OUKITEL K12



Oukitel K12 made its debut during the Global Sources Electronics Exhibition back in February and today, the Chinese manufacturer announced the official market launch of the phone. The K12 is coming to offer a huge, 1000mAh battery together with fast charging support as well as other respectable hardware specs and it is available at a discounted price until June 17th on Oukitel’s Official Store.

No matter the hardware of a smartphone, if it sports a huge 10000mAh battery, it will last long no matter what. If you combine that battery with the power conservative Helio P35 SoC, then you have the Oukitel K12 that can last up to one week of use on a single charge, with standby time reaching up to 31days. And if you are a video lover, then you can watch your favorite videos at max brightness and volume for 14.5 hours continuously. Of course, the music playback lasts far longer, up to 54 hours while gaming can keep you company for 11 hours.

As always, there are no miracles happening nowadays so a battery this big takes a long time to recharge. For that reason, Oukitel reduced this time to a minimum by offering a 5V/6A quick charger in the box. Compared to a 9V/2A quick charger, it saves up to 2 hours charging time. OUKITEL Lab compared the charging speed of the K12’s 5V/6A charger to the 9V/2A found in Honor 8X Max that sports a 5000mAh battery. The battery of Oukitel K12 is double than the one found on Honor’s device, yet it takes almost the same time to fully charge both devices. It took Oukitel K12 just 2 hours and 15 minutes to charge the 1000mAh battery while its opponent needed 2 hours and 25 minutes! Check out the video below to see for yourselves.

Oukitel K12 comes with a 6.3″ FHD+ display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio, offering high color contrast and color saturation for images and videos. It also sports fingerprint and grease resistance thanks to the anti-fingerprint oleophobic coating. As for the back panel, it comes with a leather texture back cover for a luxurious hand feel and visual effect. Moving on to the hardware, it is powered by the highly efficient Helio P35 octa-core SoC backed by 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The Helio P35 outperforms its predecessor by up to 38%, delivering a smooth experience and ample storage. Helio P35 is manufactured by 12nm process and the GPU is the GE8320 clocked at 680MHz.

Of course, the K12 couldn’t come with anything less than a dual rear camera. And it is a good one too as it features a Sony 16MP sensor accompanied by a 2MP secondary one. It supports face beauty mode, bokeh mode, Mono mode, Pro mode, and Amusing funny scene shoot. The selfie shooter gets an 8MP sensor placed in the waterdrop notch, offering wide-angle group selfies.

Oukitel K12 is another great example of the company’s capacity and experience in delivering big battery phones at a cost-effective price. It supports many WCDMA and 4G bands and can be considered to be a global phone. During the presale that ends on June 24th, you can grab yours for just US$ 239.99 on Aliexpress.
