Starmobile Knight Spectra

Starmobile is the first Philippine brand to release a smartphone with two side by side cameras at the back – the new Starmobile Knight Spectra.

The dual camera feature allows it to take pictures and then change the point in focus later (re-focus). This means no more blurry or out of focus photos of your favorite moments. The Starmobile Knight Spectra flaunts a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with full HD resolution. Both the front and back panels are covered by a layer of scratch resistant glass.

One of its dual camera system is 13 Megapixels while the other one is 2 Megapixels only. The later simply measures depth and luminance giving its re-focus capability. Between the two is an LED flash. An 8 Megapixel camera also resides on the front and takes care of selfies. Powering the Starmobile Knight Spectra is Qualcomm’s octa core Snapdragon 615 processor, Android 5.1 Lollipop as the OS and an ample amount of RAM at 3 GB.

It has 32 GB of built-in storage space, a microSD card SLOT for up to 64 GB memory cards and support for USB OTG. There’s a 3,500 mAh battery which the company claims to last up to 9 hours of calls or the whole day with casual use.

Each box of the Starmobile Knight Spectra comes with several freebies. This includes a phone case, screen protector, digital TV antenna, small TV stand and the usual charger and earphones. The only thing going against this smartphone is its price. It retails for PHP 14,990 which puts it against heavyweights such as the Zenfone 2 and ZUK Z1.

If you favor Starmobile’s premier smartphone, it will be available starting on the fourth week of November 2015.
