Oukitel affordable Metal Battery Beasts, K6000, Pro, K10000 - Mega Information Thread

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.

Water-Proof Test of the DOOGEE T5
DOOGEE T5 is the world’s first smartphone that combines the DIY style with 3-proofing. The Rugged Nature and Exchangeable Style, makes you have more choices basing on the environment's appearance and style.
They made a water-proof test (IP67 protection). If it resists, it means surviving in the harsh outdoor environment is not a problem.
Website: http://www.doogee.cc

Twitter: https://twitter.com/DOOGEE_official

IP67 Protection, what does it mean?
DOOGEE has labeled the T5 with IP67 Certification so to understand its level of water resistance we need to check what IP67 certification means. The certification system is administered by the International Electrotechnical Commission and can be broken down as follows:
IP stands for Ingress Protection
- The first digit is on a scale of 0 to 6 and represents the level of dust protection the device offers (higher numbers are better)
- The second digit is on a scale of 0 to 9 and represents the level of water protection the device offers (higher numbers are better)
Based on this scale (and according to the IEC), the DOOGEE T5 should offer full dust protection and water protection when submerged in up to 1 meter of water for a 30 minute duration.
Considering its Rugged design, i would expect even better protection from this smartphone, but is has been certified as IP67 so any other test that doesn't meet this spec. then it would be at your own risk.​

Also, for those who are interested, the DG700 (practically the device on which the T5 is based on) is now even more discounted than before (because its successor is near the door), but this is a limit offer until this weekend.
The DOOGEE T5 is kind of upgraded version of the DG700, which also combined the 3-proofing with the similar luxury appearance. The back cover has two choices, the crocodile texture calfskin and lambskin.
This is the DOOGEE DG700 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/doogee-titans-2-dg700-unboxing-hands-t2953664
If you can’t wait for the T5, you can buy a DG700 first because that's still a good device that shares many features.​

Giveaway from DOOGEE!
https://www.facebook.com/doogee.cc/posts/992293610883459
DOOGEE is waiting for your creative slogan for T5. The slogan can be humorous or poetic, but brief. They will giveaway 3 different gifts (one is the T5).
Follow the FB link and write your slogan
Time Limit: July 29 - August 14 (2016 of course)​

Finally it is Official!
The DOOGEE T5 will be launched on the 15th of August on DOOGEE's Official Website, where there will be a voting activity with the theme "The businessport phone, which style would you like?". Anyone can vote by choosing the Business T5 or the Sporty T5.
As a first round, it will be available on all official licensed stores, that can be found on the DOOGEE's website, then it will be also available on eBay & Amazon starting from mid-September.
Features:
Dual Style & IP67
The DOOGEE T5 is the world's first phone that combines dual appearance with IP67. It provides two appearances to be changed in seconds, and the relevant UI as well. Reaching IP67 rate, it means that it proofs water, dust and pressure.
13Mpix with PDAF, a Flagship Camera
Normal tri-proof phones do not perform well as regards photo quality, except the DOOGEE T5. 13Mpix Samsung Rear Camera with PDAF and 5Mpix Front Camera offer an outstanding shooting experience.
Comparison between DG700 & T5:
The DOOGEE T5 is a kind of upgraded version of the DG700. Compared to the quad-core CPU used in the DG700, the 8x 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 processors of the T5 highly increases the performance.
The DG700 has 5Mpix front camera and 8Mpix rear camera, while the T5 has 5Mpix front camera and 13Mpix rear camera with PDAF.
Compared with the 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM of the DG700, the T5 has 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM, and the 32GB ROM memory can be expanded up to 64GB. You can keep all your stuff.
Last, but not least, compared with the 4000mAh battery of the DG700, the T5 has 4500mAh battery and 5V/2A fast charge.

News
Yesterday price on Doogee T5 price reduced to 205$ in this store goo.gl/wtBzMn although the announced price was 230$.

Notification LED?!
Does this phone have a notification LED?
I've been asking in different forums and even the licensed reseller stores, I still don't have an answer! ... It's still a pre-order item.
I held off buying the Blackview BV6000 because of this issue, no notification LED, how can a manufacturer miss this small, yet purposely vital feature?!

I'll receive it next week so I'll let you know soon, but I think it doesn't have it. Check the DOOGEE video where they tested its waterproof capabilities, in the Settings menu (shown in this video) it should be shown if present.

I mean, check that video, they are showing you the Settings Menu after they take the device from Water (i remember that), so check if in that menu there is any kind of indication to the Notification Light or something similar. (unfortunately there isn't a specific menu name, MTK devices are a bit weird about this)
My reply wasn't too clear, but it wasn't neither so hard to understand...someone needs to calm down it seems...

Development & Support thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/doogee-t5-development-support-t3445982

Doogee released a video of production process for T5:
Probably the best spec of this T5 is the IP67 certification and shock proof integrated frame/case:

I got the device some days ago and yeah it is pretty good.
The chassis is pretty well made, Android works extremely smooth and I haven't faced any issue yet with it. Only the back cover management isn't perfect (if you change the cover/style, the UI theme gets automatically changed, but not always).
As usual, I'll provide you a review of the device soon.

Introduction
This is the businessport DOOGEE T5 Review.
Hardware
This device is powered by a Mediatek MT6753 SOC clocked at 1.3GHz, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM. It shares the same classic Rear Camera sensor used by the Redmi 3 Pro (13MP Samsung S5K3L8 with PDAF) while the Front Camera sensor is a 5MP OmniVision OV5648. The manufacturer of the Screen isn't known yet, but it is pretty good and super bright. Follow my next paragraphs to know more.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with an huge amount of accessories, including 2 different back covers and frames for Dual Appearance: 1x Plastic Screen Protector, 1x OTG Cable, 1x SIM/MicroSD tray Eject Tool, 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/2A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, and the Smartphone (of course).
As already said before, you will find 2 appearances in order to customize your Device's Style depending on the environment (or the tastes why not). I'll talk about this in one of the next paragraph.
The device has a Rugged Chassis, that mixes Metal, Plastic and Rubber for the best protection possible. Do not forget that this is IP67 Certified, so you can have fun with it without having to worry about its, and probably yours too, safety.
It feels super solid, the best made device i have ever tried as regards build quality. As certified by DOOGEE, and following IP67 protection, it is water-proof (up to 1 meter), dust-proof and pressure-proof. Let's say it, it is also kid-proof haha.
Being a rugged device you can't expect compact sizes, but it is lighter than another device i have tried some months ago that wasn't rugged (CUBOT H2), so DOOGEE did a great job as regards its build quality.
It is 15.37x7.84x1.37mm (using the Sporty Cover, because that's what i like most) and it weights 223g, again not too much considering that it is rugged.
On the front side there is the Standard Display, no 2.5D or anything similar, with big bezels. The upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece with a nice Silver Frame, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. No Notification LED is here unfortunately.
On the lower front side there is only the Soft Keys zone, with Menu, Home and Back buttons. As you might notice, on the upper & lower areas of the device there is a Glossy Finiture, that's the block where the ports are hidden just behind.
On the back side it's where the magic happens. Dual Back Covers, and everytime you change the back cover also the UI gets automatically changed. (basically an automatic theme switch)
The upper rear side of the device features the Samsung Camera Sensor supported by a Single (the Quick Start guide says Dual, but i can only see one) Rounded Flash (Single-Tone) configuration, and nothing else.
The lower rear side of the device features the huge speaker hole, that allows the huge internal speaker to output audio at maximum volume.
Device
DIY Instructions/Demostration (T5 Exclusive!)
So, if you are one of my followers you might have noticed this neverseen paragragh in this review. This device explains why. Being the only one that allows you to change between two styles, i thought that a demostration or anything else about it might be interesting for you all.
Starting from the Screwdriver required to handle the whole process, just imagine which type you need. Yes, a T5 Screwdriver haha.
Anyway, as regards the screws there are two used types, with different size. The longest type is used only with the Sporty sides, while the standard/shorter type is used with the Business sides.
My recommendation is to not use the Screwdriver provided in the package, because it isn't good and i managed to destroy it with just a few usages. This is the only negative aspect i have noticed about the kit.
Use your own Screwdriver, and it will provide you best results without having to worry about its safety.
As you might probably think, is it possible to mix the styles? My reply is: YES! This is what a did to my T5. Business Sides with Sporty Back Cover, providing best protection while leaving the sporty design.
If you want to know more info about this paragraph, just leave here a post and i will reply you.
Screen
The screen is pretty good, super bright but there is a small (barely noticeable) backlight bleeding on the left corner.
Light Sensor works pretty well and it supports smooth light changes. This is the maximum screen brightness.
Viewing Angles are perfect, comparable to an AMOLED screen. (excluding the IPS limitations)
Camera
Rear Camera is a pretty good Samsung ISOCELL, so it provides some nice quality photos on almost every condition. More photos (such as outdoor ones) coming soon, i have a cold right now...
Flashlight isn't perfect, but it is pretty powerful. As you can see, it is a just a bit under-positioned compared to the Camera Sensor. It might be an engineering sample issue maybe, i don't know.
As regards Video Recording, 1080p videos (Video Quality – Fine) are recorded with an high level of details, just remember that there is no OIS so you can’t expect stable videos.
Front Camera records decent photos, and it seems to be a wide-angle variant. Selfie-lovers will appreciate it.
Audio
Speaker is how nearly as good as you would expect from a rugged device. Decently-Loud! Well it lacks low-frequencies a bit, it is slightly muffled maybe due to its waterproof protection but its volume is high.
In-Call Quality is near-excellent, finally an earpiece where there isn't the usual low-clarity sound. Loud (maybe also a bit too much), and with good clarity.
As regards the Microphone, it works decently well in any case (in-call, VOIP, etc...).
The Audio Department has been accurately enough designed, so i thank DOOGEE for taking care about this.
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, even though some 3G frequencies are missing, maybe my engineering sample will get other frequencies with an update, who knows.
4G Network Speed is pretty good, it highly depends on your Mobile Operator and mine isn’t pretty good. While 3G Network Speed, is just fine as it should.
WiFi 5GHz isn't supported here, so only 2.4GHz WiFi speed can be tested. I managed to get connected to my network connection at 65mbps, and Speed Tests reached more or less 41mbps.
Battery Life (do not rely on my test)
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and its capacity is a bit lower than declared. Declared 4500mAh, Real ~4310mAh. (190mAh missing, nothing serious).
The Geekbench Battery Test provided some nice results, and the software used on my device isn't 100% ready-to-use so will probably get even better with next updates.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/383660
Software
The Software is completely clean, with an almost complete Nexus-like experience. As all latest devices, it is running Android 6.0 Marshmallow with some minor customizations and some extra-apps installed such as "Bagan Keyboard", "Xender", "Documents to Go" and "Parallel Space". Don't worry though, they can be disabled.
As every DOOGEE device, also this one has the usual Settings App with Black Background. Also, following other Mediatek devices, Gestures are here.
The Theme Management is easy to use, just go to the Wallpaper Chooser and you will be redirected to the Themes app. Useful if you want to switch between the Business & Sporty UIs without having to worry about the installed back cover.
Also, there is a Magnetometer/Compass here, but lacks a Gyroscope & Barometer.
There isn't anything else special about the software. It runs super smooth thanks to its HD-Only display, always responsive and there are always more than 2 GB of Free RAM on idle.
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 3, GFXBench, PCMark (Work & Storage) 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 better than other MT6753 devices, but still low on OpenGL 3.0 & 3.1 tests. You can’t expect something better, this is still a mid-range GPU.
Other 3DMark tests can be found on my Imgur album linked at the bottom of the thread.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is good, especially as regards Reading Speed. Writing Speed isn’t as good as other devices though, maybe it requires a little software update, anyway still high enough to handle almost every task.
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 – As you can see, 3D performance is pretty high. 3D Games will run with no issues at all.
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.
PCMark – As you can see, only Writing score is a bit low compared to other scores. Pretty good.
Work
Storage
Even if this device is still running a not-so-new MT6753 CPU, it still performs well and the HD-Only screen helps the GPU to provide best performance everywhere. As i always say, with an MT6753 the HD-Only display works best.
Conclusions
DOOGEE did a great job with this device, probably the only Rugged device that doesn't have an ugly chassis or anything bad. Together with the DIY fun, it confirms that it is also a different device than others. It provides nice performance, great screen quality and a good camera creating a good combination of aspects.
I might have expected a better CPU, but it would have increased its price so it is good as is. Cheap enough, solid and fun.
So, do I recommend it? If you are searching for a Rugged Device, or for a different device that everyone can notice being unique, then Yes! Of course if you are searching for a slim or anything else, then this isn't for you.
Pros:
Super-Bright Screen
Solid and Well-Made
IP67 Certified
Compass/Magnetometer Sensor
DIY Style with 2 Appearances
Nice Camera Quality
Smooth and Lightweight Android OS
RUGGED!
Cons:
Flashlight is a bit under-positioned

DOOGEE T5 Lite - Lite version of the T5 is coming, at the official price of 100USD
All the features of T5 Lite are same of the T5 that DOOGEE launched on 15th August.
T5 and T5 lite allow users to enjoy DIY fun as their main feature on both device is the dual-appearance. One of the appearance features a crocodile textured back cover and the other one is a sporty PolyCarbonate back cover. Further more, their inner UI automatically changes while the outer shell are replaced.
Although T5 Lite will be sold at only 100USD (Official Price), half of the T5 Price, it still provides the cool and useful IP67 certification, which means that it can proof water, dust and pressure.
The main differences between the models are in the processor, memory and camera departments. The T5 Lite is Quad-Core (maybe MT6735?) with 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM, 5Mpix OmniVision front camera, 8Mpix SONY IMX219 rear camera. Everything else is exactly the same as on the T5.
So, for those for are not searching for such high performance of the T5, a cheaper Lite version will be great.​

it is 5.0 Inch,I like big screen, I like VKworld T1 Plus ，The 6-inch JDI LTPS display brings unlimited viewing experience, vivid color, wide viewing angle.

The 10/20/30 are all fantastic phones, a real difficult decision as to which one to purchase.
The decision for me was a no brainer....NONE OF THEM.
Yup, they didn't include the Notification LED.

Four water-proof phones you'll want right now
Lots of people tells you electronics and water cannot mix. If you work outdoors, tired of being afraid of having something spilt on your precious phone; or you just want to Tweet while you shower. Whatever the reason, an IP67/IP68 rating smartphone should be at the top of your shopping list. The following are 4 waterproof smartphones I would recommend.
iPhone7/7 Plus
Although iPhone7/7 Plus almost looks like the same as iPhone6s/6s Plus except for adding two new colors and redesigning back antenna, there are still some new impressing features. Aside from iPhone 7 Plus coming with dual rear cameras for the first time, what appeals to me is that iPhone7/7 Plus finally come with IP67 rating water and dust resistant which allow for briefly dunking in the water. Besides, iPhone7/7 Plus come with the most powerful specs especially the A10 processor that is almost twice as fast as iPhone6s/6s Plus. It is safe to say iPhone7/7 Plus is one the best smartphones in the world. When you are looking for a smartphone with water and dust resistance, taking iPhone7/7 Plus into account is reasonable.
Galaxy S7 Edge
Samsung made Galaxy S5 feature IP67 2 years ago, and now Galaxy S7 Edge is also IP68 dust and water proof (30 minutes in water over 1.5 m deep). As the best android smartphone after Galaxy note 7 suffered its disastrous failure, not only is Galaxy S7 Edge equipped with high-end specs but also has the gorgeous appearance with the edge to edge AMOLED display and a metal body, but also the performance of its cameras is very likely to be the best of all the smartphones including iPhone7/7 Plus. Galaxy S7 Edge definitely deserves being considered by everyone who is into Android phones.
Sony Xperia XZ
Sony Xperia XZ as the latest addition to their flagship X family features the general rectangular slab-like design, with glass up front, an all metal back plate, and of course, an IP68 rating for resistance to dust and water. In terms of specs, Xperia XZ comes with a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32 GB or 64 GB of on-board storage, 23 MP rear and 5 MP front cameras, bears 2,900*mAh battery which is good enough for a full day of use. This device is priced at $699 which is in the same price range as Galaxy Note 7, I would say the price is a bit high, but if you want a high-end smartphone with IP68 rating and you don’t like Galaxy S7 Edge, then you can’t ignore Sony Xperia XZ.
Nomu S20
After introducing 3 high-end flagships, now I am going to recommend a budget rugged phone named Nomu S20 which comes with a 5-inch HD display, 8MP rear and 5MP front cameras. Under the hood, this phone comes with MediaTek quad-core 4G LTE processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM and is packed with 3000*mA battery along with a fast charging feature. Nomu S20 has IP68 rating just like Galaxy S7 Edge, but unlike those three above, Nomu S20 is a professional rugged phone. It is able to survive a drop from 1.5 meter height, which those high-end flagships are too fragile to survive. Also, -20℃ to 55℃ working temperature range allows you to use it in most of the places you can imagine. You can feel free to use this handset without worrying in the most unexpected conditions. What’s more, $169.99 price point make it the most affordable waterproof smartphone. If you do not have hundreds of dollar to spend, maybe Nomu S20 is a good choice for you.

CAT S60 - IP68 - Mil STD-810G - 3800mAh - Notification LED - Locked down - FLIR Camera
Nomu S20/Xperia XZ/Galaxy S7/iPhone 7 comparison:
http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/e71d9cf7c
The Nomu S10 and S30 both have 5000mAh batteries.
You forgot the Cat S60 with the FLIR camera....FLIR camera, now how cool is that!
It also is a true IP68, it can go down to 15 Ft for 30 minutes, that is a true IP68 rating, not this 3 feet for 30 min that Nonu and Samsung have.....iPhone and Xperia only take a splash, not a dunk, the'e IP67.
http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/75203bc3
If you do anything outdoors that relies on GPS, with the screen ON, and listening to music, the bigger the battery the better....for me.
My criteria:
5.5" / 720p / Backlit keys / Notification LED / 4000mAh min / Quad 64bit 2000MHz min OR Octo 64bit 1500MHz min / 2GB RAM DDR3 min / 16GB ROM min / 64GB SDHC/XC / IP68 / Mil STD-810G OR Ruggedized / GPS / Gyro/ Compass / Proximity / Accelerometer / SIM2 3G / Lollipop or lower, I want R00T capability.
Its not that far of a dream the phone I want, the Nomu S30 had it all and then they left out the Notification LED....A phone with some amazing specs and NO Notification LED.....WTF.....
http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/b0e73f1b
I will give up 4G, or backlit keys....I won't compramise on the Notification LED.

Well, you mentioned your innermost need of the notification led twice already. I do not need it but please follow your ideal phone.
Please also give us a ballpark price range of the CAT phone when you have a chance. What is it? Like FOUR times the Nomu's price?

Getting even better - burning this time

3X The $$ and 4X the phone. 15 feet deep for ½ Hour!
> FLIR camera .... Fun stuff! I can think of all sorts of places to use it and annoy my girlfriend at the same time.
> MIL-STD-810G
What's annoying about the CAT S60, and prevented me doing the purchase is ...
#1) Battery, Nomu/3800mAh - CAT/3000mAh
#2) Smaller screen, Nomu/5"(on screen keys) - CAT/4.7"
CAT S60 is a solid, robust phone that is weak in the battery department and a step back for me as I have a 5" phone and want to go to a 5.5" phone.
The Nomu S30 was almost perfect, then they missed the Notification LED, what a letdown......
Kinda like, meeting the perfect girl, then she opens her mouth and sounds like Fran Drescher.

so much talking about nice phones from Nomu but you claim to have bought HT20 with the smallest screen. just for Notification light.
HT20 claims 3850 battery and you admit yourself it below 3000.
Moreover Ht20 has serious mic problems and hence waterproof problems if one uses Homtom cure for mic..
BTW you are mistaken Nomu S20 does not have 3800 battery . it is 3000 mAh.
Personally I do not like LED light at night. I do not care for NL. I like t check myself than be bothered by the light

Interesting video for Nomu
There is an very interesting video collection for Nomu, , very impressive, love it so much.

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.​

No Commercial Advertising here, otherwise I would have written it.

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.

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.​

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.
Device
Screen
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.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/391236
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.
Pros:
High Screen Brightness
Fast Fingerprint Sensor
Impressive eMMC Internal Storage
Quality-Made Unibody Metal Chassis
WiFi 5GHz Support
RGB Notification LED
Cons:
Noisy Cameras (Rear and Front)

The MTK Helio P10 chipset relies on a 64-bit octa-core processor MT6755 , comprised of 8 Cortex-A53 cores, four of which are ticking at up to 2GHz, while the other four are clocked lower, though an exact number isn't specified.
A dual-core Mali-T860 GPU is in charge of graphics.
Nomu S30 is packed in carton box which contains Nomu S30, charger & cable, Warranty and user manual, headphones.
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
The Nomu S30 is all Titanium alloy structure fortified with heavy-duty plastic and metal. The titanium alloy unit reinforced by octagon structure which by itself gives S30 powerful, resilient and unique image.
It looks great with the sides with brushed aviation type aluminium and very decorative metal pins holding the elegant construction.
Edges of octagon are rounded moulded from rubberised plastic to endure crashes from the height of more than 1 meter.
Design is attractive and gives elegant military impression. The artistic impression of all sides is the proof of modern advanced technology used in manufacturing process.
Left side view on PTT button
Right side view with Vol +- & Power
Nomu did a fantastic job designing the S30. S30 is IP68. Actually 4 x protection.
* Waterproof
* Dust-proof
* Shockproof
* Extreme temperature
The build of the device is flawless. The phone is firm and it doesn’t bend.
Dimensions 162×83×13.35 mm
Weight 260g
Material Aluminum titanium combined bracket.
The back piece and aluminum sides shun fingerprints and scratches.
The phone is easy to grab and hold, thanks to the rounded edges.
The sensory buttons have a back-light
Standard volume rocker and the power button made of aluminum are placed on the right side, which is a standard positioning considering the modern design. The volume and power buttons give a slight audible click when used.
On left side a PTT button is placed for SOS signals .
The back cover resembles zigzag pattern of chick black & silver gray plastic very aesthetic in handling.
The cover is sealed tight and part of it seals the 2x SIM and SD card slot behind the logo of Nomu.
Very HANDY.
On the top of the phone, we can find a standard 3.5 audio jack for you to enjoy your favorite music.
The USB port is at the bottom of the device, alongside with the NXP speakers. This model protects you in any environment so all external connections are equipped with stoppers made from the same rubberized plastic as the rest of the sides..
DISPLAY
The display packs a 5. 5-inch display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (FHD).
Pixel density is 480 dpi. Display technology used is IPS and this solution gives more natural colors and a unique user experience considering the screen colors.
The colors are quite vivid and natural. Being a solid SHARP IPS display, viewing angles are excellent with little to no color and contrast changes when viewing from extreme angles. Viewing angles are good and the screen is readable even in direct sunlight. The control buttons are back-lit. They are good visible in daylight as well as at night.
The display is 10 point multi- touch.
Corning Gorilla Glass 4
The response of the digitizer is really good. It reacts even on gentle touches with fast and precise response. The digitizer is really extra in this case. The auto-brightness setting works quite fine. Nomu S30 has a glove mode enabling using TP in difficult weather conditions.
PERFORMANCE & STORAGE
The heart of Nomu S30 is its Octa -core processor MT6755 clocked at the speed of 2 GHz. Chipset used is Mediatek MTK Helio P10 .
MTK 860 GPU .
RAM memory capacity is 4 GB.
If you want to enjoy playing games, this phone will provide a high gaming experience and rich sensory pleasures also in sound experience provided by NXP sound chip.
Internal storage capacity is 64 GB.
After the system has taken up it’s share we’re left with about 50 GB free and if this is not enough for you, there is an option for expanding the storage capacity with a microSD card up to 32GB giving you a total of 80 GB of usable memory should you need it.
AndroBench – eMMC performance is above good especially in regard to Reading Speed of above 271MB/s. For everyday tasks even Write Speed of above 13MB/s is quit high considering models of other manufacturers.
Overall performance is outstanding considering the high price range it is self-evident on the AnTuTu Benchmark of 46881 which I do for the fun of benchmark fans but which is not to be relied on very much.
Antutu Benchmark results compared to other flagships.
Sensors:
Nomu S30 GPS
I have made the GPS test inside the house.
The first cold lock on the Nomu S30 took less than 20 seconds, and subsequent locks were instantly fast at 5 seconds.
SNR is exceptionally good, with satellites bumping up into the low 40 ’s times.
Nomu 30 supports GPS and A-GPS and it’s also capable of registering Glonass satellites. .
Network
Nomu S30 has 4G support LTE CAT.6
Speed test connected to 4G Orange network on Nomu S30
Result:
Download 55 Mbps upload 18 Mbps
Camera
Dual camera system is incorporated in the new Nomu S30 model.
The rear camera has 13 MP SONY IMX214 used already with success in many flagships
Interpolated to 16 MP main camera SONY IMX 214.S30 uses the newest 13 MP image sensor from Sony and features PDAF and RWB technology. F 2.0 aperture and 6P optical lens can take sharp pictures even in low light condition. Rugged as Nomu S30 is you can make photographs and video underwater. Sony IMX214 sensor ensures for a quality beyond 200 USD mobile phone although software could offer more editing options.
If you enjoy taking selfies this model is definitely for you since the front camera also has 5 MP OmniVision OV5648. This interpolated to 8MP selfie camera is above average considering other models. The OmniVision front camera produces beyond adequate images for social sharing your travels or being occupied with rugged tasks of life.
Operating System (OS)
The all new Nomu S30 runs on Android 6 Marshmallow, which is energy efficient. A standard user will quickly find his way while using this device and the overall user experience is at its top. There are few bloat-ware apps pre-installed which after rooting can be removed.
No spontaneous restart occurred to me during the review. Everything is running smoothly.
The system has a set of smart gestures that works even when the phone is turned off. You can start he device by double tap, or using specific gesture to start a specific app.
The system also offers smart motion support , when by moving the phone you can for example, answer a call, automatically dial etc.
S30 offers even a glove and wet finger touch mode for extreme weather
Battery
New Nomu S30 has 5000mAh battery with PumpExpress 3.0 fast charge support offering you 30 hours of talk time and outstanding 70 days standby time
I have made a test of draining with light use of phone for 12 hours of standby battery charge went to 96%
Sound
It’s cool to discover after unboxing that the manufacturer added headphones . The sound is clean and the sound from the speaker is flat and very enjoyable for listing music or watching movies.
In my list below you can see the arranged qualities and flaws of this handset.
Pros
• Great military type design with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and performance of MTK Helio P10

IP68 with corning Gorilla Glass 4

https://www.facebook.com/nomumobile/

Many phones have Gorilla Glass 4 or better and are not advertised as drop-proof. When I think of a drop-proof phone I think the Galaxy S7 Active or Moto Z Force. This is not drop proof and 1.2 meters isn't very far. I'm not saying its a bad phone and if attractively priced it might compete well considering waterproofing at a mid-range price. But don't call it any more durable than any other modern phone in a decent case.

Many brands that happen after many years to adopt Gorilla glass do not have IP68 or less neither.
Many established brands do not meet waterproof claims even when called rugged. Consumer has to choose carefully.
IP68 of Nomu S30 does not come from alone having Gorilla Glass 4.
Nomu S30 has a titanium aluminium alloy military-grade construction which is the beginning of shatter-resistant unit build on octagon blue-print with heavy-duty rubber to reduce the impact force from every accidental drop.
Nomu also claims NXP waterproof speaker.
Nomu so to see has re-thought the ruuged from every angle.
