Cubot Note 60

The Cubot Note 60 has a sizeable footprint, measuring 177.4 mm tall, 84.3 mm wide, and 9.8 mm thick, with a total volume of approximately 146.56 cm³ and a weight of 254 g. It is not a rugged or foldable device, but it does carry an IP65 rating, which means it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This level of water resistance offers a degree of everyday durability without the reinforced build typically associated with dedicated rugged handsets.

The Cubot Note 60 features a 7.2″ LCD IPS touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1560 px and a pixel density of 239 ppi, delivering a reasonably sharp image across its large panel. The display runs at a 120Hz refresh rate, which contributes to smoother scrolling and more fluid on-screen motion. It does not include branded damage-resistant glass, an Always-On Display mode, or support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no secondary screen present.

The Cubot Note 60 is driven by the Unisoc T615 chipset, built on a 12 nm process and configured as an octa-core processor using big.LITTLE technology, with two cores clocked at 1.8 GHz and six efficiency cores at 1.6 GHz across 8 threads, operating within a 10W TDP envelope. Graphics are handled by the integrated Mali G57 GPU running at 850 MHz with 2 execution units and 64 shading units, supporting OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. The chip also integrates LTE and is 64-bit capable with TrustZone security support. The device ships with 6 GB of LPDDR4 RAM at 1866 MHz and 128 GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, with a maximum supported memory of 12 GB; it scores 437 single-core and 1461 multi-core on Geekbench 6, and 357 single-core and 1350 multi-core on Geekbench 5. An L3 cache of 1 MB rounds out the processor configuration, and multithreading is supported.

The Cubot Note 60 features a triple rear camera system with a 48 MP main sensor accompanied by a 5 MP and a 2 MP lens, all using a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus, as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is absent. The main camera supports manual controls for exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, along with burst mode and in-camera panoramas, but does not offer manual shutter speed, RAW capture, HDR mode, optical zoom, or 360-degree panorama shooting. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps with slow-motion support, while HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. A single LED flash is present on the rear, with no dual-tone or RGB flash option. On the front, a 16 MP single-lens camera handles selfies without a front-facing flash or under-display placement, and the front camera setup does not support 3D photo or video capture.

The Cubot Note 60 runs Android 15, an open-source platform that supports multi-user accounts, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, widgets, sharing intents, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Privacy features are fairly broad, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and app tracking prevention, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not included. The interface supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, an extra dim mode, customizable notifications with notification permission controls, a media picker, full-page screenshots, and Live Text for selecting text from images. Additional capabilities include on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, device tracking, battery health monitoring, child lock, and app offloading. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not available, and neither Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, nor Quick Start are supported.

The Cubot Note 60 is equipped with a 7000 mAh rechargeable battery that includes a battery level indicator for monitoring charge status. The cell is sealed and non-removable, and the device does not support fast charging, wireless charging, or reverse wireless charging.

The Cubot Note 60 includes stereo speakers for audio output but omits a 3.5 mm headphone jack, so wired headphones requiring that connection are not directly supported. There is no built-in radio, and none of the high-quality Bluetooth audio codecs — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are available on this device.

The Cubot Note 60 supports Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and a cellular module with LTE download speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s and upload speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s, though 5G is not available. The device accepts a single SIM card and connects via USB Type-C, while an external memory slot allows for storage expansion. Location is handled through GPS with Galileo support, and an accelerometer is present, but there is no gyroscope, compass, barometer, or any motion or optical tracking capability. Biometric security options are absent, as the device lacks a fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, and an iris scanner. Features such as HDMI output, infrared sensor, ANT+ support, heart rate monitor, DLNA certification, crash detection, satellite SOS, a built-in projector, and a stylus are not included.

The Cubot Note 60 includes a video light for illumination during video recording. Its display is flat rather than curved, and the screen uses neither sapphire glass nor e-paper technology.
