 year free data.

What’s interesting about the Starmobile Play Click is its big 4.5-inch screen, which is fairly bigger than current offerings of other brands today.
According to FVP and Smart Wireless Consumer Operations Head, Katrina Luna-Abelarde, “With this partnership, Smart bolsters its thrust to bring the smartphone in the hands of every Filipino by offering feature-rich handsets at a very affordable price.” She also added, “This is our way of breaking the barriers for many of our fellowmen to enjoying a much richer mobile digital experience.”
Smart and Starmobile have teamed up to bring the smartphone experience to more Filipinos.
