Editorial report

Cubot KingKong Star technical sheet

The Cubot KingKong Star suits buyers looking for a rugged phone with a particularly large battery; the trade-off is its considerable weight and thickness. Its 10,600 mAh battery is among the largest capacities in phones from its time, while 33 W charging is typical. It has IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust protection, but weighs 395 g and measures 17.8 mm thick.

Its 100 MP camera resolution is higher than that of most cameras from its time, yet the camera overall is among the weakest and has no optical image stabilization. It records video at 1080p. The 6.78-inch IPS LCD display has 1080 × 2460 px resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate; both that refresh rate and its 75% screen-to-body ratio are worse than most phones of its time. Its 12 GB of RAM exceeds what most phones of its time offer, while 256 GB storage is typical; this is the only configuration listed. Overall hardware, connectivity and battery standings are typical, even as battery capacity stands out.

Android 13, NFC, 5G and dual nano-SIM support cover common features, and there is also a secondary display. Its overall NeoScore is 4.9, worse than most phones launched around the same time. It is best suited to buyers who prioritize a very large battery and water and dust protection, and can accept a heavy, thick phone with a camera that is its main weakness.
