Cherry Mobile COSMOS X2 vs Star Mobile KNIGHT

The Knight had been already in the market by past several days, while the Cosmos X2 is out just now August. The Knight Has Impress a lot of people but, will the warrior stand against the Beast? Lets Find Out.

Cherry Mobile Cosmos X2 vs Star Mobile Knight
Design

The knight has a really good design, it is small, thin, lightweight, square design. But I dont like the soft and easy to break back cover. Once you have accidentally sited, pulled, fold the back cover, it will automatically break. The other thing that I like about Knight's design is that it only have a 7.5mm thickness. Cosmos X2 brings you a different taste, it is just a little bit bigger than the knight with 4.8 inch screen which is good. 4.8 inch is better than a 4.7 screen because it's not too small but also not too big. This Device has a Samsung Galaxy S3 Taste which is great. Some Specs of Cosmos X2 are similar to S3. This Phone has an advantage of physical Home Button and two capacitive button "Back and Options". The X2's back is
Brushed-Metal-like-Plastic. A really great Idea. The back Cover is not like the knight's breakable back cover. For Me I Prefer the Cosmos X2 for its Better Design against the Knight.

Design Comparison: The Bold words are the Benefits

Cosmos X2  
  • 145 x 74 x 9.85mm thick
  • 4.8 inch screen
  • Brushed-Metal-Like Plastic Back Design(Strong)
  • Comes with White and Black Colors
  • Removable Back Cover (Removable Battery)
  • 114mg weight
  • Physical and capacitive buttons   

Star Mobile "K"
  • 138 x 66.7 x 7.5mm thick
  • 4.7 inch Screen
  • Matte Plastic Back Design(Weak)
  • Comes with White and Black Colors
  • Removable Back Covers (non-removable bat.)
  • 120mg weight
  • Capacitive Buttons

Screen

The Cosmos X2 wins when it comes to the screen. Why? Because it has a 4.8 inch SUPER AMOLED HD DISPLAY compared to The IPS DISPLAY in The Knight. Although the Knight has a greater ppi, Cosmos X2 still wins it because a 4.8 inch is a not too big and not too small compared to a small screen in "K". Also the Screen of Cosmos X2 is a great chemistry with its Battery.

Screen Specs Comparison:

Cosmos X2



  • 4.8 inch Super AMOLED HD 720p screen.
  • 312 ppi


Star Mobile Knight


  • 4.7 inch IPS HD 720p Display screen.
  • 315 ppi


Camera

Both Phones have an 18MP BSI rear cam. They both have a flash. But The Knight has an advantage because it has a dual LED flash. The quality when it comes to knight is really great. But What I dont like about it is that it has the basic camera features even it is a different cam app. The X2 has also a different camera app, but more features than the "K" cam. The Image Quality in X2 is also great compared to Knight.

The Camera on the X2 can easily capture image in lowlight conditions but with great quality. But the Knight is much better when it comes to lowlight, but in outdoors, I think that the X2 is Better. On the image above on the knight, it has an extreme lowlight condition. The Knight beats X2 in indoors, flash and in front camera, while the X2 beats the "K" in Outdoors. In General, The Knight Wins me. Although the X2 has greater quality photos in outdoors, but what about the flash and the front cam? But if you will compare the pictures in both phones, you will not notice any difference. The X2's camera is great but For me, its the KNIGHT.

Camera Specs

Knight

  • 18MP rearcam BSI
  • Dual LED flash
  • 8MP BSI frontcam 
Cosmos X2

  • 18MP rearcam BSI
  • Single LED flash
  • 5MP BSI front Cam

Performance

The performance on both phones are almost likely the same. But the benchmarks of both are far from another. The X2 sports a  1.2GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6589 processor together with 
PowerVR SGX544MP @286Mhz GPU, 16gb of storage, and 1gb of ram. The "K" on the other hand comes with the same CPU and GPU and RAM. But X2 has extremely bigger storage. The storage in X2 is 4x larger than Knight's one. And the Battery of X2 is bigger than the "K" by 200mAh. In this round the X2 sure wins it, not because of storage, but also with the taste that cherry brings to the user together with the CPU and GPU and thats why the X2 has bigger Benchmark Scores than the "K" even with the same Specs.

BENCHMARKS

Cosmos X2


Wow! Seriously? 13810 score on antutu? Thats great whoooo! I am amaze with its score so bad. Greater than OHD 2.0, Skyfire 2.0, O+ 8.15, and Micromaxx Canvas 4.

Knight

A very far score with the X2 but still "K" comes with a REALLY great performance and a highly acceptable benchmark score. Hoooray for the LOCAL BRANDED DEVICES

Conclusion

The X2 is solid, great, fast, reliable, and amazing handset for you to buy and can compete with other international brands in a decent price. The Knight on the Other hand is a solid, decent, fast and great smartphone that can also compete with other international brands and also with a decent price for its specs. If you are a gamer, android Guru, also a video/photo man, the X2 is there, if you like photography, the "K" is there. But for me, The Cherry Mobile Comsos  X2 is the winner on this battle because of its solid phone and camera performance. 

Note: The camera on the X2 is a really great one and I am not saying that the X2 brings us low quality                     photos. The X2 can really compete with knight's camera using its features and outdoors quality.
