OUKITEL WP27 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oukitel WP27 - durability comes first

Smartphones with moisture protection according to IP68 standards are becoming more relevant every year. Particularly interesting for users are devices of the middle price segment, which, with a reasonable price tag, try not to disappoint with functionality, performance and other parameters. Refers to such devices and the hero of today's review.

The design of the novelty directly tells us that it is not afraid of dust and moisture, and it does not care about falling. Also, part of the audience will like the white and green camouflage colors used in addition to the standard gray. The triple camera unit and the side fingerprint scanner turned out to be successful. The display bezels are wide, but most opponents have a worse situation with them. What upsets is the thickness of the case and its weight, it is not easy to use the device with one hand. The 6.8-inch IPS display is not the strongest feature of the phone. It has a good resolution of 2460x1080 pixels to balance picture clarity and energy efficiency, realistic color reproduction, but the brightness margin is small, there is no increased image refresh rate.

I don’t want to find fault with the technical characteristics, but the MediaTek Helio G99 CPU has already managed to get a little bored due to the presence in dozens of IP68 smartphones. However, with 12GB of RAM and a Mali G57-MC2 video adapter, the chipset will get rid of Android 13 OS lag, making launching applications almost instantaneous. But you need to understand that we are far from a flagship processor, so its gaming capabilities are still limited. This fact is noticeable in the really resource-intensive Honkai: Star Rail and Fortnite, where more or less smooth gameplay is achieved exclusively at low graphic presets. At the same time, friezes will be frequent when loading large locations. As for autonomy, everything is in order with it. The 8500 mAh battery provides about a couple of days of active use of the phablet. It is a pity that the charging power was 33w, so it will take about two and a half hours to be at the outlet. The size of the internal memory has been increased to 256GB, it can always be expanded with MicroSD cards.

The 64-megapixel main sensor from Omnivision, the 20-megapixel monochrome night vision camera and the 2-megapixel macro module do not make a camera phone out of a gadget, but are still ready to cope with a variety of shooting scenarios. Only capturing evening photos will cause difficulties due to the lack of optical stabilization. There are multiple noises, there are blurs of small objects. They saved on stereo sound, but the only speaker is trying not to upset with a loud, rich sound. NFC contactless payment and a reasonable price also favorably distinguish a durable and balanced unit against the background of classmates.
