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.

Leaked News:
LEAGOO M5 Plus Debuts – The New Face of Cheap Smartphones!
LEAGOO, the renowned budget-friendly smartphone manufacturer from the Chinese land, intends to conquer the low-tier category once again with the recent release of M5 younger sibling known as ‘LEAGOO M5 Plus’. Indeed, much have changed or upgraded apart from the addition of the word ‘Plus’.
Design & Appearance
Just like the M5, it has the nano molding technology chassis, made of exclusive metal for a low-tier under that price tag, with a brushed (IML) rear panel. On the front, they kept the soft-keys touch-based buttons.
On the rear, there is fingerprint reader together with the Dual Flash and the Camera at the top center. Similar to what has been leaked about the Huawei Mate 9.
Finally we know which kind of screen protection its being used (on the M5 it was unknown): Gorilla Glass 4 technology with 2.5D arc design. Probably the specs are higher than what to expect from a cheap low-end smartphone, it seems that LEAGOO made it the game changer.
Hardware & Display
The only weak point of this device is the SOC. It is powered by Quad-Core MediaTek MT6737 (running at 1.3GHz) CPU, supported by 2GB of RAM and an ARM Mali-T720 MP2 (running at 520MHz) GPU. This amount of RAM together with this GPU is fine for a low-end device, but it is something becoming really rare nowadays with the increasing Octa-Core trend by Mediatek. This SOC is energy efficient but with that type of hardware the M5 Plus only yields a score of 27,233 points on AnTuTu.
It also offers a storage of 16GB along with the option of expanding it via MicroSD slot. They left the fingerprint sensor on the back, that was working perfectly on the M5.
As regards the screen, it integrates a large IPS 5.5-inch screen with an HD display (1280×720 pixels). Even though it’s not Full-HD, the contrast ratio of 900:1 should make the details and the colors sharp enough on the screen.
Camera & Connectivity
The best upgrade from the M5 is the 13MP rear camera. LEAGOO has kept the sensor as a secret, but it should be a Sony variant, and interpolated from 8MP. On the front there is the typical 5MP shooter.
It features 4G connectivity with VoLTE, Bluetooth 4.0 with BLE support, Dedicated Hi-Fi Speakers for a good amount of bass and Dual SIM/Dual-Standby support.
OS & Battery
The M5 Plus runs on Android 6.0 based on Freeme OS 6.0, and as regards the battery, it’s removable and replaceable. The 2500mAh capacity seems to be a bit limited, but with a energy efficient processor, those amperes should be more than enough. As the SoC is outdated, there is no fast charging support.
Availability
For Readers who are interested in buying LEAGOO M5 Plus, the terminal will be available in three colors: Champagne Gold, Titanium Grey and Galaxy White.

Review (part 1)
Introduction
This is the LEAGOO M5 Plus.
Hardware
This device is powered by a Mediatek MT6737M SOC clocked at 1.25GHz, a new CPU from Mediatek that is basically an MT6735 with a new Modem that supports VoLTE, together with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM. It features a 13MP (interpolated) rear camera and a 5MP (interpolated) front camera.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with many accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/1A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x 3.5mm Headphones (not in-ear), 1x TPU Cover and the Smartphone (of course). A screen protector is already applied.
The device has the same chassis used in the M5 (not Plus), just bigger. It is pretty well-built, feels solid and has some plastic bands for the antenna. Even though the Chassis is made of the metal, this isn't a full-metal device. (no unibody)
It is 15.17x7.64x0.96cm, not extremely compact, with pretty thin bezels. It weights 209g, decent for a device with a metal chassis.
On the front side there is the usual 2.5D Curved Display 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. No Notification LED is here.
On the lower front side there is the Touch Keys area, with Menu, Home and Back touch buttons.
On the back side there is the removable back cover, identical to the one found on the M5 (not Plus).
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor supported by a single rounded Flashlight, and the compact, rounded, Fingerprint Scanner.
On the lower rear side there is just the Speaker Hole.
Device
Screen
The screen is a bit dark, seems to be extremely calibrated to get natural colors (even though there is MiraVision), and the brightness is low.
Light Sensor supports smooth light changes, this is its maximum brightness. Under direct sunlight i had some difficulties.
Viewing Angles are good, just like on all IPS screens, but its low brightness issue makes it a bit darker on the sides.
Camera
Compared to the M5 that had issues with the Camera Software, there are huge improvements on the M5 Plus. Rear Camera takes some great photos with no major noise issues, even on low-light conditions. Daylight photos are detailed and sharp.
"HDR off" on the left and "HDR on" on the right.
Photos taken on medium light conditions are pretty sharp too, i would not have expected such a good camera quality from this device.
Flashlight is powerful enough, sufficient to improve low-light photos but do not expect superb light. (do not compare it with Dual-LED configs)
As regards Video Recording, 720p videos are recorded with a decent level of details, just remember that there is no OIS so you can’t expect stable videos.
Front Camera records noisy pictures and isn't a Wide-Angle variant, sufficient for some occasional usage.
Audio
Just like on the M5, the Speaker is extremely loud. Even if it lacks low frequencies (unfortunately this is a common negative aspect), its sound is pretty good.
As regards the Microphone, it works decently well in any case (in-call, VOIP, etc...), and the earpiece is loud enough to be used in any condition.
GPS
This is probably what has been downgraded compared to the M5 (not Plus), its signal is lower than usual and i wasn't able to use it indoors.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
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 sufficient, it highly depends on your Mobile Operator and mine isn’t pretty good. While 3G Network Speed is a bit lower than usual.
WiFi 5GHz is supported here. The first low-cost device with WiFi 5GHz support, even if the signal is low, it is still better than nothing. Well Done LEAGOO!
Battery Life
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and it seems that the real battery capacity is a bit lower than the declared one. (declared 2500mAh, real ~2400mAh).
This is the Geekbench Battery Test, the battery runtime is decent for a 2500mAh battery, even though it is lower than its little brother (M5) but Battery Score is higher, it means that it has been calibrated in a better way.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/390638
As regards battery charging times, the 5V/1A charger is enough for a normal charging runtime, but you can't expect super-fast times.
Software
Just like on the M5, LEAGOO choose to use FreemeOS, a customized version of Android 6.0 that provides some nice features. If you don't like any those features, most of them can be disabled or replaced with third-party launchers such as Nova Launcher.
As already said before, the MT6737M is a newer MT6735 with VoLTE support. Here you can see the Enhanced 4G LTE Mode option.
There is no Gyroscope or Magnetometer, but for a low-cost device this is acceptable.
As regards the Fingerprint Scanner management, it is pretty easy to configure, pretty fast unlock times with almost no issues with its accuracy.

Review (part 2)
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 3, 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 isn't superb, lower than MT6735, i don't know why every MT6737 device has this Graphics Performance issue.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is great for a low-cost device.
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.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – As already said, GPU performance is lower than MT6735 so it clearly confirms that Mediatek broke something in this SOC.
PCMark – Sufficient Performance, nothing to complain about it.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Just like other MT6737 devices, you can't expect high scores here.
Well compared to the M5 (not Plus), there are some nice performance improvements, especially as regards the Internal Storage.
Conclusions
Following the M5 design, but not its defects, the M5 Plus is a nice upgrade (except the GPS). Improved Camera together with Improved Performance might make this device one of the best low-cost 5.5" available. Just a little alert, the pre-installed YouTube app can't be updated, LEAGOO has been already informed about it and an OTA update will be released to fix it so don't worry if you try to update it with no luck, just wait a bit until the OTA update gets released.
So, do I recommend it? If you are not able to find something better at the same price, yes.
Pros:
Great Rear Camera
Accurate Fingerprint Sensor
Fast eMMC Internal Storage
Solid Metal Chassis
WiFi 5GHz Support
Cons:
Low Screen Brightness
GPS signal could have been better
Noisy Front Camera
No Notification LED

What's the rear camera field of view like? I was disappointing with the 63 x 49 degree field of view of the M5. I used the "Camera Info" app to get all the info supported by the driver.

I'm not a professional photographer so i don't know how to reply you about your question, but do not trust Camera Information on Mediatek Devices, every single value doesn't match real sensor capabilities.

The model is going to be named Oukitel U16 Max and will be powered by an unknown octa-core processor and Android 7.0 Nougat as the OS.
But back to the display, it will have HD resolution with 5-point multitouch and being manufactured by Japan Display Inc. (JDI) should guarantee some level of quality. The screen will adopt LTPS technology and feature 2.5D polishing. So in short the display should be pretty good and with such big screen it’s one of the most important things to see.

Oukitel officials expect that U16 Max could make an appearance in exclusive Aliexpress presale event in March as a part of the Aliexpress Anniversary celebration. It should be available with some pretty hefty discount and probably some extra bonuses on top

Oukitel U16 Max. There are not many details leaked now. As of now we know, the new Oukitel U16 Max is going to have a 6.0-inch display Android 7.0 Nougat OS and an Octa-core processor.

It’s not going to be a dual camera device so we have to settle for 13 Mpix rear camera with Micron AR1335 sensor and 5 Mpix front camera with OV GC5005 sensor. No software interpolation for either of them so a small plus for that. It’s worth noting that the camera lens doesn’t have the plain black paint, but micron-grade double axis lines printed using the latest LightScribe technology.
The fingerprint scanner will be on the back of the device and will have some customizable options including audio or video playback control, taking calls or launching a specified app directly.

The rear camera on the Oukitel U16 Max will be 13MP and is listed as a Micron AR1335. The front-facing camera is a 5MP sensor in the OV CG5005 which is also a “straight” shooter with no interpolation. The company also mentioned LightScribe tech on the rear lens as well. While we knew it would have a fingerprint scanner that detail has been confirmed along with an aluminium metal shell with CNC milling.
Oukitel U16 Max Specifications
6-inch JDI display HD 1280 x 720
MediaTek MT6753 processor
13MP rear camera
5MP front-facing camera
Fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G LTE
4,000mAh battery
Android 7.0

We still don’t know when the Oukitel U16 Max will arrive, but expect it to be affordable like many of the company’s other handsets. It will début in Gold although more colors could be added before prime time.

Have a look at the new features according to OUKITEL

As OUKITEL announced the full specs during MWC which was held last week, they are now releasing more details about the U16 Max. Here we have got the first hands on video for this 6 inches smartphone.
As we already knew, the OUKITEL U16 Max features a big screen with 6 inch 720p display which is 2.5D curved and processed with LTPS tech. While the battery cover applies aircraft aluminum alloy. The middle frame is also metal with complicated CNC craft to make it slimmer as well as comfortable to touch.
This video shows some features of Android Nougat (7.0) as well as customized features for more a interesting user experience.
Since the screen is big, the one hand mode and one hand float view will be appreciated as it offers some daily functions like screenshot, scanner, lock screen, screen record, gesture unlock and recent apps etc. It also offers dual desktop for choose, one with app drawer, one with all apps on main screen.
It also offers several kinds of unlock way, like fingerprint with password, fingerprint with pin, fingerprint with patterns, etc. The fingerprint is quite fast to unlock device, it also add other functions like use fingerprint to capture photo, to answer phone call, to play music etc. The Camera should be a 13MP made by Micron (AR1337 i guess) with no interpolation.​

OUKITEL U16 Max gets the final product video
As we already know, the U16 Max features a 6 inch HD JDI display with 2.5D curved screen and 3D arc designed battery cover. This is offering high permeability and bright vibrant screen. However, how long could such a big displayed smartphone last for daily usage?
The U16 Max carries the MediaTek MT6753 Octa-core chipset with 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM, and runs the Android 7.0 OS. Considering the hardware and software power consumption, will the 4000mAh battery provide enough power? The answer is YES.
Using SCUD battery with high density tech. this leads to a super thin 9.15mm body compared to other large battery smartphones. Theoretically, the 4000mAh battery of U16 Max is able to support:
Standby: 320hours (13days & 8hours) in lowest power consumption state.
2G talk: 25hours( in black screen)
MP3 music: 36 hours (speaker mode in black screen, highest volume)
FHD Video: 6.5hours (brightest screen state and highest volume)
Surf Internet: 6.5hours (mobile data mode, brightest screen state)

All the above data are theoretical; may differ according to local network and mobile phone state.
This U16 Max will start the Global First Launch from March 28th, and it is said to have the lowest price available between all devices featuring similar specs. OUKITEL will also start delivery at the same time when the first launch starts. More information will be launched on OUKITEL's official FB page.​

Already got Oukitel U16 Max, i will make unboxing video soon

Introduction
This is the OUKITEL U16 Max.
Hardware
This device is powered by a Mediatek MT6753 SOC clocked at 1.3GHz, the old CPU from Mediatek that seems to be still used by many manufacturers. It features 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM, together with a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. No Camera Interpolation is here, a great move from OUKITEL!
Unboxing
Packaging comes with basic accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/1.5A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x TPU Cover and the Smartphone (of course). A screen protector is already applied, but i recommend you to replace it. (low quality)
Just like most devices from OUKITEL, also this one has Metal Chassis that seems to be pretty well-built, and unlike previous models, this one features a nice design for the 3.5mm and USB ports, protecting the plug from any scratch.
It is 16.6x8.33x0.95cm, something expected considering the huge 6 inches screen. It weights 226g, again something expected.
On the front side there is the standard (well nowadays almost all devices have it) 2.5D Curved Display 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. A Notification LED is here, and seems to be RGB.
Here you can see the brightness of the Notification LED, one of the brightest i have ever found on a smartphone.
On the lower front side there is the soft-touch keys zone, with Recents, Home and Back buttons.
On the back side there is the Metal Back Cover (non-removable), with Plastic Bands on the upper and lower sides.
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor supported by a Dual-LED - Single-Tone Flashlight, and the fingerprint scanner.
On the lower rear side there isn't anything at all because the Speaker is positioned on the lower side of the device.
Device
Screen
Somehow OUKITEL choose to use an HD-only screen on this device, i do not like this choice due to the disappoiting pixel density and overall screen sharpness.
Light Sensor supports smooth light changes, this is its maximum brightness.
Viewing Angles are not the best compared to other devices i reviewed.
Camera
Similar to previous OUKITEL devices, also this one uses an OnSemi AR1335 13MP Rear Camera sensor that seems to provide a nice overall image quality. Something that i like about the implementation on this device is the absence of any kind of interpolation. The level of noise is a bit too high though.
"HDR off" on the left and "HDR on" on the right.
On Medium Light conditions the camera struggles to keep the noise level low.
Even though there is a Dual-LED Flashlight, it isn't as bright as you would expect.
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 GC5005 (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
GPS Quality is way better than most newer MT6737 devices i have reviewed, confirming that this MT6753 has one of the best GPS Chipsets you can find on a Mediatek device.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
OUKITEL provides full european bands support, with 4G Band 20 (some other Chinese Smartphones don’t have it). My 4G connection was working just fine, with decent speed and pretty stable signal.
WiFi 5GHz is supported here. Connected at 81mbps, i was able to reach ~38mbps, not the best WiFi speed considering that i was connected to my 5GHz Connection.
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 4000mAh, real ~4450mAh).
This is the PCMark Battery Test. Minimum Brightness, WiFi On, SIM Card Inserted and Active.
As regards battery charging times, the 5V/1.5A charger isn't enough to charge the device in less than 3 hours, so do not expect any Quick Charge here.
Software
Thankfully OUKITEL continues to use a clean Android OS release for their devices (excluding the U15s, a whole different negative story). There isn't just a clean OS, but there is Android 7.0 Nougat! The first device released by OUKITEL with Android 7.0 pre-installed. It works great, it is smooth and doesn't have any app that can't be disabled or might interfere with daily usage.
Standard Mediatek Features such as Gestures, Tap-to-Wake, etc... are still here. MiraVision is missing.
There is no Gyroscope or Magnetometer, just like all on all OUKITEL devices.
Thankfully there are no Malware pre-installed on this device, scanned using Malware-Bytes Anti-Malware.
As regards the Fingerprint Scanner management, this device has the best Fingerprint Scanner i have ever tried, even better than my daily LeEco Le 2. Well Done OUKITEL!

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 isn't superb, neither you can expect better results with this GPU.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is sufficient, Write Speed lower than average.
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 mediocre.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (8x Cortex-A53), enough to handle almost every type of activity.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – The same GPU lack of power is noticeable here.
PCMark – Standard MT6753 performance here.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Impressive Android Webview Performance, but everything else is just like other MT6753 devices.
Conclusions
Being the first phablet from OUKITEL it seems that they are on the right way to produce a real competitor that can beat other devices in the same price range. The device isn't perfect, the lack of power is noticeable but at least OUKITEL managed to provide a clean, and smooth, Android 7.0 Nougat experience.
So, do I recommend it? Well, it depends on your requirements. If you are in search of a gaming device, this isn't for you, but if you are in search of a multimedia device, with ultra-light gaming, then this might be a good choice.
Pros:
Good Build Quality
Impressive Fingerprint Sensor
Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box
RGB Notification LED
Huge Battery Capacity
Cons:
Low Screen Resolution for a 6 inches device
Speaker Quality could have been better
No Magnetometer/Gyroscope Support
Still running on the outdated MT6753

Just got this phone delivered yesterday and I'm currently in the setup stage. Initial impression is that it's a monster of a phone for it's price (bought it from Aliexpress for just over 103€).
One thing I noticed:
I know that it's sometimes just a number that they set in the specs but I can confirm that my 128gb Samsung Evo is recognized and seems to be working in this phone even though the specs say up to 32gb.

I ordered mine on the 30th. How long did it take to get yours my tracking just updated today.
N-Lite Nougat v4.1

Review (part 1)
Introduction
This is the UHANS i8.
Hardware
Just like all manufacturers, also UHANS joined the 18:9 party with the new flagship. This is what i would call a "soft-entrance", since it isn't maxed out as regards its specs but neither so banal. It comes with a 5.7" HD+ 18:9 screen, a Mediatek MT6750T chipset, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of Storage.
Unboxing
Finally, UHANS is back with the great accessories bundle, together with a premium looking packaging: 1x Type-C USB Cable, 1x 5V/2A USB Charger, 1x Quick Guide, 1x SIM Card Tray Removal Tool, 1x Type-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack, 1x TPU Case, 1x Glass Screen Protector (yes, it's back!) and the Smartphone (of course). A plastic screen protector is already applied.
The device features a metal chassis that feels really solid, even though the painting isn't perfect to be honest (as you can notice), and it appears to be following the Galaxy S-series design with an almost full-rounded chassis for more grip. Unfortunately they removed the headphone jack though, something that Samsung didn't... :urgh: :urgh:
Something i really appreciate is the placement of Volume Keys. Nowadays most devices feature both power and volume keys on the same side, probably to save costs, and i find the UHANS choice pretty smart.
As regards its size, it is pretty compact thanks to the 18:9 screen, one of the smallest 5.7" inches devices i have ever tried, 15.27x7.17x0.86cm, with a decent weight considering the metal chassis: 209g.
Starting from the front side, there is the today standard 2.5D Glass with the IPS panel underneath, while the upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing, an Earpiece and the Sensors hole that includes Light and Proximity Sensors. A Notification LED is here, but it only supports one color: green.
Here you can see the LED in action.
On the lower front side there isn't anything at all since on-screen navigation keys are used instead of hardware buttons.
The back side features a glossy plastic/glass (not sure about the material) surface with no fancy light effects found on most devices i have reviewed in the past few weeks. This looks elegant and sober imho.
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor with a Single-LED - Single-Tone Flashlight, and a Fingerprint Scanner just below it. The scanner features a glossy surface just like the whole back panel.
On the lower rear side there is the UHANS logo plus some certification logos, nothing really important. The speaker is located on the lower side of the device.
Device
Screen
Even though UHANS opted for an HD+ only screen, they seem to have choosen an high-quality one. Sure, you can notice some pixels if you place your eye really near to the panel, but that's something required for VR apps only. Color reproduction is really good, and the white balance appears to be decent too.
Nothing to complain about the Light Sensor either, and the screen brightness is excellent, reaching almost ~450lux. No issues at all while using it outdoors under direct sunlight.
Viewing Angles are as good as you would expect from an high-quality IPS panel.
Camera
Just like 99% of chinese devices released in the past few months, also this one features a Sony IMX135 (13MP) camera sensor for the Rear Camera. There must be a big clearance in China for this sensor considering the amount of devices featuring it...
Photos Quality is OK, decent quality considering the hardware. The noise level isn't high and colors look realistic enough. Probably the best results ever obtained with this sensor, excluding HDR photos.
Luckily the Flashlight is still powerful enough even though it is a Single-LED only variant. There is no weird tint caused by the light, neither reflections on the lens.
Videos are recorded at 1080p30 with an overall stable frame-rate and acceptable quality, not the best neither the worst.
Featuring an unknown Sony IMX190 (8MP? no datasheet available online) for the Front Camera, the device seem to struggle a bit with the noise level. It might be a software issue. Can't recommend it for selfies/portraits.
Audio
The speaker used for this device is pretty powerful and provides a minor amount of low frequencies at maximum volume, but a minor distortion is noticeable. In-call Quality is just fine, and the earpiece is loud but lacks low frequencies completely.
Something that is perfect, even though there is no second microphone for noise suppression, is the main microphone. It provides a crystal clear recording with no issues with the volume.
GPS
One of the most impressive parts about this device is the GPS, able to lock lots of satellites even indoors and with a really high accuracy. Well Done UHANS for using a proper antenna.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
Providing full european 4G bands support (including Band 20), the device was able to stay connected to my mobile operator's 4G network almost everywhere, with a not so high signal but excellent speed considering my 4G network connection in my room.
Even though the device supports 5.0GHz WiFi Connections, something is limiting the maximum speed. It is not able to use my internet bandwidth completely, some firmware improvements might still be required.
Battery Life
No doubts on the declared 3500mAhs of battery capacity.
As a double confirm, even the PCMark Battery Test provides a reasonably high result considering the power-hungry chipset, reaching 8 hours and 47 minutes. Not bad at all.
Thankfully UHANS choose to include a 5V/2A charger for this device. Sure, it isn't a Quick Charge variant, but at least it is able to recharge completely the device in more or less 2 hours.
Software
The device comes with the usual Mediatek variant of Android 7.0 Nougat with some old-style apps here and there, with November 2017 security patches and no bloatware at all except an annoying launcher that i do not trust too much (known to be infected in the past, can't confirm it now). It feels smooth, no lags noticed unless you run super heavy apps/benchmarks and the HD+ only resolution helps too.
I really hope to see an Android 8.0 Oreo upgrade for it though, or at least Android 7.1. I will ask UHANS for a confirm about this.
Most Mediatek "Goodies" such as MiraVision are there, but i wasn't able to find any gesture such as Double tap-to-wake and similar.
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).
Just like all UHANS devices, also this one doesn't feature a Magnetometer/Compass neither a Gyroscope. I hope to see at least one of them in the upcoming models.
No malwares detected with the Malware-Bytes Anti-Malware app using latest definitions.
The fingerprint scanner works decently with no accuracy issues and the unlock time is acceptable, not the fastest neither the slowest. Perfectly usable.

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 – MT6750T (Mali-T860MP2 GPU) + HD+ screen = pretty good 3D performance. Way higher compared to FHD alternatives.
AndroBench – Decent read speeds for the internal storage, but the same can't be said for the other. Not so balanced performance.
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 – Average CPU performance, matching most MT6750T devices i reviewed. Enough for basic daily tasks.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – The same thoughts written for the 3DMark benchmark are valid also for this one.
PCMark – Nothing to say about those results, pretty average. The same lack of storage performance is noticeable also here.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Somehow, the Chrome benchmark is providing a low score on all latest devices i have tested so do not consider it. Other scores are instead matching what a MT6750T is able to provide, balanced results.
V1 - GPU Benchmark Pro – Running on the Snapdragon 410 preset at Original resolution, the result is quite impressive considering the low-end ARM Mali-T860MP2 GPU.
Conclusions
I am really happy to see UHANS back with this great device considering the not so good experience with previous ones. I can classify this as the best UHANS device ever released.
Sure, there is some room for improvements, but the excellent screen quality and overall balanced quality-performance make it really enjoyable. Hopefully next models will follow the same positive trend.
So, do i recommend it? I would be mad to say no. Unless you really care about the headphone jack and you need both Compass/Gyroscope for games, i can recommend it with no doubts.
Pros:
Impressive Screen Quality
Solid Metal Chassis
Elegant and Sober Design
Clean OS with no bloatware
Decent Battery Life
Cons:
No Headphone Jack
Outdated Camera Hardware (but the quality is decent)
No Android 7.1/8.0 upgrade available yet
Lack of both Compass & Gyroscope sensors
Pricy (based on online prices) considering the specs

Uhans i8 Camera Review: Decent Camera at a Budget Price
Uhans i8 Camera Review: Decent Camera at a Budget Price​
Uhans i8 Camera Specs
Personally, my level of expectation wasn’t that high, considering it’s a Uhans device which has a reputation for offering great hardware but an average camera. However, that’s not the case with Uhans i8. It has a dual camera configuration 16 + 3MP (primary + in-depth). The primary rear is 16.0MP Sony IMX 135 Exmor RS sensor with CMOS, 0.23 inches sensor size, 1.127 micrometers pixel size, and f/2.0 aperture. The camera can capture the images on the 4160 x 3120 pixels and record the videos on the 1920 x 1080 pixels at the 30fps. It offers a better camera solution as compared to Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. I was intrigued to see how well the Uhans i8 can capture the shots. So here are the pictures I have classified in different situations:
Shot in Daylight
Its camera can capture excellent pictures in daylight. I got good detailed, sharp and high-resolution pictures with a default setting. In HDR Mode you need to keep you mobile still for 2-3 seconds for good result. Other features are working absolutely fine.
Shot in Low light
Uhans i8 rear camera comes with a dual LED flashlight. I want to tell you that Uhans i8 rear camera can capture some pretty awesome pictures in low light as well. The images are very clear, detailed, and color reproduction is absolutely accurate. There was a bit background noise at the corners, but it’s almost neglectable.
The Bokeh Effect
The secondary rear 3.0MP camera is used to achieve DSLR-level depth-of-field effects. The pixels might be low, but the primary camera helps to achieve a nice result. Check the sample pictures of the bokeh effect.
Selfie Camera
The Uhans added 8.0MP Sony IMX 190 Exmor with f/1.8 aperture. It can capture 2592 x1944 pixels image resolution and record 640×480 pixels video at 30fps. It’s a selfie phone because every selfie will get attention because of quality, face beauty, and flashlight. Plus, we have the beauty mode on it as well.
Video Recording
As for the video recording, the Uhans i8 both front and rear cameras are better than the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus camera. Thanks to the resolution of the video which is up to 4K.
Conclusion:
The Uhans i8 is packed with great cameras both on the front as well as the rear. As per my test, I’m impressed with quality of the pictures. I recommend you if you are looking for decent cameras and powerful combination of hardware with reasonable price.

perfect camera
awesome pictures captured by @samileo31

@superciarli faced the same issue, try to contact him to know how he solved the issue unless he replies directly to this message.

Bad news for all i8 users. UHANS is dead, the company has been closed, so do not expect any official software update in the future neither support via email.
