Oukitel has a tradition in making big battery phones
and its K Series is one of the best out there to offer super long battery
performance. After the release of the K12 that comes with a 10000mAh battery,
the Chinese manufacturer is ready to unveil the next-gen model in the Series,
Oukitel K13 Pro with 11000mAh battery.
Oukitel designed the K13 Pro from scratch in order
to make it unique and distinguishable from the rest of the Series’ devices. It
comes with a 6.41″ HD+ O-notch display covered by Asahi glass that is 2.5D
curved and prismatic cut. Thanks to the O-notch design, the bezels on the 3
sides are ultra-narrow and the screen/body ratio reaches 90.3%.
The earpiece was crafted though CNC and double
oxygenation and has a distinctive red color. The same red decoration is also
found around the volume and power buttons, rear cameras, LED flash, fingerprint
reader, and Oukitel logo. The back panel comes in 2 patterns: Genuine leather
and Kevlar.
Of course, the killer feature is the huge battery.
According to researches, there are about 3.3 billion smartphone users around
the world and users generally spend an average of 3.5 to 4 hours on their
phones every day, each week up to 28 hours. Using a smartphone so many hours
means that a big battery is essential since finding a power outlet when on the
go is a no-go. According to the company, the K13 Pro can offer 41 hours of
phone calls, 54 hours of music playback, 14.5 of video playback or 11 hours of
gaming. In real-life scenarios, this means about 3 to 4 days of heavy use on a
single charge. With a more conservative use, you can achieve a whole week.
Having a massive battery means that fast charging is
the most important thing since it can take hours to recharge. The 5V/6A fast
charge will recharge the K13 Pro in just 2 hours and 20 minutes. It gains about
1% per minute from 0% to 60% so even if you forget to charge it during the
night, you can give it a quick 30-60 minutes charge and you are good to go for
the whole day.
As for the rest of the hardware, it comes with
MediaTek’s Helio P22 8-core SoC manufactured @12nm, backed by 4GB of RAM and
64GB of storage, expandable up to 128GB more via the microSD slot. In addition,
there is a dual rear camera with 16MP/2MP sensors as we as an 8MP selfie
shooter. It supports both fingerprint and face unlock and you can use the NFC
to make mobile payments.
The device will hit the market in early November
with a retail price of US$ 189.99. during the 11.11 Global Shopping Festival on
Aliexpress, it will be available for just US$ 179.99.
