Cubot has unveiled the KingKong Ace 3, an interesting budget-friendly rugged smartphone with a secondary screen on the back. The device is based on a MediaTek 4G chipset, and it comes with a 5100mAh battery with 33W fast charger. Here is all you should know about the phone.
Cubot KingKong Ace 3 Specs and Features
The Cubot KingKong Ace 3 prioritizes durability with an IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H certification, promising resistance to water, dust, and shocks. The main display is a 6.53-inch IPS screen with a high resolution of 1080×2408 and a decent 90Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals.
But the star of the show is the unique secondary screen on the back. While details about this screen’s technology are unclear, it’s likely an IPS panel and appears to be quite small based on images. Its functionalities include displaying the time, using a compass, answering calls, and even enabling selfies using the main rear camera.
Under the hood, the KingKong Ace 3 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G88 processor, which is a reliable choice for everyday tasks but not a powerhouse. However, it’s backed by a generous 8GB of RAM and a substantial 256GB of storage, expandable further using a microSD card.
The battery capacity comes in at a standard 5100mAh, which should provide decent battery life. Fast charging support is limited to 33W.
On the camera front, the Cubot KingKong Ace 3 sports a triple-camera system on the back, featuring a main sensor of 100MP (likely interpolated) alongside a 5MP macro sensor and a 0.3MP sensor for depth data. The front-facing camera for selfies is a respectable 32MP sensor.
Other notable features include an NFC module for contactless payments, a gyroscope sensor, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for secure unlocking.
