CUBOT has expanded its popular A‑series lineup with the launch of the CUBOT A50, successor to the well‑received CUBOT A40. Contrary to earlier preliminary reports claiming a larger display, the new A50 actually shrinks the panel size while bringing FHD+ resolution, fresh youthful colour options and platform upgrades, marking a clear design and hardware refresh for the brand’s budget‑focused smartphone family.
A compact‑sized FHD+ display for daily use
The predecessor CUBOT A40 featured a large 6.88‑inch HD+ 120Hz display, ideal for media consumption and multi‑tasking. For the A50, CUBOT switches to a 6.58‑inch IPS FHD+ screen (2408 × 1080, 20:9 aspect ratio, 401 ppi) with 60 Hz refresh rate and an 81 % screen‑to‑body ratio.
While the physical diagonal is smaller than the A40, the jump to full FHD+ resolution delivers sharper image detail for streaming, social‑media browsing and video calls. The more compact physical footprint also makes the phone easier to hold and operate one‑handed, a practical trade‑off for everyday users.
Fresh colours, youthful energy
One of the most eye‑catching updates on the CUBOT A50 is its revised colour palette. Moving away from the subdued Black, Purple and Titan Grey finishes of the A40, the A50 ships with three distinct styling choices:
🔵 Blue – bold and energetic, great for users wanting to stand out
🟠 Orange – warm youthful tone that adds strong personal character
⚫ Black – classic sleek finish for buyers preferring understated minimalism
This colourful refresh targets younger, style‑conscious audiences who want their smartphone to reflect personal taste alongside practical functionality. The bright Blue and Orange variants help the A50 stand out among traditionally conservative entry‑level devices on the market.
Full key specifications
The CUBOT A50 upgrades the chip platform and software stack compared to the A40, while keeping its entry‑level positioning:
- Processor: Unisoc T620 octa‑core (2.2 GHz, Mali‑G57 GPU)
- Memory configurations: 4 GB / 6 GB RAM; 128 GB built‑in storage, expandable via microSD card
- Display: 6.58‑inch IPS FHD+ (2408 × 1080), 60 Hz, 401 ppi
- Camera: Triple rear‑camera array with 48 MP main sensor plus macro lens; records Full‑HD video
- Battery: 5000 mAh non‑removable battery
- Operating System: Android 16
- Extras: NFC support, no 3.5 mm headphone jack
For reference, the older CUBOT A40 packed Unisoc T606 chipset, Android 15, up to 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage, 48 MP rear camera and a 5100 mAh battery with a 6.88‑inch 120 Hz HD+ panel. The A50 trades screen size and high refresh rate for newer silicon, higher‑resolution FHD+ panel and updated Android 16 software.
Availability
CUBOT A50 is expected to roll out in the coming weeks across key markets including Europe, South America and Asia. Official retail pricing has not yet been published, but given the A‑series’ established budget positioning, the A50 is expected to land at a competitive entry‑level price point.
