Cubot aren’t new to experiment with colors, their
Cubot Rainbow 2 does indeed come in five different color variants. The upcoming
Cubot R9 won’t be as variegated but will still be available in three very
appealing colors: Black, Gold and Space Blue.
The Cubot
R9 will be sporting a 5-inch display encased in a full metal body. It’ll be
powered by a MediaTek MT6580 processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal
storage.
Cameras will have 13MP resolution on the back and
5MP for the front, they will both feature LED flashes to brighten up the scene
in low light situations, there’s also beautify software for selfies. The
handset will be running Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box and pack a 2600 mAh
battery.
The Cubot R9 will probably cost around US$ 80, which
would be an interesting price-tag given the phone’s metal build and it
featuring a fingerprint scanner. The budget phone should get officially
launched in July.
