CONS

  1. The phone is very heavy and bulky, weighing nearly 400 grams.
  2. Average or underwhelming camera performance despite the high 100MP specification.
  3. Lack of optical image stabilization (OIS) leads to blurry photos in low light.
  4. No support for wireless charging, which is often expected in modern, larger phones.
  5. 33W fast charging is relatively slow given the massive battery capacity.
  6. No 3.5mm headphone jack is present, requiring an adapter for wired audio.
  7. The screen brightness is merely average, making outdoor visibility tough under direct sunlight.
  8. The rear screen is quite small and lacks extensive app integration, limiting its utility.
  9. Software updates and long-term support for smaller brands like Cubot can be unreliable.
  10. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor can be unreliable or stop working over time, according to some users.
