My Unboxing & First Look (Italian Language comment)

Arrived yesterday for me. Great phone but i did not find backlight and notification led. Am i missing something?

This is also a comparative video between K6000 Pro and other two hot smartphones with similar specs (Italian comment):
@zenix123456: no backlight and no notification led on K6000 Pro

Review
Introduction
Following their previous battery-phone flow, OUKITEL decided to upgrade their well-made K6000 with major differences. The OUKITEL K6000 is entirely based on its previous model, but with an upgraded CPU, increased RAM/ROM, a better screen and some other minor differences. Somehow they have removed the Notification LED, but they have added an useful Fingerprint Sensor. They probably had to remove something in order to keep its price low.
This is the OUKITEL K6000 Pro

Hardware
This device is powered by a Mediatek MT6753 SOC clocked at 1.3GHz, with a plenty amount of RAM (3GB) and ROM (32GB). It shares the same Rear Camera sensor used by the Huawei P8 Lite (13MP OmniVision OV13850), not bad at all, while the Front Camera sensor is an excellent 5MP OmniVision OV5670. Another interesting hardware component on this device is the Screen, it is made by AUO and provides an excellent viewing experience, with superb brightness and color reproduction. Follow my next paragraphs to know more.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with many accessories: 1x TPU Cover (transparent), 1x Screen Protector (Plastic-made), 1x SIM/MicroSD tray Eject Tool, 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x OTG Cable, 1x 5V/7V/9V USB Quick Charger, 1x Manual and the Smartphone (of course). No Headset included.
Just like the K6000, also the K6000 Pro has a Metal Chassis, with a Metal Back Cover. The device feels absolutely solid, it doesn’t feel too heavy too even if there is a 6000mAh battery inside. All is supported by a nice design.
It is just 15.5x7.8x1.04cm, not so slim, but don’t forget that there is a 6000mAh battery inside, and it weights 214g, not so much.
On the front side there is the 2.5D Curved Display, that makes the usage of the device much more ergonomic. The Glass is enclosed in a Plastic Frame, which increases the device’s toughness, while the upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. Unfortunately No Notification LED is here.
On the lower front side of the device there are the Soft-Keys Navigation Buttons (not retro-illuminated).
On the back side there is metal back cover, but on the upper and lower sides of the back cover there are two plastic covers, probably used for the antenna stuff.
The upper rear side of the device features a slightly protunding Camera supported by a Dual-Flash (Single Tone) configuration, and the small rounded Fingerprint Scanner.
The lower rear side of the device features the Brand Logo and the Speaker hole.
Unlike some other Chinese Smartphones, the SIM Card/Micro-SD tray has been well designed to allow the usage of a Micro-SIM and a Micro-SD without having to replace your SIM with a Nano variant. So you can use a Micro-SIM and a Micro-SD in the same time.
Device
Screen
OUKITEL, even if they do not declare it, choose an high-quality IPS screen on this device, made by AUO. Probably one of the best screens I have ever tried, with a nice balance between brightness and image quality.
Brightness is great, without no issues at all under direct sunlight. The Light Sensor works great too, and supports smooth light changes making auto-brightness much better.
About Viewing Angles, the screen doesn’t suffer any kind of issue, it behaves perfect in every single condition.
Camera
Even if the Rear Camera has some of the best technical specs available as regards mid-high end sensors, the camera software hasn’t been optimized at all. Even if you play with the settings, you won’t be able to take photos with no noise or with just low noise, you’ll always take extremely noisy photos that doesn’t look pretty well. OUKITEL, please work on it because this Camera Sensor can work much better.
As you can see, HDR makes photos brighter just like it should.
Flashlight is extremely powerful, unfortunately it isn’t dual-tone, but it helps a lot in almost every condition.
As regards Video Recording, there are no major issues. 1080p videos (Video Quality – Fine) are recorded with a decent level of details, just remember that there is no OIS so you can’t expect stable videos.
V Just check my sample here V
Front Camera is good, probably better than rear camera as regards noise level.
Audio
Speaker isn’t loud, a bit poor as regards its power, it lacks low-frequencies but there are no issues with Sound Clarity. You can’t expect more for this price.
Unfortunately, it is positioned on the back, and, as I have already said for many other devices, if you place the device on a table you could experience volume issues, but this doesn’t mean that it is a bad thing. As always, what matters here is the quality.
Nothing negative to say about the in-call/telephony quality.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
Thanks to the 4G Band 20 support (some other Chinese Smartphones don’t have it), I’m almost always and everywhere connected to the 4G Network of my Mobile Network Provider (TIM Italy).
Also 3G Signal Reception is accurate, actually I never managed to get connected to the 2G Network of my Mobile Operator because there was always some 3G Signal available.
4G Network Speed is decent, it highly depends on your Mobile Operator and mine isn’t pretty good. While 3G Network Speed, is just fine.
This is a Speed Test taken using my poor 4G internet connection, unfortunately I won’t be able to show a better one. (poor mobile network operator)
There is no WiFi 5GHz support here, but WiFi 2.4GHz speed isn’t extremely low, I managed to get connected to my network connection at 65mbps, and Speed Tests reach more or less 40mbps.
Battery Life
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and as you can see it is almost correct. (declared 6000mAh, real almost 5850mAh)
I’m able to reach more than 10 hours of screen-on time with everything on (Sync, Location, 4G, WiFi…), and this GeekBench Battery Benchmark made without 4G on (only WiFi), confirms it.
If you are worried about charging times, you don’t have to. OUKITEL provides a Quick Charger (with MTK Pump Express Plus tech.), similar to Qualcomm’s Quick Charge tech., that allows you to charge the device completely in more or less 2 hours.
Software
OUKITEL choose to use an almost completely clean Android 6.0 release and it works much better than many other devices I have tried. It offers the same Nexus experience, just with some add-ons that you can choose to enable or not.
Just like other last-gen Mediatek Devices, there are some typical features such as Gestures, Scheduled Power On/Off, etc…
The UI is extremely responsive and smooth, with no lags at all (except the screen rotation animation). I didn’t managed to find any software issue, so...well done OUKITEL!
As regards the Fingerprint Scanner management, it can be configured via the Settings apps and it can be configured easily, unlike other Android 5.1 devices. Also, it gets unlocked pretty fast without major accuracy issues (it isn’t perfect, but pretty good).
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 3, GFXBench, AndroBench, PCMark (Work & Storage) and Vellamo (Browser & CPU Tests) 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 isn’t extremely good, OpenGL 3.1 & 3.0 tests require lots of power, and this is where almost every mid-range GPU falls. OpenGL 2.0 tests are pretty good though.
Other 3DMark tests can be found on my Imgur album linked at the bottom of the thread.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance seems to be decent, especially as regards Reading Speed. Writing Speed isn’t as good as other devices though, but still good.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmarks, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
Epic Citadel – As you can see, 3D performance isn’t so high, but still enough for almost all games.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (8x Cortex-A53), enough to handle almost every type of activity. It could have been better though.
GFXBench– GFXBench score is low, but you can’t expect something better with this CPU.
PCMark – As you can see, only Writing score is a bit low. Pretty good.
Work
Storage
Vellamo
Browser score is probably lower than expected.
The same for the CPU score. Multicore score is nice though.
Performance could have been better, but i’ll wait next OTA Updates to express a final opinion about it.
Conclusions
Even if there are some issues with the Camera Software, everything else is almost perfect, so I can clearly say that if you need a device that features an huge battery and has high-quality components inside, then this is probably the best choice.
Just because I know that this device could work even better, please stay tuned to this thread so that if I manage to find any improvement with the next OTA updates, I will specify them and update the review.
Pros:
High-Fidelity & Bright Screen
Battery Life
Lightweight
Cheap
Cons:
No Notification LED
Camera Software (needs huge improvements to reduce noise)
A bit Heavy

CUBOT S500/S550 - Information & Reviews - 5.0"/5.5" HD | MT6735 | 2GB | 16GB | Glass

CUBOT S500/S550 - Information & Reviews - 5.0"/5.5" HD | MT6735 | 2GB | 16GB | Glass
Introduction
With the diffusion of Devices with Fingerprint Scanner, also CUBOT choose to release three devices featuring it (S500, S550, S600). All devices have almost the same characteristics, but each one is made for a specific user. Luckily I had the possibility to review both devices, so i’ll show you also a nice comparision.

This is the CUBOT S500 on the left and its big-brother CUBOT S550 on the right.
Hardware
Both devices features a mid-range SOC, MT6735, that is able to handle every daily task without major issues. RAM isn’t extremely high, 2 GB, but still enough to handle almost everything. Of course these devices aren’t made for gaming, I find them business-focused because they are extremely elegant, especially the Black variant.
Unboxing
On both devices, packaging comes with some accessories: 1x Plastic Cover (already applied to the device), 1x Screen Protector (Tempered Glass) with Wipes, 1x SIM/MicroSD tray Eject Tool, 1x Micro-USB Cable (really nice quality), 1x 5V/1A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide and the Smartphone (of course). No Headset included.
As always, CUBOT has focused its attention on the design, the device is pretty slim and feels solid, even if there is a little key rattle. I find this design pretty innovative and clean.
The S500 is 14.4x6.8x0.7cm and weights 174 g, while the S550 is 15.4x7.8x0.7cm and weights 203 g. Weight has been impacted a bit due to the Back Glass cover, but nothing extremely heavy.
On the front side there is the 2.5D Curved Display. On 5 inches smartphones this feature is pretty rare, really nice. The glass is enclosed in a Plastic Frame, while on the upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. Unfortunately there is no LED here. The lower front side of the device there are the Soft-Keys Navigation Buttons (not retroilluminated).
On the back side, there is a 2.5D Curved Glass, just like the front glass, and a Fingerprint Scanner.
The upper rear side of the device features a small Camera supported by a Single Flashlight, and the Fingerprint Scanner.
The lower rear side of the device features a noticeable Brand Logo, some little words about the Device and the classic Speaker hole.
Both devices are identical, except for the Keys Position. As you can see, on S550 all keys are on the right side, while on S500 there is a Power Button on the right and the Volume Keys on the left. Don’t ask me why, I would like to know it too. Chassis is Slim and Well-Built.
Device
Screen
Both devices have an IPS Screen, and CUBOT decided to adopt OGS Technology in order to reduce the space between the screen and the glass.
Screen Quality isn’t the best that I have ever seen, but Colors and Brightness are decent, especially on S500, its brightness is just awesome.
I have used my Galaxy S4 Light Sensor to measure CUBOT S500 (left) & S550 (right) maximum brightness. I don’t have a professional Lumen Meter, so this (Lux) is the only value that I can provide you.
About Viewing Angles, both screen behaves pretty well, but, especially on S500, it tends to lose colors if you try to watch it upside down.
Image Contrast and Saturation are pretty accurate, with Natural Colors and excellent White reproduction.
Camera
On both devices Back Camera (OmniVision OV8865) seems to work pretty good, but the resolution is interpolated to 13mpx (Camera Sensor is just 8mpx) and, just like almost all Chinese Smartphones, the noise level is a bit high. If CUBOT works a bit more on the Camera software, I’m pretty sure that Photos Quality will be improved.
Without HDR, and in Medium Light conditions, Photos aren’t pretty bad.
The Flashlight, even if is Single, seems to provide enough light (probably also too much) to support low-light photos.
About Videos, there is no Optical Stabilization here, but Software Stabilization (if enabled) does its job (but producing that famous fisheye effect), and there are no major issues here too. Maximum Supported Resolution is 1080p (named as Video Quality – Fine). I can say that this is enough for standard medium quality videos, do not expect ultra-high quality.
Front-Facing Camera seems to be decent, but i don’t know if resolution is interpolated to 8mpx or not, anyway Photos are pretty good. Here you can find a comparision between front (left) & back (right) camera.
Maximum Supported Video Resolution is 720p, and Quality is just fine as you would expect from a Front-Facing camera.
Audio
Speaker is loud, with a decent level of Bass and Clarity.
I have measured its loudness using my Galaxy S4 Microphone, here you’ll see its maximum power.
Unfortunately, it is positioned on the back, and, as I have already said for the CUBOT H2, if you place the device on a table you could experience volume issues, but this doesn’t mean that it is a bad thing. As always, what matters here is the quality.
In-Call Quality seems to be pretty good, as is on the CUBOT H2 that I have previously reviewed, so I can only say that all CUBOT devices features a great Call Quality and they use good quality speakers for the Earpiece and Microphone. Well Done CUBOT!
Telephony and Mobile Network
Thanks to the 4G Band 20 support (some other Chinese Smartphones don’t have it), I’m almost always and everywhere connected to the 4G Network of my Mobile Network Provider (TIM Italy).
Also 3G Signal Reception is accurate, actually I never managed to get connected to the 2G Network of my Mobile Operator because there was always some 3G Signal available. A good quality Antenna has been used.
4G Network Speed is decent, it highly depends on your Mobile Operator and mine isn’t pretty good. While 3G Network Speed, is just fine. (MT6735 supports maximum 21.1mbps)
Battery Life
Battery Life seems to be decent for the battery. On both devices I managed to reach more or less 5 hours of Screen-On Time, with Wi-Fi, 4G, Location & Sync ON on the GeekBench Battery Test.
CUBOT S500 has a declared battery capacity of 2700mAh while the S550 has a declared battery capacity of 3000mAh, and I can confirm that this is real. Just take a look at my USB Tester. It is even a bit higher than declared.
Software
CUBOT choose to use a completely clean Android 5.1 release and all seem to work fine. Basically it seems a Nexus Device. The only customized part of the OS is the Recent Apps screen. It included a Task Killer button and a Used/Free RAM Indicator. It works extremely well.
Just like other last-gen Mediatek Devices, there are some typical features such as Gestures (Somatosensory), Scheduled Power On/Off, etc…
The UI is always responsive and smooth, with no lags at all. It’s nice to see that a Chinese company focuses its attention on the software, and I can confirm this because they are also providing frequent OTA Updates for their models.
As regards the Fingerprint Scanner management, it can be configured via the Settings apps and configuration is extremely fast.
CUBOT declares that the Screen can be unlocked in more or less 0.3s using the Fingerprint Scanner, but I have to say that it isn’t true. It takes almost 2 seconds to get unlocked.
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 3, GFXBench, AndroBench, PCMark (Work) and Vellamo (Browser & CPU Tests) 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. I’ll show you CUBOT S550 benchmarks because S500 shares the same hardware.
3DMark – GPU Performance isn’t extremely good, OpenGL 3.1 & 3.0 tests require lots of power, and this is where the GPU falls.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance isn’t pretty good, especially as regards Writing Speed.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmarks, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
Epic Citadel – As you can see, Gaming performance isn’t extremely low, there is enough power to handle games without major issues, you just won’t get ultra-high framerates.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (4x Cortex-A53), decent for daily tasks.
GFXBench – Well...GFXBench score is low, really low. This benchmark suite is even more heavy than 3DMark, so you can’t expect a better score here.
PCMark – As you can see, only Video Playback score is a bit low. Pretty good.
Vellamo
Browser score tends to be a bit lower than expected, but Chrome score is just behind another device with an Octa-Core CPU, so this isn’t something that should be ignored.
The same for the CPU score, the device is just behind others with Octa-Core CPUs.
Summaring all results, I can say that this device provides enough power to handle daily tasks and light gaming. You can’t expect more from a Mediatek MT6735 CPU. (even the newer model CUBOT H2 has exactly the same performance, and shares the same CPU)
Conclusions
As I have already said for the CUBOT H2, unlike most of all Chinese companies, CUBOT publishes CE, FCC & ROHS certificates about each device, so if you’re interested about CUBOT devices safety, you can just go here: http://www.cubot.net/support/ and read them. This is something rare to find in China, and it makes you think how much a company is interested in foreign markets where Safety comes first. This doesn’t mean that China isn’t interested in Safety, but there are many users that want to know SAR Values, Certificates and so on about a Smartphone before buying it, so this is something pretty useful.
(e.g. CUBOT H2)
Summarizing all results, it’s hard to express an opinion. Both devices are good, and you choose your preferred Screen Size, but they are part of the mid-low range of Smartphones. The lack of a Notification LED and just 2 GB of RAM can’t be ignored, but there is a enough fast Fingerprint Sensor that could be helpful for some kind of users. So...do I recommend it? Yes and no. If you don’t need to use heavy apps and if you have a limited budget, then it is ok otherwise buy the latest CUBOT H2 that is absolutely awesome, even if it lacks a Fingerprint Sensor.

Advice: DO NOT DROP your CUBOT S550 without a TPU Cover, otherwise you'll risk to broke it. I have dropped mine from my chair (so more or less 60cm of height) and the whole screen glass broke up even if there was a Tempered Glass applied on the screen. Luckily it is still working, only the glass is broken.

Is root possible for S500 ?? Have until now only a TWRP for s550 found.

Root is possible
Use Kingo-root! Not King-root!

Mod edit by @Darth : Link to video containing selling site links removed. No more like this please.

Review from me too
Hey everyone,
I bought my own Leagoo Alfa 2 too, in golden color. A few things and thoughts which you should know before buying:
Pro
- backplate Ion Touch Technology: you can turn it off at all, if it disturbs you, but its worth using it to shoot photos (selfies mainly). However, when using the phone for general stuff, it can be quite disturbing. Waking with double tap on it work crappy, it doesnt recognize double tap many times. I like the function however.
- front side LED flash: its not very strong, but it certainly helps a lot when you have low lights around.
- Leagoo Xender app: you can connect the phone with a PC, Mac, or WP in less than a minute. I dont even understand, why this app is not part of the marketing, it's one of the best apps, I've ever senn. You get a complete file manager through your browser on PC. I dont use cables since I found this app.
- Leagoo OS 1.1: based on Android 5.1 its quite fast until you download all your favourite apps, and pack a lot of things on the phone. Then it can start thinking quite a lot at more hardware demanding operations. For example, when you have more apps running in the background, and you press home button, first you see no app icons, then it starts loading them on the screen one by one. This takes about 2 seconds at most, but still. Otherwise the OS is quite nice, I like it.
- Nice screen, sensitivity and colors.
- No SIM-plate, so you can use 2 microSIM cards and a microSD card at the same time.
- 16GB ROM.
- its cheap
Contra:
- weak battery: screen on time is only a few hours at most.
- very bad camera quality on both sides. However there is a flash on the front side to make selfies, the cameras shoot quite low quality photos.
- Weak hardware, high consumption compared to this.
- Backplate feels crappy and weak.
Conclusion: I'd still recommend the phone, if you need a front side flash, or dont want to buy a more expensive one, or if you like new things like Ion Touch Technology, and the Xender app. Some photos of my stuff:
You can reach the whole album here. And a few previews here:

Introduction
Low-End smartphones are nowadays common in the Chinese market, but LEAGOO with the Alfa 2 managed to create a nice compromise by adding some features that almost all other low-end smartphones are missing.
This is the LEAGOO Alfa 2.
Hardware
The device features a low-end SOC, MT6580, that is just enough for basic tasks and for ultra-light gaming. Also the RAM isn’t high, just 1 GB, reducing multitasking efficiency. But, there is also something that can’t be considered as low-end. Rear Camera is a Sony IMX219 (13mpx), Soft-Touch keys are retroilluminated and there is a nice TouchPad on the back. Maybe we shouldn’t consider it a real low-end device, should we? Follow my next paragraphs to know more.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with some accessories: 1x Screen Protector (Plastic) with Wipes, 1x SIM/MicroSD tray Eject Tool, 1x Headset (not in-ear, but still better than nothing), 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/1.5A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Warranty Certificate and the Smartphone (of course).
LEAGOO choose to give to the device a nice and clean design, similar to devices with Metal chassis, but this is made of Plastic. It feels pretty solid though, even better than my Galaxy S4.
The Alfa 2 is 14.4x7.3x0.7cm and weights 149 g. A compact device that can be handled easily in your hands.
On the front side there is the 2.5D Curved Display. On 5 inches smartphones this feature is now becoming pretty common. The glass is enclosed in a Plastic Frame, while on the upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing Camera supported by a Flashlight, an Earpiece and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors.
The lower front side of the device there are the Soft-Keys Navigation Buttons (retroilluminated), and the Home Button (circle key) works as a Notification LED. Sincerely i love this feature, I hope that also other smartphones from LEAGOO will have it.
On the back side, there is the Plastic back cover. The upper rear side of the device features a slightly protunding Camera supported by a dual-tone flashlight, and a particular TouchPad used to interact with the UI.
The lower rear side of the device features a noticeable Brand Logo and a large Speaker hole.
Chassis is Slim and well-built with all keys on the right side. There is no key rattling here.
Device
Screen
The device has an IPS Screen made by Himax, and it seems to be pretty good. Screen Brightness is decent, good enough to be used under direct sunlight.
I have used my Galaxy S4 Light Sensor to measure its maximum brightness. I don’t have a professional Lumen Meter, so this (Lux) is the only value that I can provide you.
About Viewing Angles the screen behaves pretty well, one of the best screen I have ever tested as regards this area.
Image Contrast and Saturation are accurate, you can use the MiraVision menu to customize this values.
Camera
Back Camera (Sony IMX219) seems to work pretty good, but, just like almost all Chinese Smartphones, the noise level is a bit high. As I always say, if a company works a bit on the Camera Software this issue can be easily fixed.
With (left) & Without HDR (right), photos under direct sunlight aren’t pretty bad.
Flashlight works pretty well on both sides. Yes, this device has also a front flashlight.
Back Camera
Front Camera
About Videos, there is no Optical Stabilization here. Maximum Supported Resolution is 1080p (named as Video Quality – Fine). Even if it reaches 1080p, quality isn’t good, the software needs to be optimized a lot.
Audio
Speaker isn’t extremely loud, lacks low-frequencies but there are no issues with Sound Clarity.
Unfortunately, it is positioned on the back, and, as I have already said for many other devices, if you place the device on a table you could experience volume issues, but this doesn’t mean that it is a bad thing. As always, what matters here is the quality.
Nothing negative to say about the in-call/telephony quality.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
Being a low-end device, there is no 4G support. 3G Signal Reception is accurate though, with no issues at all with Mobile Data speed or Signal Stability.
Built-in Wi-Fi supports 2.4GHz networks, and using my Home internet connection I managed to get decent speed. (I have a 100/20 VDSL connection, WiFi gets connected to 135mbps – probably not real -)
Battery Life
Battery seems to be enough to get at least one day of medium-usage, unfortunately PCMark crashes after a long while (probably due to low RAM).
This is the GeekBench Battery Benchmark result: https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/298994
Anyway, built-in Battery Real Capacity seems to be a bit lower than declared value (2600mAh vs 2313mAh).
Software
Almost everything has been customized. LEAGOO OS, based on Android 5.1, seems to have some nice features that help users to enjoy Android even better. (just like Xiaomi does with its MIUI ROM). I’ll show you some customized parts of the system with some screenshots.
Just like other last-gen Mediatek Devices, there are some typical features such as Gestures, Scheduled Power On/Off, etc…
The UI is always responsive, but there is a serious software issue. Screen Refresh rate has been set to 43hz, so the device doesn’t fell smooth at all. I have already asked LEAGOO to fix this bug, because using the device with this Refresh Rate causes headaches. It is like slow motion.
As regards the Rear TouchPad management (called Ion Smart Touch), it can be configured via the Settings apps and its configuration is extremely user-friendly.
Even LED Notification Light can be configured easily. You can even disable the Hall Sensor if you are using a Flip Cover.
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 3, GFXBench, AndroBench and PCMark (Work) 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. I won’t be able to show you Vellamo benchmarks because this device isn’t able to handle it. (low RAM issues, it keeps crashing after some minutes)
3DMark – GPU Performance isn’t too bad, but you have to consider that there is no OpenGL 3.0 support here so only OpenGL 2.0 tests can be executed.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is much better that expected, pretty good considering the low-end SOC.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmarks, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
Epic Citadel – As you can see, Gaming performance isn’t extremely low, there is enough power to handle games without major issues, you just won’t get ultra-high framerates. Consider also that there is the screen refresh rate bug that limits FPSs to 43 maximum.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (4x Cortex-A7).
GFXBench – GFXBench result is….ultra-low. You have to forget heavy games on this device.
PCMark – Except for Video Playback Score, it isn’t pretty bad.
Summaring all results, I would have expected lower performance but I was wrong. Device’s performance is good enough for basic tasks, and it can be used also for some light gaming without having to deal with major issues.
Conclusions
This is my first time that I have to express an opinion about a low-end device. LEAGOO managed to add some mid-range features on a cheap device, something pretty rare to find nowadays.
I can recommend it if you want a cheap, but complete, device for basic usage.
Pros:
Sharp and Bright screen
Thin bezels
Decent Sound Quality
Lightweight
Cheap
Cons:
Declared battery capacity doesn't match real capacity
Serious Software bug regarding Screen Refresh Rate
It doesn’t come with Android 6.0
Camera Software needs huge improvements

Very informative review Alberto96. Have you had a chance to hear if Leagoo fixed the screen refresh rate? Latest firmware is from July 15 but as usual there's no information on what has been fixed. Would also like to hear how you experienced the RAM issues, say if all a user will do is take photos, calls, text and really not much else the RAM will be fine? Thanks for feedback.

Unfortunately no, it seems that it has been abandoned leaving more space to new devices such as the T1.
RAM Issues are here while running benchmarks or using heavy websites with Chrome. Normal usage doesn't seem to be affected too much.

Review (Part 1)
Introduction
UPDATE 20170125: I got the final retail unit (engineering sample before) so some parts of the review have been updated.
This is the UHANS U300.
Hardware
Powered by a Mediatek MT6750T SOC clocked at 1.5GHz, this is the fastest device ever released by UHANS, and it might be the best one ever released. You will know why soon. It features 4GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM and a 13MP Rear Camera, unfortunately interpolated to 16MP. Also, it is rated IP65.
Unboxing
Packaging here is weird. An huge package, that might look premium, but in reality it is almost empty. Basic accessories are included: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/2A USB Charger, 1x SIM Card Tray Eject Tool, 1x User Manual and the Smartphone (of course). A plastic screen protector is already applied, no glass screen protector included unlike previous UHANS devices.
Here you can see how big, and empty, the package is.
Talking about the Chassis, it is great. I like the design, as UHANS says this is Mercedes-Benz inspired device, and the build quality is higher than average. No imperfections noticed, unlike what happened with the engineering sample, and the device feels rocking solid.
In order to be IP65-compliant, every single port should be insulated, and here you can see the waterproof covers.
It is 15.40x7.99x1.17cm, one of the biggest 5.5" device you can find. It weights 228g, impressive considering the metal frame (be careful though, everything else is made of plastic) and 4750mAh of battery.
On the front side there is a Standard Flat Display (not 2.5D) and the upper front side of the device features the standard set of things with some extras: a Front-Facing Camera supported by a Single Flash LED, an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. Is the Notification LED here? Yes, it is, but supports only one color: green.
I won't talk about the Notification LED in the Software paragraph because it isn't customizable at all. Here you can see how it looks like.
On the lower front side there isn't anything at all, on-screen software keys are used.
On the back side there is the Leather Back Cover (not-removable), claimed to be "Real Italian Leather". I have tested the leather using a pretty simple method, a water-test. "Drop a small amount of water on the good, as real leather absorbs moisture.". Result? Nothing happens, so i can't confirm that this is real leather.
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 with a nice opaque black color.
On the lower rear side there is the UHANS logo together with the Speaker hole.
Device
Screen
Thankfully UHANS choose to use a good screen on this device, with nice colors, high brightness and good white balance. Nothing to complain about it.
Light Sensor does not support smooth light changes, struggling to get an accurate value indoors. This is its maximum brightness. Outdoors it provides a nice viewing experience.
Viewing Angles are as good as you would expect from an IPS screen.
Together with the good screen, there is also a good multitouch panel. 10-points supported here.
Camera
Even though UHANS choose to use a nice Panasonic MN34152 rear camera sensor (one of my favorites for Mediatek Devices), it doesn't work so great here. The Auto-Focus motor is noisy (a lot). Image Quality is decent though.
"HDR off" on the left and "HDR on" on the right. HDR photos are just brighter, no real HDR.
Macro Photos seems to be great, when you manage to get a proper focus on the object.
As regards the Flashlight, it is buggy (software not fully optimized yet), not synced with the shot and messes up the photos color accuracy, but surprisingly bright.
As regards Video Recording, 1080p videos are recorded at 30FPS, but as you may notice there is an issue with color accuracy. If you want to see the real colors, check my OUKITEL U20 Plus Camcorder Test, recorded in the same time together with the U300.
Front Camera is a Wide-Angle variant OmniVision OV5648. Again, color accuracy seems to be messed up. Even with the Flashlight (on the right), everything looks weird, with a noticeable pink spot on the left side of the photo. It makes my cat looking so bad.
Audio
Speaker's Quality on this device, unlike previous UHANS devices, is great, a good amount of low-frequencies is here (finally) and the Volume is high.
As regards the Microphone, it is good enough with no issues as regards its quality. Everyone was able to hear me correctly while in-call.
Earpiece quality is decent, slightly muffled, but i may know what causes this issue (or better, disadvantage), they are probably using a water filter on the earpiece for the IP65 certification.
GPS
The GPS Antenna is sufficient. Considering the Cloudy Sky during this test, i can't complain about the result.
Weather Photo
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
There is a small issue though, unlike the engineering sample, on the retail unit the signal is not 100% stable.
Battery Life
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and it seems that the real battery capacity just slightly lower than the declared one. (declared 4750mAh, real ~4650mAh).
This is the Geekbench Battery Test, i don't think it is necessary to say something about this test. It talks by itself. WiFi ON (connected), Mobile Data ON (disconnected), Medium Mobile Signal and Minimum Brightness.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/393328
As regards battery charging times, the 5V/2A charger isn't super-fast to charge this huge battery, but it is still better than just 1A. There is no Mediatek Pump Express support.
Software
Unlike previous UHANS devices, this time they choose to use 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 there is no Compass/Magnetometer neither Gyroscope sensors.
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 great with almost lightning fast unlock speed.
Just like on the OUKITEL U20 Plus (pretty similar software, interesting coincidence), there are many customizable fingerprint features.

Review (Part 2)
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 only used for minor tests.
UHANS provides full european bands support, with 4G Band 20 (some other Chinese Smartphones don’t have it). My 4G connection was working just fine, with decent speed and pretty stable signal.
WiFi 5GHz is supported here, and seems to work great 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, and also higher than most other devices i have reviewed. Connected at 81MBps.
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 great, near to Helio P10.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is decent, high read speed and medium write speed.
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 good enough to provide a smooth gaming experience.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (8x Cortex-A53), but somehow lower than MT6737T. Software Optimizations are required.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – Somehow all OpenGL scores are pretty low, again software optimizations are required.
PCMark – Nice Performance here, as already said near to Helio P10.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Unlike previous tests, here you can see the performance differences compared to an Helio P10.
As an average score, i can say that this MT6750 (especially the "T" version) CPU is an huge improvement compared to the previous MT6753, probably the best cheap CPU ever made by Mediatek.
Conclusions
This conclusions paragraph has been entirely rewritten, primarily because i managed to get a retail unit of the device instead of the damaged engineering sample. So, what to say about this device. First of all, the design is simply something unique. I like it a lot, and the build quality makes it almost perfect. Why i say almost? Because the device isn't completely made of Metal, only the frame is made of Titanium, everything else is made of plastic.
Unfortunately both cameras do not work as i might have expected, both engineering sample and retail unit shared the same loss of quality so well it is clear that you can't consider this a camera-phone, but it still provides some nice shots, just do not expect superb quality.
Everything else is OK, the software needs lot of optimization here and there, see the unstable GPS signal, but i am pretty sure that it will get better and better. Currently, it is already stable for daily usage (unless you use some Navigation Software, where you might get some issues).
So, do i recommend it? Yes, i admit that the price is high for this device though, so i might recommend you to get it when the price gets even lower.
Pros:
Great Quality Screen
Accurate Fingerprint Sensor
Titanium Frame
WiFi 5GHz Support
Impressive CPU/GPU Performance
Leather (real or not) Back Cover
Great Speaker Sound
Cons:
Both Cameras have some issues
No Mediatek Pump Express Support
No Magnetometer/Compass & Gyroscope Sensors
Single-Color Notification LED
Unstable GPS Signal
Rating: 8.3

Screen: 9

Well we are still talking about a Mediatek MT6750T, you can't expect superb performance, it is a good mid-range device though (excluding that its price isn't as low as it should be)

Most important for a development perspective : what about bootloader lock status ?
I wasn't able to find this on your review while it's one of the most important information.
The review is not complete.

99% of Mediatek Devices made by these not so well-known companies are not locked by default, so it isn't always worth mentioning it.
Also, a separated Development & Support thread will be opened with all extra info.

Thanks for the review. I have a question about the GPS. Can you navigate around in your car with this GPS?(I know you got a decent GPS lock) Just asking because Mediateks are usually less accurate

Well i am not sure about this because the Engineering Sample was working perfect while the Retail Unit had some difficulties in locking satellites, unstable.

An OTA Update has been released, 20170221.
Do not forget to update your device and i recommend you to wipe data/factory reset in order to avoid any possible issue.

OK but please remove the YouTube link, there is an e-shop link in the description so you risk to get an infraction.

Everything you may want to know about UHANS U300’s battery tests
For a battery, bigger size means more power. Then how big a 4750mAh battery is?
Based on the pictures, the battery measures around 81 * 63.3 mm, accounting for 42% of the device’s body (154.8 * 80 mm), which is quite impressive compared to the average percentage of around 30%.
However, data has always spoken better than pictures. UHANS’s engineer has made several tests to justify how a 4750mAh Li-polymer battery actually performs. Five Samples marked as A, B, C, D and E were taken for the sake of accuracy.
Test 1: Time required for a full charge under 5V/2A
Results:
l Shortest charging time-sample D: 4 hours and 30 minutes
l Time for full charging sample B and C: 5 hours and 22 minutes
l Time for full charging sample A and E: 4 hours and 49 minutes
The average time for full charge is 5 hours on average.
Test 2: On-screen time test(50% screen brightness)
Figures turned out that the power discharges in a stable rate and the battery last for 21 hours
even with the WIFI, Bluetooth, VPN, automatic light control switched on.
Test 3: On-screen time with video playing (50% screen brightness and 60% volume).
Video-watching is a quite power consuming activity, however, you can tell from the chart that UHANS U300 performs well in battery durability. Battery drains at a steady speed, and it will work continuously for 18 hours with WIFI, Bluetooth, VPN, automatic light control switched on and SIM installed on.
Test 4: On-screen time with music playing (60% volume)
With WIFI, Bluetooth, VPN turned on and earphone plugged in, U300 keeps on working for 86 hours while music continuously played.
After all these tests and measurements, it’s fair to say that the 4750mAh device will put you through for at least 2 days of regular usage.​

Review (part 1)
Introduction
This is the OUKITEL K5000.
Hardware
Part of the K-series, that is the battery phone series of OUKITEL, this K5000 features a 5.7" HD+ (720x1440 18:9 aspect ratio) IPS screen that helps to reduce, even if only slightly, the size of the device, with a mid-range Mediatek MT6750T SOC, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of Storage. Everything is powered by a massive 5000mAh battery.
Unfortunately some weird choices have been made with this device for various parts of it, follow the next paragraphs to know more.
Unboxing
There are no many accessories included in the package unfortauntely: 1x Type-C USB Cable, 1x 5V/2A USB Charger, 1x Quick Guide, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x SIM Card Tray Removal Tool, 1x Type-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack, 1x TPU Case and the Smartphone (of course). A screen protector is already applied.
As you can clearly notice, the whole frame is made of Metal and feels solid, with a Plastic back cover (non-removable). Thanks to the rounded-corners, it is ergonomically more comfortable, but you can't expect miracles since it is still a bit thick and heavy, as you can read below.
Something i don't understand is the removal of the headphone jack, there is lots of wasted space. The device is thick enough to contain it. The same applies for the Speaker, it has been placed on the back when they could have fitted it on the lower side of the chassis with no issues at all. Pretty disappointing.
Thanks to the 18:9 aspect ratio and limited bezels, it is one of the most compact (excluding the thickness) battery phones i have ever reviewed, but due to its limited size, the weight isn't well-distributed thus it is really noticeable, at least for me that i don't have big hands: 15.21x7.28x1.10cm/220g.
Starting from the front side, there the so-declared 2.5D Asahi Glass that covers the IPS panel while the upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing camera supported by a small Flashlight, an Earpiece and the Sensors hole that includes Light and Proximity Sensors. No Notification LED is here.
On the lower front side there isn't anything at all. On-screen navigation keys are used instead of hardware buttons.
The back side features a glossy plastic surface that produces some nice light effects, something becoming almost a standard in the last few months, all devices i reviewed featured it. Fashion reasons? I don't know.
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor with a Dual-LED - Dual-Tone Flashlight, plus a Fingerprint Scanner just below it.
On the lower rear side there is the OUKITEL logo and the pretty-large Speaker hole.
Device
Screen
Something i really enjoy about this device is the screen. Even though its resolution isn't really high, only HD+ for a 5.7" surface, it is really sharp and the color accuracy is excellent. No color temperature issues neither high response-time. Definetely a thumbs-up for OUKITEL, great choice.
Also the light sensor works perfectly and the screen's maximum brightness is high-enough, ~396lux, sufficient for outdoor usage.
Viewing Angles are as good as you would expect from an high-quality IPS panel.
Camera
Unfortunately there are some problems with the camera. First of all, OUKITEL choose to use an outdated (but not bad to be honest) camera sensor (Sony IMX135) while for the Front Camera they choose a better, and newer, sensor from Samsung (ISOCELL S5K3P3SX). I don't understand this choice, it is logical to prefer the opposite
Anyway, the rear camera works as good/bad as on all other devices i tested with the same sensor, there isn't a really high amount of details even with lots of light available, and HDR helps a lot to get better photos. Color reproduction is just fine though, and if you decrease the ISO to its minimum (100), it is possible to get some better photos.
Some photos taken in different light conditions.
Macros look slightly blurry, but perfectly acceptable.
Thanks to the Dual-LED - Dual-Tone Flashlight, it is normal to except some great results, here is an example. It is powerful and doesn't mess with colors, just perfect. It's a pity to see such high-quality flashlight with this camera sensor.
Videos are recorded at 1080p30 with an overall stable frame-rate and acceptable quality, not the best neither the worst. You can't get anything better from this camera sensor.
I don't know if my front-camera sensor is faulty or if there is an issue with the software that probably handles the auto-focus mechanism, but as you can clearly notice, photos taken using the front-facing camera look almost 100% blurry.
Here is a focus-test pattern printed on a A4 paper and then used as example, the right side is completely messed up.
Audio
Sometimes placing the speaker on the rear provides some benefits since it is possible to use a bigger one without having to use any weird hack to fit it in the chassis. As a result, it is really powerful with some low-frequencies, neither it distorts too much at maximum volume. Still, it is not the ideal position.
Nothing to report about the Microphone and Earpiece, the quality is just fine. No issues noticed while in-call neither in recorded videos.
GPS
GPS Accuracy require some improvements, while the signal is high-enough and stable.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
Provides full european 4G bands support (including Band 20), the device was able to stay connected to my mobile operator's 4G network almost everywhere, everytime, with a reasonably high signal but slightly lower than average connection speed.
The device supports 5.0GHz WiFi network, and the signal is excellent with no connection speed issues.
Battery Life
Believe it or not, but the battery capacity test is just impressive. OUKITEL declares a 5000mAh battery for the device, but, based on my test, it is way higher, reaching almost 5450mAh! Unbelievable. Before you ask me, yes this time has been done multiple times to be 100% sure. Well done OUKITEL!
Confirming the battery capacity, with my usual PCMark Battery Test it was able to obtain an excellent result: 16 hours & 8 minutes (minimum brightness, WiFi on, Sync on)
There must be a Mediatek Pump Express chargers cost-increase in the last few weeks, since all devices i tested with big batteries weren't including one. Odd. The included 5V/2A charger takes more than 3 hours to recharge the device completely, some patience required xD.
Software
I always enjoy to review devices that provide an almost-stock Android experience, and this one is no exception. OUKITEL is known to not customize the OS (except for some models released in the past), and this one comes with the Mediatek distribution of Android 7.0 Nougat featuring October's Security Patches. No bloatware is preinstalled, and the device runs pretty smooth with no noticeable lags or stuttering.
Most Mediatek "Goodies" such as MiraVision are there, but i wasn't able to find any gesture such as Double tap-to-wake and similar.
Thankfully all sensors have been included, Gyroscope and Magnetometer/Compass are there!
No malwares detected with Kaspersky Anti-Virus using latest definitions.
Excellent Fingerprint Scanner accuracy and acceptable unlock time. Also, it's shape is perfect, hard to place the finger in the incorrect position. Thumbs up for this implementation.

Review (part 2)
Benchmarks
NOTE: If you follow my reviews you may notice that all benchmarks look almost identical to another device i tested some days ago. Possible identical motherboard manufacturer? Leave here a post if you have any plausible idea about this.
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 – MT6750T (Mali-T860MP2 GPU) + HD+ screen = pretty good 3D performance. Way higher compared to FHD alternatives.
AndroBench – Excellent I/O Performance, an high-quality eMMC has been used. One of the fastest found on a MT6750T device.
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 – Excellent result for a mid-range SOC, really enjoyable games on this device.
GeekBench – Of course the HD+ res. doesn't improve CPU performance, similar to other MT6750T devices and enough for most basic tasks.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – The same thoughts written for the 3DMark benchmark are valid also for this one.
PCMark – Overall high scores, still impressive Storage performance also here.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Weird result for the Chrome Browser test, really low for some reason, while other scores are just fine similar to other MT6750T devices.
Conclusions
It is pretty hard to write some conclusions about this device, it is really good and not so good in the same time. There are some weird choices that i can't accept (rear camera sensor and headphone jack removal), but there are also some really positive parts about it such as the excellent screen quality and battery life.
I will contact OUKITEL to know more about this front-camera issue that, hopefully, can be easily fixed, but for everything else, it is an interesting device that deserves to be considered.
So...do i recommend it? Well, if you don't mind about the notes written above and you think it satisfies your requirements, then yes.
Pros:
Excellent Screen Quality
Both Gyroscope & Magnetometer/Compass are present
Great Battery Life
Overall good build quality
Solid Performance
Cons:
Serious issues with the front camera (might be an hardware issue though)
Outdated rear camera sensor
No Headphone Jack (!!!)
Speaker positioned on the back
No Quick Charge

Nice review:fingers-crossed: @Alberto96

thanks for this review. I have it it is a good phone; Some bugs when rotate screen, it freezes and become a half a screen. About battery, it is veru useful to have a good battery.
I hope that root will be made for this phone.

K5000 selfie camera issue
I got this phone today and the selfie camera is horrible, I've seen many review's the include pics and all have this problem, surley oukitel knows about this problem, some YouTube reviewers say they contacted oukitel who say they will have an update that will fix this problem, anyone else have information about this?

Really? Well at least i am happy to hear that my unit isn't faulty. It must be a software issue then. I don't have any news about a possible fix either.

No bloatware ? Did you power on the phone ?
I want a phone with as less as possible apps, so I can dowload them myself if needed.
Like Youtube, Hangouts, Twitter enz.
