The so-called infinity screen spreads swiftly through the mid-range. There are few manufacturers, usually from China, that do not have a model with this type of screen. And it is that the top terminals set a trend in the lower ranges. One of the last to arrive is the Oukitel K5000, an economical mobile with 5.7 inch screen without frames and a huge battery. But not only that, it also offers 4 GB of RAM and a front camera of no less than 21 megapixels. All this for 150 dollars, about 130 euros to change.
As we mentioned, the infinite screen is the new "must have" of any terminal. Even the cheapest models. Each manufacturer implements it in a different way, but the truth is that most follow the path set by Samsung's Galaxy S8. This is precisely what Oukitel has done with the new K5000. We have a smartphone very similar in shape to the Korean terminal.
So, we have a screen of 5.7 inches with a resolution of 1,440 x 720 pixels. The screen curves slightly to the sides thanks to the use of 2.5D glass. There is no lack of the 18: 9 format, which has become so fashionable. According to the manufacturer, the body-screen ratio is 90%.
The rest of the design also follows the current canons. The back cover is shiny and with rounded edges for easy grip. Due to the almost total elimination of the frames at the front, the fingerprint reader is located behind. Specifically just below the camera sensor.
Another of the most striking features of the Oukitel K5000 is its photographic set. Contrary to fashion, the manufacturer has decided to include a single sensor on its back. Specifically equips a Sony IMX135 sensor of 16 megapixels.
But the front camera is even more surprising. For it has been used a Samsung 3P3 nothing less than 21 megapixel sensor. It thus becomes one of the highest resolution front cameras on the market. Of course, we do not have more data on them.
Inside the Oukitel K5000 we have an eight-core MediaTek MT6750T processor. This is accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. This can be expanded using a microSD card up to 128GB.
We also have a huge 5,000 milliamp battery. According to the manufacturer, this will give us an autonomy of up to 3 days with normal use. These are probably very optimistic figures, but there is no doubt that autonomy will be above average.
In addition, the battery has fast charging and a USB Type-C connector. It is something very unusual in a terminal of this price.
In short, a mobile that seeks to offer the design of high-end mobile phones to the tightest pockets. The Oukitel K5000 goes on pre-sale today with a price of 150 dollars, about 130 euros. It will be in pre-sale until October 31, when it will be its official launch. From that moment its price will increase to 180 dollars, about 150 euros.
