Starmobile Diamond X1 specs and features

As posted on their FB photo flyer, it has 18 megapixels rear camera and 8 megapixels for front facing cam. With this kind of written package, I'm sure this is what everyone wants to have for a smartphone. You can take good quality photos without bringing along your SLR camera and even in low light you can still take a pic with the help of BSI sensor feature.

The internals of X1 are very impressive, an octa core processor clocked at 1.7GHz paired with 2GB RAM and 8GB internal storage that can expanded up to 32GB using external memory card. As claimed by Starmobile, Diamond X1 runs on true octa core chip meaning all this 8 processor can together at the same time. Supaah fast right? So if you're sicked when your current phone processing power, then you need this one.
