OUKITEL C1 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

OUKITEL C1 - cut down on all fronts

Although the company OUKITEL is definitely a qualified specialist in the production of inexpensive smartphones, the most affordable models of the brand do not always cause positive emotions. Thus, the hero of today's review turned out to be a very compromise, which the sophisticated audience of the market is unlikely to forgive him.

The appearance of the new product is difficult to consider unsuccessful. There are also pleasing to the eye colors of the cases, and an up-to-date block of photo modules, and a side fingerprint scanner. Only the rather wide screen frames and the outdated format of the 5-megapixel selfie camera are disappointing. But the 6.52-inch IPS display is really disappointing. The extremely modest resolution of 1280x576 pixels will not allow you to enjoy even HD content on YouTube and other video hosting sites, and the mediocre peak brightness of 400 nits, only the standard 60-Hz refresh rate and faded color rendition emphasize the poor quality of the IPS panel.

The technical characteristics are not so terrible. The UNISOC Tiger T606 processor, 4 GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC1 video core are quite functional and cope with the Android 15 interface without an excess of lags and slowdowns. As for games, you can successfully launch only undemanding 3D projects like PUBG Mobile. The battery capacity of 5150 mAh can no longer be considered a record, because similar batteries have appeared in opponents. However, you can count on a couple of days of battery life. 128 GB of permanent memory is allocated, there is a slot for MicroSD cards.

You shouldn't expect stunning photos from a cheap device, but the 13-megapixel main sensor and an additional 0.3-megapixel sensor are only good for document shooting. Artistic shots are spoiled by either blurs or noise in 90% of cases. There is one speaker, but it is not very loud, and the bass is lacking. There are no NFC contactless payments. As a result, the device will suit the most unpretentious users, it has a lot of shortcomings.
