Comparison of Cubot X18 and cubot note plus
The phones are almost equal in specs, but the Note Plus is higher. Since the quality of the front camera has been improved to 13MP, a FullHD display resolution has been added. Although the bezel-less smartphone costs $ 20 more. What caused such a difference in price is still unclear. Users also noticed that a Trojan virus was found in the latest Cubot phones, which at times opened unwanted pages in the browser, thereby loading the system.
The phone itself is not bad, it is not necessary that there will be a virus in the new models, since the company will not allow another scandal. The smartphone is convenient to use, has a good price: for Russian consumers it will seem attractive in many aspects, and also has good functionality.
