Starmobile Knight Luxe Hands-on

Starmobile Knight Luxe is the company’s best looking smartphone thanks to the premium materials that were used in the smartphone. If you’ve read my previous review of different smartphones, you probably know how much I love the combination of glass and metal on a smartphone but the Starmobile Knight Luxe is an exception. Why? Check out my hands-on below.

• 1.4GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6592M processor

There are two available colors of the Starmobile Knight Luxe. The first thing you’ll notice in this smartphone is the aluminum frame. Not only it does look good but it feels very comfortable to use because the aluminum frame is very solid and it feels very premium too because of the chamfered edges however, you can feel that the chamfered edges on the Starmobile Knight Luxe are sharper compared to the iPhone 5 & 5s.

At the back, you’ll see a textured back which is rough and feels very premium to hold. At first, I thought it was something made up of a material that I do not know but they told me that it was just plastic. I was really amazed with its texture and feel.

There’s a 5-inch HD display on the Starmobile Knight Luxe and no, this is no ordinary display because this one packs an AMOLED display that’s why the colors are more vivid and the display is clearer and better than other 5-inch HD displays. Another thing, the ISOCELL camera inside the Starmobile Knight Luxe is the first in a local branded smartphone however, we’ve to review this smartphone if the camera is good or not.

The Starmobile Knight Luxe might not pack the best hardware inside and it might not have LTE but this is definitely one of the stylish local branded smartphone in the market. I’m pretty sure fashionistas would love this smartphone. Despite the lack of LTE and a 64-bit processor, I still think the P7,690 price tag is pretty good. Yes, you could get octa-core smartphones these days at a much affordable price but with the Starmobile Knight Luxe, you’ll get an octa-core device with an astonishing material and design. Again, the Starmobile Knight Luxe is the best looking local branded smartphone I’ve seen so far.
