Starmobile Jump Neo Price Php 4,490, Specs, Unboxing, Antutu Benchmark Score : Affordable 5-inch Android Lollipop Smartphone

With an official suggested retail price of Php 4,490, Starmobile Jump Neo is the most affordable 5-inch Android smartphone in the Philippines that runs Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system right out of the box -- making it a great option for budget-conscious consumers who want to experience the benefits of the latest version of Google's mobile OS without having to spend more than Php 5,000 on a capable daily driver.

Obviously, its Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system is the main selling point of this release. However, that's not the only thing that's notable or cool about the Starmobile Jump Neo.

In terms of looks, for instance, it's no push over. The first time I saw this model in the flesh and held it, I was instantly smitten not only by its very hip design but also by how solid it feels in the hand.

"We really focused on the design of our new smartphones. We want to give consumers really premium looking devices that they will be proud to show to their friends," Mr. Elijah Mendoza - Product Marketing Manager of Starmobile - told me during our meeting last week. Looking at their current handset line-up, I believe it's a goal that they've successfully achieved.

Considering that the handset has a very affordable price tag, it's technical specifications - I would say - are already more than decent. On the outside, Jump Neo flaunts a 5-inch FWVGA IPS display panel, a 5 MegaPixel autofocus main camera, a 2 MegaPixel selfie cam in front, Full HD video recorder,

Under the hood, Starmobile Jump Neo runs its vanilla Android 5.0 Lollipop OS with Quad Core 1.3 GHz ARM Cortex A7 and Mali 400 MP2 GPU based MediaTek MT6582M chipset, has 1 GB of RAM for multitasking, and has a rather sizable 8 GB of internal storage that you can beef up using the device's microSD card slot supporting up to 32GB.

These internal hardware specs combine to give Jump Neo an Antutu Benchmark Score in the area of 20,827. This relatively high mark reflects the handset's capability to run and play almost all games that you can download from the Google Play Store -- with the exception, perhaps, of a few 3D titles that are really taxing on the graphics chip.

On top of its OS version, design, and technical specifications, Starmobile Jump Neo also comes with unique and useful software enhancements courtesy of the Pinoy handset company. These include Starmobile Sync 2.0, which is a fast way to transfer contacts, calendar notes, and messages and more via WiFi and Bluetooth. There's also the Starmobile Care App - a one-stop app for updates, tips, customer service requests, and virus protection. The handset also supports Double Tap to Wake or Sleep feature, a touch gesture on the home screen that can help lessen wear and tear on the power button.
