Cubot is now becoming the best Rugged Phone brand, I have introduced Cubot Kingkong 9 to my friend and my friend has bought is, now he is very happy

[@ilovenora]

I bump it, please do a comparison

[@Lovelycinthy]

I bump it too.. without a proper comparison I am truly lost

[@bananascieentist]

will Han do that? lets wait and see

[@rhbayutas]

Hi Han, I'm one of your loyal subscribers who greatly appreciate your honest reviews on smartphones. I especially like how you compare camera performance of top tier smartphones, which really help audience like me to decide which phone to choose from without second thoughts because you always give your final pick on which phone to choose/buy at the end of your videos.🙂 I am working in the infrastructure industry and would really love to own a rugged smartphone like the recent Cubot phones you've reviewed. My job entails working in the field, where exposure to harsh environment or weather conditions as well as manual handling are common. There are times that the phone that I bring to work is accidentally dropped and breaks. I'm thinking of buying a rugged phone, but would also consider receiving a giveaway gift from you.❤

[@shaneeegan]

I've had four Cubot phones over the last 7 years and they always deliver solidly. The King Kong Star is simply astounding for it's price point. Thanks so much for the genuinely honest review! Shane Egan, Clonmel, Tipperary, Ireland.

[@markpusko2480]

This is good to know I've never bought Cubot before. I've been happy with Ulefone & after problems I wont buy Doogee again.

[@johnsparkman2007]

​@@markpusko2480just to add some objectivity to this conversation I purchased the King Kong 5 about 2 years ago and didn't like it at all. Too buggy. Too many reasons to mention here, just to say that I really wanted to love that phone but couldn't. I'm hoping the Star changes my mind.

[@johnsparkman2007]

​@@markpusko2480funny how people's perception changes on a phone manufacturer. I now own the Doogee S96 GT and think it's a fantastic phone.

[@Aiast97]

How long these Cubot phones last before it's broken? If you have 4 phones the last 7 years, so maybe their average usage is only 2 years...

[@starimage6034]

Will this work in California?

[@markdharryllampitok6940]

Good day sir hans. New subscriber here. I do like your reviews with rugged smartphones because yours are very detailed ones and can be easily understood. I am really planning to buy one, because honestly speaking I have lost mine a month ago, but thanks to a very good friend who let me borrow his old phone mean time. I am still looking for a good quality (yet not that too pricy 😅) among other brands out there. But when I have heard with Cubot brand I got really interested and started to make some research about such brand.or company and I find them very reliable. And yes, when I see this Kingkong Star I really wanted that so bad already. Though, I have to be patient enough until my budget will be enough as well to purchase one of that. However, if will be given a chance by you then I might save some of my budget. 😍 Thank you for your very informative videos. Looking forward for your other videos especially reviewing rugged phones. More power to you. P.s. by the way I do really appreciate your response to my query on your other video review with wp19. Thanks once again.

[@MatheusOliveira-rw7ud]

Muito louco esse celular, ansioso pelo lançamento dia 7🎉

[@XWChannelXW]

Just subscribe! Love the informative hands on experience. Would have wanted to see how the 2nd screen work for selfie

[@reinhardtpeter3001]

King Kong STAR is the name of that smartphone? There is no question why you should own this phone ❤

[@tanvirmaali]

hahaha, yeah

[@bongapd]

This is really interesting. The device does indeed look cool, much more appealing than many ruggered massive battery smartphones. The camera also looked good enough. Would amazing to get 15 days of no battery worries. Thanks for a cool vid Han

[@tanvirmaali]

I agree with you

[@xiaomifangirl]

Truly this design is unique

[@raniarunajuly]

Now Cubot is on the same track of Xiaomi, releasing a lot of smartphones, personally I like it, a lot of options for us

[@Angelo_Tulibas]

Surprisingly for a rugged phone I didn't expect that it has a nice a camera and it also outperformed the Infinix Note 30 Pro when it comes to camera quality. The Huge Battery is also great and the design is very nice for a rugged phone. I never own a rugged phone before and If I'm Lucky to win this from you, it would be great ❤️

[@dgirfan]

does the front camera also have infrared?

[@omatujhesalam]

I am surprised by the camera performance, its almost unbelievable, I wish they will add a telephoto lens in their next smartphone

[@Kevinlocate]

looking forward

[@jujubejjj]

what is the peak brightness of the main display? is it useable under direct sunlight?

[@boombot934]

Thank you, good review Han😊

[@tanvirmaali]

Han please help us, do a comparison video between different cubot phones, this will help us to understand which one should we buy

[@robinmalibagh]

Cubot has made me confused, is it better than Cubot Kingkong 9?

[@anwarmiabd]

I am a bit confused too

[@curtisharrison424]

It is 5G where the King Kong 9 is 3G/LTE (4G).

[@markmarigmen9074]

The phone is very nice. And as to the review the specs are well explained. I wish to have that device soon.

[@caelventurah4815]

Thank you for this Video in detail - I am happy that you also gave us an Impression of the Sound of Music (not that often in introduction Videos of rugged Smartphones). I love rugged Smartphones but for me is also Important that it’s useful, solid and with a good Sound for my spotify playlist Sessions 😊

[@binwalkin8987]

It seems like a solid phone, I just got the bison gt2 and the 64 megapixel camera takes horrible pictures so I am looking for something decent

[@tshritcrystal]

Cubot has done better and better with their devices recently, kudos to Cubot.

[@bananascieentist]

Rugged smartphones are actually for a certain type of people, this is not for everyone, I am not sure whether a rugged phone suits me or not but I am sure I love the design of this Cubot Kingkong Star

[@omatujhesalam]

Yeah rugged smartphones are too good for a person like you

[@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82]

Best for outdoorsy people, that's why I'm checking it out. The big battery is appealing

[@stevedaszko1649]

A very helpful review, thanks.

[@HansTechTalk]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jonathanmagnata1245]

How long the battery will last?

[@Kevinlocate]

Good review as always, I think this smartphone has an outstanding benchmark score and gaming performance.

[@tarbs012]

Thank you for this review. Now i have few options.

[@HansTechTalk]

Glad I could help

[@sharifulalam7061]

I like the large battery!

[@thefrecklepuny]

Nice device. I am on a Cubot KK7 right now, so I can vouch for the toughness of these type of phone. Looking to switch to a 5G model, hen the interest in the KK Star. One question though. How do you think it compares to the Doogee V30 series?

[@derekmacaulay9251]

Do you know if cubot is giving updates to the king Kong Star I've heard that maybe up to android 15 is this true?

[@anwarmiabd]

I am not sure why Cubot has released this, because Cubot Kingkong 9 is a better performer, I think this one exists because some people would like to get Cubot Kingkong 9 type of performance at a budget price, but I will appreciate if Han can do a detailed comparison

[@erome5578]

How do feel the king Kong 9 is better? The only thing this phone doesn't have is the 120hz refresh rate of the KK9. This phone has the higher antutu score + it's 5g.

[@AshbringerOnyxia]

Exactly prefer also the KingKong Star..The 5G is a very important feature..

[@vishnu9180]

This has all features that I always wish for, everytime I'm on a solo trip. I carry a transparent cover to protect my phone from rain, Days are long and I have to save battery, Always worried of dropping the phone which will mess up my trip badly, Cant take the phone into the waters thus missing all the fantastic pics, etc. Basically these r the things that companies should improve. If u don't play games, u don't need more and more power. Just need ruggedness, Waterproofing and Battery.

[@StefanieLi]

It is a solid smartphone, I am satisfied with the display panel and back panel.

Han, thank you for the rewiew! I would love to be the lucky winner of that STAR cause i recently lost my cell phone in a MTB crash!

[@andrewadams9745]

Looks cool. Great review. 😎👍

[@HansTechTalk]

Thanks 👍

[@andrewadams9745]

I actually bought one before I saw the review. I want to know if I can keep the compass on permanently. Also it effects my games when the round panel is on sometimes. Any ideas?

[@derekmacaulay9251]

Is there any way to download extra watch face's for the back screen on cubot king Kong Star 5g phone thanks

[@TDC145]

I noticed the metal protection on the back screen that is on the King Kong 9 is not on this King Kong Star so for me it's a no I prefer King Kong 9

[@fiovious84]

Sir, can you do review on the water & durability test?

[@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82]

I am looking at this phone for navigation in hiking doesn't anyone know if this has a very accurate gps? What type of GPS does it have? 😳

[@ilovenora]

One of the best things about Han is that he always works hard and brings the best phone reviews for us. He always respect us, the audience, and his team, and he is always a polite in all of his videos. We congratulate ourselves on this achievement. More to come

For a while I had the King Kong 5 pro. For the money it was one of the best rugged smartphones I ever had. Currently I am running the BL 8800 blackview. It actually runs on the same processor but has a little smaller battery. Honestly I think I liked the King Kong 5 pro better in some aspects. So far blackview hasn't offered many updates. I am also not sure about the doke 3 OS add-on to the Android 11. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE GIVEN AWAY THE KING KONG STAR YET BUT I WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE THE LUCKY OWNER.
