Cubot S308, finally a quad-core MT6582 with 2GB RAM


cubot s308

We have seen plenty of perfectly acceptable phones from China which look great but are let down by a lack of RAM. Finally though manufacturers are waking up and producing 2GB RAM phones like the Cubot S308.

The S308’s 5-inch display is a IPS, OGS panel promising vibrant colours while taking up as little space as possible in the 8mm deep body. Costing only $150, the S308 is quite the piece of kit with a quad-core MT6582 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB memory and even a couple of decent cameras (13 mega-pixel rear, 8 mega-pixel front).

Dual-sim with support of 850/2100mhz hands is also part of the leather look package. The only upsetting detail is the use of Android 4.2 rather than Android 4.4 Kitkat which we have normally seen in similar phones. It also remains to be seen how the 2000mAh battery will last too, but as a package we are quite impressed with the Cubot S308.

The Phone is on sale now in either black or white for only $151.93 through Chinese reseller GearBest.

    You got to remind yourself to always mention screen size and res.
    Here you don’t mention the res and in another article today you fully ignored the size and res of the screen.
