Design & Display

Beauty is a strong characteristic of the Cubot R11. The curvy edges of the full phone and the curvy edges of the display are attractive to one’s eyes. The top bezel has minimal bezel that contains not only the front camera but also the earpiece and ambient light sensor. Although the bottom bezel has some occupants, the sides are bezel-less. The volume keys and power button sit comfortably at the right side of the device. At the rear, the smartphone’s dual camera are arranged vertically with a LED flash separating the two cameras while a fingerprint sensor lies beside the camera setup. Taking up the bottom portion of the rear is the CUBOT logo. The dimensions are 150.33 mm length, 71.4 mm breadth and 8.85 mm thickness. With plastic body material, the smartphone dons Black, Grey and Blue colour options.
