In November we showed you a list of Chinese mobiles that wanted to reign in the low cost segment. As we have reminded you when it comes to talking about the most affordable terminals and in some cases, unknown, from the Asian giant, the main claim of these supports has been their price. However, the emergence of new trends and more demanding users, has forced the producers of these economic models to improve them at full speed.
In the race to offer somewhat more balanced products, obstacles that are difficult to overcome still appear. This does not prevent phablets such as U18, the new of Oukitel that can already be obtained in some places and about which we will tell you more below. Will 2018 be the year in which the cheapest ones can be definitively consolidated as alternatives or not?
Designer
In this sense, the most characteristic of the U18 is its metal casing to which are added small parts of zinc. The large battery means that the thickness does not show significant changes compared to what we are already used to seeing, staying in the 10 mm. It will be available in gold and black. With smooth edges, another of the highlights will be the great ratio between screen and body, higher than 85%. The fingerprint reader is on the back again.
Chinese mobiles that rely on the operating system
As we said before, the diagonal will have high dimensions. Specifically, it will stay in the 5,85 inches and it will totally squeeze the side edges. His resolution, of 1512 × 720 pixels, could be one of your weak points. To counteract this inconvenience, it comes with a 21: 9 format and five simultaneous pressure points. In the photographic section we find Sony, which has endowed cameras to this model. The lenses back they reach the 16 and 5 Mpx and the front at 13. A facial recognition system is added to the fingerprint reader. In terms of performance, this is the highlight: 4 GB RAM and initial storage of 64, processor manufactured by Mediatek that remains in peaks of 1,3 Ghz and Android nougat upgradeable to Oreo. Do you think it has small imbalances in aspects such as the speed it can reach?
Availability and price
The Oukitel U18 can be purchased from us on the company's website by 159 Euros. However, this has a nuance. From February 7, its price will rise to 179 Euros And within this promotional phase, there is another aspect to consider: The number of units that will have this discount will be limited: Only 999. What do you think about this phablet? Do you think that Oukitel will have a prominent place within the low cost or is there other more balanced supports?
