Star launching it’s own $130 Xiaomi Hongmi rival

The Xiaomi Hongmi started an all new price war between phone makers, one which phone maker Start will soon be declaring its own war on!

Star already have a great following of international customers and are now taking advantage of low component costs to produce a phone to rival the Xiaomi Hongmi! Priced at 799 Yuan in China ($130) the new Star phone will feature a 5-inch 960 x 540 IPS display, 1GB RAM, 1.3Ghz Quad-core processor and 8 mega-pixel camera.

It is not clear what name Star are going with for the new models, but we do know that it will be available in either black or white with red and gold trim (very festive!).
