OUKITEL U10 Smartphone Review

Mobile/Smart Phones by stefan @ 2015-08-28

OUKITEL has impressed us with the release of the new U10 model, with features a 5.5’’ Full-HD JDI screen, one of the latest MTK 64-bit SoCs, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, dual-SIM capabilities but also a good Samsung 3M2 13MP CMOS sensor, which is able to produce good quality photos. The manufacturer has adopted a modern design with 2.5D curved glass while on the back we will find a super-thin metal alloy chassis so the phone does have a thickness of only 7.9mm, with the expense of a non-removable battery. The SIM tray can be ejected thanks to the included pin and supports multiple configurations: SIM+SIM or SIM+TF card for storage expansion.

Play Store is the well-known application store from Google, from where we can choose a wide variety of apps to install, free and paid:

Next we could remind of the Chrome browser, which ships with the OUKITEL U10 ROM:

Facebook is one of the most used social applications and the manufacturer saw fit to include it:
