The Cubot H1 does have some trade-offs due to its monstrous battery
capacity. The first is its weight, coming to just under 200 grams with the
battery inside it’s quite a beast. With this in mind, it is well proportioned
and I like the clean design with textured plastic back plate. The second
trade-off is the H1 doesn’t use the most premium materials with the majority of
the phone being made from plastic. There is a reason behind this as using more
metal would add more weight to the phone.

Design and performance
he Cubot H1 Design certainly isn’t
premium but it makes up for this in features. In your hand, it feels very
solid without any strange noises when you apply pressure. The edge of the H1 is
surrounded partly by a metal frame which gives it a slightly more premium
finish than an all plastic model would have but not by much. Saying this, I
still like it, at 9.2mm it’s not going to winning any awards a slimming world,
but that’s a respectable thickness for a phone that’s hiding 5020mAh of juice
inside.
The 5.5-inch screen is bright, vibrant and clear with good viewing
angles from all sides. It also features 2.5D technology meaning that edges of
the screen will recess into the phone, giving a subtle bubble effect similar to
iPhone’s. They’ve only managed to pack a 720×1280 resolution screen in which
gives it a PPI value of 267 which to my pixel snob eyes isn’t quite crisp
enough but on the plus side it helps keep the phone feeling nippy. The screen
will be fine for most day-to-day tasks and as an entry-level smartphone it
works well. It’s just lacking the wow factor that we see with more expensive
AMOLED phones.

RAM
– Multitasking
Inside you’ll find 2GB of RAM which is plenty for a mid-range phone to
handle multitasking and keep the phone running smoothly.
ROM – Storage
The Cubot H1 comes with 16GB of internal storage and has a dedicated
expandable memory card slot above the battery which will take cards up to 64GB.
Battery
I found that whilst using the phone I could get around two days heavy
use from the battery before having to charge it up. This is fantastic and one
of the best features of the Cubot H1. The battery is also removable so you will
easily be able to replace it in a year or so once the charge starts to lose.
Another idea for the Android power user would be to carry around a spare
battery, switching them out to give you a whopping 10400mAh to play with. The
Cubot H1 also features OTG ‘on-the-go’ charging which allows you to charge your
other gadgets by using the H1 as a power source. Inside the box, you’ll find
Cubot’s ‘Quick-Charger’ that they claim will deliver power more evenly and
effective than other chargers.
