CUBOT launches KingKong Dura rugged phone with dual batteries
CUBOT has released the KingKong Dura rugged smartphone featuring a removable battery and an included spare unit for extended use.
Device specifications and design
The phone measures 13mm thick and weighs 299.5g while offering IP68, IP69K and MIL STD 810H protection ratings. It features a 6.88 inch screen running at a 120Hz refresh rate with Android 16 preinstalled on the device. The hardware includes an entry-level Unisoc T620 chip that supports only 4G connectivity without any 5G capabilities available. Users receive two SKUs offering either 8GB RAM with 128GB storage or 12GB RAM paired with 256GB internal memory.
Pricing and availability details
Customers can purchase the lower specification model for €209.99 in Europe while the higher spec version costs €259.99 for an additional fifty Euro. American buyers may find the 8GB plus 128GB variant listed at $189.99 through online retailers like Amazon.com rather than direct CUBOT sites. UK customers can order from AliExpress where prices start around £142.01 with delivery times of approximately ten days from China. The device is available in black or green color options directly from the manufacturer or various online marketplaces.
Target audience and limitations
This pitch targets users needing power on tap during long shifts away from a charger rather than those seeking high performance speeds. The company sees a niche market for customers who will not be phased by the lack of processing grunt in the system. While the macro camera is weak at 2MP and WiFi is limited to version five, the removable battery design remains a rare feature. This approach keeps the device modestly sized compared to other rugged phones that often become viable replacements for sea anchors.
