Design and Display
Following in the footsteps of the ordinary model, the Cubot J3 Pro has a stylish build for an entry level smartphone. There is a complete dub of the camera module at the back of the iPhone X with a fingerprint scanner just to the middle. The smartphone is available in Black, Grey and Blue colour options. The smartphone is also a bit thick considering you don’t have much going on in the smartphone especially in the battery segment.
If you’d wanted the Cubot J3 with a bit bigger screen? Then this is your answer to that. The Cubot J3 Pro feature a slightly bigger visual arena with its 5.5-inch display. However, it is somewhat awkward that it still maintains the same resolution of 480 X 960 pixels as before. This results in a comparatively less crisp display and a lower pixel density.
