This is a bulky phone however does not work with ATT contrary to what is advertised. It is well built and works smoothly, it's a bummer I will likely have to return it for a refund as I was looking forward to using it as someone who is outside in the elements on a daily basis. I guess I should have read all of the reviews otherwise I would not of purchased it

Just so you know, this is not a front pocket phone. It's around a half an inch thick. It feels like it weighs about half a pound. Maybe more. The overall performance is great. The seller failed to mention that it comes with a screen protector after I ordered a set of 3. The charger provided is the only one that will work off AC current only. Portable chargers with USB are not compatible. I like this phone alot. Hope it lasts.

So this is an upgrade from an old dinosaur LG v30 thinq I've been using. The v30 was super light and elegant. But the battery didn't last long. I needed a phone that would last all day long at work so the King Kong 9 look like the phone to get.
So included in my box along with the phone were two C cables, a charger block, c cable headphones, a screen protector but no squeegee to install it.
So this phone is heavy. Let me emphasize on "heavy".
It's also a lot taller than my previous phone. If you're in a big and bulky then we're in business.
Everything seems to run super smooth and fast. I've only installed one game on it"pubg"and it plays super smooth and fluid like. The OS is slimmed down with no bloatware. It does have a tool bag icon which offers a compass, level, plumb bob, a level to hang picture frames, and a decibel meter which is kind of cool. I'm not too sure how it'll hold up if you drop it on concrete as it seems like it would shatter or break. I hope not to find out as I do work in an environment with hard concrete floors
Things I do not like or have had problems with:

#1 When you eject the SIM tray there are two slots in the holder. One for the SIM, and the other for another Sim or a TF memory card. There's a small tin metal plate blocking the space for the TF card to make contact. So I have no clue how I'm supposed to install my memory card. It came with a small tri-fold instruction paper, but no instruction manual which I found very odd.
#2 the 100 megapixel camera takes pictures like a 720 vga camera. No matter if your taking a picture, or making a video it's as grainy as grape nuts cereal. I've tried different settings and everything else I could think of and the photo just looks like garbage pixelated with dots everywhere. (The night vision, and the 32 megapixel selfie are amazing) so the main camera is pretty much unusable. I don't know if this is a defect in the phone or just something I'm not setting up correctly. I'm pretty tech savvy but these two issues have me puzzled.
#3. The charging block runs pretty hot. I don't expect it to last very long.
I may send it back if I cannot get these resolved. After all what's the point of a new phone if it won't accept a memory card and the main camera does not work like it should?

Pretty good cell

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023

Color: blackVerified Purchase

Been using for a few months now. The speakers are meh. Nice screen. Battery does last around 5 days. I usually charge from 20 to 80 - 100. It takes a couple hours to charge. No app drawer. I hate having to keep my icons all over my screen/wallpaper. Great cameras. Nice videos. Night vision is cool. I know you can take pics via night vision, but not sure about a video. Would be nice if possible. Nice body. Feels hefty and rugged. Back screen is cute. Can only do camera/compass/music control/clock/notifications on it, but you can personalize a little bit. Only comes on if the main screen is off. It's cute nonetheless. Bluetooth 5.2 works great. Has a consistently steady connection to my headphones. I really wanted the Doogee S110, but that has Bluetooth 5.0. I detest when my music connects and disconnects due to a crappy Bluetooth connection. I take public transpo and don't like having to fidget with my cell cuz the Bluetooth sucks. I hate that you can't double tap to magnify. You have to go into accessibility and turn on this weird little icon that hangs out on the side of your screen. 🤮 It's irritating. Every now and then the cell glitches. Not too badly. I just have to shut the app down and then reopen it. WiFi connection is strong. I recently tried my first phone call outside via the cellphone towers, wasn't a great experience. Not sure what was going on there. Calls are great over WiFi. If you desire a decent cell for a pretty affordable price, this is a good choice. However, if you're able to hold out a little longer for a better cell, do so.

Top rugged ad un ottimo prezzo

Reviewed in Italy on May 6, 2024

Design , materiali e touch and feel📱
Il peso dello smartphone è il suo punto debole. Dopo poco però ci si fa l’abitudine. Per il resto bel design , bei materiali e bel touch and feel

Display🖼️
Buon display LCD , si vede bene anche alla luce del sole. Non è un oled ma è comunque un buon display con refresh rate a 120Hz.

Hardware & Software📱
Lo smartphone monta una CPU Mediatek Helio G99 , con 24 GB di RAM (16+8 espandibili). Ottimo hardware per la fascia di prezzo. Il sistema operativo è android 13 , con una UI abbastanza stock con poche personalizzazioni. Il sistema funziona benissimo, non ho mai riscontrato lag o rallentamenti. Veramente molto fluido e affidabile.

Connettività📶
Ottima ricezione del segnale. Peccato la mancanza del 5g. Presente l’NFC

Batteria🔋
Batteria di 10000mAh . Dura tantissimo. In media consumo il 20% di batteria al giorno.

Foto e video📷
Buona fotocamera, 100mpx + 32mpx frontali. E’ presente anche una fotocamera per le foto notturne. Si riescono a fare buoni scatti soprattuto con buone condizioni di luce.

Conclusione
Ottimo smartphone. Sicuramente tra i migliori rugged in questa fascia di prezzo . Ottimo hardware abbinato ad un software molto semplice e funzionale. Ottimo acquisto.

Super Handy für wenig Geld

Reviewed in Germany on February 19, 2024

Ich hatte davor das Kingkong 7 und war schon von im begeistert. Das 9er erfüllt alle meine Erwartungen: einem großen Bildschirm, Großer Akku der auch nach 6-7 Stunden Streamen noch 60-70% Ladung hat. Es reagiert super schnell und flüssig, egal was ich mit dem Handy mache ob im Netzt scrollen oder Spiele spielen. Die Kamera ist euch weit besser als beim Vorgänger würde behaupten das es auf dem Level von meinem alten S20 ist. Die Lautsprecher sind durchschnittlich, recht laut aber mehr nicht. Ich habe aber auch noch kein Smartphone gehabt wo man über die Lautsprecher einen Musikgenuss erlebt. Der Zweite Bildschirm ist eine nette kleine Spielerei, wo die Uhr, Schrittzähler, Akkustand, einen Kompass anzeigen kann und auch die Hauptkamera anzeigt also praktisch für Selfies. Zur Stabilität kann ich noch nichts sagen aber mein altes KK 7 hat Stürze, lag oft genug in der Badewanne im Wasser, Werkstattaltag und zwei Kinder ohne Probleme überlebt. Das einzigste was mich ein bisschen Stört ist nicht das Gewicht sondern die Dicke des Handys, aber das kann man sich ja bei 10500 Milliampere ja denken das es kein Butterkeks sein kann. Wer ein gut verarbeitetes, Stabiles, Schnelles Handy mit einer Akzepttablen Kammer sucht, mit dem man auch mal einen Nagel in die Wand kloppen kann macht mit dem KK9 nichts falsch. Preis Leistung stimmt definitiv, für mich Perfekt

un bijou en mains

Reviewed in France on December 19, 2023

Je suis absolument enchantée par mon nouveau téléphone ! La qualité est tout simplement exceptionnelle. Bien qu'il soit un peu plus lourd, on ressent immédiatement qu'il s'agit d'un appareil d'une qualité inégalée. Lorsque mon fournisseur d'accès a vu le téléphone pour changer la carte SIM, il était stupéfait et m'a assuré que j'avais fait un choix durable !
Les applications s'ouvrent rapidement, la navigation sur Internet est fluide, et la réactivité générale du téléphone est excellente. La batterie conserve bien sa charge, ce qui représente un avantage considérable pour moi, car je peux l'utiliser tout au long de la journée. J'adore la notification arrière avec l'horloge. C'est un gadget mais bien sympa. Il s'active que si le téléphone est en veille. C'est bon à savoir car je ne voyais pas du tout l'écran s'allumer au début.
En ce qui concerne la caméra, elle est tout simplement fantastique ! Les photos sont d'une netteté incroyable. C'est vraiment étonnant et un changement par rapport à mon ancien Samsung et Crosscall Le seul hic pour moi c'est que le cable ne se relie pas sur mon pc pour le transfert de photos, du coup j'utilise une application en attendant d'acheter un câble avec sortie usb simple.
Quant aux fonctionnalités, je suis en train de les découvrir. L'utilisation est simple, et bien que j'aie initialement été préoccupée par l'absence de tutoriel, l'équipe s'est révélée être très réactive ! merci!
En résumé, je recommande vivement ce téléphone. C'est un investissement qui mérite vraiment d'être fait, et je suis extrêmement satisfaite de mon choix. Prête à faire un suivi au fil des années! ;-)

Una bestia, me encanta

Reviewed in Spain on October 18, 2023

Lo compré por 230€ y tras casi un mes de uso, debo decir que estoy muy contento con el móvil. La pantalla trasera tiene una interfaz funcional y bonita estéticamente (como la de un smartwatch), una cámara mas que decente con función HDR y mejora por AI, por no hablar de la visión nocturna que siempre es un plus, 12GB de RAM ampliable a 24GB con (12GB de virtual RAM), batería muy duradera, y los 120Hz de pantalla son un gustazo.
Los únicos puntos negativos son que tiene los altavoces en la parte trasera, y en cuanto a grosor y peso, son bastante elevados, pero con el tiempo te adaptas (al menos yo lo he hecho) pero por todo lo demás, es un móvil muy potente, resistente, y de lo mejor que he visto calidad-precio.

ECCELLENTE

Reviewed in Italy on February 29, 2024

Ottimo smartphone rugged. Qualità costruttiva ottima. Qualcuno lo definisce un p'ò pesante, ma l'ergonomia ben studiata compensa parecchio questo "difetto". Processore velocissimo. Display veramente molto molto buono, niente da invidiare a smartphone più blasonati e costosi (venivo da un iphone 11 pro). Fotocamere ottime così come il menù delle funzioni. Da lode la fotocamera notturna. Batteria di notevole amperaggio che ancora non sono riuscito a testare la durata ma credo che 2 giorni di uso intenso li possa fare tranquillamente. Comunque la più bella kikka è il piccolo display tuch posteriore -FANTASTICO- e poi c'è Android 13. Smartphone dalle dimensioni importanti, adatto a chi lavora ma anche a chi vuole cambiare moda e stile dai classici smartphone, credo che dia anche un bel tocco di originalità e importanza alla persona ed il tutto ad un prezzo molto conveniente viste le caratteristiche del prodotto.
