Reviews for the Cubot KingKong Star

88% Cubot KingKong Star review: A rugged smartphone with an extra screen
Source: Root Nation English
In general, Cubot KingKong Star showed itself on the good side. Quality build, interesting and memorable design, good large display with 90 Hz, good level of performance and autonomy. Cameras do not grab stars from the sky, but in general, and they can be said to be not bad. I personally did not find any significant shortcomings in KingKong Star, so I can safely recommend this model. Cubot's flagship rugged smartphone. Quality build, interesting design, good display, good performance, battery life and cameras. If you take it at a discount, you will get a good device for its price.
