FeaturesGadgets November 27, 2014 Jason Dayrit 0
If you’re looking for a smartphone upgrade for Christmas without breaking the bank, Starmobile may have the handsets for you in the flagship Knight X, and the midrange shooter Up Snap.
Starmobile has continuously made the mobile lifestyle easier for Filipinos, thanks to budget-friendly options that can go toe-to-toe with foreign brands in terms of specs and performance. They also partner with businesses like 7 Eleven to bring products closer to their market.
With that, Starmobile has released to of their latest devices for the Up and Knight lines, the Up Snap and the Knight X. The Up Snap is a cameraphone with decent higher-midrange specs:
5-inch IPS LCD display
Broadcom BCM23550M ARM Cortex-A7 1.2GHz quad-core
VideoCore IV Graphics
1GB RAM
8GB internal storage (expandable up to 32GB)
Dual-SIM, Dual-3G
Android Kitkat 4.4.2
2,900mAh (Li-ion battery)
The main feature of the Up Snap is of course, the camera. It uses ultrapixel technology, the next step in mobile cameras. The device registers bigger pixels, allowing more light to be captured. With more light, the camera is able to take better photos in low-light conditions. If you’re always out for the night, then the Up Snap is your go-to device for capturing the party (or your drunk friends throwing up).
The Starmobile Knight X is the brand’s newest flagship device and comes packed with impressive specs that can rival foreign brands:
5.5-inch Full HD IPS display
Scratch-resistant glass
MediaTek MT6595M octa-core CPU (2.0GHz quad-core Cortex-A17 and 1.7GHz quad-core Cortex-A7)
PowerVR IMG Rogue G6200 GPU
3GB RAM
32 GB internal storage (non-expandable)
13MP rear camera with Sony Exmor RS IMX135 sensor, dual LED flash, and
5MP front camera
Dual-SIM
3G, LTE
NFC
USB OTG
3350mAh
The Knight X is a step up from last year’s Knight, with a bigger display in full HD. It sports multi-mode LTE that can work in 15 different frequencies used around the world, so you won’t have to worry taking your device when you go out of the country for vacation or work. Along with NFC and USB OTG standards, the Knight X keeps up with whatever you want to do with a 3350mAh battery.
No pricing for both phones but knowing Starmobile, the Up Snap and Knight X will be competitively priced for the local market. Keep your eyes peeled for these two devices at a Starmobile store near you!
