Oukitel OT8: New Android tablet with cellular modem and Widevine suitable for high-resolution media playback

Oukitel has introduced the OT8, a well equipped tablet which is unlikely to set any records in terms of performance. The Unisoc Tiger T606 is a SoC with limited performance capabilities and the RAM measures 6 GB. The internal storage amounts to 256 GB.

The screen of the Oukitel OT8 measures 11 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 1200 x 1920, making the tablet well suited to the playback of full resolution media content from streaming services such as Amazon Prime or Netflix. Widevine L1 certification is on board, which is not a given in cheaper tablets.

A battery with a capacity of 8800 mAh is installed and can be charged with a maximum charging power of 18 watts. The tablet specified as only 7.8 millimeters thin and the weight 515 grams, making it very portable. The use of a stylus is also advertised, but a digitizer is apparently not available, so the font thickness of notes is not determined by pressure.

Connections to 4G mobile networks is said to be possible and operation with two SIM cards is also supported. A classic jack socket for connecting headphones or headsets is installed. The main camera has a resolution of 13 MP and the front camera 8 MP. The model is scheduled to launch for a price of $179.99 in January.
