Oukitel RT7 Titan 5G review – A sturdy outdoor tablet that lets you work for days without needing an outlet
Are you looking for a stable and water-resistant tablet that can work in tough conditions? Or for your next outdoor trip that requires going multiple days without an outlet? Now, the selection isn't all too big: Aside from Samsung's Tab Active4 Pro and Panasonic's Toughbooks based on Android, it is mostly Chinese manufacturers that dare to occupy this market.
Oukitel has presented its RT7 Titan, a unique 10.1-inch ruggedized tablet: It features a 32,000 mAh battery, which allows for extremely long runtimes on the go - and you can even use it to charge other devices. In turn, you have to make peace with its thick case and 1.2-kilogram weight. A unique feature promised by the manufacturer is its night-vision camera which works using infrared technology.
In this review, we will be taking a closer look at the tablet so we can tell you whether it is worth purchasing.

Case – Massive protection
The first time you get your hands on the Oukitel RT7 Titan, its heavy weight, rubber-protected case and visible screw holes for its accessories make it clear that this isn't your regular Android tablet. The device has IP69K protection against liquids, falls up to 1 metre, and dirt. Rubber caps over the connections make sure that they remain usable.
The Oukitel RT7 Titan 5G is available in sleek black or with subtle blue accents.
Its aluminum case can't be twisted by hand and strong manual pressure on the display doesn't make any liquid crystal become visible. The screen is protected by 1.1-millimetre Dragontail Glass from AGC, which is comparable to older versions of Corning's Gorilla Glass. Furthermore, the tablet comes delivered with a screen protector already installed.
Its evenly aligned gaps and clean material transitions speak for the tablet's good build quality. The device feels nice to hold and doesn't feature any sharp edges. However, you do have to keep in mind how much the device weighs - after a while, your arms might tire. In order to mitigate this, Oukitel has included quite a lot of clever accessories with the device, which we will talk about later.
Connectivity – Lots of fast storage
The tablet can currently be purchased for around US$500, although, there are always discounts available which make it even cheaper.
Thanks to its 256 GB flash drive, the Oukitel tablet offers a lot of storage for its product and price range. Oukitel often likes to mention 24 GB RAM, but in reality, the tablet only features a 12 GB soldered-on RAM component - the rest can be activated in the settings menu as a swap file in the data storage.
This only makes sense in very specific scenarios: Only very few Android apps can make use of such large amounts of RAM. Furthermore, the UFS 2.2 flash that is used as its mass storage is significantly slower than LPDDR4 RAM.
You have to make do without NFC, which means you can't use mobile payment services on it and you can't use it as a car key, for example. Its USB port is only internally connected with USB 2.0, so data transfers are a bit slower and image output to an external monitor is not possible.
microSD card reader
The tablet's microSD card reader occupies a SIM card slot, so you have to choose between dual-SIM or a SIM card and microSD. MicroSDXC cards with up to 1 TB of storage can be read. Its transfer speeds were quite fast in both the copy test and the CPDT benchmark.

Software – The Oukitel tablet with stock Android
Android 13 comes pre-installed on the robust tablet and has barely been modified by the manufacturer. At the time of testing, the latest safety patch was from August 2023, so still relatively up-to-date.
The Oukitel RT1 tablet from 2021 still receives safety patches twice a year, so you can safely assume this one will come with at least two years of software support. Oukitel promises 3 to 5 years of occassional updates.
Thankfully, the manufacturer has refrained from installing any sponsored third-party apps - only a few useful tools such as a magnifying glass, altimeter and a spirit level are installed.
Communication and GNSS – 5G cellular connection even internationally
WiFi 5 is the fastest WLAN standard that the Oukitel tablet is capable of. This makes speeds between 300 and 400 MBit/s possible, which our WLAN test using the Asus ROG Rapture AXE 11000 as a reference router confirmed. The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro is a lot faster thanks to its WiFi 6. For most networks, the Oukitel RT7 Titan's WLAN solution will be fast enough - however, you can't fully make use of a gigabit internet line.
The tablet can also connect to the internet and make calls using mobile data. In order to do so, plenty of 4G frequencies are available, meaning you can also take the Oukitel RT7 Titan with you on trips and connect to the internet using it.
Our test device is actually even 5G-enabled, so it can make use of the current fastest mobile network standard. Its reception was quite good in the city during our test - however, its stability couldn't quite live up to that of high-end smartphones.

If you step outside with the tablet and have location services enabled, then you are quickly and precisely located within one metre. All the major satellite networks are supported, including SBAS for even more precise locating.
Of course, we took the Oukitel RT7 Titan with us to perform a practical test - this time in our car. Our test device showed that it could trace our driven route very accurately. Only seldomly did it record our route imperfectly but even then, it was never massively off-course. This means you can use the Oukitel tablet very well for locating on the go or for navigation purposes.
We took the quite precise Garmin Venu 2 smartwatch with us on this trip.
Cameras – The night-vision lens takes sharp photos
Tablet cameras usually aren't the best quality, however, the Oukitel RT7 Titan offers one big highlight: Aside from its 48-megapixel main camera (which we will talk about shortly), the tablet also features a 20-MP camera that works in the dark with the help of infrared diodes. Although you can only take photos in black and white using this lens, they are surprisingly sharp and detailed. Of course, this only works up to a certain distance - but the diodes can illuminate a large room well enough in complete darkness to achieve usable images.
The main camera can, of course, take photos in color and it is especially suitable for scanning QR codes or documenting processes. In good lighting, you can take quite good snapshots of objects up close that show an average level of detail. In low-light conditions, the dynamic could be better in darker areas and in total, the images appear quite grainy.
A third lens completes the lineup on the back of the device: a relatively low-resolution 2-megapixel macro lens. It can be used using a special mode and can take decent close-up photos if there is enough light, for example of structures or patterns.
The front-facing camera has a maximum resolution of 32 megapixels and in bright light, it takes sharp selfies which, unfortunately, only show few details in darker areas.

Main camera flowerMain camera surroundingsMain camera low-lightWe put the main camera to the test again in our photo lab: Here, we took photos of standardized motifs using fixed lighting conditions. With full studio lighting, only the centre of the test chart was sharp, and the sharpness decreased quickly towards the edges. At only 1 lux illuminance, the subject was recognizable but very blurry on closer inspection.
Accessories and warranty – Lots included with the tablet
When it comes to accessories, Oukitel has included quite a big package: Buyers don't just receive a 33-watt charger, USB cable and a SIM tool.
In turn, you also get a big metal stand that can also be used as a handle for the device. It just has to be attached to the screw holes on the back of the tablet using the supplied screws and screwdriver. It also comes with a carrying strap, so you can hang the tablet over your shoulders if gets too heavy, and it also features a hand strap in order for you to securely hold the tablet.
The manufacturer offers a 24-month warranty on all of its products.
Input devices & operation – No fingerprint sensor
The RT7 Titan's touchscreen is precise and can be operated well even in the corners. However, the display only has a 60-Hz refresh rate, meaning inputs look a little delayed compared to modern high-end phones or tablets. You can optionally make the touchscreen more sensitive so that you can also use it when you are wearing gloves.
The tablet doesn't feature a fingerprint sensor. You can only unlock the phone biometrically using 2D facial recognition. This makes it not quite as safe from manipulation, but it still works comfortably and reliably in everyday use.
Display – Needs to be brighter for outdoor use
The 10.1-inch screen has an aspect ratio of 16:10 and an adjusted Full HD resolution. This makes it on par with the product class.
The manufacturer states the ruggedized tablet's screen as having an average maximum brightness of 400 cd/m². We even achieved a bit more in our test with the spectrophotometer and CalMAN software.
However, the screen's average brightness of 426 cd/m² is still significantly lower than that of the Samsung or Panasonic competitors. As a result, you will have difficulties reading the tablet outdoors on bright days.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM not detected | |||
In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
In terms of color accuracy, we couldn't get the IPS monitor to depict them any more accurately by switching to the color profile "natural": We still noted a significant blue tint and it depicts almost all color tones wrongly, meaning you shouldn't rely on being able to assess print or video colors on this screen.
Even at low brightness levels, we didn't identify any PWM flickering. However, its reaction times are quite slow, which could especially be a problem when playing mobile games, as they rely on fast reactions.

The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 37 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms). |
Outside, the tablet has to make do with slightly low brightness levels on very bright days. This makes it difficult to read from the screen when the sun is shining directly on it - in this case, you should seek out some shade.
The tablet's viewing angles are very good in total: From all sides, the picture can easily be identified with low color deviations.
Performance – Good values for the price range
A MediaTek Dimensity 720 is used as the device's SoC. It features four fast and four efficient cores with a clock of up to 2 GHz. This lets the Oukitel RT7 Titan achieve decent performance values and the system feels very smooth at all times. However, it couldn't come close to the power of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro in our benchmark tests.

Its graphics performance depicts a similar picture: In its price range, the robust tablet doesn't have to shy away, however, there are faster outdoor tablets too. More complex tasks in Full HD resolution couldn't always be tackled without dropped frames during the benchmarks - in 4K resolution, it only managed to achieve very few frames per second.

Games – Mostly only at 30 fps
The Oukitel RT7 Titan has a very good format for gaming - it isn't so big that you can't reach the controls but at the same time, it has enough screen space and sits nicely in your hands. Its heavy weight is the only issue - after longer gaming sessions, your arms get a bit tired.
We didn't manage to run any of the tested games at more than 40 fps, but this value was reached quite reliably and games are loaded quickly thanks to the tablet's fast storage. We tested the fps rates using the software from GameBench.
Real professional gamers will be a little annoyed by the comparatively low frame rates, even though they are smooth. However, if you just like to play games casually every now and then, then the Oukitel RT7 Titan is a device that makes gaming feel fun.
Emissions – The tablet barely gets warm
Temperature
Even after a long time, the Oukitel RT7 Titan's surfaces don't feel warm to the touch. We only noted one part of the case which got a little warmer.
Thanks to its large case size, heat dissipation seems to work well, as the 3DMark stress tests confirm. They showed minimal system throttling after many runs of the same benchmark.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 36.2 °C / 97 F, compared to the average of 33.7 °C / 93 F, ranging from 20.7 to 53.2 °C for the class Tablet.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 30.7 °C / 87 F, compared to the average of 33.2 °C / 92 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 24.5 °C / 76 F, compared to the device average of 30 °C / 86 F.

Speakers
Stereo speakers make it possible to hear the person you are calling, listen to music or watch videos. If required, the Oukitel tablet can get quite loud and it can even stand out quite well from construction work noise levels. Its sound is average and lacks deep mids and basses.
You can connect headphones or external speakers via USB-C or Bluetooth. The following wireless audio codecs are supported: AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC, LHDC V, V3 and V4.

Power consumption
All in all, the Oukitel RT7 Titan has quite frugal power consumption levels compared to its competitors: In part also due to its relatively dim maximum display brightness, the tablet shows quite a low consumption, especially under load.
The device can be charged at a maximum of 33 watts. Due to its huge battery, it takes up to 7 hours to charge the device back up to 100 %.

Runtimes
Its massive 32,000 mAh battery is surely one of the Oukitel RT7 Titan's biggest highlights. This results in astounding runtimes: The tablet lasted for 29:24 hours during our WLAN test and under minimal load, the device runs for well over 3 days before the battery runs out. With a battery as big as this, you can actually even use the tablet as a power bank for other devices on the go.
However, our tests also showed that runtimes do not necessarily increase linearly with battery capacity: Samsung's Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro offers half as long runtimes but doesn't even have a quarter of the battery capacity. Oukitel might be able to optimize the runtimes with future software updates.
If you are out in the wilderness for several days or cannot or do not want to charge as often for any other reasons, the Oukitel RT7 Titan is one of the Android tablets with the longest runtimes at present.

Pros
Cons
Verdict – Really good apart from its dim display
Oukitel's RT7 Titan is a tablet of the extremes: Very heavy, very long runtimes, very well protected from environmental influences and it comes with an extensive accessory kit. In noisy surroundings, its loud speakers are a big plus and it is also nice to see that Oukitel has thought to include a glove-mode for the touchscreen.
Unfortunately, the screen doesn't make all too good an impression outside - it simply needs to be brighter to be able to remain legible on sunny days. Its color depiction isn't the most accurate either, as it shows quite a big blue tint. Still, it manages to work without any PWM flickering.
In view of its price class, the tablet's performance is more than sufficient and it can be operated smoothly in everyday use. Its main camera is good enough for snapshots and the night-vision camera is a real highlight: You can take sharp black-and-white pictures even in complete darkness thanks to infrared diodes.
Users are treated to stock Android on the tablet and don't have to deal with much third-party software. Its storage is fast and abundant, the tablet barely gets warm under load and it offers lots of 4G and 5G frequencies, meaning it's also possible to access the internet internationally.
The tablet's heavy weight should be kept in mind if you are thinking of purchasing it. Even so, Oukitel has included lots of accessories that make it possible to use and transport the tablet practically.
The Oukitel RT7 Titan is bulky and heavy but in turn, it offers a lot: High resistance, long runtimes, a great night-vision camera, lots of storage and mobile data.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro is quite a bit faster, however, you have to make do with less storage. The 5G version is also currently a lot more expensive than our test device.
