Design and Display
As far as bezel reduction go, the Oukitel K5 has a fair portion of that although the top and bottom seems to have an abundant amount of it. The frame is made of metal but it is a bit chunky with a thickness of 10.1mm. Even if the battery is a bit large it still doesn’t justify the thickness as well as a weight of 206.8g.

Visuals on an entry level smartphone is not really that good to be honest. With that in mind, the Oukitel sports a decent 5.7-inch of display field and of course it is LCD. Contrast is good enough with a resolution of 1440 X 720 pixels to light things up.

You can always count on the K-series of Oukitel smartphones to have you covered in the area of battery size. Holding up the tradition, the smartphone has a 4, 000mAh of battery power but with no fast charge. Not to worry, fast charge is not a feature you come across in this tier of entry level smartphones.
Cameras on the smartphone is of low level quality, one of the reasons it has a cheap price tag.

The duo on the camera is a 13MP main sensor and a 2MP assisting sensor.
