Water-Proof Test of the DOOGEE T5
DOOGEE T5 is the world’s first smartphone that combines the DIY style with 3-proofing. The Rugged Nature and Exchangeable Style, makes you have more choices basing on the environment's appearance and style.
They made a water-proof test (IP67 protection). If it resists, it means surviving in the harsh outdoor environment is not a problem.

IP67 Protection, what does it mean?
DOOGEE has labeled the T5 with IP67 Certification so to understand its level of water resistance we need to check what IP67 certification means. The certification system is administered by the International Electrotechnical Commission and can be broken down as follows:
IP stands for Ingress Protection
- The first digit is on a scale of 0 to 6 and represents the level of dust protection the device offers (higher numbers are better)
- The second digit is on a scale of 0 to 9 and represents the level of water protection the device offers (higher numbers are better)
Based on this scale (and according to the IEC), the DOOGEE T5 should offer full dust protection and water protection when submerged in up to 1 meter of water for a 30 minute duration.
Considering its Rugged design, i would expect even better protection from this smartphone, but is has been certified as IP67 so any other test that doesn't meet this spec. then it would be at your own risk.​

Also, for those who are interested, the DG700 (practically the device on which the T5 is based on) is now even more discounted than before (because its successor is near the door), but this is a limit offer until this weekend.
The DOOGEE T5 is kind of upgraded version of the DG700, which also combined the 3-proofing with the similar luxury appearance. The back cover has two choices, the crocodile texture calfskin and lambskin.
This is the DOOGEE DG700 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/doogee-titans-2-dg700-unboxing-hands-t2953664
If you can’t wait for the T5, you can buy a DG700 first because that's still a good device that shares many features.​

Giveaway from DOOGEE!

Time Limit: July 29 - August 14 (2016 of course)​

Finally it is Official!
The DOOGEE T5 will be launched on the 15th of August on DOOGEE's Official Website, where there will be a voting activity with the theme "The businessport phone, which style would you like?". Anyone can vote by choosing the Business T5 or the Sporty T5.
As a first round, it will be available on all official licensed stores, that can be found on the DOOGEE's website, then it will be also available on eBay & Amazon starting from mid-September.
Features:
Dual Style & IP67
The DOOGEE T5 is the world's first phone that combines dual appearance with IP67. It provides two appearances to be changed in seconds, and the relevant UI as well. Reaching IP67 rate, it means that it proofs water, dust and pressure.
13Mpix with PDAF, a Flagship Camera
Normal tri-proof phones do not perform well as regards photo quality, except the DOOGEE T5. 13Mpix Samsung Rear Camera with PDAF and 5Mpix Front Camera offer an outstanding shooting experience.
Comparison between DG700 & T5:
The DOOGEE T5 is a kind of upgraded version of the DG700. Compared to the quad-core CPU used in the DG700, the 8x 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 processors of the T5 highly increases the performance.
The DG700 has 5Mpix front camera and 8Mpix rear camera, while the T5 has 5Mpix front camera and 13Mpix rear camera with PDAF.
Compared with the 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM of the DG700, the T5 has 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM, and the 32GB ROM memory can be expanded up to 64GB. You can keep all your stuff.
Last, but not least, compared with the 4000mAh battery of the DG700, the T5 has 4500mAh battery and 5V/2A fast charge.

Yesterday price on Doogee T5 price reduced to 205$ in this store goo.gl/wtBzMn although the announced price was 230$.

Notification LED?!
Does this phone have a notification LED?
I've been asking in different forums and even the licensed reseller stores, I still don't have an answer! ... It's still a pre-order item.
I held off buying the Blackview BV6000 because of this issue, no notification LED, how can a manufacturer miss this small, yet purposely vital feature?!

I'll receive it next week so I'll let you know soon, but I think it doesn't have it. Check the DOOGEE video where they tested its waterproof capabilities, in the Settings menu (shown in this video) it should be shown if present.

I mean, check that video, they are showing you the Settings Menu after they take the device from Water (i remember that), so check if in that menu there is any kind of indication to the Notification Light or something similar. (unfortunately there isn't a specific menu name, MTK devices are a bit weird about this)
My reply wasn't too clear, but it wasn't neither so hard to understand...someone needs to calm down it seems...

Development & Support thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/doogee-t5-development-support-t3445982

Doogee released a video of production process for T5:
Probably the best spec of this T5 is the IP67 certification and shock proof integrated frame/case:

I got the device some days ago and yeah it is pretty good.
The chassis is pretty well made, Android works extremely smooth and I haven't faced any issue yet with it. Only the back cover management isn't perfect (if you change the cover/style, the UI theme gets automatically changed, but not always).
As usual, I'll provide you a review of the device soon.

Introduction
This is the businessport DOOGEE T5 Review.
Hardware
This device is powered by a Mediatek MT6753 SOC clocked at 1.3GHz, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM. It shares the same classic Rear Camera sensor used by the Redmi 3 Pro (13MP Samsung S5K3L8 with PDAF) while the Front Camera sensor is a 5MP OmniVision OV5648. The manufacturer of the Screen isn't known yet, but it is pretty good and super bright. Follow my next paragraphs to know more.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with an huge amount of accessories, including 2 different back covers and frames for Dual Appearance: 1x Plastic Screen Protector, 1x OTG Cable, 1x SIM/MicroSD tray Eject Tool, 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/2A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, and the Smartphone (of course).
As already said before, you will find 2 appearances in order to customize your Device's Style depending on the environment (or the tastes why not). I'll talk about this in one of the next paragraph.
The device has a Rugged Chassis, that mixes Metal, Plastic and Rubber for the best protection possible. Do not forget that this is IP67 Certified, so you can have fun with it without having to worry about its, and probably yours too, safety.
It feels super solid, the best made device i have ever tried as regards build quality. As certified by DOOGEE, and following IP67 protection, it is water-proof (up to 1 meter), dust-proof and pressure-proof. Let's say it, it is also kid-proof haha.
Being a rugged device you can't expect compact sizes, but it is lighter than another device i have tried some months ago that wasn't rugged (CUBOT H2), so DOOGEE did a great job as regards its build quality.
It is 15.37x7.84x1.37mm (using the Sporty Cover, because that's what i like most) and it weights 223g, again not too much considering that it is rugged.
On the front side there is the Standard Display, no 2.5D or anything similar, with big bezels. The upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece with a nice Silver Frame, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. No Notification LED is here unfortunately.
On the lower front side there is only the Soft Keys zone, with Menu, Home and Back buttons. As you might notice, on the upper & lower areas of the device there is a Glossy Finiture, that's the block where the ports are hidden just behind.
On the back side it's where the magic happens. Dual Back Covers, and everytime you change the back cover also the UI gets automatically changed. (basically an automatic theme switch)
The upper rear side of the device features the Samsung Camera Sensor supported by a Single (the Quick Start guide says Dual, but i can only see one) Rounded Flash (Single-Tone) configuration, and nothing else.
The lower rear side of the device features the huge speaker hole, that allows the huge internal speaker to output audio at maximum volume.
Device
DIY Instructions/Demostration (T5 Exclusive!)
So, if you are one of my followers you might have noticed this neverseen paragragh in this review. This device explains why. Being the only one that allows you to change between two styles, i thought that a demostration or anything else about it might be interesting for you all.
Starting from the Screwdriver required to handle the whole process, just imagine which type you need. Yes, a T5 Screwdriver haha.
Anyway, as regards the screws there are two used types, with different size. The longest type is used only with the Sporty sides, while the standard/shorter type is used with the Business sides.
My recommendation is to not use the Screwdriver provided in the package, because it isn't good and i managed to destroy it with just a few usages. This is the only negative aspect i have noticed about the kit.
Use your own Screwdriver, and it will provide you best results without having to worry about its safety.
As you might probably think, is it possible to mix the styles? My reply is: YES! This is what a did to my T5. Business Sides with Sporty Back Cover, providing best protection while leaving the sporty design.
If you want to know more info about this paragraph, just leave here a post and i will reply you.
Screen
The screen is pretty good, super bright but there is a small (barely noticeable) backlight bleeding on the left corner.
Light Sensor works pretty well and it supports smooth light changes. This is the maximum screen brightness.
Viewing Angles are perfect, comparable to an AMOLED screen. (excluding the IPS limitations)
Camera
Rear Camera is a pretty good Samsung ISOCELL, so it provides some nice quality photos on almost every condition. More photos (such as outdoor ones) coming soon, i have a cold right now...
Flashlight isn't perfect, but it is pretty powerful. As you can see, it is a just a bit under-positioned compared to the Camera Sensor. It might be an engineering sample issue maybe, i don't know.
As regards Video Recording, 1080p videos (Video Quality – Fine) are recorded with an high level of details, just remember that there is no OIS so you can’t expect stable videos.
Front Camera records decent photos, and it seems to be a wide-angle variant. Selfie-lovers will appreciate it.
Audio
Speaker is how nearly as good as you would expect from a rugged device. Decently-Loud! Well it lacks low-frequencies a bit, it is slightly muffled maybe due to its waterproof protection but its volume is high.
In-Call Quality is near-excellent, finally an earpiece where there isn't the usual low-clarity sound. Loud (maybe also a bit too much), and with good clarity.
As regards the Microphone, it works decently well in any case (in-call, VOIP, etc...).
The Audio Department has been accurately enough designed, so i thank DOOGEE for taking care about this.
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, even though some 3G frequencies are missing, maybe my engineering sample will get other frequencies with an update, who knows.
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 5GHz isn't supported here, so only 2.4GHz WiFi speed can be tested. I managed to get connected to my network connection at 65mbps, and Speed Tests reached more or less 41mbps.
Battery Life (do not rely on my test)
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and its capacity is a bit lower than declared. Declared 4500mAh, Real ~4310mAh. (190mAh missing, nothing serious).
The Geekbench Battery Test provided some nice results, and the software used on my device isn't 100% ready-to-use so will probably get even better with next updates.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/383660
Software
The Software is completely clean, with an almost complete Nexus-like experience. As all latest devices, it is running Android 6.0 Marshmallow with some minor customizations and some extra-apps installed such as "Bagan Keyboard", "Xender", "Documents to Go" and "Parallel Space". Don't worry though, they can be disabled.
As every DOOGEE device, also this one has the usual Settings App with Black Background. Also, following other Mediatek devices, Gestures are here.
The Theme Management is easy to use, just go to the Wallpaper Chooser and you will be redirected to the Themes app. Useful if you want to switch between the Business & Sporty UIs without having to worry about the installed back cover.
Also, there is a Magnetometer/Compass here, but lacks a Gyroscope & Barometer.
There isn't anything else special about the software. It runs super smooth thanks to its HD-Only display, always responsive and there are always more than 2 GB of Free RAM on idle.
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 is better than other MT6753 devices, but still low on OpenGL 3.0 & 3.1 tests. You can’t expect something better, this is still a mid-range GPU.
Other 3DMark tests can be found on my Imgur album linked at the bottom of the thread.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is good, especially as regards Reading Speed. Writing Speed isn’t as good as other devices though, maybe it requires a little software update, anyway still high enough to handle almost every task.
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 pretty high. 3D Games will run with no issues at all.
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.
PCMark – As you can see, only Writing score is a bit low compared to other scores. Pretty good.
Work
Storage
Even if this device is still running a not-so-new MT6753 CPU, it still performs well and the HD-Only screen helps the GPU to provide best performance everywhere. As i always say, with an MT6753 the HD-Only display works best.
Conclusions
DOOGEE did a great job with this device, probably the only Rugged device that doesn't have an ugly chassis or anything bad. Together with the DIY fun, it confirms that it is also a different device than others. It provides nice performance, great screen quality and a good camera creating a good combination of aspects.
I might have expected a better CPU, but it would have increased its price so it is good as is. Cheap enough, solid and fun.
So, do I recommend it? If you are searching for a Rugged Device, or for a different device that everyone can notice being unique, then Yes! Of course if you are searching for a slim or anything else, then this isn't for you.
Pros:
Super-Bright Screen
Solid and Well-Made
IP67 Certified
Compass/Magnetometer Sensor
DIY Style with 2 Appearances
Nice Camera Quality
Smooth and Lightweight Android OS
RUGGED!
Cons:
Flashlight is a bit under-positioned

DOOGEE T5 Lite - Lite version of the T5 is coming, at the official price of 100USD
All the features of T5 Lite are same of the T5 that DOOGEE launched on 15th August.
T5 and T5 lite allow users to enjoy DIY fun as their main feature on both device is the dual-appearance. One of the appearance features a crocodile textured back cover and the other one is a sporty PolyCarbonate back cover. Further more, their inner UI automatically changes while the outer shell are replaced.
Although T5 Lite will be sold at only 100USD (Official Price), half of the T5 Price, it still provides the cool and useful IP67 certification, which means that it can proof water, dust and pressure.
The main differences between the models are in the processor, memory and camera departments. The T5 Lite is Quad-Core (maybe MT6735?) with 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM, 5Mpix OmniVision front camera, 8Mpix SONY IMX219 rear camera. Everything else is exactly the same as on the T5.
So, for those for are not searching for such high performance of the T5, a cheaper Lite version will be great.​

it is 5.0 Inch,I like big screen, I like VKworld T1 Plus ，The 6-inch JDI LTPS display brings unlimited viewing experience, vivid color, wide viewing angle.

Leaked News:
OUKITEL is starting to work on a new smartphone named U20 Plus with dual camera design on back cover.
This is not the first device that designs two camera lens on the back. Other brands like Huawei, LG, HTC, Apple, Xiaomi already released some smartphones with dual rear cameras. OUKITEL is also joining this field to build dual rear cameras smartphones, but with most cost-effective price.
The model is named as U20 Plus, it will pack dual lens on the back, the main rear camera is powered by a 13.0MP (interpolated to 16MP) Sony IMX135 sensor. Combining superior hardware and optimized software with dual lenses, the U20 Plus will offer DSLR experience with more light and better clarity.
U20 Plus also offers the latest fingerprint sensor. Except for improving the unlock speed, OUKITEL will also pre-install more functionalities for fingerprint. It will divide long press fingerprint function and single tap fingerprint function.
A good camera ensures great photo and video quality, it would be more exciting if the display can show it in a perfect way. For showing the best effect, U20 Plus will get a 5.5 inch FHD display with 1080p resolution and adopting original SHARP glass for screen.
U20 Plus is planned to go to market at end of this month, and will be officially on www.oukitel.com next week.[/url]​

Last week OUKITEL stated that they are releasing a new smartphone named U20 Plus with dual rear camera. Here comes more information about this new promising smartphone.
The most important feature of this device is the camera. It will pack dual-lens on the back with the main camera processing imaging and the secondary camera recording the image data, providing SLR shooting experience. The most obvious photo effect is that it will highlight the theme and blur background.
The main rear camera is adopting an original Sony IMX135 sensor. Originally it was planned to do 13MP mega pixels and interpolated to 16MP in software, but according to research among consumers, it's better to not use interpolation (finally). So this time U20 Plus will feature real 13MP Sony IMX135 camera and 5MP front camera, no interpolation.
Big battery is surely important for batter enjoy the device. U20 Plus will get 3300mAh big battery from SCUD with intelligent power consumption management.
According to OUKITEL sales team, U20 Plus will be the most cost-effective dual-lens smartphone. Presale is starts from this week.
Authorized stores will be listed on OUKITEL official website www.oukitel.com.​
Below are main specs for U20 Plus:
Screen size: 5.5inch FHD, SHARP display 1920*1080, 2.5D curved, 5 points multi-touch
Network: dual SIM, dual standby, Micro sim+nano sim or Micro sim+TF

How to distinguish a real dual-lens camera and a fake dual-lens camera
Recently many brands like Huawei, LG, HTC, Apple, Xiaomi and others already released several smartphones with dual rear cameras. Other manufacturers are also following their steps to produce dual-lens cameras. The produced photo effect is surely great if you use a dual-lens camera because it can reach the levels of a SLR camera.
When we choose it, we need to be sure that it's a real one. But how do we distinguish it then? Here is the way.
Working principle: main camera processes the image, the secondary camera handles the image data. Frankly speaking, the main camera is for taking photos and secondary camera is for handling the photo effects like blur background, deduce noise, etc...
Difference between a real dual-lens camera and fake dual-lens:
a. Among Mediatek chipsets, only chipsets above MT6737T can support two cameras working at same time, so if the device has an MT6737 (not T) processor, then it can't support it.
b. The fastest way to judge: cover the secondary camera, the blur effect will disappear for a real dual-lens camera.
c. The dual lens will both open when working
All specs of U20 Plus have been added to the first post attached. More details can be found on OUKITEL official page.
Another great news is that U20 Plus already started wide pre-sale flash sale on OUKITEL Authorized Stores.​

Someone say that the U20 Plus design looks like iPhone 7 plus, but if you see it clearly, you will find that they are different.
See the first video about the appearance design of U20 Plus below. At first sight, it indeed has the iPhone style because both of them design the dual-lens camera on the top left and both of them getting rounded back cover.
U20 Plus gets 3 colors: grey, champagne gold, rose gold. According to OUKITEL product team, they will most probably make a Jet Black color that is the same as the iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black. But, it will come later compared to the first 3 colors.
As already said, it features a dual-lens rear camera, and the main camera is Sony IMX135 (13MP) sensor, here ( https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7cZ8nZJjxovaGUxY1dtT3VHQ3c?usp=sharing ) you can see several photos taken by U20 Plus. Notice the blurred background.
U20 Plus gets a 3300mAh big battery, but it is only 8.4mm for the body. Though the back cover is not metal, polycarbonated instead, the back cover should give you a wonderful hand feel.
U20 Plus is still on pre-sale for the moment, with flash sale. Authorized Stores can be found on OUKITEL Official website.​

OUKITEL said that the final software is confirmed and real photos taken by the U20 Plus are now available.
In the video, they took photos in outside, in a room and during the night. They also compared the photos taken in normal photo mode and SLR mode. At the end, they took a short video of an aquarium. YouTube Default Compression has been used so it might be a bit better in real-life.
As already said many times, the U20 Plus has a dual-lens rear camera, with a 13MP Sony IMX135 primary sensor while the secondary rear camera is only 0.3MP, required to adjust the SLR effect. It also features a 5.5 inches FHD display from SHARP.
OUKITEL said that the U20 Plus is on mass-production starting from this week, if there is no issues, next week they will start normal shipments. Consumers who already pre-ordered will get it soon. Also, the Pre-Sale flash sale is still running in some stores, but in limited quantity.​

OUKITEL has reworked the design of the U20 Plus smartphone, planning to add the popular Jet Black color version, which is the biggest change and totally different exterior color from all the old models.
Jet black back cover is glossy. The glossy surface is achieved by running the device through a complicated process required to achieve the stunning perfect glossy appearance and to produce a mirror-like effect. As far as we know, all the specs and features are the same with the other 3 colors variants.
The Jet Black color will go on pre-sale online by the end of this month. According to latest news from the OUKITEL's factory, they have already started producing champagne gold version on the 7th of December. Regarding the date for the other 2 colors, we will update it soon.
So, which one would you rather get? Jet Black, Gray, Rose Gold or Champagne Gold? Just post it here if you want.​

OUKITEL U20 Plus Vs. Xiaomi Mi5S Plus Vs. iPhone 7 Plus - specs comparison
As we known, OUKITEL U20 Plus, Xiaomi Mi5S Plus and iPhone 7 Plus, all are the new products in 2016 that used the double camera module for an high quality shoot. Regarding which one is the best choice, check out this specs comparison.
For those who are planning to buy a new smartphone for the new year (2017), just comparing the pricing, the OUKITEL U20 Plus will not burn a hole in your pocket. ​

Great device - just ordered the Gray version.

Mod Edit: Link to video containing selling links removed.
Here unboxing video from me.

Introduction
This is the OUKITEL U20 Plus.
Hardware
This device is powered by a Mediatek MT6737T SOC clocked at 1.44GHz, the Full-HD capable variant of the MT6737 (standard variant supports maximum HD), together with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM. Unlike any other previous OUKITEL device, this features a Dual-Camera configuration, made of a 13MP rear main camera and 0.3MP rear secondary camera. Nothing special for the front camera, just a classic 5MP camera.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with some accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/1A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x TPU Cover and the Smartphone (of course). A screen protector is already applied (mine was scratched so you won't see it here).
This is the second device i review from OUKITEL using an Unibody Plastic Chassis and it feels pretty solid (not superb, it is still plastic), much better compared to the U7 Plus (same type of chassis). Something i do not like at all is the position of Volume/Power Keys, they are on the left side of the device.
It is 15.39x7.75x0.85cm, as big as the U7 Plus, with medium bezels. As regards its weight, well it is heavy considering the type of chassis. 193g are a bit too much.
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. A Notification LED is here, but it only supports one color: green.
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 unibody chassis, just like the U7 Plus.
The upper rear side of the device features the Dual-Camera Sensors supported by a single rounded Flashlight, and the compact, rounded, Fingerprint Scanner.
On the lower rear side there is just the OUKITEL logo because the Speaker is placed near the Micro-USB port.
Device
Screen
The screen is great, probably the best Full HD screen i have ever tried on a OUKITEL device. Color Temperature is slightly high, but not too much, and everything else is just fine.
Light Sensor supports smooth light changes, this is its maximum brightness. Ok, this isn't the brightest screen you can find on a device, but it is bright enough for any kind of usage.
Viewing Angles are good, just like on all IPS screens, nothing to complain here.
Camera
First of all i am not a professional photographer so my photos might look a bit messy, i do not know how to handle this Dual Camera system properly.
Photos taken using the standard photo mode are good, the usual noise level is here, but every single photos looks pretty detailed. The old Sony IMX135 (13MP) sensor still works great.
"HDR off" on the left and "HDR on" on the right.
Here you can see some photos taken using the SLR feature, "Standard" on the left and "SLR" on the right.
Flashlight is powerful enough, but sometimes it seems to be a bit too warm making photos look a bit yellow, just like my glove here.
Macro Photos look great, detailed and with vibrant colors.
As regards Video Recording, the camera is able to record 1080p Videos at 30FPS, and the quality is decent. Check my sample here.
Front Camera is not great, but neither too bad (GalaxyCore GC5005). Sufficient for Video Chats. It seems to be a Wide-Angle variant though. Here you can see a cat-selfie.
Audio
Starting from the Speaker, its volume isn't super-high and lacks low frequencies. Unfortunately this is something common with OUKITEL devices. (except the C3 and C4)
As regards the Microphone, it works great in any case (in-call, VOIP, etc...), and the earpiece is loud and clear.
GPS
The GPS on this device confuses me. Ok, it was cloudy when i have tested it (check this photo) but it is weird to see that outdoors is able to lock many satellites (just like all OUKITEL devices), while indoors it isn't able to see any. I don't know how to evaluate this result.
Weather Photo
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).
4G Network Speed is sufficient, it highly depends on your Mobile Operator and mine isn’t pretty good.
WiFi 5GHz is supported here, and its speed mediocre. Something that impressed me is the ping, lower than my Desktop PC.
Battery Life
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and it seems that the real battery capacity is a bit higher than the declared one. (declared 3300mAh, real ~3350mAh).
This is the Geekbench Battery Test, somehow the battery runtime is low, definitely not acceptable for a 3300mAh battery. I assume this is a software issue, so i hope to see some improvements with an OTA Update.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/393303
As regards battery charging times, the 5V/1A charger is pretty slow to charge this big battery, almost 3 hours. I don't know why, but OUKITEL doesn't seem to like fast chargers.
Software
Just like almost all OUKITEL devices, also this one uses a clean Android 6.0 OS with some minor customizations. I know, it doesn't have Nougat, but OUKITEL has already planned the update so don't worry about it. Anyway, it runs smoother than other 2GB RAM devices i have tested, this MT6737T CPU is great.
MiraVision is here, together with other Mediatek Features such as Smart Gestures (double tap-to-wake, etc...)
There is no Gyroscope or Magnetometer even though the software doesn't think so.
As regards the Fingerprint Scanner management, it is pretty easy to configure, pretty fast unlock times with almost no issues with its accuracy.
As you may notice, the fingerprint settings menu is full of nice options. Interesting additions compared to previous OUKITEL devices.

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 is interesting, compared to the MT6737M it is an huge improvement.
AndroBench – Mediocre eMMC Performance, Write Speed is 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 – 3D Performance is a bit low, the Full HD screen isn't easy to handle.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (8x Cortex-A53), i would have expected an higher single core score.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – GPU Performance isn't superb as regards OpenGL 3 tests, but decent for OpenGL 2.
PCMark – Compared to the MT6737M, this is an huge upgrade.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – I might have expected some higher scores here, just sufficient.
Luckily this MT6737T CPU seems to be the real alternative for low-end devices, it isn't as laggy as MT6737M, and is able to handle almost everything without major issues.
Conclusions
Surprisingly balanced device from OUKITEL, i'm not saying that the Dual-Camera is useful or not, but the device itself, with a great display, snappy user experience and fast enough CPU/GPU, makes it balanced.
I consider this Dual-Camera feature an extra that is good to have (for those who like it), and it works great even though i still have to test other devices with the same feature so i can't tell you if it is working better or not than others.
So, do I recommend it? Currently it isn't possible to find any other device that is able to beat this for the same price, so the answer is pretty clear. Yes!
Pros:
Dual-Camera Design
Good Camera Quality
Great Screen Quality
Decent Fingerprint Sensor
Best CPU/GPU Price-Performance Ratio
Surprisingly Cheap
Cons:
Screen Brightness might have been better
GPS Signal is weird, great outdoors, poor indoors
Single-Color Notification LED
Battery Life lower than average
Heavy for a Plastic Unibody Chassis

Super easy to root as soon as someone creates a full-working TWRP recovery.
And you're welcome, if there is anything missing in the review just tell me.

Hello,
I have the phone for 10 days,
It is of good quality, I am happy to use it. I just had a problem on the front camera that no longer works. I think it's a software problem because the front works well and when I want to use the front camera I have a black screen. I would like to reinstall the firmware but for now I do not find it.
Thanks for your review

OUKITEL U20 Plus features a dual-lens rear camera and has been on sale for a while, now we have got a tear down video to see what's inside the body.

Hello,
Nobody knows when will be able to download the firmware ?

Here it is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/oukitel-u20-plus-development-support-t3539706

Thank you very much,
I will try to install it to repair the front camera
I keep you informed

Hi all,
Got mine a few hours ago from Gearbest, because I thought that at 90€ it was a decent price.
I then chose DHL delivery because for only 6.50€ I could have it from 1 to 7 days.
Big mistake, I didn't knew DHL was passing all the packages to the customs, taking 15€ too, so I had to pay 29€ in taxes in total at delivery...Which is way less interresting at 90+6.50+29=125.50€ :crying:
Anyway, here's my 1st impressions :
The thing is ****ing heavy for a plastic phone !
Good point is it has a silicon cover on it, bad point is it seems to have a very weak signal strenght, mostly the GPS signal :/
Charger is damn slow, it's written 1000mA on it, but I won't be surprised if it's only 800mA...
Last point from my tests : can anyone confirm that this phone can't do nothing in VR ? I tried VR games, Youtube 360 vids, nothing is moving when I move the phone
For now, i won't advise this phone, the only good thing is the screen to me (oh, I forgot : the protective film is shorter than the screen, which is pretty frustrating when you slide your finger from border to center of the 2.5D screen...).

Different sources state different things. But it seems this device doesn't have a gyroscope hence VR isn't possible (or at least not traditional VR). For clarification simply test which sensors your phone has by using Sensor Box for Android (or whichever sensor recognizing app you prefer): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.androidsensorbox&hl=en

Review (Part 1)
Introduction
UPDATE 20170125: I got the final retail unit (engineering sample before) so some parts of the review have been updated.
This is the UHANS U300.
Hardware
Powered by a Mediatek MT6750T SOC clocked at 1.5GHz, this is the fastest device ever released by UHANS, and it might be the best one ever released. You will know why soon. It features 4GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM and a 13MP Rear Camera, unfortunately interpolated to 16MP. Also, it is rated IP65.
Unboxing
Packaging here is weird. An huge package, that might look premium, but in reality it is almost empty. Basic accessories are included: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/2A USB Charger, 1x SIM Card Tray Eject Tool, 1x User Manual and the Smartphone (of course). A plastic screen protector is already applied, no glass screen protector included unlike previous UHANS devices.
Here you can see how big, and empty, the package is.
Talking about the Chassis, it is great. I like the design, as UHANS says this is Mercedes-Benz inspired device, and the build quality is higher than average. No imperfections noticed, unlike what happened with the engineering sample, and the device feels rocking solid.
In order to be IP65-compliant, every single port should be insulated, and here you can see the waterproof covers.
It is 15.40x7.99x1.17cm, one of the biggest 5.5" device you can find. It weights 228g, impressive considering the metal frame (be careful though, everything else is made of plastic) and 4750mAh of battery.
On the front side there is a Standard Flat Display (not 2.5D) and the upper front side of the device features the standard set of things with some extras: a Front-Facing Camera supported by a Single Flash LED, an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. Is the Notification LED here? Yes, it is, but supports only one color: green.
I won't talk about the Notification LED in the Software paragraph because it isn't customizable at all. Here you can see how it looks like.
On the lower front side there isn't anything at all, on-screen software keys are used.
On the back side there is the Leather Back Cover (not-removable), claimed to be "Real Italian Leather". I have tested the leather using a pretty simple method, a water-test. "Drop a small amount of water on the good, as real leather absorbs moisture.". Result? Nothing happens, so i can't confirm that this is real leather.
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 with a nice opaque black color.
On the lower rear side there is the UHANS logo together with the Speaker hole.
Device
Screen
Thankfully UHANS choose to use a good screen on this device, with nice colors, high brightness and good white balance. Nothing to complain about it.
Light Sensor does not support smooth light changes, struggling to get an accurate value indoors. This is its maximum brightness. Outdoors it provides a nice viewing experience.
Viewing Angles are as good as you would expect from an IPS screen.
Together with the good screen, there is also a good multitouch panel. 10-points supported here.
Camera
Even though UHANS choose to use a nice Panasonic MN34152 rear camera sensor (one of my favorites for Mediatek Devices), it doesn't work so great here. The Auto-Focus motor is noisy (a lot). Image Quality is decent though.
"HDR off" on the left and "HDR on" on the right. HDR photos are just brighter, no real HDR.
Macro Photos seems to be great, when you manage to get a proper focus on the object.
As regards the Flashlight, it is buggy (software not fully optimized yet), not synced with the shot and messes up the photos color accuracy, but surprisingly bright.
As regards Video Recording, 1080p videos are recorded at 30FPS, but as you may notice there is an issue with color accuracy. If you want to see the real colors, check my OUKITEL U20 Plus Camcorder Test, recorded in the same time together with the U300.
Front Camera is a Wide-Angle variant OmniVision OV5648. Again, color accuracy seems to be messed up. Even with the Flashlight (on the right), everything looks weird, with a noticeable pink spot on the left side of the photo. It makes my cat looking so bad.
Audio
Speaker's Quality on this device, unlike previous UHANS devices, is great, a good amount of low-frequencies is here (finally) and the Volume is high.
As regards the Microphone, it is good enough with no issues as regards its quality. Everyone was able to hear me correctly while in-call.
Earpiece quality is decent, slightly muffled, but i may know what causes this issue (or better, disadvantage), they are probably using a water filter on the earpiece for the IP65 certification.
GPS
The GPS Antenna is sufficient. Considering the Cloudy Sky during this test, i can't complain about the result.
Weather Photo
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
There is a small issue though, unlike the engineering sample, on the retail unit the signal is not 100% stable.
Battery Life
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and it seems that the real battery capacity just slightly lower than the declared one. (declared 4750mAh, real ~4650mAh).
This is the Geekbench Battery Test, i don't think it is necessary to say something about this test. It talks by itself. WiFi ON (connected), Mobile Data ON (disconnected), Medium Mobile Signal and Minimum Brightness.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/393328
As regards battery charging times, the 5V/2A charger isn't super-fast to charge this huge battery, but it is still better than just 1A. There is no Mediatek Pump Express support.
Software
Unlike previous UHANS devices, this time they choose to use 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 there is no Compass/Magnetometer neither Gyroscope sensors.
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 great with almost lightning fast unlock speed.
Just like on the OUKITEL U20 Plus (pretty similar software, interesting coincidence), there are many customizable fingerprint features.

Review (Part 2)
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 only used for minor tests.
UHANS 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, and seems to work great 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, and also higher than most other devices i have reviewed. Connected at 81MBps.
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 great, near to Helio P10.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is decent, high read speed and medium 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 – 3D performance is good enough to provide a smooth gaming experience.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (8x Cortex-A53), but somehow lower than MT6737T. Software Optimizations are required.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – Somehow all OpenGL scores are pretty low, again software optimizations are required.
PCMark – Nice Performance here, as already said near to Helio P10.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Unlike previous tests, here you can see the performance differences compared to an Helio P10.
As an average score, i can say that this MT6750 (especially the "T" version) CPU is an huge improvement compared to the previous MT6753, probably the best cheap CPU ever made by Mediatek.
Conclusions
This conclusions paragraph has been entirely rewritten, primarily because i managed to get a retail unit of the device instead of the damaged engineering sample. So, what to say about this device. First of all, the design is simply something unique. I like it a lot, and the build quality makes it almost perfect. Why i say almost? Because the device isn't completely made of Metal, only the frame is made of Titanium, everything else is made of plastic.
Unfortunately both cameras do not work as i might have expected, both engineering sample and retail unit shared the same loss of quality so well it is clear that you can't consider this a camera-phone, but it still provides some nice shots, just do not expect superb quality.
Everything else is OK, the software needs lot of optimization here and there, see the unstable GPS signal, but i am pretty sure that it will get better and better. Currently, it is already stable for daily usage (unless you use some Navigation Software, where you might get some issues).
So, do i recommend it? Yes, i admit that the price is high for this device though, so i might recommend you to get it when the price gets even lower.
Pros:
Great Quality Screen
Accurate Fingerprint Sensor
Titanium Frame
WiFi 5GHz Support
Impressive CPU/GPU Performance
Leather (real or not) Back Cover
Great Speaker Sound
Cons:
Both Cameras have some issues
No Mediatek Pump Express Support
No Magnetometer/Compass & Gyroscope Sensors
Single-Color Notification LED
Unstable GPS Signal

Well we are still talking about a Mediatek MT6750T, you can't expect superb performance, it is a good mid-range device though (excluding that its price isn't as low as it should be)

Most important for a development perspective : what about bootloader lock status ?
I wasn't able to find this on your review while it's one of the most important information.
The review is not complete.

99% of Mediatek Devices made by these not so well-known companies are not locked by default, so it isn't always worth mentioning it.
Also, a separated Development & Support thread will be opened with all extra info.

Thanks for the review. I have a question about the GPS. Can you navigate around in your car with this GPS?(I know you got a decent GPS lock) Just asking because Mediateks are usually less accurate

Well i am not sure about this because the Engineering Sample was working perfect while the Retail Unit had some difficulties in locking satellites, unstable.

An OTA Update has been released, 20170221.
Do not forget to update your device and i recommend you to wipe data/factory reset in order to avoid any possible issue.

Everything you may want to know about UHANS U300’s battery tests
For a battery, bigger size means more power. Then how big a 4750mAh battery is?
Based on the pictures, the battery measures around 81 * 63.3 mm, accounting for 42% of the device’s body (154.8 * 80 mm), which is quite impressive compared to the average percentage of around 30%.
However, data has always spoken better than pictures. UHANS’s engineer has made several tests to justify how a 4750mAh Li-polymer battery actually performs. Five Samples marked as A, B, C, D and E were taken for the sake of accuracy.
Test 1: Time required for a full charge under 5V/2A
Results:
l Shortest charging time-sample D: 4 hours and 30 minutes
l Time for full charging sample B and C: 5 hours and 22 minutes
l Time for full charging sample A and E: 4 hours and 49 minutes
The average time for full charge is 5 hours on average.
Test 2: On-screen time test(50% screen brightness)
Figures turned out that the power discharges in a stable rate and the battery last for 21 hours
even with the WIFI, Bluetooth, VPN, automatic light control switched on.
Test 3: On-screen time with video playing (50% screen brightness and 60% volume).
Video-watching is a quite power consuming activity, however, you can tell from the chart that UHANS U300 performs well in battery durability. Battery drains at a steady speed, and it will work continuously for 18 hours with WIFI, Bluetooth, VPN, automatic light control switched on and SIM installed on.
Test 4: On-screen time with music playing (60% volume)
With WIFI, Bluetooth, VPN turned on and earphone plugged in, U300 keeps on working for 86 hours while music continuously played.
After all these tests and measurements, it’s fair to say that the 4750mAh device will put you through for at least 2 days of regular usage.​

Dual Camera
I'm interested to see what the dual camera is like. I was disappointed with the M5's camera.

There are a few videos on YouTube. Not the best, but enough for you to get an idea of the performance.

That's pretty much what I was expecting.
What's the software like, basically the same as the M8 I gather? Please tell me Leagoo came to their senses and made the recents button a recents button and not a menu button?

Thanks... I have an FNF iFive Mini 4S and a Leagoo M8 so switching between them drives me mad. One day I'll learn to re-compile systemui.apk to fix this...

Introduction
NOTE: Most parts of this review have been taken from my M8 (not PRO) review since they are identical except for the Camera and Motherboard.
This is the LEAGOO M8 Pro.
Hardware
Named as PRO, this is the 4G variant of the good M8 (not PRO), with an MT6737 SOC instead of the outdated MT6580 which means that this device has 4G support. Everything else is exactly the same, with the same Main Rear Camera (8MP), 2GB of RAM (DDR3_1600 instead of DDR3_1066), 16GB of ROM, and so on.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with some accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/1A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x 3.5mm Earphones (not in-ear) and the Smartphone (of course). No TPU Cover is included, and a plastic screen protector is pre-applied.
Talking about the dimensions, this isn't the smallest device available, a real phablet in my opinion. It is 15.7x8.03x0.94cm, with medium bezels, and weights 221g, a bit heavy.
As already said, the design is the same found on Mx devices, a nice metal chassis, with not-so-rounded corners and solid build quality.
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 isn't anything at all, on-screen keys are used instead.
On the back side there is the removable back cover, that looks awesome in my opinion, even though it doesn't feel premium.
The upper rear side of the device features the slightly protruding Dual Camera Sensor supported by a Single-LED Flashlight, together with the fingerprint scanner.
Here you can see the M8 Pro together with the M8.
On the lower rear side there is the Model Name together with the usual large speaker hole.
Device
Screen
Screen Quality is great, especially considering that this is HD-only with low pixel density. I wasn't able to notice any pixel. I don't like the deafult color temperature though, MiraVision is here luckily.
The Light Sensor supports almost-smooth light changes, with a proper auto-brightness management. This is its maximum brightness. Excellent Brightness.
Viewing Angles matches IPS screen capabilities, with no major issues.
5-points multi-touch panel has been used here.
Camera
NOTE: Being the main camera sensor identical to the one found on the M8 (not PRO), here you will find the same photos. I have only tested the Blur Effect and the Flashlight (no more Dual-LED).
A nice amount of details is here, low-light shots are decent and the level of noise isn't really high.
"HDR off" on the left and "HDR on" on the right. No great improvements noticed between the two modes.
Macros are not great too, unlike Wide photos. Auto-Focus management needs to be improved.
Unfortunately the Flashlight has been downgraded, now Single-LED, and seems to be weaker, barely enough for low-light shots.
Here some photos taken using the Blur Effect. (or bokeh if you prefer)
As regards Video Recording, 720p videos are decent, with no serious stuttering or low-light framerate issues, but the resolution is lower compared to the M8 (not PRO), no more 1080p.
Front Camera records sufficient photos for video-chat and occasional shots. Also, it seems to be a Wide-Angle variant.
Audio
Luckily, the Speaker Quality doesn't any previous Mx device. It is much more powerful here, even though it still lacks low frequencies. It isn't the best i have ever tried, but it might be one of the loudest without distortion on maximum volume.
As regards the Microphone, it works decently well in any case (in-call, VOIP, etc...), and the earpiece is loud enough (not too much though) to be used in any condition.
GPS
Confirming my theory about the MT6737 devices, also this one doesn't have a good GPS signal reception. Mediatek messed up this SOC somehow.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
Finally a real upgrade compared to the M8 (not PRO), 4G Support is here thanks to the MT6737 SOC.
Signal Reception is accurate, with pretty standard 4G speed i got also on other devices. Remember that i test the 4G connection in the same position i test all other devices so this can be a good reference point to make comparisions.
WiFi 5GHz isn't supported here. With my 2.4GHz network, i was able to reach almost 30mbps, connected at 65mbps, just like on the M8 (not PRO), so i assume that the WiFi Antenna isn't so good.
Battery Life
As always, i have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and it seems that the real battery capacity is slightly lower compared to the declared value (declared 3500mAh, real ~3380mAh).
This is the PCMark Work 2.0 Battery Benchmark, as expected the battery runtime is lower compared to the M8. (more power required to handle 4G + faster CPU/GPU)
As regards battery charging times, the 5V/1A charger doesn't allow any fast charging. More than 3 hours are required to charge the device completely, a bit disappointing. Even with a faster charger you won't get any improvement, this is a software limit.
Software
Just like previous Mx devices, also this one is using FreemeOS 6.0 (based on Android 6.0) that provides some extra features to the OS without customizing lots of stuff. Basically you can get rid of almost all FreemeOS apps by using an alternative launcher.
All Mediatek features are still there such as Gestures, Scheduled Power On/Off, etc…
Even though the OS has been customized, it feels as smooth as others that haven't been customized.
This is a Malware-Bytes Scan, with a malware detected in the Dual-Tag app.
Fingerprint Scanner management is as easy as on all Android 6.0 devices. I admit that you won't find the best fingerprint scanner on this device, but it is still better than nothing, just do not expect lightning fast unlock times and perfect accuracy.

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 as low as all other MT6737 devices.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is decent, write speed lower than read speed. (as expected)
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 barely sufficient for smooth gaming.
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 low, and somehow lower than MT6735. (just like all MT6737 devices)
PCMark – Good Overall performance, the maximum obtainable from this SOC.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Being an super-heavy benchmark, you can clearly see why this device needs to be considered as low-end.
Conclusions
Following my M8 (not PRO) conclusions, i can confirm that this is still a great device considering the price target, and if you need 4G support with better overall performance, this is a device that needs to be considered.
Of course i'm not saying that this is perfect, there are some downgrades compared to the M8 (not PRO) such as the Weaker Flashlight, Lower Camcorder Resolution and Worse GPS Signal, but everything else is just fine.
Pros:
Impressive Price-Performance Ratio
5-points Touch Screen
Solid and Well-Built
Super-Bright Screen
Upgrade to Nougat coming soon
Cons:
No Notification LED and No Magnetometer/Gyroscope
Heavy
Weak Flashlight
WiFi Performance needs to be improved

Yes it can be disabled.
Thanks for the alert, I forgot to add a screenshot where I show this.

Hello,
Thank you for this superb test, I also wait for mine. I am very interested in removing the malware, I did not know the software to detect them.
Have a nice week end.

Did a quick search. Not looking good. Hopefully, someone will debloat the current rom or the Nougat beta rom (from needrom).

Hello,
I just received mine and actually found the same "virus". I have disabled the program but can I put my SIM card and use the phone without risk of sending my data? Sorry about these questions that may seem a bit simple to you.
Very nice device, one can remove the navigation buttons of the screen by "parameter smart / navigation bar / on" and it is really good for GPS programs.
GPS is OK even inside.
The bluethoo is OK.
The photos are good.
The battery was loaded yesterday at 100% around 10h00 and this morning 9h00 it is at 60%, the use since yesterday was the setting of the account, download by wifi, etc.
In comparison for the same use the Samsung note 2 is at 40%, the rating 3 at 40%, the UHANS A101 at 20%.
You have to buy a silicone protection because the back touches the camera (negative point).
A bit heavy but "solid" manufacturing.

Unless the app stays active even after being disabled, it is safe to use.
You lucky that your GPS works fine inside, mine doesn't.

Thank you for that answer.
Tests BUT I'm not a specialist.
I did tests and I think the antenna makes the difference.
For the gps, as for the wifi, reception is better when the phone is in "horizontal" landscape.
In WIFI:
In vertical position the LEAGOO M8 pro 1 scales, in horizontal position 3 scales.
In vertical position, samsung note 2 and 3 are on 3 scales, the UHANS A101 is at 1 or 2 scales. Horizontal for 3 phones, 1 scale upgrade.

i'm still waitinng for this phone from Gearbest.
How to root ?The same way as other MT6737 phones?
thank you

thank you nice job

Is TWRP available for this device yet?

Video review from me

Review (part 1)
Introduction
NOTE: This review has been almost completely unified with the K6 review since, basically, they are exactly the same device just with a different body and battery. Hardware-wise, everything is identical.
This is the OUKITEL K10.

}
Hardware
Just a little white after the K6 release, this big brother K10 can be defined as the K6's big brother, just with a massive 11000mAh battery, a 5V/5A ultra-fast charger (similar to OnePlus Dash Charge technology) and packed in a plastic body, probably to save on weight. Other specs are identical to the K6.
Unboxing
Following the K6 package, this K10 features a similar set of accessories: 1x Type-C USB 3.0 Cable, 1x 5V/5A USB Charger (new gen of Pump Express?), 1x Type-C to Headphone Jack Dongle, 1x User Manual, 1x SIM Card Removal Tool, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x Plastic Screen Protector, 1x OTG Cable, 1x TPU Cover and the Smartphone (of course). A screen protector is already applied.
As mentioned before, this K10 features a full-plastic body that, of course, doesn't provide the same solid feeling that a Metal chassis does, but it is well-made, no imperfections noticed and it is curved-enough for ergonomics. Something worth to be reported is the fact that it is really easy to leave some marks on the plastic, so i highly recommend to keep the TPU case even though it makes it even more bulky.
Unfortunately, the same design flaw about the USB connector is present on this K10 too, thus you need to use the included USB cable only to charge it properly, otherwise most other cables would not work. If interested, you need a pretty long USB-C connector in order to get a stable connection.
Well it is useless to discuss about its size and weight, a device with such a massive battery can't be slim neither light. It is 16.7x7.841x1.43cm with a weight of 290g. Hard to judge, this is the compromise to accept in order to get such a big battery.
On the upper front side there is pretty much everything you would need: Light/Proximity Sensors, Flashlight, Notification LED (RGB), Earpiece and Camera.
Also the Notification LED is exactly the same as on the K6, here is one of the colors it supports, but it is RGB.
On the lower front side there isn't anything at all.
As regards the back side, there is the plastic non-removable cover featuring a "leather" (doesn't feel real leather to me) pattern that adds some grip if used without any cover. I really like the shape used for the camera/fingerprint frame, even though it looks a bit not proper for such a stylish design. Odd.
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.
An iconic OUKITEL logo on the lower back side ends the unboxing ^^.
Device (taken from the K6)
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 (taken from the K6)
Identical to the MIX 2, this K6/K10 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 (taken from the K6)
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 (taken from the K6)
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 (taken from the K6)
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
Due to its battery design, it is kinda messy to measure the real capacity, so i am cycling the battery before measuring it with my USB Tester. Meanwhile, i disassembled the device in order to provide you some info about its battery cells. Technically it should contain 2 x 5050mAh cells in parallel, but i can't confirm it yet. Cells made by BAK, Serial Number shown in photo.
Considering the result obtained on the K6 (22 hours), 38 hours and 7 minutes based on the PCMark Battery Test might confirm the 11000mAh battery capacity. Test run at minimum brightness, Sync On, WiFi On.
Just like on the K6, this K10 features the same charging technology, but with an higher amperage to compensate the extra battery capacity, using a 5V/5A Charger. Still, based on my measurements, the device doesn't use more than ~4.2A, probably the cable is not able to handle so much current.
Software (mostly taken from the K6)
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.
Both K6 and K10 feature an NFC antenna, but again i can't test Android Pay here in Italy so...i need your user feedback about its compatibility. On the K6 it wasn't working at the time of the release but it has been fixed after a while, the same may happen for this K10.
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 (taken from the K6)
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
After having tested the K6 i was already pretty satisfied of what OUKITEL managed to obtain considering previous devices from the same brand, and the same applies for this K10, since both hardware & software are almost exactly the same. Sadly they kept the same downsides found on the K6, but at least there isn't any extra negative aspect.
So, the first question that someone might have is: "Why should i choose the K10 over the K6?". Well, this highly depends on your requirements. If you don't mind about the size, weight and build quality, then the K10 is a good choice to get that extra battery life, and i can recommend it.
This is quite an achivement for OUKITEL considering that this is the smartphone with the biggest REAL battery ever released, after the K10000 Pro released some months ago. A battery king.
Pros:
Android 7.1 instead of the usual 7.0
Equipped with everything (NFC, Gyroscope, Notif. LED...)
Excellent Fast Charger
Powerhouse and power-efficient
Easy to disassembly
Cons:
No 3.5mm Headphone Jack (adapter-only)
Not released with Android 8 Oreo
Plastic Chassis
Requires longer than standard USB plugs

yes that's right.

I thought they are using a pair of 5.500mah batteries. Waiting for the phone shipped to me.
Anyone has any experience rooting and flashing custom rom yet on this device?
I am concerned about spyware.
Planning to flash lineage OS as soon as i got my hands on this device.

Has this phone a locked bootloader?
(if yes, is there a unlock method?)
There is, around internet (need......), a ported TWRP for this phone.
The istructions to install it say to flash (using flashtools) twrp.img and also boot.img (why also boot.img ?).
In other internet sites say that first need to unlock bootloader......
Is there anybody that successfully installed twrp (and root)? Please say how to.
Anybody knows custom rom(s) for this phone?

If OUKITEL doesn't solve your issue via the support email (contact them via FB too just in case), and AliExpress doesn't sell any replacement part yet, then it is not possible to buy it.

Well done, i think this is a new one since MalwareBytes was not able to find it. We should send a report to all major anti-virus/anti-malware companies so that this crap will be detected in the future.

Hi! Could anyone with this phone test something for me?
If you take a photo of a white piece of paper like a book page, manual, ID card, receipt, etc with the flash enabled, does the camera under exposure after the flash and capture a blurry, overexposed photo?

You should use comodo antivirus for Android as well as eset antivirus, not just Malwarebytes anti-malware and you will see that beautysnap, aiwinn photo album and quite possible the keyboard app facemoji.lite keyboare is malware and viruses. I would suggest blocking them or uninstalling them as the antivirus apps I mentioned are very good at detecting Chinese malware and viruses,the comodo and eset apps.
