Hi guys!
This is Tech Brothers.
Today we want to talk about new smartphone Cubot X18.
It is full-screen smartphone, just like Samsung Galaxy S8.
The previous Cubot X17 was released in 2015.
It had great features, good build-quality and Full HD screen.
However, the market has changed a lot for two years, and new smartphone follows the
latest trends, such as bezel-less.
Cubot X18 comes with 18:9 display aspect ratio and 5.7-inch diagonal.
The display resolution is only 1440x720 pixels.
Also, smartphone has 3GB of RAM, and low-end MediaTek chipset combined with basic Mali
graphics.
You should note that Cubot X18 is budget smartphone, and it can be good alternative to the new
displays on LG G6 and Galaxy S8.
By the way, in description under the video you can find links, where you can buy this
smartphone for $60.
So, let’s take a closer look at Cubot X18, and see what it has to offer.
We like that most chinese manufacturers like Cubot uses 18:9 aspect ratio for smartphone
displays.
The display Cubot X18 is not Full HD, it’s a vertically stretched 720 x 1280 resolution
display.
With the diagonal 5.7 inches, we’re going to see pixels.
In terms of design X18 looks good.
The top and bottom areas are very small, so the smartphone has impressive screen-to-body
ratio of 83%.
It uses on-screen buttons and due to the high-screen ratio, the fingerprint reader is on the back.
We are little disappointed of specifications of Cubot X18.
This hardware setup was used two years ago.
The smartphone is powered by MediaTek MT6737T processor with clock speed 1.5 GHz.
Also, it has 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage.
We think, that Cubot X18 has about 30-40 thousand scores in AnTuTu test.
We like, that Cubot uses stock Android 7.0 Nougat.
You cannot find Chinese applications and settings.
If performance of smartphone is quite modest, then camera should be good.
Cubot X18 comes with 16-megapixel sensor from Sony with f/2.2 aperture.
Also, there is 13-megapixel sensor from Samsung on the front panel.
Battery life on Cubot X18 doesn’t look good.
It has a battery capacity of 3200 mAh.
Of course, you can expect full working day of battery life, but no more.
We expect more powerful hardware from Cubot X18.
However, we like, that new smartphone has beautiful design with 18:9 ratio display.
The price of smartphone is about $160, and it is really good deal.
Also, you can get Cubot X18 even cheaper for $120 or $60.
Details about it in description under the video.
