Editorial report
Cubot KingKong 8 6 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet
The Cubot KingKong 8 is for buyers seeking a rugged phone with a large-capacity battery; its main trade-off is its weight and considerable thickness. At 382 g and 20 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time. IP68, IP69 and IP69K protection covers water and dust, and the phone also resists drops from up to 2 m.
Its 10,600 mAh battery capacity is among the highest of its time. 33 W charging is typical, while reverse charging can supply power to another device. This version has 6 GB of RAM and expandable 256 GB storage. The 6.53-inch IPS LCD display has a typical density of 270 ppi; its 75.2% usable screen area is lower than on most phones of its time. Performance is also worse than on most phones launched around the same time.
The 48 MP camera resolution is lower than that of most phones of its time, and the camera is among the weakest. Connectivity also ranks worse than on most. Android 13, NFC, USB-C, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 round out the features. Its overall NeoScore is 4.3. The KingKong 8 is best suited to buyers who prioritize a high-capacity battery and physical resistance, and can accept a bulky phone with a modest camera.
