Cubot has now been around for a couple of years, and is currently a well known and generally respected China brand.
Up for preview today is the ultra-budget Cubot Note S. An incredibly well priced mobile for the specs we’re getting.
Cubot Note S specs specifications
SoC: MT6580
CPU: 4-core Cortex-A7@1.3GHz
GPU: Mali-400
RAM: 2GB
ROM storage: 16GB
Display: IPS 720P@5.5″ 2.5D glass
OS: Android 5.1
Rear camera: 5MP
Front camera: 2MP
OTG: Yes
Dual-SIM: Yes
2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 900/1900/2100MHz
Battery: 4150mAh
This phone carries the 900/1900/2100 WCDMA configuration, which means that all of UK/Euro and the majority of Asia will get 3G no problem. The inclusion of 1900 also makes it 3G compatible with most T-Mobile areas in the USA and many American countries.
TF SD expandable: Notably, the Cubot Note S supports both TF SD expansion and dual-SIM at the same time and the huge 4150mAh battery is removable, which means you can carry a charged spare, or easily swap out the battery a couple years down the road when the provided one begins to noticeably deteriorate.
Native American style: Interestingly, Cubot will be making a set of Native American back plates (see first pic in gallery below). A surprising choice, but something I would definitely rock if it were made available for my phone.
2GB RAM great price: There are a several things to like about the Cubot Note S. First thing that jumps out at me is the 2GB RAM 16GB storage at the very low price of $80. At there will be a sale starting this Monday (18-JAN-2016) with the Cubot Note S selling for $70.
Big battery: On top of the big RAM at a great price, we also get a relatively huge battery at 4150mAh. Combined with a 720P display, this should make for 7-9 hours straight onscreen use.
Those looking for an ultra-budget mobile with carriers supporting the above frequencies should give a hard look at the Cubot Note S.

Interpolation unfortunately doesn’t help clarity at all. All it does is make the file bigger and allow the manufacturer to put a white-lie on the spec sheet.
Either way, interpolated or not, the quality will not be near what you would get from a flagship Samsung. Perhaps if compared to a budget bottom of the line Samsung they might be comparable.

Damian ParsonsMember of GizBeatAdministratorHello Collins, this is probably because you're seeing the interpolated resolution on some spec sheets.Thank you…And does its camera resemble the clarity of most Samsung cameras?
