Cubot P40 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Cubot P40 - is the camera phone?

Already few people remember the days when the Chinese company Kubot had every chance to reach the first echelon of developers. The quality and functionality of the manufacturer’s products were noticeably superior to those of most opponents, the phones of the company for a large number of users were associated with good software and good build. However, the situation has changed, and the corporation is trying to survive in the market. So, the hero of today's review is positioned as an inexpensive, but extremely worthy unit for photography lovers. Unfortunately, in real life this is not the case.

The appearance of the novelty is modern and stylish. An interesting design of as many as four photomodules, a 6.2-inch bezel - less OGS panel and memorable body colors look decent for a budget device, though made of polycarbonate to reduce costs. But there is almost no saving on the display. High brightness and contrast settings make working with the screen quite comfortable even in direct sunlight. Only a resolution of 1520 x 720 pixels affects detail, but improves performance.

Specifications are not the worst for the segment. The Mediatek Helio A22 processor , 4GB of RAM and the PowerVR GE8320 video adapter perfectly cope with the Android Q interface, but game applications run on them are extremely undemanding to resources. Otherwise, you will have to set the minimum graphics settings or be content with jams. But the ROM is allocated as much as 128GB , and the microSD card slot is not forgotten. Thus, it is hardly necessary to complain about the lack of internal storage memory.

The main 12-, 5-, 2-, and 0.3-megapixel cameras still cannot provide photographic capabilities sufficient for high-quality night shooting. You should only rely on clear and detailed daytime shots. But the 20-megapixel front camera is ready to give saturated selfies without much noise. The capacity of the removable battery was 4200mAh , so one and a half days of active use of the gadget will become not only a reality, but also a common thing. There is support for NFC , you can not forget about contactless payments. As a result, the resulting device is suitable for unpretentious customers who do not require record power from mobile assistants.
