Optimized smartphone battery from China impresses: Huge screen and super long battery life

A huge 7.2-inch screen and yet very long battery life. Is this possible? The Oukitel WP60 says yes. At this point, readers may wonder whether the manufacturer had to make the smartphone heavy or reduce the screen brightness in order to reach these battery life figures.

Oukitel achieves impressive stamina thanks to new battery technology

Yes, the Oukitel WP60 weighs 360 grams, which is not exactly light for a smartphone, but you have to consider the large screen. The device is also specially protected against dust, water and other environmental influences thanks to IP68/69K certifications.

The smartphone is also supposed to be drop-proof, and all these features certainly contribute to the weight. Nevertheless, the WP60 makes a very robust impression and remained unaffected by pressure and shocks in our tests.

Despite the large display, the 10,000 mAh battery reached a runtime of 1,435 minutes or 23:55 hours, in our Wi-Fi test. Quite impressive, especially considering the large screen, which could potentially consume a lot of energy.

However, a few tricks are in play here

We can't fault the maximum brightness in our test, which reaches almost 700 cd/m². However, the screen only has a resolution of 1560 x 720, which naturally reduces the processing power required for displaying the image.

The SoC isn't particularly powerful overall, but it seems to be able to operate efficiently, given the long battery life.

Many possibilities

Thanks to its long battery life, the smartphone is ideal for taking with you on long hikes. Even when using the integrated flashlight function or night vision, the battery does not run out too quickly.
