MediaTek’s MT6735-series of chipsets aren’t just cost-efficient, but also very power-efficient. Taking advantage of that, a lot of makers build phones around the SoC with large batteries to have a pronounced effect.
Cubot’s H2 is one such phone. The device has a 5.5-inch 1280 x 720p display, a MediaTek MT6735A 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 3GB of RAM and 16GB of on-board ROM.
Full spec list of the Cubot H2 includes besides the above mentioned a 13 mega-pixel camera on the rear (software interpolated to 16 mega-pixel), 5 mega-pixel camera on the front (software interpolated to 8 mega-pixel) and most importantly, a 5000mAh battery. All in a 9.1mm thick chassis (with overall dimensions of 149.9 x 76.5 x 9.1mm.
Network support on this dual SIM phone includes bands 850/900/1800/1900 on GSM, 900/2100 on WCDMA and B1/B3/B7/B20 on FDD-LTE.
The Cubot H2 runs Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box and is expected to go on sale in the coming weeks. Does it stand a chance against other big battery phones that have shown up in the recent past?
Gizchina News of the week
Cubot H2 Photos
F*#%@ just bought the h1(has a 5200mah) for a friend too.. i can personally tell you the h1’s battery can give 8-9hrs SOT i dont expect anyless from the h2, the camera is not good though, the leagoo elite 5 is still the best camera in the 150$ and below price range
but now the redmi note 2 retails for less than $150 … so i guess that beats the Elite 5 , right ?
redmi note 2 is better in everything over the elite 5, the elite 5 is poorly built with dying screens and lots of hardware issues terrible phone imo, only has the camera going for it which is stunning still bad phone overall to me
i see
If i may add, now gionee e7 is in tge 150$ price range now, and I think it’s better than everything else in camera department!
However i checked some reviews about the leagoo elite 5: not a single one of them speaks that good about the camera, but samples look very good to me! If it had a better audio, I’d have thought about the chance to get one!
i shall check out the gionee e 7 IMMEDIATELY!!!
It’s a nice overall phone, if you can get past the “no sw upgrade whatsoever” ?
i did check on its its camera is really nice
Do you know of Leagoo Shark 1?
Yes, it seems not that good after all (saw a review a couple of days back)
where?
Italian gizchina!
Okay thank you for the information! I was opting to buy one. I thought it was good.
good god, gold phones look like crap
I actually like them lol. Mostly because I am so sick of Silver and White. I want to see more color variety like the Blue and Pink that Sony is using (too bad their phones are terrible and expensive). I wish more phones would adopt a Moto Maker style where you can order it any color you want.
look at the latest mi5 it has a pale gold look, is it ugly to you?
poor choice of hardware :/
Excellent choice of hardware for what they are trying to go for here. This is a phone that is designed around one thing: battery life. A 720p + 6735A + 5000mAh means theoretically you should be able to get a few days of battery life out of this.
yeah … but i guess not enough for power users ?
Power users shouldn’t be looking at $150 phones to begin with.
but i dont have $200 to blow on phones 🙁
You’re the exception!
😀
Ulefone Power is a better choice if you want a battery monster phone, but still with a capable cpu.
I think the HW is okay considering price and that the main feature is the battery. The problem I have is that I’d like to have dual SIM and TF card at the same time. But I guess that wouldn’t work on the H2
you sure about this i know th h1 has 2 sims and tf card at the same time, is this h2 unibody? or does it say somewhere its a hybrid

3Gigs of RAM on a entry level chip and a price tag higher than Redmi 3 Prime?
Don`t know why anyone would bother to be honest, but we have to have diversity, and at least Cubot`s recent modesl have very good built quality and above average cameras.
I love Xixomi but they are not for everyone and someone who wants a big battery phone and doesn’t care much about the SoC (most consumers are clueless about SoC’s) they could do worse than this.
but i care about SoC and RN3 pro is the best offering atm for the range !
dude…you’re not a regular user. 😉
of?
Speaking generally, you know things about the phones that the regular users didn’t ever heard.
not gonna lie its not better over rn3 pro for the price, the only reason to get this if you dont like miui or want a removbale big battery, cubot ram managment is usually good too the h1 comes with 75% ram free so id bet the h2 would have 2.5 gb ram free or more.. which can be viewed as good or bad by some

Hey fellow gizchiners, I’m selling a phone with 8gb of ddr9 ram with 256gb of storage, a 23 mpx cam with ois and laser auto focus, and of course what better to go with it then a snapdragon 820 and a 11k samsung 6 inch screen, all for the mere price of 150 dollars, only downside is that there is no software and payment only by moneygram or parcel payment. Such a good deal that mostly likely all of my specs are real! Get one buy one free toooooooo!!!!!!
Give it to me! Now!! :)) 😀

The CUBOT H2 carries Android 5.1, it is a rather old OS. The Current news showed that Android N will be released in July or August, also interesting news. I found an great Android OS comparison video between Android N, M and L, you can watch it on youtube.
