Verdict on the Oukitel WP300: A smartphone that will fullfill the wishes of most outdoor enthusiasts

As a long-time reviewer of smartphones, you often think you've seen it all. But small manufacturers like Oukitel can still surprise with niche products, such as the Oukitel WP300, which we recently reviewed here at Notebookcheck. The model offers solid performance and a bright screen. Many other smartphones have this too, of course, but what really sets the Oukitel WP300 apart are the following factors:

• A very robust housing with IP68 and MIL-STD-810 certifications. This means you can use it in dirty environments and in shallow water.
• A huge 16,000 mAh battery, which lasted a very long time in our Wi-Fi test. This means you don't have to worry about running out of battery on longer trips into the wilderness.
• A very bright light is integrated into the back, which can be activated as a flashlight in addition to the flash LEDs. It shines as brightly as a 5-watt LED bulb and can easily illuminate a small room.
• This light can even be removed and used as a portable flashlight or headlamp.
• Instead of the light, you can also use the included secondary display, which can display the time and other things. This has an earpiece and a microphone on the back, so you can also use it as a Bluetooth headset.
• Or you can take the secondary display, place it in the included wristband and turn it into a smartwatch with basic functions.

The versatility of the Oukitel WP300 is arguably its greatest strength. However, users will have to contend with the relatively heavy weight of over 500 grams. No wonder then that Oukitel even includes a carrying strap for the smartphone.
