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

Oukitel C59 - cheap but original

The Chinese company Oukitel decided to meet the summer with a whole flurry of inexpensive smartphones. At the same time, the product range was replenished with several phones at once with unusual parameters for the price segment. The hero of today's review was no exception, able to pleasantly surprise with several competitive advantages.

The appearance of the new product is quite beautiful. Yes, there are no thin display frames or the current form factor of a 5-megapixel selfie camera, but at the same time the block of photo modules is very stylish, the colors of the cases are pleasing to the eye, and the side fingerprint scanner is not forgotten. On the upper edge there is a full-fledged bright flashlight. The large 6.88-inch IPS screen does not impress with the clarity of the displayed content at a resolution of 1640x720 pixels, and the peak brightness of 500 nits is similar to that of competitors. But the color rendering of the IPS panel is without obvious errors, there is increased image smoothness at a 90-Hz refresh rate.

The technical characteristics include the UNISOC Tiger T606 processor, 4 GB of RAM and the Mali G57-MC1 video adapter. This is a pretty good bundle, scoring about 250 thousand points in the AnTuTu test. The Android 15 interface works smoothly, lags are not considered frequent, many 3D games are launched that are not too demanding on resources. Thus, PUBG Mobile or Call Of Duty will be available with low-medium graphic presets. 128 GB of permanent memory is allocated, but it can always be expanded with MicroSD cards. But the autonomy is already a real delight. A 10,000 mAh battery lasts for 4-5 days, so the charging power of only 18 W does not seem like a critical minus.

The photo capabilities are very simple, the 13- and 0.3-megapixel sensors are designed to capture documents, artistic photography is not possible even in the daytime with the module. Stereo sound is also not to be expected. The only speaker is not loud, the frequency response is uneven. But, again, the opponents are no better in these aspects. But contactless NFC payments could have been present in the gadget. However, a long-lasting, attractive device with a very affordable price tag definitely has a right to exist.
