OUKITEL C21

Oukitel has launched multiple smartphones in the past with some interesting features and now that smartphone company has introduced another device to cater for the affordable section. Yes, after several rumours, finally the Oukitel C21 has surfaced on the internet with a large battery, superb cameras and a capable processor. Without further ado, let us have a look at the specifications of this smartphone.

Oukitel C21 price in India 

The Oukitel C21 comes in a single storage option with 4GB RAM + 64Gb storage and the smartphone has been launched in three colour variants including the Midnight Black, Ocean Blue and Neon Purple. As for the pricing, according to the official page of Oukitel, the Oukitel C21 price is $148. 

OUKITEL C21 Design 

The Oukitel C21 is not the most visually appealing Android smartphone, but it looks and feels excellent for the price. It’s made of plastic and has a shiny appearance. As you may expect, this shiny surface attracts a lot of fingerprints. A replica of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra’s camera bump is found on the Oukitel C21, but it’s not nearly as attractive. Along with the C21’s ragged edges, Oukitels C21 feels far from luxurious. 

Unexpectedly beautiful hole-punch display saves the phone’s design repute at its front. These are all normal features for a phone at this price point, however, the bezels are large and the bottom of the screen sticks out. The Oukitel C21 is equipped with a fingerprint sensor on the rear.

OUKITEL C21 Display 

With 1080 x 2310 pixels and a 60Hz refresh rate, the Oukitel C21 has a full HD(2K)IPS display. These are excellent figures for an Android smartphone at this price point. With a pixel density of 398PPI, the colours are bright, and the images are quite crisp.

OUKITEL C21 Performance 

In addition to 4GB of RAM, the Oukitel C21 comes equipped with 64GB internal storage.  As a side note, this storage is eMMC, not UFS 2.1, the speedier storage configuration used on premium Android phones and tablets. A competent MediaTek Helio P60 CPU powers the smartphone. From the software point of view, the Oukitel C21 runs on stock Android 10 and supports 4G networks.

OUKITEL C21 Camera 

Its rear camera has a 16MP primary sensor, a 2MP macro sensor, and two 2MP auxiliary sensors, all of which have high F/2.0 apertures. It features a single 20MP F2.0 camera on the front for selfies. These are hardly remarkable numbers by any stretch of the imagination, but good camera performance has never been about large numbers, and the images captured by the C21 demonstrate this point admirably.

OUKITEL C21 Battery 

The Oukitel C21 comes with a 4000mAh battery, which is about as good as it gets at this price point. The Oukitel C21’s sole major flaw is that it does not come with a fast charger. To charge the phone completely it takes around 3 hours using the included 10W charging station.

OUKITEL C21 Verdict

Anyone searching for an inexpensive Android phone that yet packs a punch might consider the Oukitel C21. Although  Oukitel has sacrificed certain 21st-century features to keep the price down, I think it’s a worthwhile compromise, as there are few phones that can compete with this one for the price.
