The new SKK Mobile Lynx Luxe is certainly the company’s answer to Cherry Mobile’s Touch HD by matching the latter’s specs as well as its 3k price tag.

It has a 5-inch HD screen, comes with Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box and is powered by a 1.3GHz quad core processor. It differs from the competition since it will be available in stores rather than being exclusive to the online shopping site Lazada.

The SKK Mobile Lynx Luxe appears to have chrome-plated sides and a back cover with faux leather patterns. The company gives is the tagline, “luxury as affordable as a lollipop”.

It’s not yet clear what chipset the phone is using but the 1.3GHz quad core CPU is paired with 1GB of RAM. Hence, users can expect a decent performance in gaming as well as multi-tasking.

Of course, Android 5.1 Lollipop will make this phone perform smoother. There won’t be a lot of OS customizations but some apps will be pre-installed.
