Short Review
- The Cubot A1 features a practical design with dimensions of 165.6 x 75.5 x 10.4 mm and a weight of 205g, available in Black, Blue, and Green.
- Its 6.56-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 269 ppi, though it lacks HDR support and operates at a 60Hz refresh rate.
