The first Intel Atom processor-powered Full HD tablet developed by a local brand has been launched in the Philippines by Starmobile.
Priced at Php9,990, the ENGAGE 9i is a strategic collaboration between Intel and Starmobile that is set to bring forth a new wave of powerful devices for mobile workspaces at affordable prices in 2014.
“We at Starmobile are truly excited to offer our first tablet with an Intel SoC processor,” said Starmobile President Michael Chen. “This is a collaboration which will further enable both Starmobile and Intel to offer compelling mobile experience at the right price.”

The Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean tablet packs the 2GHz dual core Intel Atom Z2580 processor and 2GB of RAM. It is powered by a 6500mAh battery pack.
Coupled with an 8.9-inch Full High Definition (1920 x 1200 pixels) multi-touch screen and built-in Yamaha Stereo Speakers, the Starmobile ENGAGE 9i takes ‘content consumption’ experience to a whole new level as it delivers the amazing audio and video playback experience. Videos, photos, and movies can be stored in the 16GB internal storage, a MicroSD card (up to 64GB), or via external storage devices which can be connected using an optional USB On-The-Go (USB OTG) cable.
The Starmobile ENGAGE 9i inspires content creation and sharing with its 5-Megapixel (MP) auto focus rear camera and 2MP front camera for mobile photography on the go, video calls, and even capturing Full HD videos.
The Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel HT Technology) helps maximizes processing power by intelligently managing applications, so users are able to multi-task without compromising responsiveness, system efficiency, or manageability.
“Intel continues to push the boundary in delivering powerful SoCs that enable mobile devices to deliver amazing user experiences. This holds true in our collaboration with Starmobile as ENGAGE 9i meet the needs of today’s consumers on performance and battery life. The local market has yet to see all the remarkable stream of innovations and we are excited to bring these mobile devices to them this year,” said Intel Philippines Country Manager Calum Chisholm.
The ENGAGE 9i is now available in over 50 Starmobile stores and kiosks nationwide.
