Oukitel is a new Chinese OEM with focus on build quality and battery life above everything else, both the K6000 and K1000 have massive batteries with unique reverse charge function so you can use them to charge other devices, but more importantly both phones have full metal construction and well thought design features, this thread will be focused on compiling information and news as well as reviewing both the K6000 and K10000 series, the product number stands for the battery size in mAh
While both K6000 standard is considered low in specification Oukitel will also release higher spec variants of the K6000 like the Pro version
Priced at around 120$ with dual SIM ability and excellent build quality the K6000 is great value as a travel phone or battery bank
I have already received my K6000 and K10000 (almost the same phone with even bigger battery and more rugged design / build) which I will impartiality review soon, please feel free to post your questions and don't forget to vote in my Poll above

Oukitel Shows K6000 Premium, Affordable Phone with 6,000mAh Battery
Aong dozens of phone producers, Oukitel isn’t particularly known. This Chinese brand tries to lure customers by offering some interesting and affordable devices. One of them is Oukitel K6000 Premium that is set to compete with the newest flagships without a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 CPU.
The Oukitel K6000 Premium will sport the high-flying MT6797 Helio X20 chipset, a powerful unit for the price. It’s worth noting that Mediatek wants to improve its image among users, so we hope this chipset will be updated to support an Android Marshmallow. K6000 Premium will also pack a 2K 5,5” AMOLED display and monstrous Li-Pro 6000 mAh battery. AMOLED is quite battery friendly and according to Oukitel, the phone will last up to three days per one charge. It’s a quite realistic result given the battery capacity, and in the box you will find a 9V 2A charger that is ready to charge the phone fast enough.
The phone uses the Sony IMX230 21MP for its primary camera and the Sony IMX219 8MP for the front camera — sensors seen on some high-end Android devices released earlier this year. The K6000 Premium will also have 4GB of RAM, but internal storage isn’t so great at 32GB. Luckily, you can extend it up to 128GB thanks to a microSD card slot.
Oukitel has three variants of K6000 available on the market – K6000, K6000 Pro and K6000 Premium. All the models feature the 6000mAh Li-po battery with quick charge technology, a “2.5D display”, and a metal back and frame with chamfered edges. Here’s a short comparison of them.
While we are still waiting to the Premium model to be officially announced for sale, you can get the standard version of K6000 for $119.99 at Gearbest. It’s a limited offer, so stay frosty!

K6000 Pro with mid range specifications coming in January 2016
Following the release of K6000 a few weeks ago, Oukitel is planning on the second upgrade version of K6000, K6000 Pro. The K6000 Pro has several specs upgraded to meet the mid-range demands, it includes the Display, Chipset, Memory, Camera and fingerprint scanner. The upgrades keeps up with today's mid-end smartphones' specifications.
The display of K6000 Pro uses Gorilla 3 material, 1920*1080P resolution, and 2.5D craftsmanship. The SoC is upgraded to MT6753 1.3GHz, and RAM is extended to 3GB. The phone also packs Sony imx 214 camera sensor, and the location of the primary has been changed to the top middle as you can see from the pictures above. Another major improvement is the fingerprint scanner below the camera. Also the smartphone offers 6000mAh massive battery capacity with 9V 2A quick charge technology. The phone is expected to be available at the beginning of January.
On the other hand, the budget friendly K6000 is now available from the online shops on Oukitel official website: http://www.oukitel.cc/english/stores/ The phone packs noteworthy specs at the price range that's tough to beat.
What price would you pay for the K6000 Pro?

I didn't give up on anything this is in a price range of its own but this year Android phones over 500$ certainly fail to meet their price range
it doesn't replace my flagship or my gaming needs, i have been using it more like a tablet
the k6000 premium with x20 certainly sounds very interesting though
I wrote about smoothness in the other thread, its surprisingly smooth the launcher at 60fps even floating video and the animation is 0.5x out of box

you want three slots? you mean three SIMs and one of them takes the SD? thats crazy as it will require more modems
but if you mean you want the SD card seperated well then i think you have a point, but its surely a cost and space saving measure, a lot of Chinese OEMs are applying this lately but in case of K6000 you can't really blame them, the device is under 150$ for pete sake

No, I am with you: I would like just 2 SIM and 1 SDXC. And the price tag is awesome! However, I would not mind to pay extra for this 2 SIM + 1 SD. If the K6KP would have such, I'd be already like "Shut up and take my money"

I picked middle ground but it is a very important feature to me - I would never get a phone with the battery soldered in. I want to have the option of a spare pack or, better, a beast like zerolemon.

New Android Phone Boasts 15-Day Battery Life: Meet Oukitel’s K10000 mAh Monster
A new Android smartphone is boasting a 10,000 mAh battery with 15 days of life. Check out the details on Oukitel's upcoming K10000 Android Phablet.
Smartphone battery life. It is truly the bane of modern life. While most of us are overjoyed when our phones make it over a day, what if you could get over a week of use without charging? This is the promise one company is making for its upcoming Android phone release. Meet Oukitel’s K10000 smartphone.
This Android smartphone gets its name from the 10,000 milliamp-hours ( mAh) battery power storage the smartphone boasts. While the average modern smartphone carries a battery with 1,500 – 3,000 mAh of battery power, the battery in the K10000 is over three times the amount of even the largest smartphone batteries.
According to a report by The Techoholic the phone is expected to get some 10-15 days. But comparing the battery capacity to other smartphones on the market, we’re a little more skeptical of that number. The K100000 has about 3 times the battery life of an iPhone 6S Plus, which lasts at best around 1.5 days. By comparison then, the K10000 would last roughly 5 days with regular usage beyond just phone calls.
Still, five days of battery life is nothing to blink at, and maybe something people who frequently travel or are distant from a charger, might consider. The Android phablet will be relatively affordable too. Priced at $239.00 US dollars and shipping out in January, it’s a backup device worth considering.
But, the larger question some may have is, how does the phone perform? What kind of specs are we looking at?
Quite honestly, the specs could be better but they aren’t terrible.
The Oukitel K10000 features a 5.5-inch (1280 x 720 pixels) HD IPS. It has a full steel frame that is 9 mm thick and weighs 184 grams. It is powered by a 1.0 GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6735 64-bit processor with Mali-T720 GPU, and comes with 2 GB of RAM. There are 16 GB of internal memory but you can expand up to 32 GB via microSD card. The operating system is Android 5.1 Lollipop. It is smart gestures capable and allows for Xender file transfer.
As far as the camera, it comes with a modest 8-megapixel rear primary camera with dual-tone LED flash. The front includes a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calling.
If you’re thinking the K10000 could be a good addition to your collection of devices, check out Gearbeast. You can purchase the K10000 there for $239.99. The phone ships Jan. 2.

the revert writer couldn't think for himself that the k10000 has much lower specs and under-clocked CPU compared to the iPhone 6s Plus and hence this why it lasts longer mAh for mAh
you can also see the grey/black K6000 in the video
but i must say Oukitel really need to take it easy on the cheesy stuff
.
Anandtech's Ian Cutress talks about his move from the HTC One Max to CUBOT H1, a very similar phone to the K6000 with 52000mAh
http://www.anandtech.com/show/9868/c...-test-5200-mah
keep in mind its almost the same specs as the K6000, except that it has smaller battery, more expensive and made of plastic
anyway thanks to this review, we have benchmarks of the MT6735P and 2GB DDR3 combo (Cubot H1) against other devices:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/9868/cubot-h1-smartphone-test-5200-mah/4
also check the battery stats at the end of this page which is slightly less than the K6000
So let's put it this way - the H1 on a full charge breaks the Geekbench3 test to the point that it thinks you are cheating. Oops.
With the PCMark test it gets over 15hrs compared to the 6hrs of the Galaxy S6. When you have a large battery and not many pixels to push, with the right efficiency the device will last a night out with only 25% left in the tank in the way that high end smartphones do not. Anecdotally, as I'm writing this, I just spent a few hours in meetings across the other side of London - I spent 30 minutes each way on the tube with Evernote open and being used (albeit with no wireless or updates), and the battery went down from 38% to 33%. That's an hour of solid writing with black text on white for at most 5% of battery.
When I first started using the H1, the graph on the left was my battery usage estimation. Saying ‘approximiately 4 days left’ is almost unheard of, but with a regular 10% screen on time, the result was the graph in the middle, successfully predicting four days of battery. On the right is another example of my use, although a little bit more aggressive with some charging. Yes, I can confirm that there seems to be something wrong with those percentage calculations. But a quick charge in airplane mode for a few minutes gives a few percentage points of battery – while a lot of smartphones offer quick charging for the capacity to fill quickly, it still depends on the capacity drain of the SoC. It helps to have the best of both worlds. Of course, the downside of this is that it can take 3hrs and up to fully charge the H1. The H1 does come with a cable so you can charge other devices though, as 5200 mAh matches some battery packs.

Final Words
I'll be brutally honest - while I keep a good tab on some elements of the smartphone market, more so on the business side, when it comes to deep dive analysis I leave it in the hands of Josh, Andrei and Brandon. That doesn't mean I don't need a device though, and despite their suggestions it seems I wanted a lot and wasn't prepared to spend the money. As a technical editor, my search for a smartphone caused a series of positive and negative feedback loops - some days I'd decide that DRAM was the most important, whereas others it would be the display resolution or the storage capacity. In the end it comes down to compromise and what is good and within range at the time I was looking. At one point I was adamant I wanted something more powerful than a Snapdragon 600 series, but I've ended up with a quad core MediaTek A53 device running at low frequency. There were some no-brainers – it had to be big enough and good enough to work on when I have short 20 minute public transport trips, and support dual SIM so I don’t have to keep losing my SIM card each time I travel.
The CUBOT H1 was the result of the search. It’s a smartphone that boasts 5200 mAh of battery, which is 3.4x the size of the battery in the iPhone 5c or 2x the battery in the Galaxy S6. When combined with the 1280x720 screen and the 1 GHz quad-core SoC, it gave 4 days of standard use battery which translated to 15 hours and 26 minutes on the PCMark battery test that runs from 100% to 20%, beating the Zenfone 2 by over nine hours. That is pretty much pre-2000 smartphone territory, more akin to what we used to have when playing games like Snake.
My smartphone use case has adapted over time – I want it to do work on. That means writing, switching between apps, being somewhat responsive, and always being available. The SoC means it doesn’t break any sort of record for performance, but ultimately so much of my use doesn’t require performance but rather latency in app switching and updates. Having enough memory to keep apps available means a lot, so moving up from 1GB to 2GB was a big enough change to notice, as well as the bump up to Android 5.1. The 16GB storage model is pretty basic, and the microSD compatibility is only at 32GB, rather than something bigger, and I know it will fill over time with the consistent photographing of my cats. But that is a risk that I’m going to have to take, or synchronize with Dropbox.
Without the silicone case that comes free with the phone, I will grant that despite the patterned edge, it does feel like the plastic the rear is made from, and arguably it slips out of the hand too easily. With the silicone case, it just feels like a smartphone with a case, which a lot of people use anyway. The raised power and volume buttons helps discern their location, and the fixed buttons is something I like to have on my device, even if it means giving up screen real estate.
It is clear that the cameras are not for taking glamour shots. But at a trade show, as long as you are in the front row, and have a second or two between shots, taking pictures of slides to work on later is good enough. To get a good shot taking advantage of the EIS though, you really need to use the burst mode which supports 40 shots at 13 MP each. The video is also an afterthought. That comes down to the price and what needs to be cut to meet that price. I purchased the device, brand new from Amazon, for £125 which translates to $160 pre-tax. Almost everyone I showed the phone to, probably due to the battery life argument, thought it was more expensive. The only people who guessed under (and only by $10) were a pair of senior ARM employees. But truth be told, I could buy four of these a year and it would still be cheaper than an S6. Of course, there are obvious caveats with that comparison.
I would say that this is going to be my phone for the next two years. But since I purchased it in October, two extra high end smartphones that others at AnandTech have tested have both landed on my desk for similar experiential testing. It almost seems sad to shelve the Cubot H1 immediately unless I adapt to carry two phones at once, with the H1 as that long-battery backup.

for some it will be too big, it is 6.3 inch
@Krystyna I disagree. I hate that the phone was publicized so much for having an 820, when all I really cared about is the giant screen. Why can't there be more 6+ inch screen phones in the US? I feel like there should be multiple sizes for each phones, while not compromising on features. Often times, features are dropped when it comes to devices getting smaller. I don't want small devices to disappear, but I also want larger devices *shrug*
Screen is so big!

Leaked News:
Bluboo Maya Max will feature the MediaTek MT6750, it is the mid-tier model of MediaTek LTE Cat-6 portfolio, helping the Maya Max to join the new-generation of cheap performance smartphones.
Hardware
The MT6750 from Maya Max outperforms previous MediaTek solutions in terms of power-efficiency and performance thanks to its octa-core CPU based on Cortex-A53 (4xA53 1.5GHz + 4xA53 1.0GHz), supported by the newer ARM Mali-T860MP2 (dual-core, clocked at 520MHz). In addition, the Maya Max packs 3GB of RAM to provide smoother experience and stable multitasking, and 32GB of ROM (expandable).
Network
On the modem side, the MT6750 features the MT6176 modem (4G Cat. 6 LTE) which also supports Carrier Aggregation, and maximum downstream speed of 300MBps. Also, it supports VoLTE, that allows to call directly using the 4G network, with high-quality audio and faster calling process. It improves 40% of the speech quality in comparison with the 2G or 3G network, and dropped call rate is almost inexistent.
Chassis
Maya Max will be made using an unibody aluminum alloy (they declare 6000 series), with higher hardness than common aluminum.
Fingerprint Sensor
It will also come with a last-gen fingerprint sensor, with a declared unlock time of 0.2s.

This isn't the Bluboo Maya thread, but the Bluboo Maya Max one. (different)
Bluboo Maya Max will be released in the near future. Now we finally know the accurate details of Maya Max’s Display.
Screen Size: 6-inch (Diagonal)
Resolution: 720 × 1280
Resolution Density: 245ppi
Contrast: 1500:1
Brightness: 550cd/m2
Viewing Angle: 178°
Maya Max will be shipped with JDI’s 6.0 inch HD TFT LCD display panel, JDI (Japan Display Inc.) is an LCD technology joint venture by Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi. It is one of the best TFT LCD suppliers of the world (the other two is LG and Sharp), due to their strong strength of display technology. Since 2011, JDI become a major supplier of displays for many big brands flagships such as Xiaomi or such.
It is very surprised that Bluboo choose JDI as their supplier to provide high quality enough for users. Although the screen resolution is just HD standard, lookin at the other specs of the screen, it has 1500:1 contrast, that is pretty high even compare to much high-end devices, combined with 178° viewing angle similar to Samsung’s AMOLED display. Also, a superb high 550cd/m2 brightness to ensure clear outdoor sunlight read ability.
In addition, JDI has a screen technology called WhiteMagic, it helps the display to feature an extra W (white) sub-pixel added to the RGB sub-pixels to improve display surface brightness transmittance or to reduce backlight power consumption. WhiteMagic analyzes image data inputted through the display driver IC in order to be converted into RGBW data and control the backlight. With the screen brightness setting equivalent to the level achieved with the traditional RGB display, WhiteMagic reduces backlight power consumption by as much as around 40% without deterioration in image quality.
Other information about the screen is that Maya Max will feature OGS touchscreen technology. This technology helps Maya Max’s display reduces thickness and reflection of light compared to regular GFF touchscreen technology.

Maya Max or Maya (without Max)?
Here comes another leak for the Maya Max. Sound Quality seems to not be ignored by Bluboo, so Maya Max will carry an upgraded version of audio management chip. It is used for independent audio decoding processing in order to be considered HiFi audio. Maya Max packs NXP’s Smart PA module, with the related audio amplifier made for Smartphones. NXP is a well-established company in the audio market so we can expect an outstanding quality speaker on Maya Max (probably similar to Ulefone Vienna).
Other leaks of Maya Max say that it has USB Type C port, IP63 Protection (Protected from total dust ingress and from water spray less than 60 degrees from vertical)
A nice specifications table of the device can be found on the bottom, and on my first post.
Bluboo Website: http://bluboo.hk/
The MediaTek MT6750, 3GB+32GB storage, 13MP Sony camera, 4200mAh battery, all are good. For the 6.0 inch display, you like big display?

Why Would Bluboo Maya Max Stand Out from the other Camera Phones?
Recently, increasingly numbers of smartphone manufacturers have focused their attention on the camera performance of devices, including Bluboo Mobile. It has been leaked that Bluboo will launch another camera smartphone Maya Max in August soon. It’s said that the Maya Max will come with extraordinary camera performance.
Since Bluboo has launched the full specs of Maya Max, according to the official information, Maya Max features an 8MP front camera and 13.0MP rear camera with custom-made Sony IMX 214 sensor. With high-resolution and Sony sensor, Maya Max could produce quite good color and pictures, satisfying people's needs for clear and vivid selfies.
As the second smartphone of the Maya lineup, Maya Max also comes with the custom-made beauty camera app, Bluboo Beautysnap, which offers a plenty amount of features. For instance, smart beauty, it could identify one’s face and age, then accordingly chooses the level of beauty, beautifying the skin more naturally. Besides, with “V“ gesture, smile, smart voice guidance features, there is no need to press the screen to capture a photo.
If the photos doesn't satisfy the user, then the various post-facial beauty mode might probably help. It is possible to edit and beautify photos again by choosing different facial makeup and editing effect. In celebrity mode, there is no need to choose several effect just for one image, a single touch on the preferred style, making it possible to transform into whatever celebrity you like. There are many funny and fashionable accessories including hairstyles, earrings, hairpins, etc...for the best creativity ideas.
Also, the design of dual rear flash will help to improve pictures quality in low-light condition, allowing users to enjoy photography in the best way possible.
Coming with MT6750 octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM, 4200mAh battery and 6.0 inch JDI display, the Maya Max not only inherits the merits of Maya, but also presents a considerable configuration upgrade. Maya Max will be released in August, with more surprises coming soon.
Bluboo Maya Max: the first Bluboo Smartphone with USB Type C
Actually, Type C that's not so uncommon for many of us. Quite a lot of smartphone manufacturers have equipped their devices with Type C interface. Bluboo Mobile will soon release Maya Max in August, the second in the lineup of Maya and the first Bluboo with USB Type C. With reversible USB Type C, you can easily plug in the cable without worrying about breaking the interface. It’s more convenient especially at night.
Aside from Type C, Maya Max also features advanced NXP Smart PA system which could control the vibration of the speaker through real-time status detection of the loudspeaker. The NXP Speaker not only outputs loud sound with high fidelity, but also greatly improves the low frequency sound quality.
We've known that Maya Max will be launched in August, many people are concerned about its price. We presume that the price won't be too high.
Bluboo Maya Max is designed with Mute Button
So far we have discussed the specs of the upcoming Bluboo Maya Max, instead of leaking the specs little by little, Bluboo exposed the full specs of Maya Max previously. It's officially confirmed that Maya Max comes with 6.0'' HD JDI display, octa-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB ROM, 13 MP rear camera with Sony IMX214 sensor, 8 MP front camera, 4200 mAh battery capacity with quick-charge, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, USB Type-C connector, 6000 series aluminum alloy frame and back case, dual SIM support and OTG. What’s worth mentioning is the NXP speaker available for the model, bringing stunning sound effect.
Today i got some officially confirmed info about the side keys of Bluboo Maya Max. Apart from the normal side keys including power keys and volume keys, Maya Max is designed with the mute button. It’s troublesome that one has to enter the settings to switch the device to silent mode, while with the mute button, one needs to do nothing but a single toggle. It’s more convenient and efficient.
Compare to Maya, it's obvious that Bluboo is trying to make the Maya Max a better one. They adopt new materials and technology, and add a few practical functions. Any progress of individual will result to the progress of the whole industry and society.
Waiting for more news about Bluboo Maya Max
Bluboo Maya Max Preview Video Has Been Released
Today Bluboo has released the first preview video of Maya Max. It gives us a good first look at the device before it's officially launched. Let's have a look together.
As the second smartphone in the Maya lineup, Bluboo Maya Max comes with an advanced Mediatek MT6750 CPU, featuring an octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, which brings more smooth and stable operation and guarantees more efficient and fluent multitasking experience and combined with ARM Mali-T860 GPU which makes much easier to process more complicated graphics and game.
Also the Maya Max packs 3GB of RAM, with much faster read and write rate, coupled with 32GB of ROM, large enough to satisfy your needs for storing tons of APPs, pictures, music and videos.
Regarding camera performance, it has a 13.0MP rear camera and 8.0MP front camera, enabling you to take professional level pictures. The customized Sony IMX214 sensor and quick focusing lens allow you to take fabulous pictures in a flash.
Max contains a Li-Polymer High-Density battery which is much thinner and secure than Li-ion battery. 4200mAh Battery ensures great battery life between charges. 4.35v battery core, high capacity, high pressure, helps to improve 15% of battery capacity compared with ordinary 4.2v battery core. The smart quick-charge provides 2 hours talk time in 5 minutes charging. Battery life is no longer an issue that bothers you any more.
Apart from the aforementioned specs, Maya Max also features a 6.0” HD JDI display, coupled with OGS technology, which brings sharper, richer visual experience with higher sensitivity and higher transparency. Whenever you are watching movies, playing games or looking at pictures, Max always delivers gorgeous colors and clear images. Moreover, Maya Max adopts double-layer ten-point touch panel, which is more accurate and sensitive. The new touch panel also supports wet-hand operation and glove mode.
The Maya Max also applies new technology and features: 4G LTE CAT6 technology, with maximum downstream speed of 300MB while the normal maximum downstream of basic 4G CAT4 is only 150MB. Also, you can also make high quality voice and video calls using VoLTE and enjoy a Studio-level Acoustic Feast with independent HiFi system and NXP speaker. Reversible Type-C, Dedicated Mute Button, One-Hand operation and 0.1s rear fingerprint identification altogether make Maya Max more multi-functional and practical.

I got the device some days ago and i must say that it looks amazing, unfortunately mine is faulty so i won't be able to review it yet, but its build quality is just impressive and it has a great quality speaker that i would not have expected from a device with a speaker in that position.
Just amazing. I hope to get as soon as possible the replacement so that i can start to review it and give you more useful information about it.
In the meanwhile, i'm testing its performance. Considering that it has an MT6750 that is, basically, an lower-powered MT6755 Helio P10 it's easy to see that it performs pretty well. It is extremely smooth, probably constant 60FPS everywhere in the UI. Don't forget that this device has a 720p screen, so the GPU doesn't have to handle too much work.
That's all for now. I'll probably post some photos about this unit, and be free to ask me any question about it, just do not ask me questions about its Camera and Mobile Network because mine has a faulty camera sensor and damaged radio module.
Don't worry, yours won't be faulty too haha. Mine was one of the first produced, so mass production might have skipped quality controls on my unit or mine was one of those who didn't passed all checks.
Just for those who want to know more technical information about the device, check this table i managed to get from the software. My device isn't running a finished/ready-to-use ROM, so this data may be inaccurate:
Rear Camera: Panasonic MN34150 (not sure about it, because there should be a Sony IMX214) with DW9714 lens.
Front Camera: GalaxyCore GC5024 (not sure about it, because there should be an OmniVision Sensor) with AD5820 lens.
Fingerprint Sensor: Goodix GF368M
DAC Chipset: NXP TFA9890
Screen: Himax HX8394D with RM68200 IC (not sure about it because there should be a JDI screen)
Battery Charging Chipset: ON NCP1854 (able to get up to 2.5A from the Charger)
Enabled but not working features: Gyroscope, NFC.

Leaked News:
According to new updates on OUKITEL official website, OUKITEL is starting a new device OUKITEL U15 Pro with 3GB RAM and 32GB RAM.
The upcoming OUKITEL U15 Pro is not the first device that packs 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM, but it is definitely unique.
It is designed to be a 5.5 inch super thin device with curved-side edges, just like the OUKITEL K7000. U15 Pro includes a 5.5 inch SHARP display running at resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels, a MediaTek MTK6753 Octa-core 1.3GHz chipset with Samsung 3GB of RAM, 32GB of onboard storage with 128GB expandable flash memory.
It also gets a fingerprint sensor which allows 0.1s screen unlock and a 3000mAh SCUD built-in Li-polymer battery. In the detailed images, U15 Pro will equip with a 16MP primary sensor on the back. It will run Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
The OUKITEL U15 Pro specs are already listed on OUKITEL official website: http://www.oukitel.com/products/u/u15-pro-55.html
OUKITEL U15 Pro is aimed to hit a competitive price with a good features ratio. They decided to make it among the world's most cost-effective Octa-Core smartphones.
U15 Pro gets a metal body with capacitive keys and arc glass design. It features a 5.5 inch HD LCD display by the brand SHARP. It is powered by MediaTek MTK6753 chipset (Octa-Core 1.3GHz ARM Cortex-A53 CPU with ARM Mali-T720 MP3 GPU). For better multi-tasking, it has been combined with 3GB of RAM, 32GB ROM and 128GB maximum expandable storage. (does it mean exFAT support?)
The fingerprint sensor on the back also gets additional functions other than providing security unlocking devices, just like almost all latest devices featuring it. It works also as a shutter button to take photos and as a switch to browse between photos while in gallery. It also works as a button to answer phone calls, play/stop playing music and videos.
On the back there is a 13MP camera, together with a 2MP front camera, but both cameras are interpolated to 16MP and 5MP.
To make it thin, it features a 3000mAh SCUD built-in Li-polymer battery which should be enough for one day use.
Also, it supports 2G, 3G and 4G networks, along with GPS, Bluetooth, FM radio and a/b/g/n WiFi. For almost-worldwide FDD LTE, it gets bands 1/3/7/8/20 support. More details for OUKITEL U15 Pro can be found on OUKITEL official website.
Presale for U15 Pro already started and normal delivery for will start at the end of October.
U15 Pro is designed to be 8.7mm as regards the thickness, while there will be another new device named as U15s that will be thinner than U15 Pro, only 7.1mm for the thickness and will have higher specs than U15 Pro too. It will be still Octa-Core, but running on MT6750 chipset. A dedicated thread for the U15s will be opened soon.

As the K10000S with 10000mAh battery is still in the project phase, OUKITEL still works on other devices. A good news is that their latest Octa-Core smartphone U15 Pro is about to start delivery within this week. Now OUKITEL U15 Pro is getting its first hands on video.
OUKITEL U15 Pro is a 5.5 inch HD smartphone with original SHARP from Japan. The battery is not as big as K10000S, but still gets 3000mAh battery for one day use. The battery is supplied by SCUD, which are 100% tested before shipment to ensure safety. It also features ergonomic design for the back to fit human hand perfectly. On the back it gets a fingerprint sensor, allowing fast unlock and private protection.
For the hardware, it carries MediaTek MT6753 Octa-core 1.3GHz chipset, 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM, 16MP primary camera and a 5MP front facing camera. It also designed a 3-color notification LED to get alerts for new messages and notifications. It still runs on Android 6.0 OS.
Detailed information about U15 Pro: http://www.oukitel.com/products/u/u15-pro-55.html
Plastic, glass, metal. What would you like as a smartphone material considering the touch feel in your hand?
What will it happen to these 3 different smartphones back cover?
Watch the video here, Samurai inside
In this video, these guys try to cut an OUKITEL U15 PRO and other 4 different smartphones with a knife, a Samurai Sword and Samurai Long Sword. Result unbelievable! Also K10000 participated in this video, used to knock the nails.
U15 Pro, together with U15S are both featuring aircraft aluminum metal alloy, making it a strong toughed smartphone.
Not too many manufacturers release Devices with Metal Back Cover because the signal is hard to adjust. OUKITEL managed to do so. To adjust the signal to this tough metal device, the OUKITEL Product Team worked for several months by testing it again and again, and finally they made the well designed U15 Pro and U15S.
OUKITEL U15 Pro is on pre-sale now, delivery starts from the end of this week. Users that have already pre-ordered it might get it soon.

I'll get it soon.
Introduction
This is the OUKITEL U15 Pro.
Hardware
Powered by a Mediatek MT6753 SOC clocked at 1.3GHz, the device might result a bit outdated, but trust me, this is the fastest MT6753 device ever made. You will know why soon. It features 3GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM and a 13MP Rear Camera, unfortunately interpolated to 16MP. Each built-in hardware is quality-made, made by Samsung, SHARP and SCUD.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with basic accessories, just like all OUKITEL devices: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/1A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x SIM Card Tray Eject Tool, 1x TPU Cover and the Smartphone (of course). A screen protector is already applied.
This is one of the first Q4 2016 device from OUKITEL made with an Unibody Metal Chassis, and just like all Metal Devices from OUKITEL, it feels super-solid and doesn't have any minor issue. Impressive. Antenna areas, located on the lower & upper parts of the device, are made of Plastic (otherwise the signal would be messed up).
It is 15.30x7.81x0.88cm, slightly larger than other 5.5 inches devices because its bezels are not so small. It weights 204g, considering the Unibody Metal Chassis this is just fine.
On the front side there is the common 2.5D Curved Display and the upper front side of the device features the standard set of things: a Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. Is the Notification LED here? Yes, it is. (RGB)
I won't talk about the Notification LED in the Software paragraph because it isn't customizable at all. Here you can see some real-life photos.
On the lower front side there is the Touch Keys area, with Menu, Home and Back touch buttons. Not Backlit.
On the back side there is the Unibody Metal Chassis, nothing to complain about it. Impressive build quality.
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor supported by a Dual-LED Flashlight (not Dual-Tone), and the compact, rounded, Fingerprint Scanner.
On the lower rear side there is just the OUKITEL logo, the Speaker is positioned on the lower side of the device.

Compared to other devices, the screen is a bit warmer than usual (just like all SHARP ones, interesting) and there is no MiraVision menu so you can't calibrate it. Color Accuracy is normal, with natural colors.
Light Sensor supports smooth light changes, this is its maximum brightness. One of the brightest 5.5" screens i have ever tried.
Viewing Angles are as good as you would expect from an IPS screen.
Camera
This is the first device i try with an OnSemi AR1337 13MP Sensor, that should feature PDAF and great image quality. Well...i can't say that image quality is great here. It is just average, with great photos only in ultra-high light conditions. I'm pretty sure that this is a software bug, so i hope to see a software update with many improvements. I have already installed the latest OTA update with the "Improve Camera Quality" words in the Changelog, but...it was useless.
"HDR off" on the left and "HDR on" on the right. HDR photos are just brighter, no real HDR.
Photos taken on medium light conditions are pretty noisy.
Macro Photos seems to be great, but as you can see the focus is a bit messed up.
As regards the Flashlight, it is pretty powerful, making my cat looking amazing. (just sleeping, as every cat do...)
As regards Video Recording, 1080p videos are average, a bit noisy though. Again, the software doesn't help here.
Front Camera is a Wide-Angle variant GalaxyCore GC2365, noisy (damn...) and provides a decent level of details enough for nowadays usage.
Audio
Speaker's Quality on this device, unlike previous OUKITEL devices, is much better, a good amount of low-frequencies are here (finally) and the Volume is medium-high. Well Done OUKITEL!
As regards the Microphone, it is super sensitive with no issues as regards its quality. Everyone was able to hear me correctly while in-call.
GPS
Considering that this is a Unibody Metal device, you (and me too) might expect lower GPS quality or accuracy. Well, i do not know how, but OUKITEL managed to find a solution to this drama. GPS Signal is high, even higher indoors (weird), and manages to lock satellites in less than 2 seconds.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
It seems that other chinese companies should hire OUKITEL engineers in order to get this result on other Full-Metal devices hehe.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
NOTE: If you see "WIND" (Operator Name) on some screenshots, that's my secondary SIM with no Mobile Data, Signal and Speed Tests are made using my Primary SIM Card. This is used only for minor tests.
OUKITEL provides full european bands support, with 4G Band 20 (some other Chinese Smartphones don’t have it). Unfortunately, even though the 4G signal is high and stable, somehow all speedtests done weren't able to get some nice results. Software Optimization is required.
3G Signal Reception is accurate too, actually I never managed to get connected to the 2G Network of my Mobile Operator because there was always some 3G Signal available. (luckily there are no coverage issues here)
As already said, 4G Network Speed is low, even though it highly depends on your Mobile Operator and mine isn’t pretty good, this doesn't mean that it is normal to get 3G Speed on 4G network. This is what happens on this device. 3G Network Speed is even lower.
WiFi 5GHz is supported here, and seems to work pretty well with my 802.11n Dual-Band Connection. It isn't able to get full speed (100/20), but it is still a bit higher than 2.4GHz speed. Connected to 54MBps, because it seems that the 5GHz antenna isn't pretty powerful.
Battery Life
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and it seems that the real battery capacity is much higher than the declared one. (declared 3000mAh, real ~3200mAh). All OUKITEL devices had (and still have) this nice extra-power.
This is the Geekbench Battery Test, the battery runtime is probably a bit low for a 3000mAh battery, but the Battery Score is higher than average so, it may be improved with future OTA updates.

As regards battery charging times, the 5V/1A charger isn't pretty good to handle 3000mAh batteries so expect more than 2 hours of Charging Time.
Software
As always, all OUKITEL devices features an almost completely clean Android 6.0 release providing a buttery smooth experience in almost all menus and apps, similar to Nexus/Pixel devices, even though there is some Mediatek stuff here.
Just like other last-gen Mediatek Devices, there are some typical features such as Gestures, Scheduled Power On/Off, etc…
Unfortunately, just like on ALL OUKITEL devices, there is no Compass/Magnetometer neither Gyroscope sensors. I have already gave to OUKITEL the advice to add at least the Compass Sensor on future devices, let's hope that they will hear it.
As already said before, even though there is a Notification LED, it isn't customizable at all.
The Fingerprint Scanner can be initialized as easy as on all Android 6.0 devices, and its accuracy is decent, not as perfect as was on the K7000, i might say 7/10. It is lightning fast though.
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.
3DMark – GPU Performance is highest than most MT6753, thanks to the HD-only screen.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is superb, comparable with high-end devices.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
Epic Citadel – 3D performance is great considering the outdated Mali-720MP3 GPU inside.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (4x Cortex-A53), multi-core score is impressive though.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – Well OpenGL 3.0 benchmarks are pretty intensive, and this is where an outdated GPU lacks power. OpenGL 2.0 tests provide better results though, still better than MT6737 with bugged GPU performance.
PCMark – Standard MT6753 Performance here, with some extra performance.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Unlike previous tests, there are no major performance gains compared to other MT6753 devices.
I have reviewed many MT6753 devices, and i have to admit that this is the only one (together with the UHANS S1, but it wasn't as fast as this one regarding eMMC performance) that managed to impress me. The UI is super smooth, there are no lags at all while scrolling pages (even heavy webpages), and it is still able to provide some nice horsepower to handle 3D games with no major lags even though everything is powered by an outdated MT6753 SOC.
Conclusions
It is hard to be disappointed with OUKITEL devices, it happened only one time with the U7 Plus, but it still wasn't a completely disappointment. And...this device is no exception. This is an impressive device, OUKITEL managed to get some extra-juice from the MT6753 SOC with a great result.
Even though the Camera isn't as optimized as i would have expected, everything else is almost excellent, especially considering its price.
So, do I recommend it? Yes, it is hard to find something better for the same price.

High Screen Brightness
Fast Fingerprint Sensor
Impressive eMMC Internal Storage
Quality-Made Unibody Metal Chassis
WiFi 5GHz Support
RGB Notification LED
