OUKITEL WP23 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oukitel WP23 Pro - durable, inexpensive, outdated

The Chinese company Oukitel sometimes surprises with its decisions. Thus, the manufacturer uses even its relatively successful smartphones to the last, releasing several modifications at once over the course of 1-2 years. The hero of today's review confirms the above-mentioned statement. Will a durable, attractively priced, but still morally outdated phone be able to find a response in the hearts of buyers?

The appearance of the new product is frankly mediocre. We have already forgotten when we saw a fingerprint scanner on the back. The display frames are wide around the perimeter, the design of the 5-megapixel selfie camera came straight from 2019. But at least the colors of the rear panels and their texture are not bad. Of course, it is necessary to mention the moisture protection according to IP68 standards, but along with it, the monoblock acquired a huge thickness and the same weight. The installed 6.52-inch IPS screen is not able to surprise with anything. The resolution is low (1600x720 pixels), as a result, the clarity of the picture, there is no increased refresh rate, the peak brightness is about 500 nits. The indicator is modest.

The technical characteristics are the UNISOC Tiger T606 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC1 video adapter. The performance of such a bundle is around 250 thousand points in the AnTuTu test, so in everyday life there are not so many lags and slowdowns. The only thing that seems strange is the use of Android 13 instead of a more recent version. Gaming capabilities are not outstanding, but it is quite possible to run not particularly resource-intensive 3D projects like PUBG Mobile with a smooth framerate. The battery capacity is 10600 mAh, thanks to which autonomy will be the strongest side of the phablet. You can go 3-4 days without thinking about the nearest sockets. But the power of the charger at 18W hints that the desired 100% charge will take up to five hours. 128 GB of permanent memory is allocated, the presence of a slot for MicroSD cards will definitely not be superfluous.

The main photo modules are 13-, 2- and 0.3-megapixel sensors without optical stabilization. If with their help it is still possible to capture documents, then artistic shooting is very difficult for cameras even during the day. There is no stereo sound, and savings are also evident on the quality of the only speaker. It is quite loud, but the frequency response is uneven, a lot of distortion is heard in musical compositions. If you recall other advantages of the gadget, then contactless payments NFC and a reasonable price tag come to mind. As a result, you experience mixed emotions from the device, but its purchase is unlikely to upset you. However, the unit has many advantages.
