Buying one of the locally branded phones is difficult. Competition is intense. If you are one of those who placed a reservation for a Starmobile Knight, a product which is pretty hard to find on the store shelves, the question now is, do you cancel your reservation and just wait for the Cherry Mobile Cosmos X2 coming out in a few weeks?
Both phones have similar specifications:

The Cherry Mobile Cosmos X2 has the advantage in storage and battery. When comparing the two, ultimately, the Cherry Mobile Cosmos X2 has the advantage in storage. It has 16 GB built in, and a MicroSD card slot, so you can increase this to about 48 GB. The Starmobile Knight has 4GB built in, plus a bundled 8 GB MicroSD card. Still, with a 32 GB Micro SD card, all you get is 36 GB.
The Cherry Mobile Cosmos X2 has the advantage in a slightly larger battery with the added benefit of it being user replaceable.
The Starmobile Knight, wins in the handiness factor. The Knight is a much smaller phone than the Cherry Mobile Cosmos X2.
- Starmobile Knight - 138 x 66.7 x 7.5 mm
- Cherry Mobile Cosmos X2 - 137.9 x 70 x 9.85 mm
I will leave you to pick your own poison.
Expandable memory, removable battery... these are probably two of the most common points of comparison between the local brands.
ReplyDeleteJust for kicks I made a chart about it using my leet MS Paint skillz:

No problem, please go ahead. :-)
DeleteYep, I'm anonymous.
DeleteIt's a good comparison because both phones aren't available in the market. Knight has been around for 2 weeks, up until now, no stocks available in cagayan de oro and some parts of the country. By the time Knight will arrive here in cdo, the X2 will be sold out by then.
ReplyDeleteano po ang mas maganda? cosmos x o cosmos x2?
ReplyDeletecosmos x
Deletecosmos x
DeleteCosmos X has 8mp front cam, while X2 has 5mp only. But what makes the difference is the internal memory. X only has 4gb, while X2 has 16gb. That's a lot of difference. I own an X2, and so far I'm satisfied with the performance. Antutu score is 13148.
ReplyDeletemay kasama bang flip cover ang cosmos x2 sir tetams?
ReplyDeleteWala po syang kasamang case.
Deletesir, how long have u been using x2 and any issues so far? thanks
DeleteSabi rito ang dimension ng cosmos X2 ay 137.9x70x9.85, sa ibang blog naman ay 147x74x9.9, sinong maka pagsabi kong alin ba talaga ang tutoo?

ReplyDeleteFor a ball park figure estimate, the x2 is of the same size with the Galaxy S4. I own one so I know.

ReplyDeletemagkano kaya last price nito?
ReplyDeleteI would Prefer the COSMOS X2 not just for the Bat. and Storage, but also for its SUPAH AMOLED screen, design, much faster(because of its Benchmark Scores)and its very much interest features like smart call, any other thing.......:D
ReplyDeletei'll go for Starmobile knight! jeje wants a a big and bulging camera..
ReplyDeletehindi ko mahanap yun smart call and smart alert feature sa settings ng x2, help please, salamat. i got the phone last 9/28/2013 at SM Dasma.
ReplyDeleteMY ISSUE WITH STARMOBILE KNIGHT IS THIS: KAPAG NAKA FULL ANG BRIGHTNESS NG SCREEN, NAG-FLI-FLICKER AND UPPER HALF PART NG SCREEN. KAPAG DARK ANG IMAGE DI MAXADO KITA ANG FLICKER. PERU KAPAG BRIGHT OR COLOFUL IMAGE KLARU TALGA UNG FLICKER. FRUSTRATING NGA. HINDI KO NAMAN NAHULOG ANG PHONE KO. NA DISCOVER KO ITO AFTER THE 7 DAYS REPLACEMENT PERIOD. KUNG BIBILI KAYU, ECHECK NYU MUNA UNG FULL BRIGHTNESS NG SCREEN. WAG MO E-AUTO BRIGHTNESS PARA MAKITA TLAGA
ReplyDeletesuper ganda ng Starmobile in terms of speed, apps, durability.. aside from camera wala na kong makitang negative..ok nmn camera pero if compare sa 8MP ng samsung maganda tlga ang reso pag samsung.. pero sa katulad kong di maka afford ng mahal na fone starmobile is really more than what my money pay for... games, microsoft apps, and other features...
