I believe that the Cubot Note 21, despite its shortcomings, will definitely gain a place in the market. The phone is very affordable, but it lasts a long time and does all its tasks well. For comparison, take a look at the pros and cons to make your final decision. The new Cubot Note 21 has its drawbacks, but it also has its advantages, thanks to which this affordable smartphone lasts a long time, takes acceptable photos, has a 90Hz screen and does a good job of all the tasks it is supposed to do.

6.56":

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.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


73.5%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
