OUKITEL WP1 Review | Handheld Delivery Device

Don’t expect it to handle many games or intensive apps well. It can play Flappy Bird like a champ, so some casual gamers will be happy with it. I tried to run Asphalt 9: Legends for kicks, and it actually worked! I could race with it, but loading took forever, it crashed a few times, and there was obvious lag in button pressing. Not to mention the tiny screen and bad resolution made it really hard to do well in races.

The company expects to sell the gadget mostly to men in their 40s and 50s, an age group where men apparently start becoming particularly concerned with body odor, according to SoraNews24.

How do the major companies and mid-level manufacturers make a profit within the Rugged Handheld Electronic Devices Market?

Audio with the Atom is very poor. That’s not to say it isn’t loud but, aside from eyesight related problems users might have with this smartphone, it is not high-quality in any sense of the word. Bass is nearly non-existent and high-tones are tinny. This is not an Android device for audiophiles. Audio quality over headphones or Bluetooth is as good as can be expected but there’s no specialty hardware there either. So the Atom shouldn’t be expected to produce the high-fidelity noise of modern flagships or even some mid-range devices.

But the keyboard isn’t backlit. The screen wobbles a bit when you touch it (which is sadly pretty common for convertible tablet-style laptops). And the fingerprint sensor can sometimes take a few tries to recognize my finger — even after I registered the same finger with Windows twice.

I have no need for PTT communications, so it’s good the phone has an option for changing the button’s functionality. You can choose to launch any app with the PTT button. I picked the camera, but any app of your choice will work the same. The one downside to switching the button’s functionality is that it won’t launch any other app with the screen off (it does with Zello).

Gunpei Yokoi’s philosophy of "Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology" had a lot of merit to it. By using technology they’d already developed and understood when making the Game Boy, Nintendo was able to make it cost effective and reliable. But just because you’re working with old technology, doesn’t mean you can’t improve it. The Game Boy was built off much of the same tech as the NES, but outclassed its older console brother. The handheld was twice as fast despite both systems using 8-bit processors, and the Game Boy had four times as much memory. The lack of color helped.

Windows Hello limits the attack surface for Windows 10 by eliminating the need for passwords and other methods under which identities are more likely to be stolen. “Windows Hello lets a user authenticate a Microsoft account or a non-Microsoft service that supports Fast Identity Online (FIDO) by having the user set up a gesture” such as a facial scan, iris scan or fingerprint to log into a device, said Anoosh Saboori, senior program manager lead at Microsoft.

Our real-world testing lined up with those results fairly well and the life of the battery could definitely be improved by turning on power-saving features or activating auto-brightness settings. Charging times were similarly noted as being within just a few minutes off from the claimed figures whether charging wirelessly or via cable. This is one of the least expensive devices ever made that ships with wireless fast charging. In fact, the feature is not often seen outside of flagships or upper-mid-range smartphones. So it is definitely noteworthy that OUKITEL chose to include it here. On the performance side, all except the most demanding games seem to run without any latency or drag on the hardware. Whether the WP1 can handle a given title or intensive app is going to depend on how the app was coded to run — whether it relies more heavily on the GPU or CPU and how the code is written. With that said, it appears as though this particular device will run the majority of apps without incident and we didn’t notice any input delay or problems with the underlying firmware or its UI.

In short: the Palm Phone is better, mostly because of design and the much better screen. I would gladly pay the extra $90 (plus $10 extra monthly fee) for it if I wanted a secondary phone and was with Verizon.  Those that don’t fit the requirements can go with the next best thing in tiny smartphones: the Unihertz Atom.
