What we don't like about CUBOT Kingkong Star 2 (24GB + 256GB)

  • Main IPS display lacks brightness and accurate color reproduction compared to OLED competitors
  • Limited battery capacity (5100mAh) compared to other rugged phones in the series like the KingKong X Pro
  • Inconsistent camera performance, specifically with macro shots and lack of optical image stabilization (OIS)
  • Absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack
  • Average low-light video detail and contrast levels
  • Interface translation quality can be inconsistent in certain languages

Verdict

The Cubot KingKong Star 2 is a durable, rugged smartphone running Android 14, primarily characterized by its IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certifications for water, dust, and drop resistance, and powered by a capable MediaTek Dimensity 8200 5G processor. Key specifications include a large 6.72-inch FHD+ 144Hz main display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, an unusual but functional 1.85-inch secondary rear screen, a substantial 24GB of RAM (12GB physical + 12GB extended), and 256GB of ROM storage. It features a 100MP main rear camera, a 32MP front camera, a 5100mAh battery with 33W fast charging, and connectivity options like 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Dual-Band GPS, and NFC. Pros include its robust, relatively slim design for a rugged phone, strong performance for gaming and multitasking, and the useful secondary display for quick notifications. Cons are a merely average main screen with limited color settings and no 3.5mm headphone jack or optical image stabilization, which can affect camera performance in low light.
