Editorial report

Cubot Max 5 12 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The Cubot Max 5 suits anyone looking for a large, fluid display and ample memory for apps and games. Its 144 Hz refresh rate is among the highest of phones from its time, while 12 GB of RAM and an AnTuTu result of 980,500 put its hardware ahead of most. The trade-off is a 223 g body that is heavier than most, and its 9.2 mm thickness is greater than that of most phones from its time.

Connectivity is also better than that of most phones from its time, with 5G, NFC and Wi-Fi 6. The main camera’s 100 MP resolution is higher than that of most, but the camera setup overall is typical; the main camera has neither optical image stabilization nor optical zoom. Its 5,100 mAh battery and 33 W charging are typical figures. The 6.95-inch IPS LCD display is joined by 256 GB of non-expandable storage and Android 14 with Google services.

With an overall NeoScore of 6.1, the Cubot Max 5 is worth considering for anyone prioritizing a high-refresh-rate display, generous RAM and strong connectivity, and willing to accept a heavier, thicker body and a main camera without optical stabilization.
