Review Cubot X16 bought on MyEfox

Packaging, Content, Aesthetics:

The package is a stylish box with gold finish and brand Cubot on the front, on the back there is a label with the model and on the low side of IMEI numbers.

Box contents: Smartphone, 1 Power Adapter with USB socket Italian 5V 1A White, 1 USB cable, a cover transparent hard plastic, an instruction manual and the first protective film screen.

- External dimensions of the smartphone average of cinafonini 5 "; it measures 143.4 x 69.6 x 6.5mm for just over 150g of weight, very thin with its 6.5 mm.

- Construction of high quality, the materials return a good feeling to the touch, the metallic finish of the side frame and the back cover mirror lend elegance and style.

- On the left side we find not only the keys but the removable trolley sim / sd, while on the right side we find the volume rocker on the top and the power button slightly lower.

- At the top we are the only audio jack; at the bottom we find the micro USB plug the microphone nearly invisible in the metal frame.

- In the back on the upper left we are the 13 megapixel camera from Omnivision OV13850 f / 2.2, slightly to the side with dual LED flash and lower, decentralized to the level of the camera, the speaker.

- In the front we find the earpiece at the top, the camera 8Mpixel Omnivision OV5670 f / 2.8 and light sensors / proximity.

- The soft touch buttons are three and NOT are backlit.

- Cover not removable; the presence of a knurled machining, allows to obtain very good grip.

- Outer pane without pre-applied film; has a rounded machining 2.5D but not good oleophobic treatment, then it holds the fingerprints and is quite reflective.

- Display brightness and good viewing angles; Full HD IPS LCD screen (advertised as JDI) with pretty good color, good sharpness for the category White Balance on balance good, but black improvable.

- Touch-sensitive and comes with multitouch 4/5 touches, writing rapidly and with Swype function that you type with two fingers (keyboard used google)

- Two sim slots: 1 slot and 1 Nano Sim Slot Micro Sim 4G (if used both, you can not put the MicroSD).

- Presence slot MicroSD up to 64Gb (putting waste MicroSD slot Microsim)

- Battery is not removable 2500mAh declared, the ammeter test we found about 2400mAh, which can cover the busy day with no problem.

- Android 5.1 without any customization and usually launcher 3

- Open the app and switch between apps quickly .. browser stock enough usable but suggest that Chrome while consuming a lot of ram speeds up navigation.

- Excellent management 16Gb of internal ROM that are available in a partition to 12.1Gb for apps and data.

- Good management 2Gb ram by Android 5.1 .. more than 1.2Gb ram vacated after loading some apps into memory at startup.

Connectivity:

WiFi b / g with no problem hooking stable, good power.

BT 4 tested pairing with headsets, car and other smartphones without problems

OTG: Properly functioning

GPS: good, the outside has fixato cold in 20 seconds, 12 satellites, with an accuracy of a few meters; GLONASS compatibility and Baidu

Camera:

- Main camera Omnivision 1/3 "13Mpixel f / 2.2 that produces good shots in daylight; quite fast focus; mediatek camera interface, enhanced by quick settings overlay Beautification Face, Panorama, Picture in Picture, Photo Live, 3d Photo; the flash of good power with dual LED allows some shots in most light conditions poor. Without using the flash, using iso camera bundled with the app, it stops 450Iso, not allowing to go up. Using third-party apps, such as Camera FV-5 we were able to make good shots even 1600Iso (limited use)

- Good performance with FullHD video file format 3gp

- Secondary camera for Selfie 8Mpixel with face detection function, shots and discrete video

.

Bench:

Antutu 5.7.1 more than 25000 punti..risultato slightly lower than at any other CPU MT6735 1.3Ghz.

Geekbench 3 with 1799 points in multi-core test and 617 in the single-core test.

Geekbench Battery Test (over 7 hours and 33 'screen on time) slightly low for a 2500mAh but sufficient for at least 3 hours of screen on the busy day of work with active data traffic.

Audio:

Good sound quality, good volumes of speaker and earpiece (even slightly too high in this case), the other party has no problem and feel the item is free from noise and interference or metallic effect.

Position the rear speaker that unfortunately suffers from sound attenuation if we usually place the smartphone on the table.

Good vibe and the sound with headphones.
