Cubot are woking with reseller Coolicool to offer the Cubot X16 at a cut down price of only $76.99 being held on the 21st October.
Anyone who is interested in buying the Cubo X16 can do so now at the regular retail price of $144.99, but if you can hold on until the 21st of the month the slim handset will be offered at just $76.99 for a limited time.
The flash sale will be held with conjunction of online reseller Coolicool, and will likely be a one time deal only valid until stocks run out, which shouldn’t take all that long at this low price.
While we haven’t tried the Cubot X16, it does tick all the right boxes on paper. The phone features a 6.2mm body with metal frame, 5-inch 2.5D 1920 x 1080 FHD display from JDI, Mediatek MT6735 chipset, LTE, 2GB RAM and Android 5.1 Lollipop. At $144.99 the price is good, but at only $76.99 it is a steal!
Any GizChina readers planning on bagging this bargain later in the week? For anyone wanting too head over to Coolicool to make the most of this offer.
Yes but it is clocked really low and there’s the P version that goes down to 1 GHz … I’m just a bit worried that it will be sluggish.
It shouldn’t be, unless Cubot have done a really bad job at optimizing the software. I’ve got a MTK6735 powered Meizu M2 which I’ve had for nearly two weeks, and it is always very fast, with never any lag. I have not used it for any high end gaming, but, in day to day use it runs flawlessly.
Meizu M2 (Mini) works great (bought it for my daughter), but it’s not a fHD screen – huge difference.
Yes, GUI is also something I’m worried about, this SOC isn’t made for FHD.
It depends what you use your phone for. if you play games at all (anything above the simple candy crush style games) or you edit a lot of photos/videos it is probably not the chip for you. If you just use your phone for the basics (photos, light gaming, music, youtube/netflix, facebook etc) it is more than powerful enough.
Well games can suck ( and will because of the FHD display ) on this one, I’m just not sure about a 1GHz SOC… and A53s aren’t really that great either … I do wonder how they’d stack up against my old LG Optimus G ( E975 ) which has 1.5 GHz cores.
Flash sale could basically mean only 5 units or 10 units based on other flash sales coolicool have at the moment. Chances you are going to buy this phone is very slim
