Oukitel WP50: Compact, rugged 5G smartphone launching soon at an affordable price

Oukitel will soon be offering a new rugged smartphone, the WP50, which is said to be relatively compact with a thickness of 12.2 millimeters. According to the manufacturer, buyers do not have to make any major compromises in terms of robustness, as the smartphone is IP68 and IP69 certified, meaning it can withstand up to 30 minutes in 1.5 meters of water and drops from heights of up to 1.2 meters.

A MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ is installed, and thanks to the integrated mobile modem, the WP50 can also communicate with 5G mobile networks. There are two SIM card slots and the 128 GB UFS 3.1 storage can be expanded via a memory card. Android 14 is the operating system, but buyers should not get their hopes up too much in terms of updates.

The 6.6-inch screen has a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080. Unfortunately, Oukitel has not included a night vision or thermal imaging camera in the WP50. A fingerprint sensor is available, and thanks to the integrated NFC module, the WP50 can also be used for wireless payments. The 6,500 mAh battery is not so large, but can be charged at 18 watts. This is very fast, although other smartphones offer significantly higher charging capacities.

The WP50 is expected to be available for import from June 17 at a price of less than $200.
