Cubot C30 - copy and paste

Many users have already got used to the fact that the leaders of the smartphone market have an unusual tendency to create a number of practically identical models in their assortment. However, in some cases, this phenomenon is explainable. For example, Xiaomi and Huawei are adapting phones to the needs and tastes of residents of different countries. But with the hero of today's review, the situation is less straightforward.

In terms of design, the novelty repeats the previously released X30. Changed only the number of PV modules (four instead of five) and their design. The familiar shape and dimensions of the polycarbonate body, the identical 6.4-inch OGS screen with a 32-megapixel camera in the upper left corner, all testify to a similar exterior concept. Is that the color solutions have become more strict. The quality of the display is decent thanks to the resolution of 2310 x 1080 pixels, good brightness and contrast, there is also a small oleophobic coating, but in the price category there are already more interesting AMOLED screens.

The technical characteristics are presented not by the latest Mediatek Helio P60 processor, MaliG72 MP3 video adapter and as much as 8GB of RAM . The last parameter will allow you not to think about early closing applications in the tray, but the bundle is not quite ideal for games. You can only count on average graphics settings in resource-intensive game projects. But the internal storage is allocated as much as 128 / 256GB along with a slot for MicroSD cards .

The main 48-, 16-, 5- and 0.3-megapixel cameras, led by the Samsung GM1 sensor, have potential, but are somewhat spoiled by software and mediocre optics. Daytime shots will delight the eye with detail and color rendition, but in the evening the photos will be spoiled by noise, low dynamic range. The battery capacity is 4200mAh , it is the autonomy of the gadget that does not upset at all. About one and a half days of active use of the phablet are possible without power banks and searching for outlets. NFC and Android Q contactless payments are also not disadvantages, but I would like to see a separate headphone jack and a more democratic price tag. As a result, the device leaves a controversial impression due to the strong similarity with its predecessors and the overpriced.
