SIM Free Mobile Phones, CUBOT J5 Smartphone Unlocked with 5.5 Inch (18:9) Touch Display, Android 9.0, Triple Card Slot, 2GB Ram+16GB Rom, Fingerprint Sensor, Face ID, UK Version-Blue

This phone (as the title says) is aimed at the budget consumer. At a £79.99 price you cannot expect a Samsung Note 9 but you can still get a decent budget friendly phone with some nice features you'd probably not expect on a phone at this price pointSPECS:2 GB RAM, 16 GB Storage, Running Android 9.0, Dual SIM (Nano) and dedicated spot for Micro SD card (so you can have two sims AND a SD card if desired), 2800mAh battery, Back Camera setup is 13MP + 2MP and front shooter is 8MP, Screen/Display is 5.7 inches HD+ 18:9 ratio 1440*720, FPS on back.Performance:First thing is make sure you get a decent SD Card to add to the internal storage of 16GB. I bought a 64GB Class 10 rated with 90MB/s read (although I don't think I am getting that with this phone). Reason you want a decent SD card with good read/write speeds is because it WILL impact performance. we tried using an older SD card and the phone was extremely slow until I replaced with a better SD card. Strangely other apps like Temple Run (tried just to get an idea if performance was system wide or just specific apps) ran fine. Speaking of connection, I don't seem to have any issues with WiFi, Bluetooth or Mobile. I'm still early on with my purchase but I'll update if anything changes.Camera:I wasn't expecting much with this phone. Thought images would just look like older Standard Def pictures. But they are not actually too bad and I've included 3 pictures that I took with the phone. The video I shot with the phone was not too bad and the mic really picked up the sound very well. I also used the camera for Messenger and it worked.Display:It's not really too bad. I've surfed the internet, watched YouTube videos, recorded and watched my own for this review and the display is a decent display. I did select the 720p for YouTube while viewing just to see if there would be any issue and there wasn't.Conclusion:So who should buy this phone? Obviously it's a budget phone for those who mainly need a mobile but not all the bells and whistles that the higher price phones have. If you're not a heavy gamer, don't need a ton of "extras" and just need a phone that works, is connected and can take a decent photo then this phone may work for you. Likewise if you need a backup occasionally or want a cheaper phone for a child (who may lose the phone) then this will work for you.Some additional notes:Using a LG Mobile SD Card 64GB. Phone uses micro usb connection for data transfer and charging. Single speaker on bottom of phone. Does have the 3.5mm jack. Volume rocker and power button on right side with sim tray on left side. FPS on back of phone. Package included Uk power brick/wall adapter, usb cord, pre-installed screen protector, case, sim ejector, instruction booklet and of course the handset itself.

I can not give a full review of the product as I have only had it for a few days, how ever first impressions are good the phone looks good and performs well.there is a problem in that there is no manual to this phone while this might not be a problem to the experienced users for people like myself who are not familiar with mobile phones especially high end phones it does cause problems.Will await to see if a manual will be published online.

I wouldn't recommend this. I realize you get what you pay for, but we all need more than this - so it probably shouldn't be offered to us. It's ssssssszssllllloooooooowwwwwwww - using it incites me to rip my hair out. Molasses. I needed a replacement phone for only 6 weeks, but I'd seriously rather go without a phone all; pretend to live the wild for a bit rather then thinking I could depend on this. Don't do it. Save the money and the hassle of return. I'm pretty sure these products exist simply to collect our data. They don't care if you ever like or return the phone.

I hated this phone. I didn't realise it was a 3G phone but that's my mistake. Yes it's a budget phone but I literally could not use this phone properly outside of my house for Internet use. I was soo frustrated with it on a daily basis. The camera on it was OK but only OK. Not worth the £69 in my opinion. Thankfully it was my birthday last week and my fiancée bought me a new phone.

This was my first smartphone and I am still getting used to it. The instructions for getting started were not easy for a complete beginner but even after searching Google for more complete guidance I got the impression that such guidance does not exist. I used the Cubot website to get as much information as possible and am gradually making sense of things. I am very impressed with the appearance and feel of the phone. Among the features I have been able to work with so far I find the screen very easy to read and the 'keyboard' responsive and easy. The phone charged up quickly and I was pleasantly surprised to find it could predict time to next charge. I am not a heavy user but I am currently on 70% and have 'more than 2 days remaining". Happy to recommend it.

It's a great phone with all the features you would find on an android phone. The camera isn't as sharp as my old phone but that was expected. The video camera is great. Included is a cover for the back of the phone and a screen protector is already stuck on the phone, saved me having to put one on. Great phone for the price.

A cost effective phone that is smooth and responsive with a good screen. I only use the phone for basic tasks, i.e. phone, text, browsing and emails. The phone is perfect for the tasks I need it for.

Nice looking phone, as it's only 3g,a bit slow.but not a problem. The camera is quite good, and the phone does everything that is stated, so am quite happy with it. Bought it as my son managed to break my phone, but good as a standby, until I can afford another one
