Great for my purpose
Oukitel wp26Edit: 15/10/24Just dropped the beast on the floor about 4ft, It passed the test, it bounced and no issues what so ever. Had the phone for a year now, its battery, and the phone are working perfectly. This is a great phoneReason for purchaseI have never bought a mobile phone in my life, and never felt the need to. I started to get heart arrhythmia and also had a heart attack 18 months ago. The heart clinic recommended I get a Kardia 6 lead device that can do ECG from home with a mobile phone I was given a Sony Xperia by my wife. It worked OK but mobile signal was weak, but it did connect to the Kardia ECG. A couple of weeks ago the bluetooth started to fail, so I decided to research a decent mobile and came across the Oukitel WP26. I liked the fact it was rugged but more importantly, it has a great torch that could be used in a power cut with a good battery that lasts. My other reason was bluetooth connection to my Kardia device.When it arrived it felt heavy, but very well made and robust, it was easy to set up, plus it did not have all the garbage like facebook, whatsapp and all the other rubbish apps that I would never use. You can choose to install them if you wish, but all I want is a solid phone that can double as a medical device and emergency light. I love the larger feel of this phone and is easier to use with arthritic hands, the icons are easier to see and use, and my Lebara sim worked first time with stronger signal than in the Sony Xperia. I had to do and update once I finished setting up, and my Kardia ECG works flawlessly.I watched videos before purchase of idiots trying to destroy the phone by frying it and dropping it, hitting nails and burning it etc, but for the normal user, I think this is one of the best potential safety and medical devices you could want if your of the older generation. As I say its heavy, but works very well. All the cameras work very well including night vision, and no bloatware running in the background, I switched off some of the apps I wont use and it runs fast, with good sound that I can hear. For the price, this is a lot of phone for your buck. My only quibble is that the factory fitted screen protector has a minute pin head air bubble underneath. But I will be keeping the phone. I have only had it a few days, if it develops issues later on, I will update my review. It gets my vote for being the best phone I could ever want and does everything I need it to do and should I drop it, hopefully it will not break. I cannot speak for the Oukitel models but the WP26 is superb on first impression.

Good phone
It is a heavy phone, but the 10 ampa hour battery lasts a long time.The only feature that I miss is that you can't take pictures without logging into the phone.The camera is good and screen quality is excellent.The fingerprint recognition works most of the time.Overall very pleased with the phone and at the cost it perfect to use when out at sea.

No manual and little support
It doesn't come with a manual and it is difficult to find one online. When I first bought it I tried contacting their support without success. As an example I was trying to disable the camera flash earlier today and couldn't find out how to do that. The battery is good..twice the capacity of most phones

Big battery, heavy, capable
The battery lives up to the hype. Having had to spend some time in hospital my phone has been on more or less 24/7. Excellent!The 1080p screen is good enough to watch the news, the odd video, and play non demanding games. Fine!It's not the most powerful of machines and there is some noticeable lag at times. The 'Doke' interface over android is not that bad, nor is it that good. Some of the settings that are used often and most skins make readily available are difficult to find - DND for one.The initial setup comes without an app drawer but it is available and works fine. I switched it on quickly.The special purpose programmable button. I haven't found any information and haven't been able to get it to do anything.Is this a phone for everyone? No.Will I use it long term? Probably - the up to 1Tb of expandable storage makes it a decent option for storing your music, photos, videos, books.Is it a 'secure' long term device probably not OS & security updates so far have not been great.Hardy - absolutelyOutdoorsy - YesCute? Don't be ridiculous it eats cute for breakfastBe careful handling it, if you drop it you could injure someone.

Absolutely brilliant for the cost
I purchased this to take with me to the Philippines due to wanting a phone with long battery life. It’s very heavy and quite bulky, and may not be suited to everybody’s needs but it is a good quality item and the battery life is as stated in the advert. And also the camping light is absolutely brilliant. Will definitely recommend

All round good phone
It's heavy, but you're buying a big battery phone. Takes the knocks, takes the rain, takes reasonable photos, at night or in the pool. Great light on the campsite. Really useful. If you drop it, get your foot out of the way quickly. Does all you want and is good on the dash for satnav or music. Wish I'd waited 2 days, it £50 cheaper now. It's what I wanted, and some I didn't know I wanted. Recommended buy.

Nice solid tough phone.
Nice phone with a monster of a battery and awsome LED light. Good all round phone which I liked a lot but the graphics capability wasn't quite as good as what I needed for a specific app. Ran everything else no problem and I really didn't want to have to send it back.

Poor quality
Phone fell out of my pocket as I was going to sit down so wasn't even that high from the ground and it cracked the screen and the screen protector. So much for a rugged phone.
