Here’s the pricing for the Knight X!
So we’ve talked about Starmobile’s Knight X in length about before and even put it through its paces. One of the biggest questions about the fastest flagship from the local brand is the price, which wasn’t announced when the company unveiled their flagship. Not until now, anyway.
Starmobile Knight X specs
- MediaTek MT6595M octa-core processor with big.LITTLE technology (2.0GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A17, 1.7GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7)

Starmobile has announced that the Knight X will retail for Php 15,990, which is slightly off our estimate of Php 16,990, the price that the Octa had when it first came out. To be honest we think it’s still a bit steep, but compared to the Octa, it’s a lot better. The Knight X definitely has a lot of things going for it, and the performance is certainly there as well as you saw during our hands-on. Probably the only thing that would make it a must-buy for some would be the promise of Android 5.0 Lollipop down the line, as its competitors in the same price range have promised an update to Google’s latest OS in one form or another.
