MediaTek MK6592 1.7GHz octa-core CPU
2GB RAM
16GB storage (expandable to 32GB via microSD)

Dual-SIM
2,000mAh battery

The Golden Warrior A8 will be officially launched this coming July 18 in China with prices ranging from $130 to $145 (approx. Php5.6K-Php6K). There’s still no news if the A8 will make its way to Philippine shores, but if it does it’s definitely going to be a threat to existing octa-core phones due to its affordable asking price.

SKK Mobile today announces the Kraken which is its first octa-core smartphone. Targeted to go up against other local devices sporting the same processor, the company claims that the Kraken will be the most affordable octa-core in the market.

SKK Mobile Kraken specs:

5-inch IPS FWVGA display @ 854 x 480 screen resolution
1.7GHz octa-core Cortex A7 processor
Mali 450 GPU
1GB RAM
8GB internal storage (expandable via microSD)
8MP rear camera with LED flash
5MP front camera
Dual-SIM/dual standby
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G
2000mAh battery
Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean OS

The Kraken still has no official price, but should be out with a price tag that is lower than all its octa-core peers available today. We’ve compiled a list of octa-core phones and the cheapest comes at Php12,999 so we could expect the Kraken to go lower than that.
