Oukitel is offering a new smartphone, the C59 Pro, with a large 26% discount on Amazon, bringing the total to $139.99. Aside from the rather low peak brightness of 450 nits, the spec sheet is impressive for the discounted price. Whether the smartphone works well in everyday use is another question altogether; cautious readers should wait until more user reviews or independent tests pop up online.
The smartphone is equipped with a Unisoc Tiger T606-SoC, which does not support 5G, which may significantly limit data transfer rates and network coverage for a lot of users. It is advertised as having up to 24 GB of RAM, but the installed RAM is only 8 GB, with the remainder being virtual RAM. The internal storage is 256 GB, and storage can be expanded via a memory card.
The large battery capacity of 10,000 mAh is rather unusual, which should make for longer runtimes. There is also a flashlight on the top, which provides 120 lumens and can be easily activated with a quick switch. The 6.88-inch display has a resolution of 1,640 x 702, a maximum refresh rate of 90 Hz and a brightness of 450 cd/m². A fingerprint sensor is installed on the side. Lastly, Android 15 is installed as the operating system. However, users should not expect long-term update support like large-name manufacturers such as Samsung or Google.
