Customer Review

Here's my review after a week:
+ Voice quality is good
+ 5 "qHD display is good and sufficient light
+ Android 4.2 is well suited, without scrap Apps (Firmware: V12)
+ Brightness sensor
+ Memory 1GB RAM / 16GB Internal Memory / SD Slot
+ Faster quad-core processor
o Battery life is 2000 mAh OK
o telephone and wireless reception OK
o No notification LED
o No internal compass
o slight noise on the Kophörerbuchse
- GPS takes several minutes for a fix
- Camera has distinct reddish
- OS dialogs partially translated and still in English

(+) Positive / (o) neutral / (-) negative

My conclusion:
For the price a great entry-level device.
The camera takes pictures, but really no longer.
The GPS is simply not usable for car navigation.

My Cubot S208 still came with Android 4.2.x - is to be hoped that Cubot the announced update to Android 4.4 (KitKat) Cubot the GPS and the camera corrects red cast in, because then that would be a real top On sale!

*** Update after 2 weeks ***
o the GPS is not that bad
In the town: 2 minutes to the first fix, after only 30 seconds.
On private parking: 30 sec to first fix.

o Camera: all a matter of correct App
With an alternative camera app of red cast is gone (keyword "White Balance")
The (Un) sharpness but will not be much better
