But if you want to sell it for $222.00, certain niceties have to go out the window – like the signature 1080P screen, for instance. Star’s slipped a 720P unit in there instead, while also downgrading the RAM to 1GB and swapping out Qualcomm’s 1.5GHz quad-core CPU for a cheaper MediaTek model. The Chinese cloner’s at least kept the other specs real, matching the kosher model’s 8-megapixel rear and 3-megapixel front cameras, dual-sim option, SD card expansion slot and Android 4.2 software. Of course, nothing keeps costs down like not having to pay a designer – and knowing that most of that pesky marketing’s already been done for you.
