CUBOT Note 20 Pro 128 GB / 6 GB

The device of the little-known Chinese brand CUBOT belongs to the low-cost segment, but at the same time, externally and in terms of characteristics, it is more drawn to the top league devices. Take at least the prefix Pro in the name, which is mainly used for top models with advanced features. And the design of the smartphone is not at all associated with cheap handsets from China: small bezels around the screen, a plastic but pleasant to the touch body and a spectacular main camera in the form of a circle.

The equipment of CUBOT Note 20 Pro did not disappoint either — it seems that the manufacturer has added everything necessary for the average user who does not chase big brand names. A 6.5-inch IPS display has a resolution of 1600x720 pixels, an 8-megapixel front camera is located in a neat teardrop-shaped cutout, and the rear camera includes four sensors. The MediaTek Helio P60 processor is a good mid-range platform and handles day-to-day tasks with ease, especially when paired with 6GB of RAM.

It is worth noting that for such a price tag, 6/128 GB is a rarity, but here the storage can also be expanded with a 128 GB memory card. And without sacrificing the second SIM-card. A 4200 mAh battery deserves special attention, one charge of which should be enough for 10 hours of games, 28 hours of listening to music, 18 hours of talking or 10 hours of watching videos. Surprisingly, the battery of the smartphone is removable, and this is now rarely seen. The cover is easily removed, giving access to the battery, which can be replaced with a new one at any time. A few more pleasant things are NFC for contactless payments, a modern USB-C connector and a 3.5 mm audio jack. But for some reason there is no fingerprint scanner, although a face recognition system can be used instead.
