Editorial report

Cubot KingKong ES 3 technical sheet

The Cubot KingKong ES 3 suits buyers who want a rugged phone with an unusually large battery and can accept a heavy, thick body. Its 10,200 mAh battery is among the largest in phones of its time. Charging is 33 W, while the EU energy label lists 61 h per charge cycle. IP68, IP69, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H protection cover water, dust, impacts and drops.

The main trade-off is the physical design. At 352 g and 15.3 mm thick, the phone is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time. Its 6.75″ IPS LCD runs at 90 Hz, but the refresh rate, 260 ppi density and 74.1% usable surface are worse than most. The 6 GB of RAM is also less than most phones of its time, while 256 GB of storage is typical. AnTuTu 10 records 225,000 points, placing this hardware among the weakest of its time.

The 48 MP rear camera resolution is worse than most, and optical image stabilization is absent. Connectivity is worse than most, although the phone includes NFC, dual Nano-SIM support, USB-C, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0 and several navigation systems. With a NeoScore of 4.3, the KingKong ES 3 is a focused choice for battery capacity and resistance rather than lightness, display refinement or performance.
