IIIF150 Air3 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

IIIF150 Air3 - too unusual

A sub-brand of the Chinese company Oukitel with a name that is not the easiest to pronounce does not forget to update the range of smartphones protected from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards. However, attempts to distinguish phones from competitors using design, as well as unique competitive advantages, raise questions. The hero of today's review is no exception.

The appearance of the new product is controversial, although memorable. The original design of the photo module block in the form of two circles framed by LEDs looks bright, catchy, but still will not appeal to all buyers. Among the obvious advantages of the exterior, we note the stylish colors of the rear panels, a side fingerprint scanner, a reasonable thickness of the rubberized case for the segment. The display frames are more than noticeable. The diagonal of the IPS panel has exceeded six and a half inches, the FullHD + resolution allows you to achieve good picture clarity. The color rendition is natural, but the brightness reserve could be more than 550 nits. The lack of an increased image refresh rate is also unpleasantly surprising.

The technical characteristics include an ancient, but still quite good in performance MediaTek Helio G96 processor, 12 GB of RAM and a Mali G57MC2 graphics adapter. About 350 thousand points in the AnTuTu test make it possible to count on the smooth functioning of the Android 14 OS interface, relatively fast launch of applications. You won’t be bored without games either, but in very demanding projects like Genshin Impact or Zenless Zone Zero, it is strongly recommended to set low or even minimal graphics presets. The battery life of the gadget among its opponents is not pleasing. A battery of only 5000 mAh provides about a day and a half of active use of the unit, the power of the charger reached 30 W. You need to be near the outlet for a little more than an hour. But they definitely did not save on the size of the internal storage. On 512 GB of ROM, as well as MicroSD cards, you can place films and entire seasons of your favorite TV series.

The 100-megapixel sensor from Omnivision is combined with a 20-megapixel monochrome night vision sensor, which will be needed more by fishermen and hunters. The main camera does not give in even to daytime shots of moving objects, there is a chance of getting a high-quality evening shot, albeit with noise. There is no stereo sound, for some reason there is no separate jack for wired headphones. But there are NFC contactless payments and a gyroscope. Thus, we have before us a not very balanced device, which has too many analogues today.
