Editorial report

Cubot Note 21 6 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The Cubot Note 21 suits buyers looking for a straightforward Android phone who prioritize battery capacity. Its trade-off is that several display and hardware specifications are worse than those of most phones launched around the same time. The 5200 mAh battery has more capacity than most, while 10 W charging is among the weakest of its time.

The 6.56-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1612 px and 269 ppi, a lower pixel density than most phones of its time. Its 90 Hz refresh rate is also lower than that of most. This version pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, less than most phones launched around the same time; storage is expandable. The Unisoc T606 records 251,600 points in AnTuTu v10, below the results of most phones of its time.

The 50 MP camera with an f/1.8 aperture has typical specifications, but the camera overall is worse than most phones launched around the same time. It has no optical image stabilization. Android 13, Dual Nano-SIM, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou navigation round out the listed features. Overall, the Cubot Note 21 is worse than most phones launched around the same time and earns a NeoScore of 4.4. It is best suited to buyers who put a 5200 mAh battery ahead of display resolution, performance, and charging speed.
