Starmobile Up Snap’s 8MP Ultrapixel Camera

Walking the footsteps of HTC’s Ultrapixel camera, our own Starmobile has released their smartphone with 8-megapixel Ultrapixel camera named UP Snap.

Just like HTC’s statement, the company is saying that each pixel on the sensor is bigger so more light can be absorbed. With more light absorption, photos taken in dark places tend to be more brighter and clearer compared to other cameras without this kind of technology.

Together with the 8MP Ultrapixel camera, this phone comes with a 5MP front facing camera with autofocus that makes your selfies sharper and clearer.
