The Knight X has a 5.5-inch full HD IPS display panel, it features a scratch resistant glass and 1920 x 1080 resolution.

It has fixed storage so that StarMobile has embedded a 32G internal storage and it is not partitioned like the usual configuration of an Android smartphone. Its like you have a whole 32G of laptop hard drive — system files and data files are located in just one drive.

The shooters has 13-MP rear Sony Exmor RS IMX135 camera, with AF, and dual-LED flash with F2.2 aperture, while the front camera has 5-MP fixed focus front camera.
