Reviews for the Cubot KingKong 8

Cubot KingKong 8 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English EN→zh-CN
The Cubot KingKong 8 is a decently designed rugged smartphone that has some real advantages compared to its competitors in the same price range. The smartphone is also available in more regions now than ever. Things like IP rating, decent performance, large memory and storage capacity, and an extra bright flash for better photography at night, are some of the highlights of the smartphone. However, it is not without its cons. For one, it lacks an FHD display. The bezels are also quite huge and faster charging support would have been nice. But then again, all these technologies would have made the price a bit out of range for some users. So, considering what it is offering, we can say that the pricing is justified.

83% Cubot KingKong 8 Review: А Worthy Rugged Budget Phone 3-in-1
Source: Root Nation English EN→zh-CN
The Cubot KingKong 8 is a great choice for those seeking a budget-friendly and rugged device for all life situations. It’s not afraid of water, dust, or falls, it features a quite powerful and bright flashlight that easily replaces a separate one, has an impressive battery, and can also serve as a portable power bank for charging other devices. Additionally, the KingKong 8 offers good performance and a nearly “clean” Android experience without unnecessary bloatware. Yes, it may not boast a fancy display or impressive cameras, but considering its budget-friendly price tag, it’s hard to consider that a drawback.

只有较少的手机有很大的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
