Verdict on the Oukitel WP210
A nice, relatively lightweight outdoor phone with good battery life, protection from the elements, a fast SoC and even an OLED display for greater colour brilliance. It actually sounds too good to be true. And yet the Oukitel WP210 largely lives up to its own claims:
You can choose between a faux leather back or a textured plastic back, the power is sufficient for more demanding activities, and the battery lasts for up to two days. Charging is reasonably fast, and the cameras take decent pictures.
Overall, Oukitel has struck a sweet spot with the WP210 between robustness and design, between outdoor compatibility and performance. The manufacturer also offers the phone at a competitive price in it's own store.
However, the dream is somewhat marred by the display's inaccurate colour representation. Despite OLED technology, the screen is not overly bright, and you have to put up with PWM flickering. The lack of an update promise is also a problem.

Specifications
Case and features – Three different backs
The Oukitel WP210 is an outdoor phone that, at 311 grams, is still reasonably comfortable to hold. The casing is not overly bulky, and the manufacturer has taken care to avoid an industrial design with visible screws.
Oukitel has come up with three stylish colours for its robust mobile phone, which also differ in terms of material: while the grey and blue versions feature a subtle diamond pattern on the back, the red option stands out with its faux leather back.
All versions are robust, as the device is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and is IP68/69K certified. This means that drops from moderate heights and shallow freshwater should not be a problem.
512 GB of mass storage and 12 GB of RAM are standard features given the high price point of this outdoor smartphone. An infrared blaster allows you to control televisions, and NFC enables contactless payment.
Communication and operation – Smooth operation
WiFi 6 is used as the fastest WLAN standard. The data rates achieved are OK at around 600–700 Mbit/s on average, but there are frequent brief but severe drops in transmission speeds.
Many frequencies and 5G are available for the mobile network. However, the WP210 is not a true world phone, so you should check before travelling abroad.
The 120 Hz screen displays touchscreen inputs very quickly and the system feels smooth. Operation is precise and the hardware buttons are easy to feel. On the left is a smart key that can be freely assigned.
The phone can be unlocked using a fingerprint sensor behind the screen, which proved reliable in testing, or with 2D facial recognition via the front camera.

Software and sustainability – No promise of updates
Android 15 is used as the operating system, with hardly any changes. The security patches date from June 2025 and are therefore still reasonably up to date at the time of testing. However, the manufacturer does not say how long updates can be expected.
It is annoying that Oukitel has not sought Widevine certification, which means that videos from most streaming services can only be enjoyed in SD.
A lot of plastic is used in the packaging, and there are no signs of genuine sustainability efforts.
Cameras – Acceptable image quality
A 108-megapixel camera is located on the back of the smartphone. It is supported by a depth sensor for blur effects and a macro camera, both of which have very low resolution. The main camera takes pictures that appear somewhat cool in terms of colour choice and often lack a little sharpness.
However, the camera can be used without any problems for snapshots on the go, and even in low light, the results are quite decent.
4K videos can be recorded at a maximum of 30 fps. They also appear somewhat blurry at times, but are satisfactory overall.
There is a 32-megapixel camera on the front for selfies, which turn out reasonably well. However, the dynamics in dark areas could be better.

Display – Even with OLED display
Surprisingly, the Oukitel WP210 even features an OLED display, which is rather unusual for outdoor phones in this price range. However, this also means that you have to put up with PWM flickering at low brightness levels.
The maximum brightness of 523 cd/m² is only average, especially for an outdoor mobile phone. The colour representation is inaccurate in all possible settings.

The display backlight flickers at 120 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) . The frequency of 120 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8320 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||

Performance, emissions and battery life – plenty of power with the Oukitel WP210
The MediaTek Dimensity 8200 is a powerful SoC that easily outperforms similarly priced outdoor phones. The Oukitel WP210 offers very smooth operation and only struggles with very demanding applications. Under prolonged load, the SoC hardly throttles at all, so performance is maintained.
The mono speaker can get quite loud and shows an emphasis on the mid-range in the diagram, with bass barely noticeable. In practice, this results in usable sound, but audio fans will prefer to use headphones or external speakers, which can be connected via USB-C or Bluetooth. Many audio codecs enable good sound transmission without cables.
The battery is quite large at 8,800 mAh, and the runtimes achieved in our Wi-Fi test are 18:39 hours, which is also suitable for longer outdoor trips. The phone can only be charged via cable, but then with up to 45 watts. A full charging cycle takes about 2:30 hours.
