The model with the most capacious battery in the world. Overview of the smartphone Oukitel K10000

Power bank quickly burst into our lives and became a real salvation! This device will come to the rescue at any time and charge the phone. Now you do not need to run around with a charger, look for an outlet, literally "hang" on this wire waiting for your phone to charge.

It is enough to carry a power bank with you in your bag to always be sure that the phone will not let you down at a crucial moment.

And today I'll tell you about mine.

Price: 21$

Where could I buy: in online hardware stores or in regular stores. I purchased from itbox

Before a long journey, I did not even doubt buying a power bank. I knew that he would always insure and help out when there was no outlet nearby. And now I can not imagine life without this device!

chose best option- at 10000 mAh. The cost of the power bank was about $ 21 + they also gave a guarantee for a year, and if something happens, you can always contact the support service.

About device:

The second generation of Xiaomi Mi Powerbank has a capacity of 10000 mAh, and the charging speed has increased markedly. The classic appearance and minimalist design still emphasize the unique style well, and the light weight of the device will allow you to take it to work and travel.

Decor. Power bank was originally packed in a white box, which contains all the necessary information about the device. Basically I keep power bank in a box - it is quite compact. But I plan to buy a cover to look more beautiful.

There are two compartments inside the box: for the power bank and for the cable. There are also two instructions in different languages, which describe what the connector is for.

The power bank itself is dark gray, matte, cold and heavy. And I don't like it. It is really heavy, and if you put something else in the bag, it will pull your hand away.

On the one hand there is lights, signaling the level of charge of the device, and a button, by clicking on which, you can find out how much charge is left. It is very comfortable! And while charging the power bank itself, the lights blink and show how much more you need to wait for a full charge. Four lights. And sometimes the charging indicator of the power bank itself and the total charge does not match- in the first case it shows one light, and in the second - two, for example. But this is not critical.

Also here is two connectors: small and bigger. A small one is needed to charge the power bank itself, and a large one is needed to charge the phone from the power bank. I don't like the material here - all traces and scratches remain on it. If the cable does not get into the connector the first time, then a scratch will remain. And this side does not look very nice. If I were the manufacturer, I would suggest some kind of protection sticker to protect the device from scratches.

On the other hand, device information:

The cable included with the power bank is white, dense. This cable is used to charge the phone: the thin side is inserted into the phone, and the thicker side is inserted into the power bank.

Immediately after connecting the phone to the power bank, the charge lamp lights up - everything is the same as in the usual case of charging the phone.

How to charge a power bank? To do this, you need to use a phone charger.

How long does it take to charge a power bank? Almost all night. This is to fully charge - until the fourth light bulb is stable. But I rarely bring the device to full discharge and put it on recharging if the first or second light is on.

How long does a 10000 mAh charge last? The battery capacity of my phone is 2070 mAh. Therefore, the capacity of the power bank should be enough for almost 5 full charges. But keep in mind that 10000 mAh is the maximum figure. Average real capacity external battery is about 8000 mAh.

I make sure that the phone is never completely discharged, so it is difficult for me to answer the question of a full charge. On average, I put the phone on charge when there is about 20% of the battery charge left. Under such conditions complete charge power bank is enough for 5-7 times.

I put "4", not "5" because of the scratches that occur. The manufacturer could stick a protective film. For me appearance device is very important! And the weight is confusing - the power bank is heavy.

Thank you for your attention

Hi all. There is an opportunity to acquaint you with interesting novelties. Last time we reviewed interesting watches in terms of autonomy. And today is no less unique thing. On the Oukitel review K10000 with 10000mah battery. I propose to get to know this monster in more detail and see what it is capable of.

The phone comes in a stylish black box, in which it is not a shame to present it. On the surface there is an imitation under some kind of skin, only a crocodile comes to mind. On the upper part, the inscription of the manufacturer's company is made in glossy golden paint. On the bottom side is the manufacturer's address and some information on the charger.


The inside of the box is lined with black velvet. Looks very stylish. Let's take a look at each item separately.


The tray for sim cards and memory cards is located on the side, so there is a paper clip in the box. Charger for 5/7/9V and 2A. Fully charges the phone in 3.5 hours.


I checked the charge through the tester. More than 1.61A could not be obtained.


Next is protective film and a screen cleaning cloth.


OTG cable and cable for charging and data transfer.


Separately, in a black paper envelope with a golden inscription, there is an instruction manual for this phone.


And a plastic case on the back side. The side edges are transparent.

Appearance

The phone looks very brutal and massive. Screen size 5.5 inches. There are no round smooth edges on the front side. There is a metal frame around the perimeter. In general, I think the manufacturer managed to stand out with the design of this phone from the gray mass of the same type of devices.


On the left side face is a tray for SIM cards and memory cards. You can use 2 sim cards at the same time or 1 sim card and a memory card. That is, the tray is combined. There are rivets on the top and bottom.






At the bottom of the screen are the Menu-Back-Home buttons. They don't light up.


At the top of the screen from right to left are a 5MP camera, a light and proximity sensor, and a speaker. The speaker is framed in a beautiful grille.


On the right side there is an on/off button for the phone and a volume rocker. Buttons do not play, everything is fine. For me, it is more familiar when they are located on the right side.




At the top, there is a headphone jack. I don’t really like it when the audio output and microusb are separated at different ends.


The microphone is located on the bottom right end. There are also 2 speakers here. Outwardly they look powerful, but only one of them is real, the one on the right. A microUSB port with OTG function was placed between the speakers.


The back side looks no less brutal and powerful than the front of the phone. The cover is metal and planted on rivets, the battery is non-removable. Around this cover is a rubberized part.


On the cover there is a stylized image of a bull. This is due to the name of the models of this manufacturer for the domestic market. Looks impressive.


At the top is a dual LED flash and a 13MP camera.


Manufacturer's name at the bottom.


In combination with a metal frame and a capacious battery, this phone cannot weigh a little, but even I am a little surprised. Weight 318gr. You can’t carry this in your breast pocket, you can easily tear it off. But I think that the target audience will not be repelled by weight.

Screen

This model has a 5.5" screen with HD, IPS, OGS resolution. The screen is good. At large angles, the picture remains clearly distinguishable. I think this model will have 178 degrees. The phone has a sufficient margin of brightness. In sunny weather, you can easily see the picture on the screen "I didn't notice any distortions or loss of quality. For me, it's not comfortable to read books at the minimum brightness. But there are owners of this model who are satisfied with everything in this regard.

Firmware

Android 5.1 is installed in this model. In the future, the manufacturer promises the sixth version. There is no desktop on the phone, applications are located immediately on the screens. Icons have their own design different from the standard one. The play market is installed and there is Clean master. Purely Chinese applications have not been noticed.


There is a circle on the screen. Clicking on it will bring up additional menus. This circle can be disabled in the settings. I liked the presence of the Game mode, when selected, the bottom buttons of the screen are blocked and you can play safely. Sometimes by accident during the game you can click on one of them and throw it out of the game - it's annoying.


The phone has 2GB of RAM, but from the start, 1.5GB is available to the user. Of the 16 GB of internal memory, 11.59 GB are available. The built-in memory can be expanded with 32GB memory cards.


In this model, it is possible to receive updates over the air, but nothing arrived at the time of testing. There is a menu with gestures, but, like in many phones, they are not fully translated. And there is a separate application to save battery power.

Performance tests, networks, autonomy.

Games

Coming from iron this phone it becomes clear that this is not a gaming phone. In Asphalt8, at the highest settings, fps starts to sag. Recall that in Epic Citadel on ultra high settings it produced 21 frames per second. On medium settings everything is fine. To check the quality of the touchscreen, I used a Nibbler toy. What is it for? It happens that you press in one sector of the phone, and another works. Everything is fine with this model. The games can be viewed in the video review.

Camera

The front camera is 2MP with interpolation up to 5MP, and the rear camera with auto focus is 8MP with interpolation up to 13MP. The original files can be downloaded from the link Video is recorded in FullHD with 3gp extension. An example of video shooting with a sound check can be viewed in the video review.

As always, I make a video review. In it, you can look at the process of testing in games, checking OTG and checking the quality of sound recording when shooting video.

Conclusion

The phone has mediocre cameras, so you should not expect much from them. Both of them are interpolated, the back one is with auto focus. 2GB of RAM is enough for everyday tasks and comfortable surfing the Internet. Of the 16GB of internal memory, almost 11GB is available to the user, but can be increased by using 32GB memory cards. This model uses a combined slot for 2 sim cards and a memory card. You can use 2 SIM cards or a SIM card and a memory card at the same time. Now this is the situation with many manufacturers in new phones. AT Antutu phone gaining a little over 24,000, about the same result for Cubot P11. In phone good screen with a wide range of brightness. Subjectively, for me, the brightness at the minimum level is a lot for reading books, but other owners are satisfied. Viewing angles are good, on the street you can see the picture on the screen without any problems. At the highest settings in Asphal8 fps sags a little, in Epic Citadel at ultra high it gives out 21fps. The advantages of this phone include the presence of OTG and 4G. The disadvantages include the lack of an event indicator. I often have the sound turned off on work issues and this thing saves me.

Externally, the phone stands out due to the broken lines on the body and size. There is a metal frame around the screen. I remember I was riding the subway and half of the carriage watched with interest what I was holding in my hands. The back side looks no less spectacular: a black metal plate and a bull also attract attention. But 318 gr. The phone weighs not only because of the metal. The battery is set to 10000mah, it is not removable. The phone is able to last 14.5 hours in heavy games with the included communication networks, wi-fi and 100% screen brightness. This is the best result so far.

Of course, this phone has already found its category of buyers and will find it, but this model is not for me: you can’t put it in a shirt pocket. And according to information from the manufacturer, Android 6.0 and a fingerprint scanner are expected in the updated model, but this is in the second half of the year.

Thank you all for your attention.

Where could I buy?
Liked the review +17 +50

The largest smartphone manufacturers do not produce models with really powerful batteries. They both stopped at the mark of 5000 mAh - that's how they stand on it. And some, like HTC and Samsung, can't even get past 4,000 mAh. It is understandable: large and wealthy companies can afford to optimize the power consumption of a smartphone in other ways, for example, using the latest generation of economical screens and modern 10-nanometer chipsets.

On the other hand, the "grandfather method" - the use of a really large battery - is also quite effective. In this rating, you will find 7 smartphones with really serious batteries - from 6000 mAh and more. Perhaps, in order to “squeeze” the maximum operating time out of this or that device, you will have to play tricks on the software, but these devices are mostly inexpensive.

7. BlackView P2 (6000 mAh, 11900 rubles)

A metal smartphone with 4 GB of RAM, a 5.5-inch Full HD screen, a mid-range MediaTek chipset, and so on - in a word, a typical inexpensive Chinese device of the 2017 model. If not for one "but": the battery here is about twice as large as usual - by 6000 mAh. We dare to assume that she will last four days without problems. Unless, of course, you get a copy with normal, and not with a crooked firmware - when buying smartphones from small Chinese brands, this happens all the time. Then you are on the way to the specialized forums where the "pickers" of these very firmware are sitting. They will help.

6. Ulefone Power 2 (6050 mAh, about 10 thousand rubles)

This device also cannot boast of top-end features - a 5.5-inch Full HD screen, an average MediaTek MT6750T chipset, and so on. In general, everything is about the same as the BlackView model. And the battery is almost the same - 6050 mAh. Yes, and with the firmware the same situation. Ideally, you can count on a few days of confident work, but in practice - how will it go.

5. Oukitel K6000 Plus (6080 mAh, about 10 thousand rubles)

And again chinese smartphone with a battery in the region of 6000 mAh (the developers are talking about 6080), a 5.5-inch Full HD screen, a MediaTek chipset, a fingerprint scanner on the rear panel and other features typical of mid-range devices from China. Against the general background, Oukitel, perhaps, only the pedigree will stand out - the company has long been engaged in smartphones with powerful batteries and even managed to set a number of records (about one of them below).

4. + Moto TurboPower Pack (2730 + 3490 = 6220 mAh, more than 60 thousand rubles)

The Motorola Z2 Force does not have a very capacious battery - only 2730 mAh. But! For Motorola smartphones, as you know, there are rear covers Moto Mods with different functionality, including batteries. And if you attach the Moto TurboPower Pack with its 3490 mAh to the Z2 Force, then the total will be as much as 6220 mAh. Say, inelegant solution? Disagree: Motorola made this back panel very thin, so with it the device will be only slightly larger than a typical smartphone. And yes, the Moto TurboPower Pack fits a number of other Motorola Z-series models, . We put Moto Z2 Force here only for the reason that it is the most unusual in the Motorola line - the screen of this model is very difficult to break.

3. Highscreen Easy Power (8000 mAh, 7490 rubles)

The model combines very simple components (1 GB of RAM, a weak MediaTek chipset, a 5-inch screen with HD resolution), but the battery is gigantic - 8000 mAh. As a result, the smartphone works for quite a long time. On the other hand, a weak filling encourages using it as a means of communication and access to the Internet, but certainly not for the same games.

2. (3100 + 6900 mAh = 10000 mAh, 13990 rubles)

Included with this smartphone are removable batteries for 3100 and 6900 mAh, as well as rear panels for each of them. I put the first battery - I got a relatively thin device with a couple of days of "autonomy" in stock, I put the second one - and here you are for another three or four days. In total, in theory, it comes out about a week. Highscreen Boost 3 SE Pro is equipped with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a slightly outdated 8-core MediaTek chipset (yet the smartphone is already more than two years old) and a 13 megapixel camera. A feature of the model is an advanced audio system, including the ESS9018K2M DAC and the ADA4897-2 amplifier.

1. (10000 mAh, about 11 thousand rubles)

If the K10000 model turned out to be rather unsuccessful (a few details -), then the K10000 Pro has a chance to rehabilitate the manufacturer. The device received a more modern (and faster) hardware platform and, I would like to believe, a normally optimized firmware. Which, together with a monstrous 10,000 mAh battery, will allow it to work for a really long time. Do you want to check how tenacious it is? Order. It is relatively inexpensive and, among other things, offers a design in the style of "a little collective farm replica of Vertu". However, from a distance of a couple of meters, this "collective farm" no longer catches the eye.

New smartphone The Chinese company Oukitel has a 10,000 mAh battery. The novelty offers up to 15 days battery life and allows you to charge other electronics. For example, a smartphone battery will be able to charge three iPhone 6s Plus, while it will retain another 10% charge.

Record battery

The Chinese company Oukitel has released a smartphone with a 10000 mAh battery - Oukitel K10000, the first information about which is in June 2015.

The manufacturer claims that no other smartphone on the market has such a battery capacity. He assures that the device offers up to 15 days of battery life in "normal use" mode.

Battery Capabilities

Similar to Lenovo Vibe P1, the device is equipped with a function fast charging(3.5 hours to fully charge the battery) and allows you to charge other electronics via OTG adapter. For example, Oukitel K10000 will be able to fully charge three iPhone 6s Plus, while he himself will have 10% of the charge.

Other characteristics

The novelty is equipped with a 5.5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, a 4-core 64-bit MediaTek MTK6735 processor with a frequency of 1 GHz, an ARM Mali-T720 graphics accelerator, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB permanent memory. The resolution of the front camera is 2 MP, the rear camera is 8 MP. The smartphone has two slots for SIM-cards (Micro-SIM). Instead of one SIM card, a card can be installed microSD memory. There is support for LTE networks. The device is running operating system Android 5.1 Lollipop with a proprietary graphical shell, a feature of which is support for many screen gestures.

The smartphone is equipped with a 10000 mAh battery

Availability and cost

The smartphone appeared in some online stores. Its cost is about $240.

The cost of the device is $240

Last year, Chinese smartphone makers one by one began to install fingerprint sensors in their products. As a result, in a matter of months, this technology even penetrated the sub-$100 smartphone segment, getting rid of the “exclusivity touch” and ceasing to be an important “selling point”. To attract buyers, you now have to focus on other advantages, including battery capacity. It is growing rapidly: if a year ago, smartphones with a battery capacity of more than 4000 mAh were a curiosity, then last fall, models with a battery of more than 6000 mAh were announced. Such products have good autonomy, as evidenced by their large dimensions and weight, which are additionally increased due to the large diagonal of the screen. Do you remember that the Chinese have five inches - just a mini? But 6000 mAh is not the limit, as evidenced by the novelty of Oukitel.

Equipment, appearance





In the initial price segment, it is customary to save on packaging design: simple printing and box materials, a unified design with other models. But Oukitel K10000 does not belong to the initial segment by Chinese standards, and therefore the designers were allowed to prove themselves. The usual rectangular packaging has a skin-like texture and is very pleasant to the touch, somewhat reminiscent of a soft-touch coating. Golden letters on a black background convey a minimum of information, but cope with the task of attracting attention. However, IMEI codes are still listed on the box.






The equipment is standard, but with some bias in the function of an external battery. The possibility of charging other devices is reminiscent of a microUSB-USB cable with a switch that activates the charge return mode. The Shenzhen Act APS-KI018W4E-G charger is also of interest. It changes the output voltage within 5, 7 or 9 V at a current of up to 2 A. This is clearly done to speed up the battery charge, most likely, the legs grow from the program.










The complete translucent plastic case is already on the smartphone and does not catch the eye until the smartphone is taken out of the box. The ears of the case are attached to the side corners of the smartphone, while the sides remain open. The cover sits tightly and does not play, the cutouts for the camera and flash exactly match the location of these elements on the smartphone.

Smartphone Oukitel K10000 looks brutal, this design has both supporters and opponents. The sides of the case are made of aluminum alloy, the upper and lower inserts (with earpiece and ringer) are made of polycarbonate, but visually they almost merge with the metal frame.




The back panel is edged with soft-touch plastic: good decision which provides a good grip. The central part of the back panel is made of metal and bears a stylized image of a bull. Most of the elements of the body are made in a single harsh and rough style: the speaker and ringer grille, the rear camera window, the volume buttons - everything hints at the off-road qualities of the Oukitel K10000. Unfortunately, there is no dust and moisture protection here, but it would finally form the image of a smartphone ready for all adversities. So far, we are offered only an outstanding battery capacity, and the accompanying features (very large weight and thickness) are hidden by a successful catchy design. The smartphone is not disassembled and the battery is not user replaceable. The memory card and SIM are installed in the basket on the left sidewall, which is removed with a complete lever.








The headphone jack is located on the top end, on the bottom there are two speaker grilles (although there is only one speaker), a microphone and a microUSB port. The lock and volume buttons are placed on the right sidewall, but due to their location, the thumb rests on the volume down key, and not the lock, which is problematic to reach. The situation is saved by the different shape of the volume and lock keys, so that as you get used to the smartphone, erroneous presses will be minimized. The front camera is devoid of flash, but the rear has acquired a two-segment LED flash.


The body of the Oukitel K10000 smartphone has no gaps or crevices, the quality of fitting of metal and plastic parts is high. There were no creaks when squeezing / twisting.

Screen and sound

The screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels looks great at a screen diagonal of less than five inches, but at 5.5 inches graininess can be seen with the naked eye. It does not hurt the eyes at all, but it is noticeable when compared with a screen of the same diagonal, but with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. In terms of pixel density, the Oukitel K10000 is inferior to many competitors: even smartphones priced around $150 now often offer Full HD screens, and for $180 (the price of this model) such smartphones are the vast majority. But not everything is so simple here - with an increase in resolution, the power consumption of the screen and backlight also increases, the smartphone consumes charge faster in resource-intensive games. So Oukitel engineers, choosing between "screen" and "autonomy", chose the latter.

It uses an IPS panel that provides excellent viewing angles when viewed under different angles the image only slightly yellows or turns blue, but remains legible. The minimum brightness is low enough to work in a dark room, and not all Chinese devices are capable of dropping to comfortable values. The maximum brightness is good for an IPS screen and will be sufficient when working outdoors on a sunny day, but without much headroom. Automatic brightness control works smoothly, with a delay of a few seconds after changing the ambient light level.

The audio path of the Oukitel K10000 smartphone does not contain expensive amplifiers or a DAC for a ringing speaker or headphones. As a result, the call speaker has an average volume and no bass, but a fairly clear sound. The BesLoudness function will help to correct the situation with the volume, significantly increasing the average level in musical compositions, but leaving the signal peaks untouched (according to subjective sensations). The sound quality in headphones is in no way inferior to models with flagship Qualcomm SoCs without specialized DACs or operational amplifiers. Headphones missing background noise, which is sometimes found on other smartphones. You can only complain about the lack of a large volume margin, but it is just enough for in-ear models.

A photo

The Oukitel K10000 smartphone is equipped with a rear camera with a two-segment LED flash. The camera resolution is claimed to be 13 MP, but at least one store indicates that it is actually 8 MP, and everything else is the work of the murky hands of interpolation. The camera software is no different from other devices based on MediaTek platforms, except that it has the ability to shoot HDR and apply a few simple effects (sepia, negative, etc.). There are also front-camera, resolution 2 MP, with interpolation up to 5 MP.

All pictures were taken in automatic mode. To test the capabilities of the sensor, I compared it with the Nubia Z7 Mini, which has an honest 13 MP sensor. Above is a picture of Oukitel, below Nubia, and the first two photos were taken at a resolution of 8 megapixels, forced on both smartphones:













Top Oukitel, bottom Nubia. 8 MP (left) and 13 MP (right) shots

In terms of image clarity at a resolution of 8 megapixels, the Oukitel K10000 smartphone is not inferior, and in some places even surpasses the Nubia Z7 Mini. The results are generally good, with a competent “noise reduction”, although the shift of the color gamut to warm tones is noticeable. But with a "native" resolution of 13 megapixels, the Oukitel K10000 already loses a lot in image clarity, this is very similar to the result of interpolation. I advise all owners of Oukitel K10000 to shoot in 8 megapixel resolution (which gives best quality) and not waste space on the memory card. .

OS and interface

All firmware for smartphone Oukitel K10000 on this moment based on Android 5.1 OS, but GUI has been redesigned. Now all system and user applications are grouped on desktops (as in iOS) instead of the main menu. You can create folders and even choose themes, although there are only two of the latter and they only change the style of the icons. There is also a working wireless update function that does its job automatically and shows a list of changes in the new firmware.

WhatsApp, Opera Mini and Clean Master are installed, more significant changes are hidden in the settings menu. There are several points for managing gestures at once: you can configure the behavior of the phone when incoming call and conversation, launch the camera, take screenshots and adjust the volume with a simple swipe of two or three fingers.

A separate menu item is responsible for gesture recognition when the screen is off: just draw “m” with your finger on the screen off to start/pause music player, "with" to enter phone book, swipe down to launch the camera, or swipe up to unlock, etc..

Finally, the "Float Gesture" menu item allows you to record your gestures to launch any system or user application. These gestures only work in a special widget that can move around the screen, and clicking on it opens a circular menu with several items, among which there is gesture recognition. An interesting feature, but to launch the application, you need to make quite a lot of gestures, sometimes it’s faster to find desired program on the menu. Only gestures drawn with one finger are supported, without taking your eyes off the screen. If these gestures can be recognized even when the screen is off in the future, then the benefits of "Float Gesture" will increase markedly.

For those users who, since the last charge of the Oukitel K10000 smartphone, have time to forget about the need to re-charge, the Power Saver utility will come in handy. It can activate the basic functionality mode in case the battery charge is suddenly will fall below 10% (you can also choose between 20% and 30%). In this mode, all wireless networks, the music will stop and the screen backlight will turn off, and the user will be left with only three functions: calls, contacts and SMS. You can return to normal functionality only by exiting the economy mode.

Hardware platform and performance

The Oukitel K10000 smartphone is based on the MediaTek MT6735P SoC, which differs from the regular MT6735 in a reduced frequency of processor cores. Four ARM Cortex-A53 cores run at 1 GHz instead of 1.3 GHz, the picture is complemented by the ARM Mali-T720 GPU, which belongs to entry level. With such a SoC, the Oukitel K10000 smartphone is unlikely to be able to claim leadership in gaming applications, its choice seems not very justified for a smartphone priced at $180. But, as with the screen, in this case the company could focus on autonomy and only last but not least - on performance. While competitors offer smartphones based on SoC with similar cores, but in the amount of eight pieces, with a frequency above 1.5 GHz, but with a “one-day” battery with a capacity of about 2500 mAh, Oukitel decided to follow the adage “go slower, you will be farther”.

The amount of RAM is 2 GB - not a record, but sufficient level for all everyday applications, and for SoC MediaTek MT6735P, more volume is simply not needed. After loading the OS, more than 1300 MB of RAM remain free. Built-in flash memory with a capacity of 16 GB, of which 11.6 GB are available to the user, there is also a slot for microSD cards up to 32 GB. It's time to evaluate the performance of Oukitel K10000 in test applications:

The results in the tests can be called very modest, although they correspond to the level of SoC MT6735P. It is more than twice inferior to the MT6753 model, which is found even in more affordable smartphones than today's hero. In terms of hardware specifications (with the exception of the battery), Oukitel K10000 is a clear underdog for its price. How are things in real games?




In Real Racing 3, the gameplay in some places resembles a gif-animation: at a frame rate of about 15 fps, it is difficult to control a high-speed car. The situation is weakly dependent on the number of cars on the screen, even when the player has a clean track, the frame rate remains low. Asphalt 8 with high image settings is still not comfortable, at medium fps settings it is acceptable, at low it is optimal. In Dead Trigger 2, the situation is better, fps sags only in complex scenes with an abundance of effects on the screen, which happens infrequently.

With active use, you may encounter a slowdown and “thoughtfulness” of the smartphone. Active surfing in Play market while installing applications at the same time, it will surely remind you of the modest characteristics of the platform used. In navigation applications, when loading offline maps and 3D visualization, you also do not have to rely on an instant response of the interface. Working with the OS resembles the experience of using flagship smartphones four years ago (with the then current version of the Android OS), the “thoughtfulness” of the interface is present, but not so noticeable as to interfere with everyday work.

Communication and communications

The Oukitel K10000 smartphone works in GSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 1900/2100 and FDD-LTE 800/1800/2100/2600 networks. Two cards Micro SIM are installed in a removable basket, but when you install a memory card, only one seat for Micro SIM will remain free.

Wi-Fi speed tested when connected to TP-Link router TL-WR1043ND (first revision), for which the limit is 300 Mbps at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. Tariff plan Provides speeds up to 100 Mbps. The smartphone was at a distance of one meter in direct line of sight from the router:

Upload and download reached 66 and 69 Mbps, respectively, which is a very good result. The table also contains more modest readings, they were obtained when connecting to another server.

In the open air, the smartphone quickly finds navigation satellites, the call quality is not bad, as is the sensitivity.

Offline work

This section is key for a smartphone with a 10000 mAh battery. Oukitel K10000 with the screen brightness fixed at 50% and the speaker volume, Wi-Fi turned on, showed itself as follows in the PCMark and AnTuTu Tester tests:

Almost 26 hours in PCMark is an outstanding result, a rare smartphone shows more than 7 hours in this application. The reverse side of the medal was the dimensions, weight and whimsicality in chargers. My Tronsmart storage Smart USB The Charger charged the Oukitel K10000 smartphone at a rate of about 2-3% per hour. At the same time, this charger can (in most cases) determine the connected load and provide the optimal charge rate, but the Oukitel K10000 is an exception. With a complete charger, a smartphone from 14% charged up to 46% in an hour, after another hour the charge level was already 78%. Thus, the complete charger charges the battery by more than 30% per hour. The capriciousness of the smartphone leads to the fact that in a limited time it makes sense to charge it only with a complete charger, the rest network adapters unlikely to provide an acceptable charging speed.

Results

Smartphone Oukitel K10000 can be recommended to users who are away from the outlet for a long time, and from civilization in general. With this product, you can be sure that mobile connection and GPS will be available a week (or even longer) after the last charge of the built-in battery. But on a long trip, you should not rely on one smartphone, you should take at least one external battery to the company. Brutal appearance can be a plus - depending on individual preferences.


The rest of the buyers should keep in mind that impressive battery life has been achieved, among other things, through the use of a rather weak SoC MediaTek MT6735P, which is found in much more affordable smartphones. But if modest performance and screen resolution, the use of interpolation in the camera are not important factors when choosing a smartphone, then Oukitel K10000 can be considered,
