Cubot X18 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Cubot X18 - stylish and optimal

The expenditure of money for buying a smartphone can reach thousands of dollars. But not everyone who likes smart phones can afford such amounts. In most cases, savings are side by side with compromises in the appearance of the unit and its functionality. But the hero of today's review is actually spared from this kind of concessions despite his modest price.

The body of the novelty will impress even the most demanding customer thanks to the 5.7 inches screen, the beautiful design of a camera and a fingerprint sensor, curved edges and the same hardened glass of the front panel. The device looks expensive and attractive, and the OGS-panel with a resolution at 1440x720 pixels makes an excellent impression. An effective oleophobic coating, high brightness and contrast settings, good image clarity - a combination that is rare in a low price segment.

The Mediatek MTK6737T processor, combined with 3GB of RAM and the Mali T720-MP2 graphics accelerator, provides a decent level of performance. A bundle will suffice for all resource-intensive gaming applications, but the graphics settings can be raised above the minimum not in all cases. ROM is allocated 32GB, and a microSD slot is here. So it's not worth worrying about the lack of memory even to the owners of collections of lossless music.

The rear 16-megapixel camera was created for smart photos at daylight or close to that. At night, pictures are characterized by noise, but within the limits of the value category, we can not expect more. The 5-megapixel front photomodule deserves the same words. The capacity of the built-in battery is 3200mAh. Not very high by today's standards, but to expect 5-6 hours of active screen time from the gadget is quite reasonable. 4G, OTG, Android 7.1 strengthen the faith in the success of the device and give the opportunity to recommend it to everyone.
