Cubot KingKong 5 Pro Review

Performance

The Cubot KingKong 5 Pro is equipped with the 12nm MediaTek Helio A25 (MT6762V/WD) chipset that is built on TSMC's FinFET production process. It houses an octa-core CPU with four 1.8GHz Cortex-A53 core and another quartet of those but clocked at 1.5GHz. The graphics department is handled by an IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU clocked at 600 MHz. There are 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage onboard. The latter can be expanded via a microSD card. Of those 64GB, 55GB is available to the user. Our review unit's results from the benchmark tests show a performance that's not as strong as the performance of other smartphones based on the same chipset. Other smartphones with a Helio A25 SoC which we have reviewed are the Doogee N30 and the Blackview BV6600. The AnTuTu 8.x.x score is 87,014 points. It is close to the Doogee N30 result, even though it's below it, and is far below the 96,482 points of the Blackview BV6600. The AnTuTu 9.x.x score is very low for this chipset, simply because it can't pass the 3D part of the test and gets zero points for it. The Geekbench 5 results for single- and multi-core performance are also lower than the results of the other two smartphones. The PCMark Work 3.0 result is on one level with the one of the other smartphones.
