Editorial report

Cubot A40 4 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The Cubot A40 suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone with a large display and expandable storage; its main trade-offs are modest performance and a screen with low sharpness and brightness. This version pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage, and the phone is also sold with 256 GB. Its 6.88″ IPS LCD display runs at 120 Hz and has 720 × 1640 px resolution and 260 ppi. The refresh rate is typical for phones of its time, but pixel density is lower than most, and its 450-nit peak brightness is among the weakest.

The Unisoc T606 and 4 GB of RAM put the hardware among the weakest of its time; the stated AnTuTu result is 240,000. The 48 MP camera has an f/2.2 aperture, and the setup also includes 2 MP ultrawide and macro cameras. The camera overall is typical, although both its 48 MP resolution and aperture are worse than most phones of its time. The 5,100 mAh battery capacity is typical, while 18 W charging is slower than most.

Android 15, NFC, dual SIM, a 3.5 mm audio jack, stereo speakers and expandable storage cover useful everyday features; reverse charging is also supported. Connectivity is worse than most phones of its time. With a NeoScore of 4.7, the A40 is a basic option for anyone prioritizing a large screen, recent software and expandable storage, and willing to accept clear limits in performance, brightness and sharpness.
