Cubot Hafury V1

The Cubot Hafury V1 has a standard, non-folding form factor measuring 165.8 × 75.8 × 9 mm with a total volume of 113.11 cm³, and it weighs 200 g. It does not feature a rugged build, and there is no water resistance of any kind. Repairability is notably limited, as the device holds a French Repairability Index score of 1 out of 10.

The Cubot Hafury V1 uses an IPS LCD touchscreen measuring 6.58″ with a 1080 × 2408 px resolution at a pixel density of 401 ppi. The display does not feature branded damage-resistant glass, and it lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision content. There is no Always-On Display mode and no secondary screen, keeping the setup straightforward and single-panel.

The Hafury V1 is powered by the MediaTek MT8788 system-on-chip, built on a 12 nm process with eight cores running at 2 GHz each and a TDP of 5W; notably, it does not use big.LITTLE technology. The SoC includes integrated LTE, integrated graphics, and a Mali G72 MP3 GPU clocked at 900 MHz with 48 shading units, supporting DirectX 12 and OpenGL ES 3.2. Memory consists of 8 GB of DDR4 RAM — also the maximum supported — alongside 256 GB of internal storage, and the platform is fully 64-bit capable. In terms of benchmark results, the device scores 255,000 on AnTuTu, 1,306 and 284 on Geekbench 5 multi-core and single-core respectively, and 778 on PassMark.

The Hafury V1 features a dual-lens rear camera system combining a 64 MP primary sensor with a 2 MP secondary lens, both using a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination; there is no optical image stabilization or optical zoom. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is absent. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while burst mode, HDR, and in-camera panorama are also supported; raw shooting and manual shutter speed are not available. A single LED flash is present at the rear, with no dual-tone or RGB flash, and there is no front-facing flash. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps with slow-motion support, but HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not offered. The 32 MP front camera is a single-lens unit, not positioned under the display, and does not support 3D or 360° capture.

The Hafury V1 runs Android 13, a free and open-source platform that supports multi-user profiles, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, widgets, and device tracking. Privacy controls are fairly broad, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy, and camera and microphone access management, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are absent. Customization options include dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, and an extra dim mode, while notification controls and customizable notifications give users granular control over alerts; focus modes are not supported. The OS also includes a media picker, full-page screenshots, Live Text, sharing intents, a child lock, on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, and voice commands, and users can play games while they are still downloading. Wi-Fi password sharing, a battery health check, app offloading, Quick Start, and direct OS vendor updates are not available on this device.

The Hafury V1 is equipped with a 4350 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 18W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. Wireless charging is not available. The device features a battery level indicator, giving users a clear view of remaining charge at a glance.

The Hafury V1 has a notably limited audio feature set. It does not include a 3.5 mm headphone jack or stereo speakers, and on the wireless audio side, none of the high-quality Bluetooth codec standards are supported — there is no aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC.

The Hafury V1 supports dual SIM cards and connects via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 4.2, and NFC, though 5G is not available. Wired connectivity is handled through a USB Type-C port running at USB 2.0 speeds, and there is no HDMI output. An external memory slot allows for storage expansion. On the security side, a fingerprint scanner is present, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not. Location capabilities include GPS with Galileo support and a compass, and the sensor suite also covers a gyroscope and accelerometer; a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and motion or optical tracking are all absent. The device does not include crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, ANT+ support, DLNA certification, a stylus, or a built-in projector.

The Hafury V1 includes a video light, which can be used as a torch during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor e-paper technology.
