Cubot Smartphones Get Substantial Price Drop in Nepal

CUBOT is an Android Smartphone manufacturer based in Shenzhen China. They are one of the new manufacturers that entered Nepal in 2018. They mostly make smartphones in the budget category.

They had released 6 new phones when they first came to Nepal. Now, they have reduced the price of all of them. Here is the description of those phones with their prices.

CUBOT J3

As J3 is the least expensive, it is also the most entry-level phone in the list. CUBOT J3 has a 5 inch 18:9 display, 8 MP rear camera and a 5 MP selfie camera.Inside, it features a modest 1 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage with a small 2000 mAh battery. The 16GB internal storage is pretty high for the price though. CUBOT J3 costs Rs. 6900 in the Nepali market. the only 18:9 aspect ratio phones that I have heard of in this price range belong to Colors‘ Pride series. If you don’t like their design, Cubot has got your back for you.

CUBOT R9

The R9 costs Rs. 8900 noe. It also comes with a 5.0-inch display. Inside there is a combination of 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. The rear camera is 13MP and at the front, there’s a 5MP shooter.While the hardware is pretty decent for the price, the software used on this phone, Android Nougat 7.0, lets this phone down. A phone launched this late into 2018 should at least have an Android 8.0 Oreo. Also, it looks slightly old now.

CUBOT R11

CUBOT R11 has a 5.5 inch 18:9 HD+ display with a 1.3GHz MediaTek quad-core chipset inside combined with 2GB RAM. The internal storage is 16GB and the phone comes preloaded with Android 8.1 Oreo.The battery is larger than its previous two siblings at 2800mAh. At the front, there is an 8MP selfie camera and the back has dual 13MP+2MP sensor setup. The phone is available in Gray, Black, Blue Color variants. The R11 will set you back for Rs. 10500.

CUBOT MAGIC

CUBOT MAGIC has a 5.0inch HD display. It is also the cheapest phone from CUBOT to support 4G. Inside, a 1.5GHz MediaTek 6737 quad-core chipset is paired with 3GB of RAM. That is pretty generous for a phone that costs Rs. 14,820. But, the internal storage is a meager 16GB.It’s a shame that the device ships with Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. For 12K, you can do better. The phone is available in Black and Grey variants.

CUBOT NOTE Plus

The 5th and the second most expensive CUBOT phone to make it into Nepal is the NOTE Plus. This phone has a 5.2 inch 16:9 Full HD display at the front. A quad-core 1.5GHz MediaTek MT6737T powers this device in tandem with 3GB RAM. The storage is a bit generous too at Rs. 32GB. For Rs. 14,780, these are all compelling specs. Especially when you consider the front 16MP camera and the rear single 16 MP shooter. But, the software, the old Android Noughat 7.0 lets this phone down.

CUBOT Nova

Finally, the most expensive phone of the bunch is the Nova. CUBOT Nova comes with an 18:9 aspect ratio FullHD+ display. The bezels look very small in the renders. It has a 1.5GHz MediaTek MT6739 working with 3GB RAM. Surprisingly, the storage on the Nova (16GB) is smaller than that on the Note (32GB). Why? I don’t know. At least, we have got Android 8.1 in here. There’s a 13MP single shooter at the back and an 8MP shooter at the front. This phone costs Rs. 13500.

The price cuts are substantial. If you were looking to get a CUBOT phone, now is the correct time. As Cubot hasn’t specified the time frame for this offer, we are not sure if this offer will end.

We aren’t sure it won’t end either. Their tagline is “this summer get Cubot phones are cool prices”. So, maybe this deal will last through the summer. Maybe.
