CUBOT is set to release CUBOT J3, with the biggest highlight being the pre-installed
Android Go OS, which is Google’s Android version especially designed for
entry-level phones.
Android Go is a simplified version of Android Oreo
that runs smoothly on low-end Android devices. It is mainly composed of three
parts: lightweight Android, Google Go subordinated apps, and the customized
Google Play Store specifically for the low-end devices, made to run on phones with
1GB or even 512MB of RAM.
The CUBOT J3 appears to be a good looker, with a
round and thin body which seems to be made out of aluminum, but since we have
no confirmation and the device will be quite affordable, it probably isn’t
metal. In the back of the phone we find an 8MP rear shooter with an LED flash
below it, which is obviously inspired by Apple’s iPhone X. Meanwhile on the
front we’ll instead have a 5MP selfie snapper.
The new device is equipped with a 5-inch display
with an aspect ratio of 18:9. This makes it the world’s first 5-inch 18:9
screen. The 18:9 aspect
ratio along with the small screen size should make it one of the easier devices
to handle as well.
The CUBOT J3
comes with an MT6580 quad-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz, 1GB of RAM and 16GB
of internal storage (expandable to 128GB via microSD). The
smartphone runs the very lightweight and specifically designed Android Go OS. The smartphone packs a 2000mAh capacity battery and supports dual SIM
dual standby.
The CUBOT J3 will be available in black, blue and
grey, from late May with a pricing that is expected to be very attractive.
