OUKITEL WP32 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oukitel WP32 - controversial changes to the old model

A significant number of Chinese smartphone manufacturers like to re-release successful products, slightly updating their functionality. Sometimes such experiments turn out to be successful, but sometimes improvements simply cannot bring the phone’s relevance to the required level. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review is more likely to belong to the second case.

The appearance of the new product is outdated. They are trying to save the situation with a side fingerprint scanner and a dual camera unit, but it is impossible to hide the huge display frames and the enormous thickness of the case in this way. Thank God that such severe flaws in the exterior are partially justified by protection from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards. The 5.93-inch IPS screen is difficult to praise in a device at the border of the low and mid-price segment. A modest resolution of 1440x720 pixels, a standard 60-Hz image refresh rate, and a brightness reserve of 450 nits indicate that it is hardly advisable to expect a smooth, clear and bright picture.

Where the improvements are really visible is in the technical specifications. The UNISOC Tiger T606 processor and the Mali G57MC1 video adapter are a good combination for an inexpensive mobile assistant. It’s a pity that the amount of RAM was only 4GB, so you don’t need to count on efficiently running resource-intensive games. Genshin Impact will disappoint with stuttering even with minimal graphic presets. The Android 13 interface does not disappoint with slowdowns, and applications launch quickly. For some reason, the battery capacity has decreased. The 5800mAh battery, however, is still enough for two days of active use of the phablet. 128GB of permanent memory is allocated; if desired, the user can always use a slot for MicroSD cards.

The 20 and 0.3 megapixel main photo modules are unlikely to take a great many high-quality artistic photographs. The slightest deterioration in lighting leads to the appearance of noise and a significant drop in detail in the photograph. Sensors have fewer problems with capturing text or making video communications. There is no stereo sound, the only speaker does not have a rich sound, listening to music is unlikely to bring positive emotions. But NFC contactless payment is available. However, the final impression of the device is twofold due to the mediocre design and poor IPS panel.
