Starmobile ENGAGE 7TV Review

Starmobile ENGAGE 7TV Review

 I bought a Starmobile Engage 7TV in a store in Mandaluyong although there is a stamobile kiosk in mall near our place I ended up buying it from a store in SM Mandaluyong . The kiosk in our place is offering a single core Engage 7 with just 512 of ram and personally I  believe that 1 G ram should be the minimum. So, after searching different stores in SM megamall I found one that offers the Starmobile Engage 7TV dual core for 4990 pesos. The main reason that I bought the Starmobile engage 7tv is for its digital tv capability , currently the IRR for the switch to digital broadcast in 2015 is underway so I am preparing for it in advance. To my knowledge it is the only tablet that carries a digital tuner with it. Unfortunately, I cannot  get any digital signal either there are no network that is undergoing test broadcast or our wall are too thick that digital signal cannot penetrate. Good thing about this tablet is that it also has an analog tuner so I can still watch other channels. Continue reading “Starmobile ENGAGE 7TV Review”

DTC GT7 REVIEW

 I bought today a DTC GT7, if you will read my previous post about  DTC GT5 and DTC GT3  you will notice that the DTC GT7 have some similarities or let us just say a minor upgrade of sort from this two cellphone.

DTC GT7 have  a 5 megapixel camera same as the DTC GT3. The processor of DTC GT7 is 1 ghz  single core like the DTC GT5 although unlike the GT5 which is a Mediatek MT 6515 the DTC GT7 have a spreadtrum sc6820 processor.  The design is an adaptation of both DTC GT3 and GT5 . The location of  power button and the lower touch pad is similar with GT3 while the speaker and silver lining on the chasis/ body mold is similar with DTC GT5.

The real upgrade of DTC GT7 is on its screen size which 4.3 inches and the ram which is  512 mb.  Screen resolution of 800x 400 , hdpi 240 and cellphone can be use as a wlan hotspot…

The not so good side of the phone… 2g connectivity only no 3g.  Power button is difficult to press and it is very annoying especially for a person with big fingers like me.

Here is the Antutu Benchmark for DTC GT7

TOTAL SCORE 3358
RAM 446
CPU 587

The Antutu Benchmark for DTC GT5 is way more higher.. i am not a techie guy but maybe the low score is due to the bigger screen of DTC GT 7 and the processor per see, mediatek compared to  spreadtrum.

I would try update this later or in the coming days…

Sad to say but i need to return this phone tomorrow. The charger is busted,  while charging i heard a “POP” sound and the led of the charger unlit.
