OUKITEL C38 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oukitel C38 - needs more memory!

Smartphone manufacturers are trying to give competitive advantages to even their most inexpensive products. This is not an easy task, because the developer needs to stay within the cost limits and also maintain a balance of all model parameters. The Chinese company Oukitel has practically coped with all the difficulties described, so the hero of today’s review will definitely find a buyer. But there were some offensive disadvantages.

I don’t want to find fault with the design of the new product. Not every competitor is ready to boast an almost frameless display, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a modern triple camera design and a beautiful rear panel texture. In addition, the polycarbonate used in the structure of the case does not cause any complaints. I would like the current form factor of the 32-megapixel selfie camera, but this is rather a nitpick. The IPS panel has FullHD+ resolution, so the user will not have problems with image clarity. Color rendition is correct, the brightness reserve of 600 nits is not bad, although it is slightly too small for interacting with the phablet in direct sunlight.

The technical characteristics chosen were Mediatek MT8788 CPU, 6GB of RAM and Mali G72MP3 video chip. This is an excellent solution for the low price segment, gaining more than 200 thousand points in the AnTuTu benchmark. Android 13 is not replete with stutters in everyday life; applications do not open for several seconds. The gaming capabilities, of course, are not the most extensive, but it’s quite possible to while away the time in your favorite PUBG Mobile or World Of Tanks Blitz with low-medium graphic presets. Internal storage is allocated as much as 256GB with a slot for MicroSD cards. Opponents simply cannot please you with such a volume of ROM. The 5150mAh battery guarantees about two days of work with the mobile assistant, however

The main 48-, 2- and 0.3-megapixel photo modules are capable of more than just capturing text. So, with their help it is possible to take detailed daytime photographs of nature or stationary objects. The sound in the gadget is mediocre, because it is responsible for one small speaker with an unbalanced frequency response. Wireless headphones are supported, but there are no high-tech codecs like LDAC. There is also no support for NFC contactless payments. Fans of easy payment in supermarkets will definitely be upset. But if these shortcomings are not critical for you, then the device can be considered for purchase.
