Oukitel WP35 Pro: Rugged smartphone features night vision camera and 11,000mAh battery

Oukitel has officially launched, or at least unveiled, a new smartphone named the WP35 Pro. The Chinese manufacturer says that this is a particularly slim device in comparison to competing handsets. It measures 0.6 inches in height and is said to be the slimmest rugged 5G smartphone with a battery capacity of 11,000mAh, which can certainly be called a niche. The WP35 Pro further weighs 12.7oz and its battery can be charged with up to 33 watts.

As usual, the rugged smartphone has IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certifications, which should prevent damage from dust, water and drops up to a certain height. Moreover, the WP35 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 with 12GB of RAM. The chipset should be fast enough for regular usage, but the WP35 Pro is certainly not a gaming smartphone.

Either way, it has a rather generous 512GB of mass storage, which can be expanded with a microSD card if users can live without a second physical SIM. Android 14 is installed out of the box, but users should not expect any major software updates.

Meanwhile, the 6.6-inch screen has a resolution of 1,080 x 2,408 pixels and a refresh rate of just 60Hz. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The main camera has a resolution of 64 megapixels, and there is an additional 8MP night vision camera. The selfie camera on the front has 32 megapixels.

The new smartphone is already listed on AliExpress for a price of $199, and shipping to the US is available. However, many Oukitel smartphones eventually land on Amazon, so prospective buyers might want to wait until the WP35 Pro is listed there.
