Cubot Pocket - the revival of Vertu?
You can believe Apple and agree that smartphones with a small diagonal are simply not interesting to the buyer. This is evidenced by the failed sales of the iPhone mini around the world. But what if the problem is something else. For example, a consumer wants to buy an Android device at a democratic price. And there are no offers. And here comes the Cubot Pocket with a 4-inch display, on Android and with a very fatty filling. Plus, in a chic design, vaguely reminiscent of the forgotten Vertu brand.

This is not to say that the mini-smartphone has high performance. After all, it is built on the basis of an ancient chip (2018) MediaTek Helio A22. In terms of power, this is somewhere Snapdragon 450. On the other hand, you can’t really play at 4 inches. But social networks, mail and multimedia will work exceptionally well.
The MediaTek Helio A22 chip was not chosen by chance. It supports NFC technology and is adapted to high quality IPS OGS LCD screens. For those who don't know, this is a technologically advanced IPS standard that gives a clearer picture at small resolutions and from any angle.
Well, the main advantage is the design. Smartphone Cubot Pocket looks very rich. With its compact size, the gadget looks more like a Bentley car keychain. And it also looks expensive and desirable. Plus, it fits in any pants pocket. And in case of an accidental fall, it will retain its integrity, because there is appropriate protection for the case.
