OUKITEL WP12 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oukitel WP12 - long-playing but outdated

Smartphones in the low-middle price segment have made significant progress in terms of functionality over the past few months. The advent of affordable 5G processors has made low-cost phones much more popular. Unfortunately, things change much more slowly in the category of devices protected from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards. So, the hero of today's review is not much different from their counterparts last year.

The design of the novelty is pretty standard for the IP68 segment. You can see a decent thickness of the rubberized body, and wide screen frames on all sides, and a huge place for an 8-megapixel selfie camera. Of course, the developer tried to transform the exterior of the phablet, which is felt in the stylish design of the dual camera, nice rubberized decorative elements. But even on the fingerprint scanner they saved. The 5.5-inch OGS display is neither disappointing nor enthralling. The resolution was the usual 1440 x 720 pixels, the brightness and contrast parameters are not bad, but the image still fades in direct sunlight. There is no increased refresh rate of the picture.

The technical characteristics of the gadget are the Mediatek Helio A22 CPU, 4GB of RAM and the PowerVR GE8320 graphics adapter. It is difficult to call the bundle low-performance, because it copes with the Android 11 interface, however, in the most demanding game projects, slowdowns will be observed even with minimal graphics presets. As a result, the chip is far from even the lowest Dimensity in performance. But the internal storage is allocated as much as 32GB of ROM with a slot for microSD cards .

A pair of main cameras is topped by not the worst 13-megapixel sensor, which gives reason to hope for high-quality daytime shooting with natural color rendition, but not for evening shots. Noises will be visible to the naked eye. The battery capacity has reached 4000mAh . You will have to spend a couple of hours at the outlet, but after that, the battery will provide two days of active use. NFC contactless payments also add to the list of the device's advantages, however, a number of unpleasant shortcomings with terrible ergonomics and a peculiar exterior do not allow recommending the device to everyone.
