Starmobile Knight X Super Octa Core Smartphone Hands-On Demo and Features Explanation
Based solely on its internal hardware, the recently announced Starmobile Knight X is quite inarguably the most powerful smartphone from a local handset manufacturer as of writing (or at least before its main rivals launch a device having similar specifications).
Sporting a massive 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display, a 13 MegaPixel autofocus camera with LED flash and Sony IMX135 sensor, and a large 3,350 mAh battery pack, the Dual SIM Dual LTE Switching Starmobile Knight X, which runs Android 4.4 KitKat with a Super Octa Core MediaTek MT6595M chipset and has 3GB of RAM, 32 GB of ROM and WiFi AC support (whew! that's a lot in one go!), represents the very best of what a Pinoy electronics company in the mobile arena can accomplish and deliver to consumers.
“The Knight X is the next step for us in our mission to deliver high-quality, yet still competitively-priced devices to Filipinos," shared Starmobile Vice Chairman and Head of Product Development Mr. Michael Chen. "This is truly a smartphone that is inspired by and is made for the next generation Pinoy."
Starmobile has yet to disclose the exact release date and official suggested retail price of this cool new flagship (Right now, all we know is that it's definitely arriving this December) but if your interest has already been piqued by everything you've read and seen about Starmobile Knight X and you're already considering to purchase it when it becomes available, you might want to watch this exclusive interview that I had with Mr. Elijah Mendoza, Starmobile's Product Marketing Manager, during this phablet's launch last November 20, 2014 at the Makati Shangrila Hotel. He basically gave a thorough and extensive demo of the device and even explained its unique features and main selling points.
TP Friends, let me know your thoughts about this upcoming release. Do you like it? Are you thinking about getting this Christmas? Also, if you have questions or clarifications about the Starmobile Knight X, kindly post them below as comment to this post and I'll forward them to our friends at Starmobile.
