Oukitel WP18

Technical specifications

The phone does what it is supposed to. Good sound and call quality. The battery life is excellent. It easily lasts about a week with normal use. Quite simply, the phone is not for children or gaming, but for work, the forest, or construction sites - and it fulfills its purpose here. I can access the internet normally, check what I need, the navigation works, along with Bluetooth, banking apps, email, and Android 11. The system is clean and somewhat basic, but that is good because the phone runs smoothly, does not freeze, and does not overheat. I recommend it, especially since it does not cost much.

It claims to be DualSim, but not really; you can either insert two SIM cards or one SIM card and a MicroSD memory card. It is impossible to insert two SIM cards and a memory card at the same time. The camera on this phone is a disaster; the sensor noise is so bad that grain is visible in the photo, the image is blurry, there are light streaks on the screen, and it is not due to poor lighting because a seven year old Samsung in the same position takes flawless photos. Android 11 is a misunderstanding; everything is complicated compared to previous versions. It is impossible to edit a contact; if you make a mistake, you must delete it and add it again. After every restart of the phone, some unwanted numbers from the operator, such as "teleplotka" and other junk, return to the contact list. After inserting the SIM cards, it did not receive SMS messages; it was necessary to find an option where the SIM phone number was entered manually, and only then did it work! Perhaps this is all due to some Oukitel overlay on Android, although it is supposedly stock Android. Overall, I do not recommend it.

My opinion is that this phone is good, but only for basic tasks such as calling, writing text messages, checking information of interest on the internet, or possibly listening to music on headphones.
You can also take good photos with it, but you have to work hard on the settings in the camera's PRO mode before taking a picture.

Advantages:
- large battery capacity, as much as 12500 mAh, thanks to which the phone works for a long time without needing to recharge with basic use.
- a massive housing that protects well against flooding and is also resistant to drops.
- the phone operates smoothly with regular use.

Disadvantages:
- a weak GPU model that debuted in 2014, making the phone unsuitable for gaming.
- a low-quality camera; you will take a basic photo, but do not expect miracles.
