Starmobile today unveiled the newest addition to its Engage tablet lineup, the Starmobile Engage 7i. The device features a 7-inch IPS display and runs Android 5.1 Lollipop on a 64-bit Intel Atom X3 processor with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. A 3,000mAh battery, which Starmobile says delivers up to 20 days of standby time, powers the whole assembly.

The main selling point, however, is the Engage 7i’s telephony capabilities on top of WiFi and 3G connectivity.

The main selling point, however, is the Engage 7i’s telephony capabilities on top of WiFi and 3G connectivity. That means you can use the tablet to send texts and make calls — basically everything you can imagine doing with a handset, except you get 7 inches of screen real estate instead of the usual 4 or 5 inches.

A Smart Bro SIM card that comes with 200MB of free data per month for 6 months is also included in the bundle. The Starmobile Engage 7i is available now in either white or black for P3,990.
