Cubot KingKong X

The Cubot KingKong X features a rugged, non-folding build with an IP68 waterproof rating, offering full protection against dust and sustained water submersion. It measures 170.9 mm tall, 82.2 mm wide, and 18.7 mm thick, with a total weight of 388 g — dimensions that reflect the reinforced construction typical of this form factor.

The Cubot KingKong X uses a 6.58″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 2408 px and a pixel density of 401 ppi, running at a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth on-screen motion. It also includes a secondary screen, an uncommon feature for this device type. The display does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, lacks an Always-On Display mode, and is not protected by branded damage-resistant glass.

The Cubot KingKong X is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset, manufactured on a 6 nm process with an octa-core CPU clocked at 2 x 2.6 GHz and 6 x 2 GHz, using big.LITTLE architecture with HMP support across 8 threads and a TDP of 5W. It is paired with 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM at 3200 MHz across 4 memory channels and 512 GB of internal storage, with a maximum supported memory amount of 16 GB. Graphics are handled by the Mali G68 MP4 GPU running at 950 MHz with a turbo mode at 900 MHz, 4 execution units, 64 shading units, DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2 support. Benchmark results include an AnTuTu score of 545,000, Geekbench 6 scores of 936 (single-core) and 2257 (multi-core), and a PCMark Work 3.0 performance score of 12,100 with a battery endurance result of 1216 minutes. The SoC also supports 64-bit processing, integrated LTE, integrated graphics, TrustZone security, NX bit, and multithreading, with 2 MB of L3 cache.

The Cubot KingKong X features a triple rear camera system with sensors at 100 MP, 24 MP, and 5 MP, using a CMOS sensor without back-illumination or optical image stabilization. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus for stills, along with continuous autofocus during video recording, while laser autofocus is absent. Video capture reaches 4K at 30fps with slow-motion support, though HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, but manual shutter speed is not included, and shooting modes extend to HDR, burst, and panorama — while 360° panorama and RAW capture are not supported. A single LED flash is fitted at the rear with no dual-tone or RGB configuration, and the 32 MP front camera is a single-lens setup without a front flash or under-display placement.

The Cubot KingKong X runs Android 14 and includes a solid set of privacy tools, among them clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not present. Customization options cover dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and app offloading are not available. On the usability side, it supports split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, Live Text, sharing intents, a child lock, and the ability to play games during downloads. On-device machine learning is included alongside offline voice recognition, voice commands, phone tracking, and multi-user support. Direct OS updates from the vendor, Wi-Fi password sharing, the ability to function as a PC, and Quick Start are all absent.

The Cubot KingKong X is equipped with a 10200 mAh rechargeable battery with a battery level indicator, and it supports 33W wired fast charging with a charger included in the box. The battery is non-removable, and wireless charging is not supported.

The Cubot KingKong X has a notably limited audio feature set — it lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack and does not include stereo speakers. On the wireless audio side, no advanced Bluetooth codecs are supported, with aptX, LDAC, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless all absent.

The Cubot KingKong X supports 5G connectivity along with Wi-Fi 4, 5, and 6, and Bluetooth 5.1, with download speeds up to 2770 Mbits/s and upload speeds up to 1250 Mbits/s. It accommodates two SIM cards, includes an external memory slot, and connects via USB Type-C, while HDMI output is not available. NFC is present, and a fingerprint scanner provides biometric authentication, though 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not supported. The sensor suite includes a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, GPS with Galileo support, while an infrared sensor, barometer, heart rate monitor, and motion or optical tracking are all absent. ANT+, DLNA, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, and a built-in projector are likewise not featured, and no stylus is included.

The Cubot KingKong X includes a video light for capturing footage in low-light conditions, while its display is flat rather than curved and features neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
