Its fast and not annoying, its tough and looks cool, well good for the money
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

If you want a phone that can do apps without being clunky and slow, but you don't want to spend a lot of money and want a phone that is tough and won't fall apart on you. This is the phone is the bee knees well happy with it, battery can last about day and a half using it all the time

Check underneath the screen protective film for any cracks
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Unfortunately I have had to send the phone back as there was a crack on the top right corner of the phone. The phone was sealed so it was a manufacturing error. Otherwise it was looking okay, just the menu display seems very simple.

A good phone for the money
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Good value for the money. Reasonably light after my last waterproof phone which was like a brick. Not sure how long the rubber hinged gasket on the charging point will last. Doesn't look like it is replaceable and seems very thin at the hinge point. Other than that, an easy to use phone which does what I want without spending a fortune.

Great to start, issues after a few months
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Front camera unable to focus after 4 months, random restarts, delayed messages and email delivery and battery takes a full day to charge after 8 monthsI really liked this phone when I first got it. It does everything I needed and being shock and waterproof its good for a clumsy person. I dropped it on concrete and into water on many occasions and it was fine.Unfortunately, the camera wouldn't focus after 4 months which was a hardware issue.Cubot customer service was good but they needed me to send the phone to China for a repair!!The delayed messages are not great at all and random restarts and shut downs when there is battery life are also very frustrating.Phone is now on the useless phone pile.

Rugged phone value for money
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Like the price. Quick processor. Android 9 kept up to date. Large memory.Dislikes - brightness too high on booting. Automatic levels also high so had to go manual.Not many sounds so installed my own.

iPhone with Android applications.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Having recently broken my Experia I need an inexpensive phone to see out the rest of year till my upgrade. Having searched the internet I came across this. A first I was a bit hesatent as I have never heard of this brand. After a little research I bit the bullet and ordered it.It arrived next day earlier than expected. Straight out of the box it was ready to. After the usual logging back into email and Google photos everything from my previous phone was on. Very easy to use it is like an iPhone but with all the benefits of Android. The internet is a quick as a higher prices handset. No lagging. The phone feels very robust but not to bulky. The camera is good.It doesn't come with a music player but a quick search on play store sorted that.My only criticism is the Bluetooth dose not allow you to play songs through car audio. Handsfree works great.There is a cheaper version available but it is only 3g. I may consider keeping this rather than upgrading or even purchase the cubot x29 pro.

Glitchy spazo screen
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Processor is slow n glitchy when you have a game with multiple things going on or a hd movie it's either that or the screen can't cope, For eg it can't cope with my live CCTV pictures it has a screen blocky spaz. Also seems to have trouble ringing out on the mobile network always seems to be down a few signal bars to previous phones on same network and areas, haven't checked it's toughness yet that remains to be seen tbh with a glass screen, also the speaker is on the back so it's quiet until you flip it over then you can't see the screen? Fingerprint thing works 1/10 it's quicker putting in the pin? The battery life seems ok although you can't do much on it so the battery will last, It's a cheap phone though kinda ok for work you get what you pay for and you ain't paid much!

Mircophone not working and clicking
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I very excited to get a new phone - transfer everything over from old phone and look to working better then my old phone and could use the apps particularly for work. The only big problem the microphone did not work - I could not hear person when some rang me and they could not hear me when I rang them plus there was clicking when recording videos and you here it getting louder and louder and this did happen on my old phone. So over all the phone has a poor performance which is shame as the views are brilliant and star rating 4 1/2 out 5 which why I brought it!

Good for the price and reasonably rugged.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

I bought the Cubot Quest to replace a defective Ulefone Armor X5. £30 more in price but worth it for decent camera optics, a fingerprint sensor, 64GB of built-in RAM instead of 32 and no bloatware. The Quest looks a bit less Star Trek than the X5, which has a more fancy design with contrast side panels and decorative-looking buttons. In contrast the all-black Quest is a lot like other black monolith smartphones, only it's dressed up in a rigid, rugged-looking case with a nice shiny CUBOT logo on the back. Oh yes, and it has a slimmer chassis than the X5 so it fits easier in car phone holders. The Quest drops and bounces pretty well but if you use a glass screen protector it can get chipped on the edges. There's a raised bezel but the protector surface is a bit proud of it.What does the Armor X5 have that the Quest doesn't? Not much really. The dust plugs on the X5 have a little pull-out retaining strap so you can twist them out of the way. The USB plug on the Quest is just a flap and I can see it breaking off at some point, but thats a minor niggle. One thing that I do miss from the X5 is the ability to fully customise the "easy access" button. The Quest has such a button but you can't use it to activate the flashlight or many other features like you can on the X5. It's not a huge issue, just a bit frustrating. I can use it to turn the camera on but then the screen stays off until I unlock it. Hmmm...How does it perform? Like a £150 Chinese smartphone running Android Pie. Apps open reasonably quickly, screen resolution and touch response are okay, selfie cam and back cameras are good and so is battery life. The phone doesn't get too warm whilst charging or running power-hungry apps and sound quality from the microphone, earphone and rear speaker is good.After just over a month of ownership all is well. The fingerprint sensor should be cleaned regularly for it to read reliably. I'm getting used to the camera and native app and it takes a good image. Not super sharp but good for a £150 phone.Don't expect a Galaxy o

Excellent phone
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Plenty of memory and storage. Fast processor. Slim. Durable. Long battery life.Supports multiple Sims (or one sim and one SD card). Why pay megabucks for Apple or Samsung?Phone comes with a plastic screen protector pre-fitted. I left this on for about 4 months, but it's got lightly scratched so I removed it and fitted a toughened glass protector. Clarity is much improved and I thoroughly recommend doing this (while the Gorilla Glass screen is probably tougher than the protector, I feel that the extra layer of protection is worth while).

Difficult to access apps and settings
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Disappointed in this phone, very poor documentation, two lines per instruction with no clear advice. Could not add the widgets to home screen that I wanted to, so to access my apps I had to keep going through Google Play to access them, could not find settings tab.. unable to access files on phone on my pc, spent 30 mins with support and still could not get "in" so returned and purchased another Samsung. Phone itself is good, strong and nice camera if you get to access the photos! Fingerprint reader kept locking my phone for a period of time as my print was "unrecognized" Just too fiddly for me.

Charging Problems
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

This phone was purchased to replace a Cubit Max which was ruined due to water ingress. This rugged model seemed an obvious replacement but from the start I was mildly alarmed by the high temperature of both the phone and charger produced during the charging process.Subsequently charging has become an issue. After about six months charging became difficult, firstly what looked like an intermittent connection. After purchasing a new charger lead (USB C) things improved but still an intermittent connection became more of an issue. As I write this review charging has become a real problem. The phone is very very slow to charge and this is only possible with the phone Dr powered.A replacement phone seems to be inevitable, this is not just unsatisfactory but extremely frustrating as without a phone! Long story :-(

For the price this is very good phone with functions you would expect in a smartphone in this day and age. It can be little tricky to relearn to operate and discover everything again if you are moving from different brand. Give it few days to familiarise with the menu.You can create folders by placing an icon on top of an icon.Battery can last days so there is no need to worry unless you play games all day long. If you are using SD card you will need to format it before it will be accepted by the phone.Graphics is basic so it will not run 3D games on high settings.Screen isn't as good as it is on more expensive smartphones but it's definitely good enough if you are not a pixel peeper.I use pocket Bluetooth receiver to plug my wired headphones in. This phone does not have 3.5mm jack.

No Bad for the price
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

The fingerprint opening some times does not work if you have dirty/oily hands. The phone does sometimes freeze so I just restart the phone once a week, this seems to help. The phone does heat up if you are using for a long period of time, it does seem to be rugged enough for me and I work in the building industry and an outdoor active person. I haven't dropped it yet so don't know how rugged it is, the phone has a good feel, the rubber back and sides make it non slip even from my clumsy grip in cold, wet muddy conditions.

Great when it works
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Loved the phone when I first got it but started experiencing random restarts and notifications not coming through and then coming through in bulk. Also had problems with the screen going blank during phone calls with no way to follow menus or hang up. The sellers refunded the phone so I could buy a replacement but after a couple of months the same happened. Real shame because when it works it's a great phone and the first issue I've ever had with cubot phones

I'm happy.
Reviewed on Amazon.co.uk

Tried face recognition and it works but like the finger print scan better. Links with my wireless headphone and my car system no issues. Value seems brilliant. Operating all Google home equipment through Google assistant no problems. All the apps I need including bank and work related productivity stuff has been no hassle to setup. Don't really play music on my phone so can't comment - sound ok when watching YouTube. Have thrown in the bath - no issues. Have dropped by accident - not a scratch. Camera not great in anything but reasonable light conditions. Have moved to this from IPhone and no regrets so far.
