Nothing new in design
With the Oukitel WP20, the design stays with the well-known mush. As is usual with outdoor phones, the corners are reinforced. According to its own statements, the smartphone achieves the IP standards IP68 and IP69K and meets the requirements of MIL-STD-810G standards. Which means nothing other than that the smartphone is protected against falls, water and dust.
Weak in hardware
When it comes to the hardware, the smartphone feels a bit like leftovers. The built SoC is a Helio A22 from 2018 with a corresponding layer of dust and was already in the entry-level area at that time.
When it comes to RAM, there are also only 4 GB to use and the internal memory is just 32 GB, which is quite outdated in 2022. However, this can at least be done by means of Expand MicroSD card. That too 5.93″ display with a Resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels and 271 ppi looks a bit outdated.
However, the Oukitel WP20 does not have to hide when it comes to the battery. According to the manufacturer, this has a capacity of 6300 mAh, what a Standby time of up to 550 Hours should suffice. It is charged via a USB-C Port.
Connectivity and GPS
When it comes to connectivity, you have a variety of options. The WP 20 also relies on one Dual-Sim Slot. Here, however, you have to decide whether you want to use 2 SIM cards or whether you want to expand your memory using one of the two slots.
The 4G network will include bands 7 and 20 supports and thus supports all important frequencies for Germany. In addition, there are still Dual-Band WLAN and Bluetooth 5.0 available.
At GPS you put on GNSS-Module with the connections to GPS, Glonass, Beidou and Galileo. You have to completely do without NFC on the smartphone. You start with the operating system Android 12. Unfortunately, it is not known whether and for how long support and updates will be available here.
Camera in iPhone 12 Optics
Even if it makes the impression visually on the pictures, the description of the Oukitel WP 20 only contains data about it a main camera on the back. This solves with 20 MP and relies on an f/1.8 aperture. Whether the second sensor is functional is unknown. There is also an LED flash on the back. The front camera has one 5MP resolution with an aperture of f/2.4.
Test reports / experiences / opinions
The Oukitel WP 20 is clearly an entry-level outdoor smartphone, the hardware of which has seen better days in some places. A 4-year-old processor and little internal memory can no longer really convince in 2022. This is only reflected in the very low price. All in all, it seems a bit that they still want to bring old hardware to the public without staying up-to-date.
