OUKITEL WP35 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oukitel WP35 - avoiding unnecessary risks

To achieve success, a smartphone manufacturer does not always need to release products that change the industry or revolutionize the price segment. Sometimes you just need not to clutter the range of products offered with pass-through models and create devices that are worthy in terms of price and quality. This is exactly what the hero of today’s review became.

The design of an inexpensive phablet with water protection according to IP68 standards is unlikely to cause a storm of positive emotions even among an unpretentious user. The main problems in the form of excessive thickness of the rubberized body and wide display frames remain in place. Of course, the designers tried to divert attention from them with an original block of three photo modules, a side fingerprint scanner, and a stylish and ergonomic texture of the rear panel, but the result cannot be considered completely successful. The IPS panel used is not bad in terms of the clarity of the displayed image at FullHD+ resolution, there is also realistic color reproduction, and a reasonable brightness reserve of 600 nits for the screen manufacturing technology. It’s a pity that the increased refresh rate of the image bypassed the IPS display.

The technical characteristics were the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ processor with support for 5G networks, 8GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC2 graphics adapter. The combination is not new, but it is still relevant in terms of the balance of performance and energy efficiency. Almost 400 thousand points in the AnTuTu benchmark allow us to hope for the successful launch of many resource-intensive games, albeit at close to minimum graphics settings. The 11,000 mAh battery will last for 3-4 days of active use of the mobile assistant. However, the battery is endowed with a mediocre charging power of 18W, due to which the unit will remain at the outlet all night. 256GB of permanent memory is allocated; not every buyer will have to use MicroSD cards.

64-, 8- and 2-megapixel cameras lack optical stabilization, but are more than suitable for high-quality daytime photographs while maintaining detail and color rendition. Evening photographs are already noticeably worse, but the rivals in the price category do not stand out as anything special. There is no stereo sound, but one large-diameter speaker produces loud, rich sound. NFC contactless payments and a competitive price tag increase the gadget’s chances of good sales.
