Cubot Deals & Offers

This deal is available from tomorrow

I don't mean fake as in megapixels I mean fake as not even there, just a hole with a lens, no sensor.

Its the camera that always the weak part of these Chinese phones. I think its a Samsung sensor, no review yet tho.

Aren't half of those cameras fake?

Looks like an awesome phone, are there any drawbacks if shipped from EU?

As per previous post, I'd recommend Ulefone Armor range too. Got an x5 recently for mountain biking . Build seems great, huge battery. Currently 90usd on Aliexpress. Also there's the smaller x7 Pro (prerelease) 80usd.

Sounds interesting. I don't see any refurbished phones on their website. Do you have a link you can share please?

Had similar with Doogee. Xiaomi or high St brands only for me.

All the Ulefone Armor range are good mate , tough rugged , waterproof , get them on Alixpress and probaby ebay , Amazon if you need it quicker . Designed for builders and outdoor enthusiasts , so they can take a beating ! I had the Armor 5s , cracking phone and used for mountain biking , hillwalking . Also Doogee do rugged phones and Blackview always pop up on rugged phone searches. Have a look and the wee man can throw his phone away to his heart content ! Good luck .

Just bought a Nuu mobile G3 spec 4gb ram 64gb storage premium build phone dual camera for £75 refurbished £199 on there official site

My hermes or yodel probably (cheeky) :D

£14.99 for delivery to a Post Code in Scotland! Not Highlands or Islands, what kind of weird delivery company are they using.

Cool mate, well happy for you

I got umidigi power 3 from Amazon for £118 great phone took me ages find right one so many phones got the right one in the end XD

Ended up buying the 64gb version from AliExpress for £72, with hopefully 7% tcb on top

let us know when it does arrive. and your opinion of the phone. it is back on sale, so hopefully should go cheaper - by the should have some decent reviews lol!

Finally received my despatch email ETA unknown

to be fair, cubot and umidigi are decent, they have enough reviews/following on to tell you these are legit budget phones, try youtubing them.

taken a punt on this as pretty cheap, does anyone know if this has fm radio? different sites about specs are conflicting

No gyro, no WiFi 5 ac

I had a Xiaomi phone which also developed a problem recently. Same decision as you, I would have preferred another Xiaomi but it was a case of what I could get quickly. I bought a Cubot phone (X19) from Amazon last week (£99) - seems to be similar specced to this. Works perfectly well and does what I need it do to. Maybe it's not as good a brand with updates etc but it's certainly decent enough for the money.

Woeful phone for that price, cubot is one of those generic shenzen manufactuers except they're bottom tier that they shovel out these cheap garbage phones that aren't even good value with fake multiple cameras, no updates and make clones of more popular phones. Garbage brand and a garbage phone Note 8T for just £20 from Mi UK would completely destroy this

Nah, no probs, they've been about a long time now.

Used to be all over this site years ago.

Same screen pic.

The link still doesn't work, I only found it by Googling for the apk.

Thanks for the link. When I originally tried it provided a qr code which led to 'item not found retry'

apkpure.com/cubot-s1/com.zftx.wristband

You can download the app direct from the Cubot site: https://www.cubot.net/contact/apk-download.html

Please advise the name of the app you used from apkpure

Cool this is a great deal in that case will now give it some heat

The last 4 phones I've had have been clean, they even advertise no malware anymore too on various promos etc

Have cubot stopped putting the inbuilt malware on Thier phones ? If they have then it's a great buy ..if not avoid like the plague !!! I had a cubot dinosaur and it was a very capable phone but I sold it as soon as I found out about the malware issues however they were not the only manufacturers doing so at the time Not voted on this deal as for the tech it's a good price (y) just unsure cubot can be trusted ????

Welcome. ))

Cheers man. :)

That's your problem - you keep on posting 'deals' for items that you know nothing about. The doctored ROM on this is pure junk and riddled with adware. Camera is terrible too. Stick to Xiaomi if you have a budget phone - as least they're reliable.

My first and last Cubot lasted 19 days before the screen burnt out.. caveat emptor..

Good enough. Oh, will check the Chinese sites. ali and Gearbest.

My missus loves hers, though she ain't the most techie person in the world, though she does take some good photos on it.

As long it's decent that's fine. The reason why I want to be 5G enabled just to be "future" proof. It will be a phone I have to use in the next 12+ months. The Note 10+ might have to go bk.

Tbf the pocaphone is made by Xiaomi who may be Chinese, but they're in a different league to all the other Chinese brands. I stopped buying other Chinese brands years ago, and now only buy Xiaomi phones. They're amazing, although not without their issues like all phones. The Pocaphone is an amazing phone and I highly recommend you purchase it, but then that's just the opinion of me. Some random guy on the internet :)

I don't have this phone... I have resisted temptation to buy these chinese phones and instead keep getting old flagships etc lg g5 2nd hand and replacing battery. I know some people have talked about turning a pocaphone f1 into a pixel by installing google camera software. I don't know anything about it but suggests there is some software magic potentially you can improve things even if hardware might also be weak.

I bought my daughter this for Christmas after it was posted on HUKD in the Amazon black Friday deals. The votes were hot as were the reviews. When it arrived it was huge compared to my phone samsung s9 and really heavy. However it's not that much bigger than the Huawei phone it was replacing. She's not happy with the camera but everything else is really good the battery life is excellent. I don't know if it's the settings or what tho as the camera spec is good and has excellent reviews but her photos are not very sharp quite grainy. Maybe it has a fault? When she comes home tomorrow we're going to have another look before contacting the seller on Amazon for help. Ive not voted hot or cold as I'm undecided yet. It depends on the camera issue being resolved or not. Just thought I'd share our recent experience with this phone.

I wouldn't trust this brand. They were selling phones laden with malware. Granted it was a couple of years ago, but I'd take a similarly priced Xiaomi over a cubit any day. https://techweez.com/2017/09/19/cubot-malware/

Redmi note 8 is a great phone! You can get the note 8T on contract from three for £19 a month if you wanted one on contract!

The listing is completely gone now! So, Expired, again :)

Expired, just realised all colours are OOS. Edit: Actually, un-Expired, more of the Green colour has appeared.

I'm thinking about dirt cheap android 5" screen though , literally for a teleprompter app only. Anything out there sub 30/40?

Only Green left now :) Please update if there are any network issues, I really can't see much feedback about this model of phone at all, at the moment! :S

Can't see it on Amazon reviews - where did you read that? I think if it was an issue it would have cropped up on there by now, but some think the reviews are a bit spammy. Really hard to say as this phone is reasonably new and finding Feedback about it (never mind Youtube reviews) at the moment is a bit of a challenge. xda doesn't even have a section about this phone - Google tends to come up with the OPPO R15 Pro.

Seems to be £55.99 now. I did a Deal for the Cubot R15 Pro yesterday (Lightning Deal).

Very good

The Cubot Magic Bean?? Is that the latest model? My last one had a couple of giant issues

Cubot magic has been a great phone

I had a cubot liked it so much I bought the factory

The 3000 mAh battery lets it down a bit, but Android 9 uses lots less battery than previous versions. The X 19 has a 4000mAh battery and I haven't got near to draining it in one day, even using it for satnav and internet radio all day most days. Good buy if you can get it for the £60 you paid.

Just trying to get people familiar with Cubot being actually quite a good brand, especilially if bought from a UK supplier. (Warranty returns simpler) https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.cubot.net

Thanks, but it doesn't mention the R15 Pro in that article at all! PS: I added a link to a Russian Youtube unboxing/review to the bottom of the main Deal post, with camera/video samples. Also, the Amazon blurb says,【Two-years free repair in Europe】We have after-sales service center in Europe. but I can't see any feedback about that.

Cubot phone reviews. https://www.review-hub.co.uk/top-5-cubot-phones-comparison-whats-the-best-cubot-phone/

Laptops Direct doing a Cubot x 19 for less than £100. Amazing phone for the money. Been using Cubot phones for years. The X19 is the best of the budget crop. Well, well, worth the money. https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/cubot-x19-black-5.9-64gb-4g-dual-sim-unlocked-sim-free-cub-x19-blk/version.asp

Yeah but which cubot? The early models were crap and tbh I recently told a friend to go with cubot but at the time to go with the x19........ they ordered a £70 model instead and expected it to be as good as a samsung but it really was crap lol I had the cheetah 2 the x18 and x19 and all have been a pretty decent phone, but hey you cant expect to pay £120-£150 for a item and expect it to be every bit good as a £500-£600 item. Thatd be like buying a goodmans hd TV and expecting a tv like a Samsung oled 4k qualty set.

I have to be honest I've had a three cubot phones and only had a issue with one after a few months where the screen went faulty, and contacted Cubot directly with my fault I returned it directly to them (I had to pay postage) to a uk address where they must have checked it or then sent it on I'm not sure but the fault was under warranty and they sent the phone back with a new screen in and working. Apart from that which wasnt really a issue as sorted out I've been very happy with them especially considering the price tag these have, I changed to these after dropping my then new ish samsung phone on the floor and found myself paying twice the cost of buying one of these just to replace the broken screen on the Samsung ha ha ha I'm going to order two of these x20 pros now one for me and my lad before they go up in price to be honest.

I did own a Cubot. Got rid of it sharpish and will never get another cheap tat Chinese phone.

Scanned mine with AVG and nothing found.Just scanned again with Malwarebytes and nothing found, don't listen to the hysteria of people that do not even own one of these phones

Bought this phone during the last sale at £125 and it really is a decent piece of kit for the price. For the doubters of triple cameras they really do exist on this phone.Using Open Camera you can scroll through all 4 cameras (3 rear 1 front ) and it gives a different perspective to each photo.This can be confirmed by covering the lenses with a finger and each time a different lens is used.So people that do not own one stop spreading lies.......and the battery life is fantastic!! Also purchased a USB C headphone adaptor off eBay for a couple of quid and it works fine even with the built in FM radio which uses the lead as an aerial.The phone has a glass back case but comes in a protective clear case.

Bit late but any flip cases available for this phone? Struggling to find any

Install NoRoot Firewall on your UK phone and you maybe surprised at the amount of data going out to suspicious servers. With these Chinese phones, as long as you can wipe the OS and install LineageOS they're a good buy (I don't this the Cubit X20 Pro supports Lineage yet).

I Duno tbh. Went down a rabbit hole the last hour researching this and it’s just reinforced my original opinion that Chinese phones are just too risky. It’s a different culture over there and the government has control of every company. Just saying, for me, not worth it

The difference is that Xiaomi are nothing to do with the Chinese government, unlike Huawei. Equally, the Android One devices are developed closely with Vodafone.

Tbh I avoid all Chinese phones at the moment, seems too risky when there’s alternatives. Is Xiaomi safe? How about Huawei? Just seems like there’s no line between government and industry over there. But xiaomi does have some awesome looking phones.

Thanks for info, it is a bit of an eyeopener so easy to forget this malaware is constant

Reading the above comments... ...Android, what did you expect?!

This wasn't the malware I had but shows they are still doing it 3 months ago

Was thinking good price for specs, one xmas pressy sorted, but (spyware hatches) remarks killed it for me.

Got burnt once with Cubot, never again, spyware hatches about 4/5 weeks from new and you can't remove it.

It has one of the worst cameras you can have in a phone. However, the phone looks very nice and the battery is good too.

didn't know that. saw the new iPhone and thought it was revolutionary until i saw this deal.

All these specs, but still no NFC? I know it's only £125, but... ... have given heat anyway...

Pixel 4 actually ;)

...that's it on the new iPhone.

I have the X17 and it was OK but never updated, still on Android 5.1 :(

Cheap for a reason.

Are they back! They only last a few months but I'm not trying to put anyone off.
