The Cubot KingKong 8, available since its release on October 23, 2023, is a rugged smartphone designed for users who require durability and an extended battery life. Running on the Android 13 operating system, it provides a reliable and robust mobile experience.
This smartphone is built to withstand tough conditions, boasting an IP68/IP69K dust and water resistance rating, drop-to-concrete resistance from up to 1.5m, and even a powerful 5000 lumens flashlight, which can be incredibly useful in various outdoor situations.
The device features a 6.53-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels, providing clear visuals. While it may not have the highest resolution, the focus here is on durability and longevity.
Under the hood, the Cubot KingKong 8 is powered by the Mediatek MT8788V/WA chipset, an octa-core CPU with four Cortex-A73 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores. It offers reliable performance for day-to-day tasks. The device comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, ensuring ample space for apps and data. Additionally, it supports expandable storage via a microSDXC card slot, though it shares the same slot as one of the SIM cards.
The camera system consists of a triple-camera setup on the back, including a 48MP primary lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 0.3MP camera. While the camera features are modest, they are functional. The 16MP front camera is suitable for selfies and video calls.
One of the standout features of the Cubot KingKong 8 is its colossal 10600mAh battery, ensuring prolonged usage between charges. It supports both wired and reverse wired charging, which means it can not only charge other devices but also offer a substantial power reserve.
