$399 MSRP

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/16/2014 -- U.S. based Luna Mobile, Inc. announced today that its flagship Luna ROX V8 smartphone is in production and will begin shipping in March, 2015. The ROX V8 raises the bar with the MediaTek MT6595 SoC (System on a Chip), the world's first 'true multi­processing' 8­core mobile CPU. The MT6595 recently tested above 47,000 in initial AnTuTu tests­­ more than 20% faster than the Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, and OnePlus One ( GSMArena 7/15/14). The phone sports a 5.5" FHD display, Qi wireless charging, dual SIMs, HEVC H.265 video, and a 13MP camera. Luna will sell the ROX V8 online, direct to the consumer, keeping distribution costs at a minimum. The Luna ROX V8 also comes 'unlocked', allowing the freedom to switch to another GSM carrier at any time.

"The ROX V8 has state­of­the­art features and power to make it one of the top smartphones ever," says Todd Walker, founder and CEO of

Luna Mobile. "The phone meets or exceeds our competition in almost every way," adds Chief Innovation Officer James Mayiras. "Raw speed only has value when combined with functional benefits that simplify your life. That's what makes the ROX V8 the ultimate smartphone, ready to become your 'everything'. Presently, no other company provides this complete solution that people are craving."

Luna has diligently invested the past 18 months in development with its China­based partner, a top 100 electronics manufacturer with some 23,000 employees. "We have the ability to rapidly scale production to satisfy the global demand for this breakthrough product," says Walker.
