OUKITEL C59 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

OUKITEL C59 Pro - correct improvements

The Chinese company Oukitel has seriously expanded its range of low-price smartphones this month, and most of the updated models turned out to be quite competitive. The hero of today's review has also joined their ranks, the Pro index of which is used for a reason. There are differences from the original gadget, they are quite noticeable.

In terms of design, the new product has not undergone metamorphoses. Among the disadvantages, the wide screen frames and the irrelevant design of the 5-megapixel selfie camera still stand out, while the list of advantages is replenished due to the variety of colors of cases made of fairly high-quality plastic, a modern camera block, a side fingerprint scanner and a convenient flashlight on the upper edge. The 6.88-inch display has retained its smoothness thanks to the 90-Hz refresh rate, there is realistic color rendition. But you shouldn't expect excellent image clarity at a resolution of 1640x720 pixels. The brightness reserve of 600 nits is normal for the price category, but direct sunlight greatly reduces the visibility of the content.

The technical characteristics have taken a step forward. Now the UNISOC Tiger T606 CPU and Mali G57MC1 video core work with 8 GB of RAM, which has a positive effect on the performance of the Android 15 interface, the number of simultaneously running applications. Resource-intensive games like Genshin Impact still look like a slide show, but in projects like PUBG Mobile, the frame rate is smoother. The battery is still 10,000 mAh, so in terms of autonomy, the phablet is better than its opponents. You can safely count on 4-5 days of active use of the device. But the charging power has not been increased, they are still a modest 18W. The permanent memory has been increased to 256 GB, of course, there is also a slot for MicroSD cards.

It is a pity that the developer did not pay attention to photo capabilities. The same 13 and 0.3-megapixel photo sensors are not recommended for artistic photography, because low detail, an abundance of noise and other artifacts will spoil the whole impression. The sound of the only speaker is suitable only for notifications, listening to music with such an uneven frequency response is unpleasant. But contactless payments NFC appeared. Thus, we have before us a truly supplemented edition, although it does not completely correct all the shortcomings of its predecessor.
