Editorial report

Cubot KingKong AX 12 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The Cubot KingKong AX is for buyers who want a rugged phone with dust and water protection; its trade-off is a heavy, thick body. It carries IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings, measures 172 mm tall and 80.9 mm wide, and is 12.7 mm thick. At 296 g, it is heavier than most phones launched around the same time, so its size is worth weighing against the protection-focused design.

Its 6.58″ IPS LCD display has a 1080 × 2408 px resolution and 401 ppi pixel density, higher than that of most phones of its time. The 120 Hz refresh rate is typical for phones launched in the same period. The 12 GB of RAM is more than most offer, while its 256 GB of storage is expandable.

The rear camera’s 108 MP resolution is among the highest of its time, and its 1/1.52″ sensor is larger than most. It has no optical image stabilization, and its f/1.89 aperture is narrower than that of most phone cameras of its time. The 5100 mAh battery and 33 W charging are typical figures. Overall, the KingKong AX stands around the middle among phones launched around the same time. Its NeoScore is 5.6; it makes most sense for buyers who put a rugged build ahead of a lighter, slimmer phone.
