Cubot Note 7 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Cubot Note 7 - released for oblivion

The tastes of the smartphone market audience are becoming more sophisticated. If a few years ago a developer had enough to give it a "flagship" design to release a commercially successful phone in a low price segment, then current users also demand decent functionality and autonomy from such devices. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review is partially deprived of these features.

The appearance of the novelty is relevant and not bad for the value category. Unusual, but more than interesting and attractive body colors, new-fashioned design of the triple camera in the style of Samsung Galaxy S20, small frames of the 5.5-inch display make a favorable impression. But the IPS-screen itself has a layer of air between the glass and the sensor and has a modest resolution of 960x480 pixels. The picture lacks clarity; in direct sunlight, the image almost completely loses its visibility.

The technical characteristics are very mediocre. There is no other epithet for the Mediatek MT6737 processor , 2GB of RAM and the PowerVE8100 video adapter. You will have to forget about demanding games, only casual projects will be launched on the device. The volume of internal storage is 16GB of ROM , but you can expand it with microSD memory cards . It is a pity that this cannot be done with performance.

The main 13- and 0.3-megapixel (pair) photo modules come in handy for daytime shooting, they stand up against the background of opponents and provide basic photographic capabilities for capturing documents and static objects. The 5-megapixel front - facing module is extremely simple and will replace only a mirror, and even then not always. The battery received a capacity of 3100mAh and gives out about 6-7 hours of active screen time. This figure may not be enough for a number of buyers. Other pluses include Android Q, support for 4G frequencies and a separate headphone jack. As a result, the resulting device would have received good sales in 2017, but not today.
