Giving my back-up phone to my brother, who damaged his, was a perfect excuse to buy a new backup phone and see how the Chinese phablets are progressing. And they're doing very well indeed. So much so that my Moto-G is now the backup phone.
Here's the link to the ebay listing I bought it from:-

The Chinese LOVE their big screen Android phones, so it follows that they are available with a wide range of screen sizes and capabilities at a price that makes the big-name brands look grossly overpriced.
Since the horrible incident involving my first Android phone (on a 2 year contract) and my washing machine, I've always preferred to buy a phone outright and just get a SIM contract from my phone service provider. It works out cheaper in the long run and you don't get tied into low-value contracts. The price of Android phones has fallen to a very affordable level, while the specification keeps getting better and better.
For the typical engineer a phone like the one featured is a very good choice, but the size will literally depend on the size of your pocket. And I don't mean financially, I actually mean physical size.
While choosing a phone I made cardboard cut-outs of the sizes and tried them in the cargo pocket of my work pants. The 7" screen was never going to fit and a 6" one would have been close. But in the end 5.5" was an optimum size.
All Android phones tend to have their own unique features. For this one it's the HUGE battery, a fast charging system to support it and the intriguing infra red emitter on the end that works with an app called zazaremote to give you remote control of a wide range of equipment.
Add the very slick 4 core processor and common Mediatek controller with a twist of 4G and a very clear, bright screen and you have a very useful tool indeed.
These phones are really like the Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy. A pocket terminal with access to all the data you need.

Clive is also an Adam the Woo subscriber based on the thumbnail! Pretty cool.
I've got the cubot x19.
I own a Samsung S8. I absolutely love it but one annoying thing about it is the both the charging port and the headphones port are both located at the bottom end of the phone (below the home button). Why Samsung…whyyy????? I'm lucky I have headphones with an elbow plug ….. but what about the charger? Is there such a thing as an elbow adapter for headphones and chargers ??
"It's only 1/2" bigger but it makes a huge difference"…
That's what she said😜🤣😂
Free shoutout for Ashens in the thumbnail lol
not sure if your monitoring these older videos but CUBOT have bought out the CUBOT Power (2018) now by the time you read this i should have it tomorrow (i had to move to a HTC m9 phone as the H1 was to slow) this might replace the pixel 1 XL i have currently (want bigger screen and larger battery i know i lose monthly updates but been able to use the phone for days or flat out for 9-10 hours is far easier)
If your Moto G (any Android past Android 4.4 tbh) locks up or freezes you can press and hold the power button for 6-10 seconds it will force restart
I always keep a second phone ive got all these devices that connect to a phone and rather than cluttering up my phone wit those apps i have a phone as a spare but i also use it for all that crap lol
Do you still have and use this handset? Had any issues? I have had one for two years now and only notice some screen burn.
BUT I CAN SEE MY QUAD HD screens PIXELS
The reason why these Chinese phones are cheap: Mediatek and Qualcomm not just make the low-end/midrange SoCs on dirt-cheap 28nm process that goes into these phones, they also design and sell the entire PCB boards (Which is also why these generic phones looks so similar to each other because they share the same PCB design after all) Then, all the phone manufacturers have to do is to slap the RAM and NAND they want onto the boards plus the chassis, LCD and battery where the stuff are more-or-less standardized.
It's amazing what these phones can do for their price really…Even a $100 one now is waaaaaay better specced in CPU, RAM and NAND than a high-end consumer router.
You watch Adam The Woo also?
Is it a USB 3.0?
I used the ZTE Fury for years, then about 2 years ago I got a Sharp Aquos Crystal, about 6 months later of owning it broke and I'm back to the ZTE Fury which still works even though I bought it in 2013 I believe..
swipe up for on screen buttons
my Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 got a whooping 4876 on the benchmarking app you tested on, although it has a 2.3GHz quad-core CPU and 1.5GB of DDR4 memory, witch shows how the tech has improved over the 10 ish months
