Reviews for the Cubot KingKong Star 2

84% Cubot KingKong Star 2 5G Smartphone Review: Stylish and Rugged
Source: Root Nation English
This model boasts enhanced resistance to drops, water, dust, and other environmental factors, along with a very powerful processor that ensures a good user experience. You will definitely appreciate the fact that a charger is included in the package. Moreover, the Cubot KingKong Star 2 is an armored smartphone that meets the IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H durability standards. The main downside for me is the main screen, which has a limited number of settings. Out of the three rear cameras, only the main one is really usable, while one of them isn’t used at all. The translation of the interface into Ukrainian could also use some improvement. Other than that, the device is quite interesting. The Cubot KingKong Star 2 is a smartphone designed for people who prioritize high durability, solid performance, and good features, while other specifications may not be as important. I’m confident that this smartphone will be a reliable companion for travel, extreme adventures, and everyday life.

6.72":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
