CUBOT Rugged Mobile Phone, Kingkong Mini 3 SIM Free Mobile Phone, 6GB+128GB, 3000mAh Battery, Android 12, IP65 Waterproof, Dual Nano SIM, NFC, Face ID, BT 5.0

I've had this 3rd generation smart phone for several months as a replacement for the 1st generation phone. It is in my opinion an excellent phone and suits my needs. Typing on the keyboard is something to get used to. People with thick fingers might struggle. I dislike having to carry tablet sized phones. Due to its size, its obviously not a direct comparison to the larger smart phones which have more space for tech, but if you want something that is small(er), has it's own built in case, then it might be for you. The pack comes with its own protective screen cover (I ordered one at the same time). Only disadvantage is the back of the phone is very smooth and would slide off surfaces, so I put a couple of non-slip stickers on the back which solves the problem.

Good size phone to fit in jeans or trouser pockets, key board small if you do a lot of texting but better than carrying a tile or brick around with you

this phone is what I wanted as I do a lot of outdoor walking and activities. for the first 2 months it was great. Then it started to have issues with the software, potentially a hardware issue. There is no support from manufacturer. After trying to contact though amazon and directly I only got one message saying not our phone, it is your network providers. No further answers from them. It is not the network provider as I can put the SIM car in any other phone with no issues. UPDATE 18/09/2023 - There seems to have been a change in management in the uk distributor. The new folk picked up my complaint and gave a full refund.

I bought this phone due to the 'rugged' style in which it is advertised, it was accidentally knocked off the garden table and this is the result. I had a case and screen protector on aswell...£189.99 down the drain

Good screen size as a compact phone, but much thicker and somewhat heavier than you might imagine. Although specs good, camera only ok and downloading files on wifi much slower that my older Moto G7 plus. Hopefully ok in a rain shower but not sure would be able to take much punishment, unlike a CAT phone. Tried the King Kong Mini 2 and this was perhaps bit too small, but much thinner and lighter. Look around or wait on Amazon to get a competitive price: should be able to get for about £120-130 in a few months or even sooner.

One of the biggest advantages of this phone is its speed. It runs on the new Android 12 and has 6GB RAM and 128GB!!!!! internal storage, meaning it runs fast and has enough space for all my apps and data. I've used it to watch movies and play games and I've had no issues with lags. Another advantage of this phone is its design. It has a 4.5-inch display, which means it is easy to hold and carry. I carried it in my bag all day and had no problems transporting it!!

This mini smartphone strikes the perfect balance between size, durability and functionality. As someone that is very active, I much prefer phone screens that I can trust not to shatter during accidents. It is also waterproof which is great for using it in the rain as I often find myself doing thanks to Scottish weather, and the grippy exterior helps keep it securely in my hands. The camera does it’s job and seems durable which is my biggest value, and the battery is also better than most. The cost for a phone this well engineered is very reasonable and I believe that it will cope with the rigours of all my activities.
