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

Oukitel C1 Pro - when memory is useless

The Chinese company Oukitel tries to squeeze the maximum benefit out of its developments, so it is rare when a new model does not have several modifications with different indexes. Unfortunately, the Pro index will not help the hero of today's review to become noticeably more interesting than its simpler predecessor, because there are practically no improvements.

The appearance of the new product is not bad for the price category. Yes, you will not find expensive assembly materials in the gadget (plastic is used everywhere), narrow screen frames and a modern form factor of a 5-megapixel front camera, but there is a side fingerprint scanner, a pleasing to the eye block of photo modules, a variety of case colors for every taste. But the display is a disaster. For some reason, the developer left the same unsuccessful 6.52-inch IPS screen with a terrible resolution of 1280x576 pixels by today's standards. You can't watch HD videos on YouTube, small fonts seem loose and blurry. Peak brightness barely reaches 400 nits, there is no increased refresh rate, and color rendering is far from ideal.

Technical specifications have been transferred unchanged. Of course, the UNISOC Tiger T606 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and the Mali G57MC1 graphics core are not mediocre, they cope with the Android 15 interface. However, gaming capabilities are still limited, 3D projects like Genshin Impact will be full of lags even with minimal graphics settings. The battery capacity is 5150 mAh, no metamorphosis here. The phablet will work for a couple of days on such a battery. At the same time, you can't dream of fast charging, its power is a ridiculous 10W. The ROM size has been increased to 256 GB. This is perhaps the only competitive advantage of the device compared to the previous device.

It is difficult to take the photo capabilities of the 13- and 0.3-megapixel photo sensors seriously. They can capture a document, and thank you for that. Artistic photography will literally always be spoiled by noise, blur, or incorrect color rendering. One speaker will not let you miss an important call, but you will not be able to listen to your favorite music with it. There are too many distortions, and the frequency response is uneven. Contactless NFC payments are missing. Thus, the device does not deserve attention.
