Oukitel Y5000 Design
I have outlined some of the traits of the Y5000 design. However, it is is good also to mention that the device boasts a punch-hole at its display. As such, it is able to allow a larger screen in a smaller footprint. It has the fingerprint sensor at the back. The rear cover is laid out in the 3D glass. It is amazing when the back of the device hits light spectrum.
Display
Oukitel Y5000 has no secondary display. Nevertheless, we can see that the display size is 6.53 inches FHD+. Whereas, the pixel resolution for the display is 1080 x 2340, with 24 bit color depth. Don’t forget, this display is rich with 16M colors. The display type is IPS capacitive touchscreen, and in addition to that, it has 395 ppi density. For protection, there is a 2.5D curved glass screen and scratch-resistant properties.
Processor
As seen above, the processor is Qualcomm Snapdragon 660. This means that the speed of the device is sure to be more than average. The good thing is that Qualcomm is gaining repute for fantastic performance among smartphone manufacturers worldwide. For graphics processing, the smartphone also has Qualcomm Adreno 512. But the process technology is 14nm.
Storage
There is a variant when you look at the storage. Herein, the RAM is 4 or 6 GB depending on the make-up of the smartphone. You also know that this is the primary reason for price disparity when buyers are making their buying decisions. Also, there is 64 GB or 128 GB internal storage as it applies, and when the user slots in a microSD card, the storage can increase up to 256 GB on the external side.
Battery
Oukitel Y5000 is empowered by a 4000 mAh non-removable Li-Po battery that has fast charging features. No wireless charging available. Standby time is reputed to be up to 210 hours, while the talk time is up to 20 hours.
Speaker and Call Quality
Truly, Oukitel Y5000 has a loudspeaker with active noise cancellation and a dedicated mic. It supports music and video player. With Hifi audio, the user is guaranteed more power at the sound systems. A 3.5mm jack even makes things better. The ringtones include WAV, eAAC, and MP3.
Software Features & Sensors
Oukitel Y5000 is Android 9.1 Pie empowered. However, there is no Java software platform for this device. The good thing is that the Android Pie operating system is sure to drive the engine as the operating system. Furthermore, the sensors are fingerprint (which is side-mounted), accelerometer, proximity, light, and compass.
Camera, Video, and Image Quality
The quad-camera is situated at the rear of the phone. They are as follows- 48 MP, 8 MP, 2 MP, and 2 MP. Other features such as Dual-LED flash, HDR, panorama, AF, and others give the phone’s performance a boost. Image dimensions are massive at 8000 x 6000. Video performance in the smartphone comes with full HD recording. The single selfie camera is a powerful 32 MP.
Oukitel Y5000 Price
Pricing starts at $280 for Oukitel Y5000. This price is reasonable. About a little less than N100,000 is enough to purchase the device as of now. Reviewers say it is a good price. But it puts the phone in the level of mediocre mid-rangers.
Verdict
Yes, the Oukitel Y5000 is actually a beautiful smartphone. It tries to mimic the top tier mid-range smartphone but falls short when one looks at the intrinsic attributes. Also, it is terrible that the smartphone is coming in black color only. The price is reasonable anyway. It is one of the things that will encourage buyers.
