Oukitel K5000 First Review: Full Screen, 21MP selfie and 5000mAh

2017 is the year of bezel less and full screen phones with 18:9 aspect ratio. But which one to buy? Galaxy S8 will be a pumpkin in a year and a half. iPhone X has not released yet, but when it comes out – the price is very high. LG G6 runs on an old processor, but it’s worth it. New Chinese smartphone Oukitel  K5000 with 18:9 display costs only $160. So, we decided to make review of specifications and features of new smartphone.

You may think that it is Oukitel C8, which is two and a half times cheaper and also have full screen. As for $80 smartphone, the specifications are really good. But if you need more powerful device, then Oukitel K5000 is better option.

Performance

Oukitel K5000 is powered by eight-core processor MTK6750T with Cortex-A53 cores and Mali-T860 MP2 graphics. The chipset can be compared to MediaTek Helio P10 and Snapdragon 625. There is 4GB of RAM. The interface, applications, not heavy games – all this work quickly and smoothly.

Display

The screen of the smartphone is 5.7-inch, and resolution is 1440 x 720 pixels. The pixel density of 282 ppi for a smartphone for $160 is a big advantage.

Oukitel K5000 is quite thick – 10.8 millimeters. But this is because of the battery, whose capacity is 5000 mAh. Often, when a new ultra-thin smartphone releases, people say: “It would be better to put a larger battery!”. You are welcome!
