It has Android 6.0 Marshmallow for its operating system and 3G connectivity. The screen is a 4-inch panel and its cameras are 5MP and 2MP for the back and front respectively, with flash.

The best part of this deal is the affordability of the PLAY Five, which is priced at an affordable P 1,790. Units will be available at Starmobile concept stores, kiosks and authorized resellers starting on the fourth week of November.  Alfred Bayle
