What we don't like about CUBOT Kingkong 9 (24GB + 512GB)

  • Substantial weight and bulk make it difficult for comfortable one-handed use or carrying in small pockets.
  • Charging speed is relatively slow given the massive battery capacity, taking several hours for a full charge.
  • The main camera performance can be inconsistent, particularly with white balance and in low-light conditions.
  • Limited carrier compatibility in certain regions (e.g., does not support AT&T or Verizon in the US).

Verdict

The Cubot KingKong 9 is a rugged smartphone built with IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certifications for dust, water, and drop resistance, ideal for outdoor use. It features a 6.58-inch FHD+ 120Hz display and a 1.32-inch custom cover screen on the rear for notifications. The phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 octa-core processor and boasts a generous 24GB of RAM (via virtual expansion) and 512GB of internal storage (expandable up to 1TB). A major pro is its massive 10600mAh battery with 33W fast charging, offering days of use on a single charge, along with a versatile camera system including a 100MP main sensor and a 24MP night vision camera. Primary cons reported by users include its significant bulk and weight (around 390g), cameras that may not always live up to their high megapixel count in real-world performance (especially in low light or with moving subjects), and a lack of support for major US carriers like AT T and Verizon.
