OUKITEL says that the Official Price is $59.99, but you know each e-shop might apply different prices.

My C4 has been shipped! I'll probably receive it this week. I should receive the black variant, let's see how good it is.
Considering that the C3 was great, i think this one will be even better.

Review
Introduction
This is the OUKITEL C4
Hardware
This device is powered by a Mediatek MT6737 SOC clocked at 1.25GHz, with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of ROM. Being one of the first devices available to public with MT6737 SOC, it provides some nice improvements compared to the MT6735 such as VoLTE support. Everything is supported by a 8MP Rear Camera and 5MP Front Camera, both interpolated. A real successor to the previous, and well-made, OUKITEL C3.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with basic accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/1A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Warranty Certificate and the Smartphone (of course). No TPU Cover or Screen Protector, but as always a screen protector is already applied.
The device has a Plastic Chassis, with a rare design that provides better grip. It feels solid enough, maybe feels just a bit cheap due to the Chassis Color (Opaque Golden), and the back cover is removable with a slide method.
It is 14.37x7.26x0.93cm, compact enough and pretty light too, just 165g.
On the front side there is the Standard Flat Glass, no 2.5D, with not-so-small bezels. The upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. Unfortunately there is no Notification LED, but this device is ultra-cheap for its specs so we can't have all.
On the lower front side there is only the Soft Keys area, with Menu, Home and Back touch buttons.
On the back side there is the plastic back cover, with a glass-like surface that isn't bad at all, but a bit scratchy. It can be replaced though, and it makes the whole device a bit more stylish.
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor supported by a Single Rounded Flash (Single-Tone) configuration. It is almost flat, without any risk of scratch.
The lower rear side of the device features the brand logo, and the Speaker Hole.
Device
Screen
The screen is bright enough, with a good white balance but there is a noticeable banding issue, easily fixable with a software update.
Light Sensor supports partial smooth light changes, sufficient for smooth fading in/out. This is its maximum brightness.
Viewing Angles do not suffer any issue at all, perfect in every condition, and here you will definitely the banding issue i said before.
Camera
Rear Camera provides sufficient photo quality, it is just a 5MP interpolated to 8MP so you can't expect something better, but it is enough for occasional photos.
The Single Flashlight works pretty well, maybe even better than some other more expensive device i have reviewed.
As regards Video Recording, well just like photos you can't expect super quality. It records 1080p Videos, just like any latest device, but its quality is just sufficient. Again, this isn't a device made for photos. The same applies for the Front Camera, no wide-angle is here.
Audio
Speaker is extremely loud, just like the previous OUKITEL C3, a bit distorted at maximum volume but its quality isn't bad at all. Low Frequancies are missing, but there are no issues as regards the clarity.
In-Call Quality is decent, and pretty loud too. Everyone was able to hear me perfectly. Microphone Quality seems to be good.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
Thanks to the 4G Band 20 support (some other Chinese Smartphones don’t have it), I’m almost always and everywhere connected to the 4G Network of my Mobile Network Provider (TIM Italy).
Also 3G Signal Reception is accurate, actually I never managed to get connected to the 2G Network of my Mobile Operator because there was always some 3G Signal available.
4G Network Speed is pretty good, it highly depends on your Mobile Operator and mine isn’t pretty good. While 3G Network Speed, is just fine as it should.
WiFi 2.4GHz speed is decent, I managed to get connected to my network connection at 65mbps, and Speed Tests reached more or less 35mbps.
Battery Life
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and as you can see it matches the declared value. (declared 2000mAh, real almost 2050mAh). The previous OUKITEL C3 has a 2300mAh battery, this is the only downgrade i notice.
As always, every device i review gets tested with the Geekbench Battery Test. A good result for such a small battery.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/386759
Charging Times are not extremely high, the 1A charger helps compared to 0.5A USB Charging, but still not fast as 2A or Quick Charging times.
Software
Following its nice way to develop the OS, OUKITEL choose to use an almost completely clean version of Android 6 Marshmallow, with usual Mediatek features and nothing else. Smooth and Lightweight.
Just like other last-gen Mediatek Devices, there are some typical features such as Gestures, Scheduled Power On/Off, etc…
The UI is almost always responsive, i have noticed some small lags and RAM issues under heavy usage because the OS is 64-bit based, not a nice choice for a 1GB device. Maybe they will release an update that will make it switch to 32-bit who knows. I hope so.
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 3, GFXBench, PCMark (Work & Storage) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.
3DMark – GPU Performance isn't superb, lower than MT6737, maybe the software isn't ready enough. I hope to see some improvements here.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is sufficient for basic daily tasks, a software update might improve it.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
Epic Citadel – As you can see, 3D performance is medium. Not as good as MT6735, but sufficient.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (4x Cortex-A53), enough to handle almost every type of activity.
GFXBench – Due to RAM issues, almost every test crashed so...i will wait some updates to retry this test.
PCMark – As you can see, only the Writing score is a bit lower than others.
Work
Storage
Vellamo – Even if this is a RAM Hungry Benchmark, it still provides some good results.
It is clearly noticeable that this device needs some software improvements as regards performance, and considering the previous OUKITEL C3 updates, they won't abandon it.
Conclusions
OUKITEL choose to use an MT6737 SOC to provide a nice improvement over the MT6580 used with OUKITEL C3, there are no doubts that this is something that i appreciate, the device feels solid and is super-cheap considering its specs, but the software needs to be improved. Excluding this issue, i do not notice anything else negative or that might impact its daily usage.
So, do I recommend it? If you are searching for the cheapest MT6737 ever made, offering 4G, VoLTE and decent build-quality for such a low price, this is definitely for you.
Pros:
Bright Screen
Insanely Cheap
Solid Chassis
Good Battery Life
4G and VoLTE support
Cons:
Software needs huge improvements
Noticeable Screen Banding issue (probably related to the software)
No Notification LED
Smaller Battery than the OUKITEL C3
No TPU Cover included
Touchscreen Sensitivity isn't great

White & Black Colors Comparision!
On the Black Variant the Chassis has a gold-like color, while on the White Variant it has a Pink color.
Also, as you can clearly see, screen borders look huge on the white variant.​

Thanks for this detailed review, I think I'll buy this device. Do you think that they will release the kernel source / device tree?

Oh, how sad

Received my Oukitel C4 today. The phone feels really solid, and performance is pretty good. Volume and Power keys feel a little bit clicky but that does not bother me. A big con is the internal storage, it is labeled with 8 GB, but 4 GB are used by the Android system. So all in all you can only use 4 GB which can lead to problems with apps which cannot be moved to the sd card. I should also mention, that OTG is NOT supported (have seen some sellers which advertised it with OTG.) The OS is more or less vanilla Android 6.0 with some nice MediaTek related features like customizable gestures, duble tab to wake / sleep, schceduled power on/off etc... The phone has a very clear and bright screen and the speaker which is located at the back has decent audio quality.
All in all i am satisfied. The phone has by far the best price-performance ratio I have ever seen!

Hi all,GPS is good in this phone ? Tnx

Hmm,
Isn't Oukitel violating the GPL by not releasing the source?

Yes, just like the 99% of all Chinese Companies. Unfortunately, there is no GPL in China so they have the rights to choose whether to release such packages or not.

Hey, just found out that homtom released their kernel source + device tree for the homtom ht17 which uses the sane SoC like the C4. Maybe it is possible to boot this kernel on the C4?

Leaked News:
According to new updates on OUKITEL official website, OUKITEL is starting a new device OUKITEL U15 Pro with 3GB RAM and 32GB RAM.
The upcoming OUKITEL U15 Pro is not the first device that packs 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM, but it is definitely unique.
It is designed to be a 5.5 inch super thin device with curved-side edges, just like the OUKITEL K7000. U15 Pro includes a 5.5 inch SHARP display running at resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels, a MediaTek MTK6753 Octa-core 1.3GHz chipset with Samsung 3GB of RAM, 32GB of onboard storage with 128GB expandable flash memory.
It also gets a fingerprint sensor which allows 0.1s screen unlock and a 3000mAh SCUD built-in Li-polymer battery. In the detailed images, U15 Pro will equip with a 16MP primary sensor on the back. It will run Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
The OUKITEL U15 Pro specs are already listed on OUKITEL official website: http://www.oukitel.com/products/u/u15-pro-55.html​

OUKITEL U15 Pro is aimed to hit a competitive price with a good features ratio. They decided to make it among the world's most cost-effective Octa-Core smartphones.
U15 Pro gets a metal body with capacitive keys and arc glass design. It features a 5.5 inch HD LCD display by the brand SHARP. It is powered by MediaTek MTK6753 chipset (Octa-Core 1.3GHz ARM Cortex-A53 CPU with ARM Mali-T720 MP3 GPU). For better multi-tasking, it has been combined with 3GB of RAM, 32GB ROM and 128GB maximum expandable storage. (does it mean exFAT support?)
The fingerprint sensor on the back also gets additional functions other than providing security unlocking devices, just like almost all latest devices featuring it. It works also as a shutter button to take photos and as a switch to browse between photos while in gallery. It also works as a button to answer phone calls, play/stop playing music and videos.
On the back there is a 13MP camera, together with a 2MP front camera, but both cameras are interpolated to 16MP and 5MP.
To make it thin, it features a 3000mAh SCUD built-in Li-polymer battery which should be enough for one day use.
Also, it supports 2G, 3G and 4G networks, along with GPS, Bluetooth, FM radio and a/b/g/n WiFi. For almost-worldwide FDD LTE, it gets bands 1/3/7/8/20 support. More details for OUKITEL U15 Pro can be found on OUKITEL official website.
Presale for U15 Pro already started and normal delivery for will start at the end of October.
U15 Pro is designed to be 8.7mm as regards the thickness, while there will be another new device named as U15s that will be thinner than U15 Pro, only 7.1mm for the thickness and will have higher specs than U15 Pro too. It will be still Octa-Core, but running on MT6750 chipset. A dedicated thread for the U15s will be opened soon.​

No Commercial Advertising here, otherwise I would have written it.

As the K10000S with 10000mAh battery is still in the project phase, OUKITEL still works on other devices. A good news is that their latest Octa-Core smartphone U15 Pro is about to start delivery within this week. Now OUKITEL U15 Pro is getting its first hands on video.
OUKITEL U15 Pro is a 5.5 inch HD smartphone with original SHARP from Japan. The battery is not as big as K10000S, but still gets 3000mAh battery for one day use. The battery is supplied by SCUD, which are 100% tested before shipment to ensure safety. It also features ergonomic design for the back to fit human hand perfectly. On the back it gets a fingerprint sensor, allowing fast unlock and private protection.
For the hardware, it carries MediaTek MT6753 Octa-core 1.3GHz chipset, 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM, 16MP primary camera and a 5MP front facing camera. It also designed a 3-color notification LED to get alerts for new messages and notifications. It still runs on Android 6.0 OS.

Plastic, glass, metal. What would you like as a smartphone material considering the touch feel in your hand?
What will it happen to these 3 different smartphones back cover?
Watch the video here, Samurai inside
In this video, these guys try to cut an OUKITEL U15 PRO and other 4 different smartphones with a knife, a Samurai Sword and Samurai Long Sword. Result unbelievable! Also K10000 participated in this video, used to knock the nails.
U15 Pro, together with U15S are both featuring aircraft aluminum metal alloy, making it a strong toughed smartphone.
Not too many manufacturers release Devices with Metal Back Cover because the signal is hard to adjust. OUKITEL managed to do so. To adjust the signal to this tough metal device, the OUKITEL Product Team worked for several months by testing it again and again, and finally they made the well designed U15 Pro and U15S.
OUKITEL U15 Pro is on pre-sale now, delivery starts from the end of this week. Users that have already pre-ordered it might get it soon.​

Introduction
This is the OUKITEL U15 Pro.
Hardware
Powered by a Mediatek MT6753 SOC clocked at 1.3GHz, the device might result a bit outdated, but trust me, this is the fastest MT6753 device ever made. You will know why soon. It features 3GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM and a 13MP Rear Camera, unfortunately interpolated to 16MP. Each built-in hardware is quality-made, made by Samsung, SHARP and SCUD.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with basic accessories, just like all OUKITEL devices: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/1A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x SIM Card Tray Eject Tool, 1x TPU Cover and the Smartphone (of course). A screen protector is already applied.
This is one of the first Q4 2016 device from OUKITEL made with an Unibody Metal Chassis, and just like all Metal Devices from OUKITEL, it feels super-solid and doesn't have any minor issue. Impressive. Antenna areas, located on the lower & upper parts of the device, are made of Plastic (otherwise the signal would be messed up).
It is 15.30x7.81x0.88cm, slightly larger than other 5.5 inches devices because its bezels are not so small. It weights 204g, considering the Unibody Metal Chassis this is just fine.
On the front side there is the common 2.5D Curved Display and the upper front side of the device features the standard set of things: a Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. Is the Notification LED here? Yes, it is. (RGB)
I won't talk about the Notification LED in the Software paragraph because it isn't customizable at all. Here you can see some real-life photos.
On the lower front side there is the Touch Keys area, with Menu, Home and Back touch buttons. Not Backlit.
On the back side there is the Unibody Metal Chassis, nothing to complain about it. Impressive build quality.
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor supported by a Dual-LED Flashlight (not Dual-Tone), and the compact, rounded, Fingerprint Scanner.
On the lower rear side there is just the OUKITEL logo, the Speaker is positioned on the lower side of the device.
Device
Screen
Compared to other devices, the screen is a bit warmer than usual (just like all SHARP ones, interesting) and there is no MiraVision menu so you can't calibrate it. Color Accuracy is normal, with natural colors.
Light Sensor supports smooth light changes, this is its maximum brightness. One of the brightest 5.5" screens i have ever tried.
Viewing Angles are as good as you would expect from an IPS screen.
Camera
This is the first device i try with an OnSemi AR1337 13MP Sensor, that should feature PDAF and great image quality. Well...i can't say that image quality is great here. It is just average, with great photos only in ultra-high light conditions. I'm pretty sure that this is a software bug, so i hope to see a software update with many improvements. I have already installed the latest OTA update with the "Improve Camera Quality" words in the Changelog, but...it was useless.
"HDR off" on the left and "HDR on" on the right. HDR photos are just brighter, no real HDR.
Photos taken on medium light conditions are pretty noisy.
Macro Photos seems to be great, but as you can see the focus is a bit messed up.
As regards the Flashlight, it is pretty powerful, making my cat looking amazing. (just sleeping, as every cat do...)
As regards Video Recording, 1080p videos are average, a bit noisy though. Again, the software doesn't help here.
Front Camera is a Wide-Angle variant GalaxyCore GC2365, noisy (damn...) and provides a decent level of details enough for nowadays usage.
Audio
Speaker's Quality on this device, unlike previous OUKITEL devices, is much better, a good amount of low-frequencies are here (finally) and the Volume is medium-high. Well Done OUKITEL!
As regards the Microphone, it is super sensitive with no issues as regards its quality. Everyone was able to hear me correctly while in-call.
GPS
Considering that this is a Unibody Metal device, you (and me too) might expect lower GPS quality or accuracy. Well, i do not know how, but OUKITEL managed to find a solution to this drama. GPS Signal is high, even higher indoors (weird), and manages to lock satellites in less than 2 seconds.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
It seems that other chinese companies should hire OUKITEL engineers in order to get this result on other Full-Metal devices hehe.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
NOTE: If you see "WIND" (Operator Name) on some screenshots, that's my secondary SIM with no Mobile Data, Signal and Speed Tests are made using my Primary SIM Card. This is used only for minor tests.
OUKITEL provides full european bands support, with 4G Band 20 (some other Chinese Smartphones don’t have it). Unfortunately, even though the 4G signal is high and stable, somehow all speedtests done weren't able to get some nice results. Software Optimization is required.
3G Signal Reception is accurate too, actually I never managed to get connected to the 2G Network of my Mobile Operator because there was always some 3G Signal available. (luckily there are no coverage issues here)
As already said, 4G Network Speed is low, even though it highly depends on your Mobile Operator and mine isn’t pretty good, this doesn't mean that it is normal to get 3G Speed on 4G network. This is what happens on this device. 3G Network Speed is even lower.
WiFi 5GHz is supported here, and seems to work pretty well with my 802.11n Dual-Band Connection. It isn't able to get full speed (100/20), but it is still a bit higher than 2.4GHz speed. Connected to 54MBps, because it seems that the 5GHz antenna isn't pretty powerful.
Battery Life
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and it seems that the real battery capacity is much higher than the declared one. (declared 3000mAh, real ~3200mAh). All OUKITEL devices had (and still have) this nice extra-power.
This is the Geekbench Battery Test, the battery runtime is probably a bit low for a 3000mAh battery, but the Battery Score is higher than average so, it may be improved with future OTA updates.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/391236
As regards battery charging times, the 5V/1A charger isn't pretty good to handle 3000mAh batteries so expect more than 2 hours of Charging Time.
Software
As always, all OUKITEL devices features an almost completely clean Android 6.0 release providing a buttery smooth experience in almost all menus and apps, similar to Nexus/Pixel devices, even though there is some Mediatek stuff here.
Just like other last-gen Mediatek Devices, there are some typical features such as Gestures, Scheduled Power On/Off, etc…
Unfortunately, just like on ALL OUKITEL devices, there is no Compass/Magnetometer neither Gyroscope sensors. I have already gave to OUKITEL the advice to add at least the Compass Sensor on future devices, let's hope that they will hear it.
As already said before, even though there is a Notification LED, it isn't customizable at all.
The Fingerprint Scanner can be initialized as easy as on all Android 6.0 devices, and its accuracy is decent, not as perfect as was on the K7000, i might say 7/10. It is lightning fast though.

Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.
3DMark – GPU Performance is highest than most MT6753, thanks to the HD-only screen.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is superb, comparable with high-end devices.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
Epic Citadel – 3D performance is great considering the outdated Mali-720MP3 GPU inside.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (4x Cortex-A53), multi-core score is impressive though.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – Well OpenGL 3.0 benchmarks are pretty intensive, and this is where an outdated GPU lacks power. OpenGL 2.0 tests provide better results though, still better than MT6737 with bugged GPU performance.
PCMark – Standard MT6753 Performance here, with some extra performance.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Unlike previous tests, there are no major performance gains compared to other MT6753 devices.
I have reviewed many MT6753 devices, and i have to admit that this is the only one (together with the UHANS S1, but it wasn't as fast as this one regarding eMMC performance) that managed to impress me. The UI is super smooth, there are no lags at all while scrolling pages (even heavy webpages), and it is still able to provide some nice horsepower to handle 3D games with no major lags even though everything is powered by an outdated MT6753 SOC.
Conclusions
It is hard to be disappointed with OUKITEL devices, it happened only one time with the U7 Plus, but it still wasn't a completely disappointment. And...this device is no exception. This is an impressive device, OUKITEL managed to get some extra-juice from the MT6753 SOC with a great result.
Even though the Camera isn't as optimized as i would have expected, everything else is almost excellent, especially considering its price.
So, do I recommend it? Yes, it is hard to find something better for the same price.
Pros:
High Screen Brightness
Fast Fingerprint Sensor
Impressive eMMC Internal Storage
Quality-Made Unibody Metal Chassis
WiFi 5GHz Support
RGB Notification LED
Cons:
Noisy Cameras (Rear and Front)
No Compass/Gyroscope Sensors
Missing MiraVision Menu

OUKITEL releases K10000 Pro at MWC 2017
According to the poster in OUKITEL booth, the K10000 Pro defined its slogan as ”To be the King”. Taking a look at the folder poster, K10000 Pro is improving many aspects compared to the K10000. The battery will be a 10100mAh variant packing a 12V/2A flash charger. It’s still 5.5 inch display but the resolution has been improved to 1920*1080 for more fantastic visual effect. The chipset has been improved to MT6750T octa-core processor together with 4GB RAM+32GB ROM. The camera is getting some exciting changes too: 8MP front facing camera and 16MP primary camera. It seems that all the main specs are upgrading to a higher level.

I'm not sure but it seems to be the K10000 Pro, but the Orange Variant. Unfortunately there is a reflection in the photo that doesn't allow to see the camera sensor.

Yeah you might be right too. (or it could be another model, K10000 Plus instead of Pro)

Yes, that too because i think the original name of the new K10000 was K10000s and this is K10000 Pro.
So, it could be 2 models K10000 Pro and K10000s.
In this case, i would definitely buy the waterproof! its awesome!!!!

Final Specs added to first post.

Review Unit from the company.

Hi, I have just receive my Oukitel K10000 Pro
First thing, the very bad idea for the USB port, it's an specific USB cable (the metal connector is more long than others!)
I think to cut a smal part of my phone, to can put any USB cables ...
Actualy, I try to root it, but I don't get it yet (OEM Unlock is enable).
I can get FastBoot try to boot other receovery.img, but reboot (none of tried image will boot actualy, no ADB root availiable).
Stock ROM have Google Apps, no blotwares. No root acces. I have in the box, silicone case, leater case, screens protections. Packaging is good.
I will test it whn I get it root, no before (because I m afraid for hidden communications in backgroud, this is a Chiness phone )
And ? Yes, it's strang to get it in the hand, it's heavy

how about root please ? nothing on needrom...

Review (part 1)
Introduction
This is the OUKITEL K10000 Pro.
Hardware
Starting from the previous K10000, OUKITEL is known to release Smartphone with a battery as big as something you can find in a Power Bank, and with this K10000 Pro it is becoming really serious, with mid-end specs instead of low-end that probably limited the users target. Just like latest flagships from OUKITEL such as the K6000 Plus and U11 Plus, also this one is powered by a Mediatek MT6750T, but with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM.
Unboxing
The Packaging of this device is unique, i have never seen so many indipendent boxes and amount of accessories for a single smartphone. As a result, i need to divide the unboxing in multiple parts.
MAIN PACKAGE: 1x Smartphone (of course, even though the box can contain two of them), 1x TPU/Silicone Case, 1x User Manual and 1x Warranty Certificate
PACKAGE #1: 1x Leather Pouch (that can't be used with the Silicon Case)
PACKAGE #2: 1x 5/7/9/12V USB Charger (Pump Express)
PACKAGE #3: 1x OTG Cable and 1x Micro-USB Cable
PACKAGE #4: 1x Glass Screen Protector (with all tools to apply it)
Just impressive. Also, a Plastic Screen Protector is already pre-applied.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The design is both elegant and sporty in the same time, with a mixture between a Vertu and some other brands that make this kind of bulky premium devices. The Quality is great, with Metal for the Side Chassis and Plastic for everything. Maybe some extra Metal would have been better, but this is already an heavy device, the more Metal you add, the more heavy the device becomes.
It is 16.1x7.74x14.35cm, as thick as a Power Bank more or less, but the overall size isn't bad at all, considering that i have reviewed devices with a similar size but much lower battery capacity. The weight is...really high. It isn't impossible to say that it doesn't feel heavy, it is heavy and bulky, but it couldn't have been otherwise.
On the front side there is a rare-to-find Flat Display (no 2.5D) and the upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. Unfortunately, a Notification LED isn't here. Why? I guess because you can keep the screen-on forever (Daydream/Screen Saver) and the device will still reach the end of the day. It is still a missing feature though.
As regards the lower front side, there is the soft-keys zone with Recents, Home and Back buttons, not backlit.
On the back side there is the Plastic Back Cover with a Leather (synthetic or real, i don't know, it feels synthetic to me) Layer in the center.
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor supported by a Single-LED - Single-Tone Flashlight, together with the Fingerprint Scanner in the center.
On the lower rear side there is only the OUKITEL logo since the Speaker is positioned on the lower side of the device.
Device
Screen
As an huge upgrade from the K10000 (not PRO), this one has a FHD IPS Screen with a overall good color reproduction, still with the usual high color temperature that doesn't make the white balance perfect. It is still better than the K6000 Plus screen though.
Its light sensor supports smooth light changes with a maximum brightness of ~370lux. Not too high, neither too low.
Viewing Angles are as good as you would expect from a good IPS screen, and the lack of a 2.5D glass reduces even more the gap between the screen and the real glass.
Camera
Unlike what happened with the U11 Plus featuring the same Rear Camera sensor (AR1335), this one has a complete set of Camera Features, with an overall decent photos quality and good performance for low-light shots. Unfortunately though, it shares the same flashlight bug found on most latest OUKITEL devices. (out-of-sync)
Some HDR On/Off shots plus some extra random photos.
Excluding the out-of-sync issue, the flashlight is pretty powerful and is able to provide a lot of light to support the camera sensor.
As regards Video Recording, 1080p30 videos are recorded with a decent level of details, just remember that there is no OIS so you can’t expect stable videos.
The Front Camera is a standard GalaxyCore GC5025 (5MP), with Wide-Angle.
Audio
Speaker Quality is average, with almost inexistent low-frequencies but with an high level of volume.
As regards the Microphone, it is decent, maybe not the best i have ever tried on a smartphone, but still acceptable. In-Call Quality is decent too, nothing to complain about.
GPS
Thanks to the Plastic Back Cover, the GPS gets maximum signal everywhere, everytime. Probably the most performant MT6750T device for Signal and Accuracy.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
Providing full european bands support (with 4G Band 20), the device was able to keep a stable connection to my 4G Network, but there is an issue somewhere with the Modem/Baseband, because even with maximum 4G signal, the speed was really bad (as you can see from the screenshot). OUKITEL, take a look at this.
I know that this is weird, but as regards the WiFi Connection the situation is completely different. I have never seen a smartphone with a mid-end Mediatek CPU reaching so high speed (almost the maximum from my internet connection) using my 5.0GHz connection. Outstanding.
Battery Life
This battery monster isn't only declared to have a 10000mAh, but it also matches that capacity for real, with a small extra of 240mAh.
Also on this device, i was able to run the PCMark Battery Test correctly, and the result is as impressive as you would expect from a 10000mAh battery. Almost 24 hours. Sincerely, i might have expected an even higher result, but i think the device still needs some improvements for power management.
As regards battery charging times, the MTK Pump Express charger is just a MUST in order to recharge the smartphone in a reasonable time. It gets a bit hot while charging, but it takes more or less 3 hours, and the ambient temperature was 32/33 degrees celsius. (yeah a bit hot to be an indoor temperature)
Software
Following most previous OUKITEL devices, including the K10000 (not PRO), also this one comes with a Clean Android 7.0 Nougat release, with May 2017 security patches and no pre-installed bloatware.
The UI feels smooth, with rocking solid performance even while running intensive tasks, and almost inexistent micro-lags.
The usual pack of Mediatek features is here, with MiraVision, Gestures (such as tap-to-wake) and so on...
There is no Gyroscope or Magnetometer/Compass...also on this one...
No malwares detected with Malware-Bytes Anti-Malware using latest definitions.
The Fingerprint Scanner is accurate. I managed to unlock the screen everytime. As regards the unlock speed, it is almost instant.

Review (part 2)
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.
3DMark – Thankfully the Mali-T860MP2 is able to beat the K10000 (not PRO) with no doubts.
AndroBench – Sligtly unstable I/O performance, with high read speed but a bit too much low write speed.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
Epic Citadel – 37.9FPS, just sufficient for acceptable 1080p gaming experience.
GeekBench – 8x Cortex-A53 cores with the usual low single core performance and decent multi-core performance.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – As expected, this hard-to-handle benchmark struggles to run on this GPU, but it is really demanding compared to what games really require to run.
PCMark – Usual scores for this Benchmark Suite, do not need to be commented.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Compared to other MT6750T devices i have reviewed, i think there is something limiting CPU performance slightly, i guess the lack of a metal back cover causes the CPU to get hot easier.
Conclusions
There are many words to describe this device, some are positive, some are negative, but none of them can matters really except this: UNIQUE. Based on a research i made (you can do it by yourself using Google), this, together with the predecessor K10000, is the only smartphone ever released with a 10000mAh battery.
Of course this isn't a device for everyone, you need to deal with the weight and the thickness, but if you choose to go for something like this, i am pretty sure you know what you are going to get.
In my opinion, compared to the K10000, lots of upgrades have been made to the device, with a better CPU/GPU, more RAM/ROM and a FHD screen. This is not a Camera Phone, but the Rear Camera sensor is reasonably decent, the hopefully it will be kept updated in the future with new Android Versions.
If with the next model OUKITEL chooses to introduce a Notification LED and a Compass/Gyroscope, i will be able to declare it a perfect smartphone.
Pros:
Outstanding Battery Life
Clean Android OS with latest security patches
Huge amount of included accessories
Cons:
No Notification LED
No Magnetometer/Gyroscope Support
Some issues with 4G Connection Speed

Hello,
I have a problem with the Oukitel K10000 Pro in France.
I have to change mobile operator to confirm my hypothesis. I went from the operator Free Mobile to Bouygues Telecom to do different and enormous test.
This telephony only works on 1800 MHz frequency. If you do not pick up a relay antenna with a frequency of 1800 MHz (LTE) then the phone does not work.
In big cities the mobile connects and disconnects each time it passes on an antenna relay 1800 Mhz or not. So more network the majority of the time and more network as soon as one leaves the big cities and that is not covered by the frequency 1800 Mhz. For information, this phone works very well in 4G (only the frequency 4G LTE works) 200 meters from my home. Covered by an antenna (and checked with Bouygues customer service)
Either it is false advertising, or there is a manufacturing defect because we find other cases on the net. Note that I am very satisfied with the old model K10000 that has been working properly for a year.
Very disappointed with this new model which nevertheless displays the same network characteristics.

Review (part 1)
Introduction
This is the OUKITEL K8000.
Hardware
Part of the K-series of battery phones released by OUKITEL, this K8000 is a whole new model, not a successor to another device released in the past, coming with a 5.5" HD AMOLED screen, the first time ever for OUKITEL, and an huge 8000mAh battery. All other specs are pretty standard, Mediatek MT6750T, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of Storage.
Unboxing
Almost identical to the K5000 package, this K8000 comes with the usual rich pack of accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x Pump Express (up to 9V) USB Charger, 1x User Manual, 1x SIM Card Removal Tool, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x OTG Cable, 1x TPU Cover and the Smartphone (of course). A screen protector is already applied.
It's been a long while since the last time OUKITEL released a full-body metal chassis for a device. The last one that featured it was the unlucky U15s. As a result of this choice, the device feels really solid, probably one the best one i have ever reviewed, and the build quality is decent with metal keys and no noticeable imperfections except some minor scratches on the antenna bands.
Due to the huge battery and metal chassis, this isn't a device that can be considered compact neither light. It is 15.5x7.62x1.10cm with a weight of 236g, not the heaviest battery phone i have ever tested, but it isn't light either.
Starting from the front side, OUKITEL declares to be using a "Dragontrail" glass, and it is 2.5D curved on the borders. Underneath, there is the AMOLED panel; the upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light and Proximity Sensors. A Notification LED is here.
Here you can see the LED in action. It seems to be an RGB variant.
Just like most devices released in the past few months, also this one features a fingerprint scanner on the lower front side while keeping lots of empty unused space on the sides where hardware touch keys would have been fitted without any issue.
There isn't much to say about the back side since, as already mentioned before, it features an unibody metal body thus it is only one piece for everything, no plastic parts.
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor with a Dual-LED Single-Tone Flashlight on the right.
On the lower rear side there isn't anything important at all since the speaker is located on the bottom.
Device
Screen
I am not a big fan of AMOLEDs, even though my daily driver Mi Note 2 features an OLED screen, but the panel on this device doesn't look extremely saturated. Colors are rich, and there is no "gummy" effect meaning that it has been mounted properly and not inverted. Due to the HD-only resolution, it doesn't look really sharp.
No issues detected with the Light Sensor. The panel does seem to lack some brightness, maybe limited via software for power consumption. AMOLEDs are usually brighter.
Viewing Angles are perfect, as you would expect from an AMOLED panel.
Camera
This device comes with a OnSemi AR1335 13MP camera sensor for the back camera that provides some decent shots and an overall acceptable picture quality. Colors look slightly washed out though, as you can notice on some samples attached below. Considering the type of smartphone, it is pretty common for companies to not focus a lot on camera quality for battery phones.
As regards the Flashlight, it is pretty powerful but slightly out-of-sync. Hopefully this will be fixed with an OTA Update.
When it comes to Video Recording the situation gets a bit worse, since videos are recorded at 1080p15 with heavy stuttering and unstable framerate. This is a clear confirm that the camera software requires lot of work.
The front-camera sensor is an high-quality OmniVision OV8856 8MP camera sensor that offers some decent shots. As you can notice, its angle is so wide that it is hard to get something focused for testing.
Audio
This is another department where the K8000 lacks some quality. Starting from the Earpiece, it is decent but there is some distortion at maximum volume and no low frequencies at all. The Speaker instead lacks some volume, and the range of frequencies is limited just like on most devices.
Something that doesn't lack quality is the Microphone, since it provides a pretty clear sound and everyone was able to hear me properly.
GPS
GPS Quality is so and so, the antenna isn't able to provide a really strong signal thus the amount of satellites isn't really high. Accuracy is just fine though, even indoors.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
The device is meant to be used with European Networks (Band 20 included), just like most Chinese devices that are sold with EU Plug chargers. As regards the signal, i was not able to find any issue or lack of network connection, and the speed test run on 4G confirms it. The result is as good as it should be since that's the maximum i reach even with other devices.
Matching MT6750T tech. specs, it supports WiFi N 5GHz networks. Both signal and speed are excellent, able to use completely my internet bandwidth. An high quality antenna has been used.
Battery Life
Do not consider this battery capacity test as 100% accurate because the device never stopped charging even at 100%, keeping a really low load (0.09mA) from the charger. Based on this testing, the real battery capacity should be OK, matching the declared value.
Nothing to complain about the battery life. The PCMark Battery Test provided a result of 21h and 3m that, considering the power-hungry chipset (MT6750T), is as good as it should have been.
A 8000mAh battery can't be recharged so easily, and the Mediatek Pump Express charger (up to 9V) included with the device appears to be enough to provide some reasonable charging times, more or less 3 hours for a full charge.
Software
Thankfully, OUKITEL keeps using a clean OS for all new devices. It runs on Android 7.0 Nougat with the usual Mediatek old-style apps, and there is no bloatware excect a custom keyboard that can be easily disabled. It is a pity that it hasn't been released with Android 8 Oreo, but, considering OUKITEL's attitude, it is highly possible that it will be upgraded in the near future.
The only customization that i was able to find is a power-saving skin option in the battery tab, that simply replaces all white backgrounds for maximum power-saving, a must for AMOLED screens.
All Mediatek Goodies such as MiraVision, Gestures (double-tap to unlock included) and others are included.
Both Gyroscope and Magnetometer/Compass are present, thanks OUKITEL.
No malwares detected with Malware-Bytes Anti-Malware using latest definitions.
The fingerprint scanner used on this K8000 isn't the best i have ever tested, it lacks some accuracy for some reason. It is fast enough, but frequently not able to recognize my finger properly (as you can notice in the video). Looking forward to see some improvements with an OTA Update.

Review (part 2)
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0), V1 - GPU Benchmark Pro and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.
3DMark – Just like all MT6750T devices, the Mali-T860MP2 GPU isn't super-powerful for heavy games.
AndroBench – Excellent I/O Performance, an high-quality eMMC has been used.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
GeekBench – Matching other MT6750T devices, CPU performance is decent for daily tasks.

Compute
GFXBench – Hardcore Benchmark on a low-end GPU = disaster. Can't expect more for a Mali-T860MP2
PCMark – Decent Scores, nothing to complain about.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
V1 - GPU Benchmark Pro – Since there is no Snapdragon 6xx preset, i thought the 410 one was the one near enough to our chipset. Apparently, i was wrong.
Vellamo – As expected, Multi-Core performance is good.
Conclusions
In my opinion, this is probably the most complete OUKITEL smartphone ever released. Why? For many reasons:
1) Notification LED
2) Unibody Metal Chassis
3) Gyroscope & Compass
No other OUKITEL device released in the past ever managed to get all points, and i really appreciate it. Still, it lacks something i would expect on ALL new devices: USB Type-C! It's 2018, everyone should go for it from now on.
So, do i recommend it? It depends on your requirements. If you are looking for an AMOLED battery phone, then yes. It can only get better with some OTA updates.
Pros:
Superb Battery Life
Excellent Build Quality
AMOLED Screen (may be part of the cons for someone)
Notification LED
Gyroscope & Magnetometer/Compass
Cons:
The camera software require some optimizations
No USB Type-C connector
Mediocre GPS Antenna
Mediocre Earpiece/Speaker Quality

Review up and running!

great device..... of course mediatek is not the best soc for a battery phone ( sd625 is way better) but i COULD accept it.....
the bad thing that is UNacceptable is the use of a 720p panel!! amoled is a GREAT FEATURE, real blacks, less battery use ok ok..... but in 2018 no one can look at a phone on 720p be serious oukitel!!!
outsource another oled panel and i can buy it... ok to save on soc, but to save on the VISION quality no...... 1080p is THE resolution.
@Alberto96 are you sure that it is UNE BIG 8000mah battery instead of 2x 4000mah on parallelized? i notice that some produced .. to go over 6000/7000mah do use the parallelization of TWO batteries, the same oukitel on k10000 serie and k10 serie uses 2x batteries inside (4example doogee BL12000 ues 2x 5000mah batteries but they sell it as 12000 and there are some YT videos that show this scam....)

Yeah i agree with you about the low-res screen, weird choices sometimes.
About the battery, i don't know whether it is a single 8000mAh cell or 2x 4000mAh cells, but at least i can confirm that the capacity is correct so i don't mind about how they managed to get that capacity.

it is odd that you tested 8000mah on 5v port because it's known that the mah of a battery is rated at the medium voltage of 3.7 or 3.8v ..in fact power banks of 10k mah declare values of about 6200..7000mah on 5v .... it is clearly written on the xiaomi power banks 4example.
Anyhow i suppose this k8000 is at the moment one of the smartphone with the highest battery life, such as the lenovo p2, mi max 2, oukitel k10 (11kmah)..... but i am curios to know if it's better an amoled with 8000mah (k8000) or an ips with 11k mah (k10)

Don't worry about the testing methodology, i have been following this way for months (also, i'm not the only one) and i can confirm that it is reliable enough.

I have bought the k8000. Before I had a samsung s6 with 2k screen. I dont miss it! 720p is fully sufficient for anything except VR. You really cant see the difference unless your nose is 5cm from the screen.

I can not find a way to root the k8000. Does anybode have a hint for me, which programm/apk is able to root this device?

K8000 software
Software OUKITEL_K8000_V13_20171027 is uploaded on their web page.

Thanks to Alberto96 for the great review! ?
I just got this device, and I really like it so far! It is a decent effort for the price range, the build quality seems fairly good. Obviously the battery life is this phone's selling point - it is impressive, and fast charge with the supplied charger is working very well indeed.
Re comments on the display: the resolution decision seems to me to have had the aim of extending battery life. My previous device was the Ulefone Power 2, and for just an extra 2000mAh in the battery the difference is quite noticeable. There are a few power-saving features built in to the OS, too. It seems this device is well optimised for battery life from both a hardware and software perspective. I find the display perfectly adequate. With AMOLED it has nice deep blacks, looks crisp and is power-efficient.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone else who has this phone and their thoughts so far. I know these Mediatek devices tend to be less popular on here, but it would be nice if we could get a little community together! ?

Review (part 1)
Introduction
This is the OUKITEL K6.
Hardware
Coming as the first Helio P23 device ever released on the market (correct me if i am wrong), this new K6 should be the successor to the K6000 Plus. It could be easily considered as the second flagship, together with the MIX 2, from OUKITEL since the specs are not bad at all. It comes with 6GB of RAM, 64GB of ROM an
d an huge 6300mAh battery.
Unboxing
Unlike the K8000 reviewed before, this K6 comes with a whole new packaging that also looks more premium, even inside. The amount of included accessories is still the same: 1x Type-C USB Cable, 1x 5V/3A USB Charger (not sure whether this is a Pump Express charger or not), 1x User Manual, 1x SIM Card Removal Tool, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x OTG Cable, 1x TPU Cover and the Smartphone (of course). A screen protector is already applied.
The K6 doesn't feature anymore a full-metal chassis found on the K6000, but they choose to go with a plastic back cover (not-removable) instead. That's a pity because it is something that makes a device more premium. Anyway, the plastic cover doesn't seem to affects its solidity too much, even though i can notice some minor imperfections where the plastic touches the metal body. Also, i will never understand the need to remove the 3.5mm Headphone Jack on thick devices. There are just no valid reasons that would justify this, and i am not the only one to think the same.
As a battery phone with a 5.99" 18:9 screen and 6300mAh of battery, it is almost obvious to not expect a compact device. It is 15.8x7.61x1.08cm with a weight of 263g, really heavy considering the size. I don't understand why it is so heavy considering the plastic back cover.
This is probably one of the most complete devices i have ever reviewed, since it includes both Front Flashlight and Notification LED (RGB) on the upper front side while still keeping the reasonably thin bezel. Of course there is also a Front Camera, the Earpiece and Light/Proximity sensors.
Nothing to complain about the Notification LED, it is really bright and RGB.
On the lower front side there isn't anything at all.
As regards the back side, it features, as already said, a plastic non-removable cover with a nice-looking light effect. Still, it is plastic so expect to scratch it easily. I may recommend to use a screen protector also on the back in order to not ruin the effect.
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor with a Dual-LED - Single-Tone Flashlight on the left, and a Fingerprint Scanner just below.
Just like most latest devices, there isn't anything important except the OUKITEL logo on the lower back side.
Device
Screen
Compared to the MIX 2 5.99" 18:9 screen, the one used on the K6 is, in my opinion, not as good as i would have expected. Colors look slightly washed out even after some calibration using MiraVision, and i can notice a minor smearing effect while scrolling menus. It seems to be a common issue for this kind of rounded screens, since i found a similar issue on another device reviewed some weeks ago, so it might be a software issue or just a limit of this first gen of panels. Hopefully in the future this will only get better.
Nothing to complain about the light sensor, and the screen brightness is high enough for a sufficient visibility under direct sunlight.
The rounded corners do not seem to affect viewing angles at all, as good as they should be on a IPS panel.
Camera
Identical to the MIX 2, this K6 features a Samsung 16MP rear camera sensor that, together with the new Helio P23 ISP (Image Signal Processor), does seem to provide some great shots. HDR works decently, and the amount of image noise is not too high, as long as the available light is high enough of course. An overall good result.
Also the Flashlight seems to work properly, no out-of-sync issues neither lack of light. Powerful enough, maybe a dual-tone variant would have been better.
Excellent results as regards the Camcorder. Videos are recorded in 1080p30 with a really stable framerate, no stuttering and high image quality. Currently the best Mediatek device ever tested in this area.
The front-camera sensor is, unfortunately, unknown (was not able to obtain the codename) but it should be an 8MP camera sensor interpolated to 13MP. Thanks to the Flashlight, it is possible to obtain some pretty decent shots even in low-light conditions. Pretty average quality.
Audio
It is pretty common for most smartphone to not feature a really powerful speaker, especially with latest models where, due to the bezels reduction, the space for a big chamber is slowly decreasing. This K6 is not exception. It doesn't feature a really loud speaker unit, but the sound is clean and there is a minor amount of low frequencies.
Unfortunately though, just like on the MIX 2, the Earpiece seem to produce a slightly distorted sound at highest volume. This is where the lack of a proper sound chamber is noticeable. Anyway, it is loud enough.
Nothing to complain about the Microphone, it is properly calibrated, and the lack of a secondary microphone does not seem to affect much the quality. Perfectly usable for calls and video recording.
GPS
Excellent results for the GPS. An high amount of satellites gets locked, even indoors.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
The device is meant to be used with European Networks (Band 20 included), just like most Chinese devices that are sold with EU Plug chargers. As regards the signal, i was not able to find any issue or lack of network connection, and the speed test run on 4G confirms it. Not a bad result.
For some reason, Mediatek keeps providing a WiFi N-only card even for last-gen mid-range chipsets, thus there is no WiFi AC support on this device. Still, 5GHz WiFi N networks are perfectly working. Connected to my home network, the device is able to use my internet bandwidth completely.
Battery Life
Starting from the Battery Capacity, i was not able to confirm the 6300mAh battery capacity declared by OUKITEL, instead i get a result of ~6090mAh. They declare a minimum of 6000mAh, but a typical of 6300mAh is definitely unrealistic considering it (it is usually ~100mAh higher from the min, not that much).
Battery Life is just outstanding compared to the previous gen Helio P20/25. The PCMark Battery Life test provided a result of 22 hours and 5 minutes, able to last at least two days of heavy usage (or one if you don't sleep...just kidding). Test run at minimum brightness, with WiFi on and Sync on.
OUKITEL seem to be really proud of the choice to use a 5V/3A charger (Pump Express 3?) for this device. They are not alone, OnePlus also uses a 5V charger with even higher current. Based on some testing made by external websites, this reduces the device temperature while keeping the charging speed high. Is it really making a difference compared to a standard up to 12V quick charger? Well, i was not able to notice that much difference as regards the charging speed, but the device felt noticeable cooler to the touch.
Software
Different from previous devices reviewed in the past, this is the first one that comes with Android 7.1 instead of 7.0, probably due to the newer BSP provided by Mediatek for the Helio P23. Unfortunately it isn't Android 8.0 Oreo, but i guess it will be updated really soon.
The OS is clean, there is no bloatware pre-installed excluding a third-party keyboard that can be disabled, and it runs pretty smooth with no lags neither slow-downs.
Something even more interesting about this K6 is the NFC Antenna. As far as i know, this is the first time OUKITEL implements this feature, so well done for this choice. Unfortunately i can't test Android Pay here in Italy so...i need your user feedback about its compatibility.
All Mediatek Goodies such as MiraVision, Gestures (double-tap to unlock included) and others are included.
An extra feature has been included with this model: Face ID/Face Unlock. How does it work? It just uses the front facing camera to recognize your face, do not rely on it if you care about your device's security. Period (also clearly written in the warning).
Both Gyroscope and Magnetometer/Compass are present.
No malwares detected with Malware-Bytes Anti-Malware using latest definitions.
As regards the Fingerprint Scanner, it is really accurate, but slightly slow. Personally, i prefer accuracy more than speed, but if an OTA Update will be able to speed-up the reading process, it would be even better.

Review (part 2)
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0), V1 - GPU Benchmark Pro and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.
3DMark – Even though this Helio P23 comes with a new-gen Mali-G71 GPU, it is less powerful compared to the one found on the Helio P25. Not a bad result, but pretty average.
AndroBench – No words about this result, it is just outstanding for an eMMC 5.1.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
GeekBench – For some reasons, it fails to get an internet connection. To know more: http://support.primatelabs.com/discussions/geekbench/23518-not-internet-connection-detected
GFXBench – This benchmark is just too much for not high-end devices.
PCMark – Somehow this benchmark gets higher results compared to the Helio P25. As i always say, software optimizations are more important compared to raw performance, and this is the proof.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
V1 - GPU Benchmark Pro – Using the Snapdragon 820 preset, 3D performance seem to be a bit low for really heavy games. Consider to reduce graphics quality for a smoother experience.
Vellamo – Overall good results considering the CPU, somewhere in between the MT6750T and the Helio P25.
Conclusions
Being the first devices ever released by OUKITEL with such high specs, together with the MIX 2, i am not so surprised to see that some areas are not as good as they should have been. They always focused on battery life more than performance, and this new strategy can only help them to get better and better, device after device.
This is an overall good device, i like the thin bezels and also the new Helio P23 that seems to be way more power efficient compared to previous alternatives provided by Mediatek. Still, the lack of an headphone jack on such a thick device is really non-sense.
I recommend it to those looking for a battery phone that features almost everything, with no great requirements for gaming.
Pros:
Android 7.1 instead of the usual 7.0
NFC Support
Notification LED
Gyroscope & Magnetometer/Compass
Excellent Battery Life
Cons:
