Summary
- The Cubot A40 features a larger 6.88-inch IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, but it has a lower resolution of 720 x 1640 pixels compared to the Honor Note 10's 6.95-inch AMOLED display at 1080 x 2220 pixels and HDR10 support, resulting in a sharper image.

- The Cubot's camera system includes a 48 MP main sensor, which surpasses the Honor's 16 MP primary camera, but the Honor has a dual-camera setup that may enhance photo quality.
- Battery capacity is slightly higher in the Cubot at 5100 mAh compared to 5000 mAh in the Honor, but the latter supports faster 22.5W charging.
- The Cubot runs on the latest Android 15, while the Honor operates on an older Android 8.1 with EMUI 8.2, potentially affecting software experience and updates.
