Cubot Max 4G Smartphone 6.0inch HD Screen 3GB RAM 32GB ROM

I enjoy tech gadgets, so over the past year or two I've tried several .......... and now this Cubot Max. It arrived on time, undamaged in good condition. The box it comes in is nice and solid, big enough for all the parts (phone, charger, lead, leaflets, case). Unusually for a smartphone, this phone comes with the removable battery already fitted inside rather than packed separately. That's probably why so many reviews say '"remember to remove the transit tape off the battery contacts!". As most people will be opening the phone and removing the battery to put in an SDcard and Sim, removing the tape off the battery at the same time is no big deal one you know its there. The phone also arrives with a gel case and screen protector fitted - so you don't have to worry about buying those separately and adding £10 to the cost of the phone! My phone was packed up nicely but the box seals were open and there was a lot of smudging (the gel 'glue' stuff ) on the screen protector. It cleaned up easily enough though and there was no apparent damage to the protector. You know how its really difficult to remove some phones backplate,? Well, not on the MAX - I took off the get case ....... and the backplate came with it .... and the case is fairly lose on the phone. Again, not a problem, nothing appeared damaged, just a surprise. Its a good enough quality case - easy to slip on and off. I untaped the battery, inserted a sim and a 64GB SDcard and charged it up. The phone gave a few 'this is a slow SD card' warnings. Unexpected, because its a good quality Sony branded card, but it worked OK, The battery arrived totally discharged, but charged up to 100% in about 3 hours. Remember its a high capacity battery (4000+ mah), so full charging will be a bit slower than you're used to with 2000 rated batteries. The phone connection was showing 4G, and Wifi pickup was good, I ran the setup, added my google account and let the phone update. It had arrived with Android 6 installed, so only a small (20mb) OS update was needed. No android 7 update. Google play updated lots of apps.The android 6 install looks nice and clean - just like my previous Cunot phones - with no bloatware that I could see. Setup my usual mix of Android/GooglePlay apps without any problems - and moved them to the SDcard storage to save space in the phone. Test ran several apps, again no problems. And, after all that updating and installing and playing around, the phone was quite warm to the touch on the upper back ..... and still had 89% battery left. The phone is a nice weight and size .... for a 6" 'phablet'. The screen is good enough. as is touch response and general performance. The audio is OK. The camera is not great, but good enough to use as a basic 720p dashcam. I played a game of Warhammer 40K Regicide (400MB, quite graphically demanding) and the phone played it without problem or lag.

Good phone does everything my old Samsung Galaxy did. Only thing it take four and a half hours to charge. Battery life is quiet good normal last over a day. So a bit of a bargain at £90.

Very good phone at half the price of others

Amazingly good value at this price! Quick, with a very clear and responsive screen- and the battery lasts a full day with normal to heavy use.

Extremely well built phone............absolutely up to date and blows all the whistles and rings the bells.............the phone developed a crack on the screen and the vendor is refunding, no questions asked......I will immediately buy another model...........

Brilliant phone. Why pay 6 X more for the well known makes when the Cubot is almost as good.

Great phone, great price and great service

A great phone for the price, havnt put it down. loving the large screen. Battery power is the only let down. It does have a 4100 Ma battery, but I found even on standby it goes down pretty quickly. Overall though well worth it for the price. Other people who have seen the phone want one now.

Fast and with it's size, great visibility. It's a bit big for some pockets but otherwise the size is a definite advantage. Camera's much better than my previous phone (a Samsung) and the battery life is awesome. Superb value too!

Forget garbage loaded Samsung and the other crazy priced phones. This phone is great. Does everything. Great camera. Superb long lasting battery

very pleased with phone. Easy to use. Camera takes excellent pictures. Ordered about 10pm Wednesday, ready for collection 3pm Thursday. Well pleased. So much so my partner is ordering one. Thanks

I bought this for my husband and he loves it. It is large and therefore the buttons are larger and this makes texting easier if you have larger fingers. Beautiful screen for watching Youutube videos's etc or playing games. The phoned can be connected to any network as soon as you put your own sim card in. It holds two seperated sim cards if you want to used two different numbers and you can also install and SD card if you wish, although the memory is large already. Comes complete with a rubberized back cover which makes it easy to grip and less likely to slip out of your hand and also a stick on screen cover which helps protect the screen from scratches. Would recommend.

Really pleased with the cubot max. Excellent value.

Just a great phone ! And the big screen...wow. would recomend anytime.

I think this phone is brilliant. Only downside I can think of is charging time but got to be expected the size of the battery. Battery is enough to get me through 2 days without charge and a day with heavy usage. This phone is just everything I was looking for. Well worth the price! Very fast phone as well!

After 4 weeks researching various options I traded up from 4 year old Lenovo A880 (6 inch phablet) . What a breath of fresh air. Product came with a simple rubberized case (rear and sides only). Factory screen protector too! UK usb charger and micro usb cable. Boxed beautifully to a premium standard. Android 6 was slick - fast, with a very high resolution screen. The Audio quality was astounding. All for £83.99! The finest bargain I have ever had. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Wow, and I never say that...but wow! Never expected too much at this price. I was wrong. Amazing phone. Better than my iPhone 5s easily.

Love it! Highly recommended!

Cheapest and best phone I've owned, Did get it reduced at £84 but would happily have paid twice that now I know what it's like. Quick, great camera, storage, very slick.only issue I've had is some downloaded games wouldn't work but a reboot sorted this out. I recommend this, you won't be disappointed.

 I purchased my first Cubot branded phone back in September 2014. I was tempted back then to get an iPhone on contract but opted for the Cubot instead mainly because I liked the name and I found it had more or less the same features as the iPhone without the silly price. Fast forward to 2017 and I was looking to upgrade to a phone with 4G and at least one which used Android Marshmallow Operating system. It needed to be unlocked and have duel sim capabilities. I chose this Cubot Max in black, but it also comes in White and Gold. It is bigger than my S208 at 6 inches yet it sits comfortably in my hand. It’s a little heavier too. This awesome phone has an 8 core processor compared to the 4 of my old one and a whopping 3GB of RAM giving this phone a high processing speed. It has 32GB ROM which is expandable to 128GB. The IPS screen is a standard 1280×720 pixels resolution which provides a good sharp display, strong colours and good contrasts. You can also adjust colour temperature, contrasts, and saturation etc. to your liking. The touchscreen can register up to 5 points of contact at the same time and is very responsive. It is perfect for those who love to text. The viewing angles are really good on this phone making it perfect for watching videos in bed :-). Below the large screen display you will find usual 3 soft touch buttons. The volume control and power button are located on the right side of the phone. I found it a little awkward to remove the back of this phone, but I have similar trouble with all phones due to my long finger nails. However I managed to remove it using an old credit card, a tip I got from YouTube. Once removed you have easy access to the 4100mAh battery [you will need to remove the blue tab from the battery before the phone will work.] You will also find the two micro SIM card slots (dual-SIM) and a micro-SD card slot. There are two cameras on this phone. A 5mp on the front, suitable for taking selfies and a 13mp Auto focus 4P lens, ƒ/ 2.0 aperture camera on the back along with an LED flash light. I found that the autofocus works really fast in daylight and captures really sharp images. The phone supports the following 2G, 3G and LTE frequencies: 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz 3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz 4G: FDD-LTE 800/1800/2100/2600MHz This phone supports an amazing 42 different languages including English, Deutsch, Italiano, Polski, Romanian, and Hindi to name but a few Transferring files could not be easier with this phone… using USB cable, Bluetooth or Hotknot something I admit I had not heard of before. The technology allows the capacitive touchscreens of smartphones to interact. A feature that can be used for quick data transfer/sharing. When the two screens are near each other, their physics are used in such a way that allows one of them to act as a transmitter and the other one as a receiver. However in order for this technology to work, the two phones need to come with Hot Knot technology installed and be in close proximity to each other. The Cubot Max supports both GPS and A-GPS making it ideal to use as a navigation system. Sound quality is excellent with earphones [not supplied] and quite good without. I did find the sound to be very loud on this phone compared to the Cubot s208 which is a great improvement. Battery life from the 4100mAh battery, is quite good although it did initially take over 4 hours of charging to get it to 100% That being said, I didn’t have to charge it again for a couple of days :-) This phone has a high processing speed which helps the graphics run super smoothly making it an ideal phone for those who like to play games. Thanks to the big 3G RAM, multitasking is not a problem and you can use several apps at the same time. Supported video formats include MP4, M4V, MKV, VIDX, XVID, ASF, WMV, RM, RMVB Supported Audio format include AAC, MP3, AMR, FLAC, APE. Support e-book format include TXT, PDF, HTML, EPUB, UMD. This phone’s case is made from plastic but that is to be expected due to low price. However as specs go this phone is way up there with some phones costing four or five times as much. Dimensions: Height: 16.5cm Width: 8.5cm Thick: 0.9cm Weight: 203 g Conclusion … I can’t really fault this phone. For the price it is quite amazing and gives you the same features as some phones costing four or five times as much. If it performs as well as my Cubot s208 did for the last three years then I will be one happy bunny! A final note; when I ordered this phone, I also ordered a transparent clear soft TPU case cover for it.
