Starmobile didn’t provide much info on their teaser release but after some digging and cross-referencing with press renders provided by Rappler, we believe that it’s a rebranded Intex Aqua i17 which was launched in India last month.

Take note that the Diamond X1′s main and front cameras feature a higher pixel count at 18 megapixel and 8 megapixel respectively. So some of the specs listed above may differ from the actual Diamond X1.

The Starmobile Diamond X1 is slated to be launched in January 2014 with an expected price not exceeding Php15k. This compliments the Aqua i17′s price of Rs20,000 or around Php14k when converted.
