Cubot V1 – smartband with a display


Seems like Cubot is really branching out with the scope of their production and now ventures even into the smart wearable land. The first step into it is pioneered by the Cubot V1 smartband, which will offer a display for showing the time and the values gathered from the pedometer, calory counter and other sensors, just like the Xiaomi MiBand 2.

Cubot V1 will have the same Bluetooth chip (Dialon DA14580) like the MiBand, so the full compatibility and strong connection is a given. Battery life should also be pretty long with the usage of the 80 mAh polymer battery and complex energy optimalizations and tweaks like the display turning fully on only upon touching. The company claims about 30 days of a possible standby time.

The new Cubot smartband is also equipped with the MMA8652 accelerometer for precise movement tracking. The band is made in cooperation with the german company Bayer and should be hypo-allergenic, permeable and knowing the Bayer ecology standpoint it’s also surely made properly with that in mind. Metal clasp will guarantee firm securing around the wrist so the smartband can sustain even some extreme sport activity. Cubot V1 will also be waterproof and dustproof and the charging is done through universal micro-USB port.

You can check how Cubot V1 looks and how it functions either in the following video or also here.

    is the girl bundled in as well?

    • June 3, 2016

      She’s not even wearing the flipping band XD

        Considering they barely even show the product in that advert I think we can let that slip. This is clearly just for showing off the model they got for filming not the product.

      I was about the ask the same question. You can probably get a test run with her before buying the band. 😛

    That phone (cubot s9) is so sexy it can compete in a beauty contest with the girl in the video.

      although i super doubdt the side bezels will be that thin apart from that the color is gorgeous and that front fingerprint design makes it stand out like a motherfu..

        June 3, 2016

        Yeah that’s for sure.
        They’ll remove the bezels (almost) and instead we’ll get the black borders like letv 2 and others, but atleast the front is black.
        And about the colour variety and the fingerprint design, I love ’em.

    I just hope they don’t mess it up or over-price it.

    What phone is that in the background?

    • Adam Irvine
      June 3, 2016

      I was about to ask the exact same thing! The top and chin look really small and front facing round fingerprint and the device itself looks really thin…

      I think I want one haha

        It looks good, especially with the blue.

          Given the shape of a home button its the Cubot S9 rumored with SD820.

          • Scott
            June 4, 2016

            SD 823*
            And it’s not a rumour, cubot themselves announced it officially, you can check their website http://www.cubot.net/smartphones/s9/
            I’m definitely gonna buy it if they price it well, already SD 820 is selling kinda cheap (Zuk Z2)

              I’ll believe it when I see it.

            was thinking the same thing. best design yet!!! want one

          • balcobomber25
            June 4, 2016

            It is rumored with SD823. I am gonna say it’s more fantasy than reality given Cubot’s history.

            • justyfier
              June 5, 2016

              as long as the design is real, im happy

            • balcobomber25
              June 5, 2016

              Fair enough

          – Body Size: 139mm * 70mm * 6.5 mm. finnaly a company is starting to make shorter phones.!!!

          • balcobomber25
            June 4, 2016

            They claim the S9 has a 5.4 inch display and 139mm comes out to 5.47 inches. I will be very surprised if this phone is actually 139mm. That would mean the first truly bezeless display. Also Cubot has never used a SD processor before. I am going to take this all with a huge grain of salt.

            • Assefa Hanson
              June 4, 2016

              nah man they have used SD before

              Current products listed on their website:

              Dinosaur – MT6735A
              Cheetah – MT6753
              Rainbow – MT6580A
              Note S – MT6580
              X17S – MT6735A
              H2 – MT6735A
              S500 – MT6735A

              X17 – MT6735A
              X16 – MT6735A
              X15 – MT6735A
              X12 – MT6735M
              H1 – MT6735P
              P11 – MT6580
              X11 – 6592
              X10 – 6592
              S350 – 6582M
              X9 – 6592M
              S308 – 6582

              Every single phone they have ever made has been with a Mediatek processor. And usually it has been a budget processor. I find it highly suspicious that they will actually be using the future flagship from Qualcomm. More than likely the S9 will have a Helio P10.

              cubot zorro 001, even elephone has used SD before, not saying you shouldnt be suspicious im just saying the have used SD before

            • balcobomber25
              June 5, 2016

              1 phone out of about 30 and it was a budget SD401. Yea that does nothing to quell my suspicions.

              maybe Cubot and Qualcomm began to cooperate,, maybe Cubot got the venture capital,,

            • balcobomber25
              June 6, 2016

              It is possible but I highly doubt it.

            • June 5, 2016

              Yeah, one very big grain of salt : )

              It’s a shame that some Chinese manufacturers often resort to making fake renders of phones with tiny bezels, etc. It makes us questions everything…

              I hope the S9 doesn’t disappoint.

              I’m also expecting cubot s9 ,exciting !!!

            • balcobomber25
              June 7, 2016

              I would hold back your excitement until it is officially released and in the hands of people outside the company. I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of disappointment with this device.

    And there’s not a word in this text about heartbeat sensor (except it is one of “other” sensors), and that is one of most important parts of this kind of devices!?

    • June 4, 2016

      Maybe that’s because there is no word by Cubot about a heartbeat sensor.

      • bojan radovanovic
        June 4, 2016

        that’s what i ment, they don’t have one of most inportant future for fitness device-

    • June 6, 2016

      yes. dont have the all important heart rate sensor.

    Xiaomi band 2 is 149RMB, i think Cubot V1 band will be under 100RMB, Hope Karel write a post to contrast them

    • balcobomber25
      June 4, 2016

      He won’t, he only writes press releases for new products. He has no opinions whatsoever other than those the companies give him. He wouldn’t know what to do writing an objective piece.

    Is that Cubit S9?

  9. Assefa Hanson

    my advice for these bands/wearables make a compartment of some sort to keep earphones in

  10. Joel Adames
    June 5, 2016

    I have to say: NONSENSE
    I don’t like wearables nor smart stuff unless called Phones or people. All the other thinking I can do myself. To me it’s more of a shore to dig all those devices in order to get some meager info that I more or less already know or suspect.
    VR in the other hand is something that covers my perception of the environment so is something really interesting… but not to die for.

    AXON 7 if it had a 3500mha battery requesting 0.20mm extra thickness would mean a total and ABSOLUTE flagship killer to ALL other brands….
    Of course they should offer 4 more colors in the liquid metal fashion like: dark green dark blue dark red and black. That’s not to say that it already is an excellent device and that if it had an IPhone or Galaxy branding they could easily ask for $1K. Even more the full featured one.

    It’s the first wearable device for Cubot . expecting to have one .
