NeoTeo's verdict

Which of the two is the better buy

The Cubot KingKong Ace 5 suits buyers who want performance, memory, and a large battery: it offers 8GB of RAM, 256GB, and 10,200 mAh versus 6GB, 128GB, and 7,000 mAh in the KingKong ES5. Their overall scores are close, but the Ace 5 leads on performance through its extra RAM and storage.

The Cubot KingKong ES5 is easier to carry and tougher: it weighs 301 g versus 352 g and is 11.4 mm thick versus 15.6 mm. It also adds a rugged build, six years of updates versus five, and Bluetooth 5.2 versus Bluetooth 5.0. Both displays reach 120Hz; the Ace 5 has Gorilla Glass, while the ES5 offers Mohs Level 6 hardness.

For cameras, the ES5 has a 64MP main camera versus 48MP, while the Ace 5 has a front camera with an f/2 aperture versus f/2.2. Both share 33W fast charging, a 400-nit IPS LCD display, expandable storage, and water resistance to 1.5 m. The choice is battery and memory on the Ace 5, or lower weight, ruggedness, and the higher-resolution main camera on the ES5.
