Today we are going to talk about one of the most curious mobiles of the latest generation of smartphones . The Chinese company Cubot presents the Cubot King Kong Mini , a phone that not only stands out for its striking name, but also for being one of the smallest on the market. But what really concerns us is whether this device meets the essential requirements to make your purchase profitable. Read on to know the features and technical specifications that a compact smartphone can offer.

The King Kong Mini is not the first Cubot model that stands out for its appearance and shape . We already talked, for example, of the Cubot Quest Lite , which was a rugged and slim model. Now, the brand continues with this strategy of developing different devices, but does this affect its technical performance?

Design: Cubot King Kong Mini, one of the smallest phones on the market

Undoubtedly , design is the aspect that has been most affected by the trend and the brand style . It is the tool that Cubot uses to differentiate its products from those of the competition. In this case, as its name suggests, the Cubot King Kong Mini is a phone that is smaller than normal. With measurements of 119 x 58 x 12.1 mm and weighing 119 grams , this smartphone is a phone little policy that almost fits in the palm of a hand.

It features a uniquely designed model made of black plastic and rubber with orange finishes. The cut is very modernist, with two rear cameras that we will talk about now, and one front as a notch. It does not have fingerprint unlocking, which also affects its design. On the back, apart from the cameras, there is the brand name engraved on the plastic.

Screen and cameras: Cubot King Kong Mini, one of the smallest phones on the market

The screen has a size of four inches , small, it is evident, but according to the idea of ​​the model. A resolution of 1080 x 540 , and an aspect ratio of 16: 9, are unusual features. Although they are standardized by the QHD or quarter HD models, typical of small mobile phones. Not to be confused with the Quad HD resolution type (also known as QHD), which refers to a type of resolution four times higher than standard high definition. In addition, the screen has a contrast of 1300: 1 and a fairly decent brightness. Overall, the screen is not of a very high quality, but it fits what the model can offer and performs quite well.

In terms of cameras, the Cubot King Kong Mini is still trying to live up to expectations, but it falls a bit short again. The main camera has two lenses, one of 13 megapixels and the other of 2 megapixels that act in a dual way.This means that the second objective is only used as a complement to the first, calculating depth of field. This camera is capable of taking good photos in favorable lighting conditions, but when the light goes out, the images lose a lot of quality despite its LED flash. It allows a 1080p recording, but again suffers in quality once the natural light is lost. For its part, the front camera has a beauty mode that works quite well, but its 8 megapixels are not enough to overcome the lack of light, a keynote within this phone.

Processor, adapter, and operating system

This mobile phone has an IPS panel , which allows a good representation of colors. Its processor is the MT6761, 2.0GHz, Quad-Core 64-bit , which together with 3GB of RAM and a PowerVR GE8300 adapter complete a technical section of medium-low quality. Even so, it allows to run the vast majority of applications and games in low graphics quality, but it is not highly recommended since its aspect ratio will not make them comfortable at all. In this sense, the model leaves much to be desired, but it fits the brand’s offer. From the operating system we can say that it is the most common in most smartphones on the market, Android , but in this case version 9.0.

The formula they use is that of many other brands; use components of a low quality, but with good results. With this they manage to get a cheap and effective model, which together with its characteristic size, becomes very striking.

Internal memory, battery and connectivity

The internal memory of the device is 32 GB , quite low compared to most models today. Supplement this problem with a MicroSD card slot , which will allow greater storage of documents and applications. However, it would be convenient if it had more space as standard and not have to make an economic investment on our own.

The battery is quite good , since it has 2000 mAh, which, added to a battery saving system, makes it difficult to run out of battery in normal circumstances of use. Even so, it does not have fast charging, a point against the device. The type of charger is a USB with which it fits the type C plug.

The last aspect to be discussed is that of connectivity , which again is quite limited. It has the most common Bluetooth and WiFi systems . It also allows connection via USB, but nothing that not all models on the market offer. More noteworthy is the absence of NFC , which allows you to pay with a card through the device, a feature that has been highly valued in recent times.

Availability and price of the Cubot King Kong Mini

This review has made it clear that the King Kong Mini is a device with many problems . Is your purchase profitable? To be honest, it is not a model that closely matches the required demand. Their buyer profile is very specific , and they are those who want a small phone. The brand plays with that factor, and knows perfectly that there are not many smartphone users with these preferences.

Therefore, if what you are looking for is a mini phone , which also meets the features that most models offer today, you may find it interesting. But you can’t expect this Cubot model to give you above-average results in any of its tools. As we have been able to see, it is a yes but not constant, which is adjusted at a not very high price. Here we leave links to buy this model:
