It seems normal for Cherry Mobile to react regarding Star Mobile’s Knight X flagship smartphone last December. Their answer is the Cosmos Plus One smartphone, following their flagship cosmos series. The Cosmos One features flagship specifications you expect from international smartphones. The smartphone fronts expansion up to 64GB via Micro SD with its already 32GB internal storage, 3GB RAM, Dual LTE sims that can be inter-switched and the latest MediaTek OctaCore MTMT6595 processor.
Here is the full specifications of the device
The flagship phone features the latest 14mp Sony IMX camera sensor with F2.0 aperture. Based on the hands-on, its running on bare Android Kitkat OS with guaranteed upgrade to 5.0 Lollipop. Other than this, it also has gestures such as smart wake, letter writing for shortcuts and more. Perhaps something unique to see is the dual LTE sim where it might not tantalize everyone since its rare for people to have two LTE lines. But we welcome more innovations the local smartphone brands, which can the give edge of competition for the industry. Early performance benchmarks using the latest AnTuTu version 5.6 reveals a score of 47,000, which is at par with international flagship smartphones today. Honestly we think that reaching scores above 30,000 already provides a good smartphone experience.
The Cosmos Plus One is now available in the Philippines in concept stores and kiosks for Php13,995. Definitely a good way to start 2015 with the battle of flagship smartphones , the price is very competitive against the Knight X and other smartphone players. Let’s see how the other players will react to this, ahem ahem (Myphone Infinity).
