Here's some Amazon reviews, for those on the fence https://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B01FJX8OZK/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_summary?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=helpful

4150mAh battery and 3GB RAM is pretty astonishing at this price. No gyroscope, though. Some are saying GiffGaff 4G doesn't work (?), another reviewer says the networks are limited to Orange and O2 (?). A few moans about the camera and battery life.

The CPU is MTK6735, Quad-Core, 1.3GHz - apparently it can take up to a 128GB MicroSD card.

About Dual SIM: "Three slots on this phone, unlike some where you must choose sim or sd in slot 2."

It has a notification light, though apparently it's tiny.

One reviewer is complaining about Bluetooth capability
"1.The Bluetooth is very intermittent with audio devices. Sometimes you have to turn Bluetooth off and on to hear audio.
2.Videos on Facebook and Youtube won't play video just the audio."
(a few on the Amazon Q&A say they have no problems with Bluetooth audio, however)
3.It takes a very long time to charge. It will probably take you 8 hours or so to fully charge from flat, this doesn't really bother me because the battery seems to last forever so an overnight charge is more than enough."
(not sure if using a 2amp charger would improve the charging time).

Some are saying you have to flash this phone as it goes into sleep mode after about 10 minutes and apps stop (!)

One Amazon reviewer says:
"Simply, you use the phone and then put it down. You have sent a text message to a mate and you are waiting for a reply. It aint gonna happen if the message is sent after a ten minute period. For some reason the phone goes to sleep and will not accept any messages.
A way to test this was .... On my Note 2 I sent a message to the Cubot. The two blue ticks tell me the message is sent while the phone is on and all is good. I then wait ten minutes and send another message from my phone. The single tick displays but it will not deliver the message and the two ticks ( grey for delivered ) do not display. I check the Cubot and it hasn't received the message. I turn on the Cubot and then the message is displayed on the notification bar.

I emailed Cubot and received the email from them with a link to the patch...this is the link

Once you have downloaded this you then follow these steps to flash it:
settings – about phone – wireless update – local updates(on the right top corner) – internal storage - select the files which you just downloaded - install now - THIS WILL CARRY OUT A FLASH AND WILL DELETE ALL THE APPS AND ASSOCIATED ITEMS LIKE PHOTOS .... MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THEM ALL FIRST.
So am I happy with the Cubot Dinosaur ? You bet I am. Time will tell if it becomes problematic"

Heat for the phone name.

Heat for the phone name.

they have loads of cubot phones in stock from £50, and in the uk. it's a hot from me.

will these receive any updates?

33k antutu score....my 2 year old mobile has more than that...and the camera is terrible based on reviews. cold

*chuckles*

Great to see a UK retailer supplying these - hopefully that means there will be some warranty rather than being left in limbo by Chinese retailers.

so many of Chinese smartphones come in that **** gold color. they all look the same and I like it. heat
