Performance and Memory

Cubot X30 features MediaTek Helio P60 chipset. The SoC is based on TSMC 12nm and features four Cortex A73 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz, alongside four Cortex A53 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz. It was launched back in 2018 and its performance is comparable to that of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660.

The device is available in two memory configurations. The base model features 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Similarly, the top model has 8GB of RAM paired with 256GB of storage. Users can expand storage using a microSD card but by doing so they won’t be able to use the second sim card.

Camera

As mentioned earlier, the device features five cameras. The primary camera uses Samsung’s 48MP S5KGM1 lens. Similarly, there is a 16MP sensor for ultra-wide-angle shots. The smartphone also has a dedicated macro (5MP) and depth sensor(2MP). Cubot X30 Penta camera setup
