    Verdict

    The Cubot P80 is an ultra-budget 4G smartphone running pure Android 13, featuring a 6.58-inch FHD+ (1080x2408) IPS display with a 60 Hz refresh rate, powered by a MediaTek MT8788 octa-core processor, and includes a 5200mAh battery. The main camera system features a 48MP main lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 0.3MP photosensitive lens, while the front has a 24MP camera. Key pros for this price point are its ample 8GB of physical RAM (expandable with 8GB virtual RAM) and generous 256GB of internal storage (expandable up to 1TB via microSD card), NFC support for contactless payments, and solid build quality. Potential cons include the absence of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, an aging chipset that can struggle with resource-intensive games, and camera performance that is only decent in good daylight conditions, while photos in low light can be blurry and grainy.
