The Cubot H1 gives you an added choice of a juice-laden and affordable smartphone, one that also offers a huge HD display, a quad-core processor and modest memory.

Design and Display
The Cubot H1 shows off a sleek design with a plastic body complemented by a metallic frame. It has a textured rear panel to make for firm grip. The design is simply practical; you may want to look elsewhere if you want something that gets heads turning.
The handset crams in a massive 5.5-inch display which is based on IPS technology. Although the huge touchscreen has a resolution of only 1,280 x 720 pixels, it surprisingly produces quality images, even when viewing content in the dark.
Camera and Storage
For shot taking, the Cubot H1 is equipped with an impressive 13-megapixel CMOS primary camera. The shooter has an f/2.0 aperture, LED flash, autofocus and Full HD (1080p) video recording capability. On the front, it is equipped with an 8-megapixel snapper for wide-angle selfies.
The inbuilt storage allocation of 16 GB is generous and should suffice for the needs of some users. If you find that insufficient, however, the phablet can take up to 32GB microSD card for storage expansion.
Performance and OS
The Cubot H1 is powered by a quad-core MediaTek MT6735P processor running along at a top speed of 1 GHz. The Cortex-A53 CPU is paired with an ARM Mali-T720 MP2 processor for smooth gaming. Performance is enhanced with the provision of respectable 2 GB of RAM.
The phablet boots Android 5.1 (Lollipop) operating system, meaning there is possibility of you gaining access to newer Android 6.0 Marshmallow via update.
Other Feature
The headline feature of the Cubot H1 is arguably its humongous Li-Polymer juicer with a capacity of 5,200 mAh. You can afford to leave the charger at home after topping up this battery.
The juicer is interestingly replaceable and supports fast charging. You will not be wrong to expect battery runtime of about three days here.
The Cubot H1 supports dual-SIM dual-standby feature. Available connectivity options include microUSB 2.0, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot. Interestingly, it supports ultra-fast 4G LTE connectivity as well.
Pricing and Availability
Cubot H1 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Cubot H1 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N30,000 to N40,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
