On the budget scene, there is a lot of competition from those riding on the trend to those maintaining the arbitrary smartphone look. The Cubot P20 falls in the former category with a nice modern trendy design and modest specs. It is also nice that the smartphone only cost a fraction of the price of the flagshps that carries the features. In reality, the performance of this smartphone can in no way be compared to that of flagships.

Design and Display
Based on how the smartphone looks, it’s hard not to call this an iPhone X clone wuth the notch and camera module at the back. However, that is about all the similarity there is, but it is enough. And besides, the Cubot P20 is much more inferior in the sense that the smartphone is made of plastic and has a glossy finish to give it a glass-like appearance. The disadvantage here is that it attracts dirt and shows any little scratch.
Over to the notched screen which by the way is a rampant ordeal in most smartphone now and have little bezels at the side. Right here, the display is 6.18-inch large and has a notch identical in size to that of the Apple flagship. Even though it lacks the deep blacks in OLED screens, colours are represented well with a resolution of 2246 X 1080 pixels.
Battery and Camera
There’s no need to worry about how much you’re pressing your smartphone at least not for a while with the ample 4, 000mAh battery. Moreso, it has a MiicroUSB, although a USB Type-C would have been grear. For compensation, there is fast charge still available for use.
In the aspect of photography, the Cubot P20 offers just about what most smartphones in the budget scene would give you. At the back, you will find a 20MP and 2MP camera giving you nice pictures good enough for social media upload. Like in the Cubot Power, there is a 13MP camera up front for taking selfies.
Hardware and Software
The scene on the inside is pretty much the same as the other budget smartphones. MediaTek is the processor keeping things running, to be specific a MT6750T chipset. Gaming should go well to an extent with the Mali-T860 MP2 GPU but you should expect some skipping frames while playing heavy games.
To ease the performance, the smartphone provides you with 4GB of RAM and storage space of 64GB with an added support for expansion up to 128GB. To make things run smoothly, you have an almost pure Android 8.0 Oreo on the smartphone.
