You can believe Apple and agree that smartphones with small screens are simply not interesting to buyers. This is evidenced by the failed sales of the iPhone mini worldwide. But what if the problem lies elsewhere? For example, the consumer wants to buy an Android device at an affordable price. And there are no offers. And here comes the Cubot Pocket with a 4-inch display, running Android, and with very impressive specs. Plus, in a luxurious design that vaguely resembles the forgotten Vertu brand.

It cannot be said that the mini-smartphone has high performance. It is built on an ancient chip (from 2018) MediaTek Helio A22. In terms of power, it’s roughly comparable to Snapdragon 450. On the other hand, on a 4-inch screen, there’s not much to play. But social networks, email, and multimedia will work exceptionally well.
The MediaTek Helio A22 chipset was chosen not by chance. It supports NFC technology and is adapted to high-quality IPS OGS LCD screens. For those unaware, this is a technologically advanced IPS standard that provides a clearer picture on small displays and from any angle.
And the main advantage is the design. The Cubot Pocket smartphone looks very luxurious. Despite its compact size, the device resembles a Bentley keychain. It also looks expensive and desirable. Plus, it fits into any pocket. And in case of accidental drops, it will maintain its integrity thanks to the protective body.
