Editorial report

Cubot KingKong ES 6 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The Cubot KingKong ES suits anyone looking for a rugged phone with water and dust protection. Its IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings, plus a stated water-resistance depth of 1.5 m, define that focus. The trade-off is a weight of 268 g and a thickness of 12.8 mm. Android 14 with Google Services comes with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage.

The 6.56-inch IPS LCD display runs at 90 Hz, a lower refresh rate than most phones of its time. Its hardware also sits below most, with an AnTuTu score of 225,000. The 48 MP camera has no optical image stabilization, and the camera system is among the weakest of its time. The 5,100 mAh battery and 33 W charging are typical figures for its time. The EU energy label lists 53 h 11 min per cycle.

This is a straightforward choice for buyers who put rugged protection ahead of a light build, stronger performance or a competitive camera system. Its overall NeoScore is 4.1.
