Oukitel is one of the reliable Chinese OEMs out there you could trust. The Oukitel U18 is set to feature a unique 21:9 aspect ratio and highly reduced bezels. Tagged an iPhone X clone, the smartphone have a striking similarity to the Apple flagship although it lacks the edge to edge display seen in the latter. This smartphone features a nice design alongside a large display real estate. The mid-range smartphone features a number of interesting features like a dual rear camera, a fairly large battery and most especially the design which is more or less modeled after iPhone X.

Design and Display
The Oukitel U18 is one of the few iPhone X dubs that have come across. The second in fact after the other smartphone from Leagoo. So if you are imagining what using iPhone X would be like you could start from here and check out the budget smartphone. Although the bezels at the sides are more or less absent there is still a little bottom bezel as opposed to none of the iPhone flagship.
One of the things that would surely catch your attention is the display. Although not high resolution like you’d want it to be, the smartphone features a unique 21:9 aspect ratio. What you have here is a 5.85-inch 1440 X 720 (HD+) pixels display with a pixel density of 275 ppi.
Battery and Camera
Oukitel has done well to feature a fairly large battery in this smartphone considering the mediocre battery capacity featured by most of the other smartphones in this category. The Oukitel U18 comes with a 4, 000mAh non removable Li-Po battery. This should be enough for a day even under slight heavy usage.
Most Chinese OEMs of late, Oukitel inclusive now equip their smartphones with a dual camera. Same goes for Oukitel U18 with a 13MP + 2MP rear camera with dual flush and an 8MP front camera.
Hardware and Software
As a mid-range smartphone, it features the same tier of hardware. By that, I’m referring to an Octa-core MediaTek MT6750T processor alongside a 4 core ARM Mali-T860 MP2 GPU. Although this is not the best mid-range SoC around, it sure is enough to get the work done and give a smooth performance too.
Internal memory is important to get more from your smartphone in terms of app multitasking, space for app installation and for a smooth performance also. In that vein, the smartphone comes with 4GB of internal memory which is more than enough and 64Gb built-in storage expandable to 128GB. Finally, the Oukitel U18 runs on Android 7.0 Nougat straight from the box.
