Verdict

The Cubot KingKong Star (24GB + 256GB) is a rugged 5G smartphone running Android 13, known for its exceptional durability with IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certifications, making it waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof. A main characteristic is its colossal 10600mAh battery with 33W fast charging, offering several days of use on a single charge, a major pro. It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G processor and boasts a large 6.78-inch Full HD+ main display, a unique 1.09-inch customizable rear screen, a 100MP main camera, and a 24MP night vision camera. The main con is its significant weight and bulkiness due to the large battery and rugged design, which some users find inconvenient to carry in a pocket, and the camera quality has received mixed reviews, sometimes producing blurry photos despite the high megapixel count. Additionally, some users have reported connectivity issues with specific network carriers like AT T and Verizon Wireless in the US, which are noted as unsupported.
