Getting a high-end smartphone sometimes requires you to spend above your budget and when you can’t afford your dream phone, you may need to go for what you can afford with your present budget. OEMs do find it hard trying to maintain a sensible balance between quality and price; when the phone has mad specifications and is built with quality materials, you should expect a price tag that’s probably going to scare you off.
I’ve seen the new Oukitel K4000 4G smartphone and judging with the specifications, one might think it’s gonna be a pricey piece but surprisingly, the pre-order page on Gearbest says it goes for only $119.99! Earlier, I saw this video on the internet and was amazed:
Oukitel may not be one of your favorite brands but hey, you’ve got to give it to them on this one. As if that wasn’t enough, I came across this video on Youtube and decided this is definitely going to be my next device:
The phone features a 5.0″ HD screen with a 2.5D Arc screen. The design almost completely gets rid of bezels and the curved display edge gives you it a more appealing aesthetic value. The device has a resolution of 720×1280 pixels, given the display a density of 294ppi.
As demonstrated with the videos above, the glass is toughened and the material isn’t something we haven’t seen or heard before: It’s Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
The device has a 64-bit MTK6735 chip with 4 cores, clocked at 1.0GHz. For multitaking, you get a 2GB random access memory which is more than enough. It also runs Android 5.1 Lollipop though we can’t say specifically if there’s going to be a Marshmallow update.
With a massive 4,000mAH capacity battery, you can expect the phone to last for days without charge. The device guarantees 2.5 days heavy use, 5 days normal use, 72 hours talktime and 20 days standby.
To some extent, the phone is said to be water resistant for daily use. You’re not expected to immerse your phone in water and based on what Oukitel is trying to say, getting drenched in the rain probably won’t affect the device.
The phone sports a high quality 13MP Sony rear camera with antishake technology. It is equipped with flash to enhance taking pictures in poor lighting conditions. There’s also a 5MP camera at the front.
