Starmobile Knight: 4.7-inch HD IPS Corning Gorilla Glass Display, Quad-core CPU, 18-megapixel and 8-megapixel cameras

Starmobile announced their own set of quad-core android phones in hopes of competing with top players such as MyPhone and Cherry Mobile. Check out more details after the break.

Starmobile Knight is the most impressive Starmobile to date and that’s largely because of its quad-core processor and stellar camera. These days people are looking for smartphones awesome cameras and while we currently have top notch quality from the Cherry Mobile Omega HD 2.0 and MyPhone A919i Duo, there’s always room for improvement.

One thing that I first noticed is that it somehow looks similar to the iPhone 5, having the same shape which Apple fans would quickly notice. So if you really love the Apple iPhone 5 but wished that it runs on Android instead, the Starmobile Knight is one good option.

The Starmobile Knight has a quad-core processor and that means it will be smooth unlike the Starmobile Diamond which struggled in handling the HD resolution because of its weaker MT6577 dual-core processor.  The Knight also comes with 1GB RAM for efficient multitasking.

It will also have a HD IPS Display that’s protected by Corning Gorilla Glass making it tough enough to endure some beating.

However, the main attraction on the Knight lies on the camera. It has an 18-megapixel BSI rear camera and 8-megapixel front-facing camera which is the best in the local market right now. But, it’s not all about the number of pixels so we still need to see some sample shots before we make a conclusion.
