Editorial report
Cubot KingKong 9 technical sheet
The Cubot KingKong 9 is for buyers who want a rugged phone with a high-capacity battery. Its 10,600 mAh battery is among the highest-capacity options of its time, while 33 W charging is typical. Its size is a clear trade-off: at 390 g and 17.7 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones launched around the same time. The display also takes up less of the front than on most phones of its time.
The 6.58-inch display combines 1080 × 2408 px resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate. Its 401 ppi pixel density is higher than that of most displays of its time. The 12 GB of RAM is also more than most phones launched around the same time offer, while 256 GB of storage is typical. The processor is a MediaTek Helio G99. The phone has IP68, IP69, and IP69K protection, with a listed waterproof depth of 1.5 m.
The 100 MP camera resolution is higher than that of most phones of its time, but the camera overall is among the weakest. It also has no optical image stabilization. Other cameras include a 24 MP night-vision camera and a 5 MP macro camera. Overall, the Cubot KingKong 9 is typical for phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 4.9. It suits buyers who prioritize a large battery and rugged construction, and can accept a heavy, thick phone with a weaker camera showing overall.
