Unboxing

Unboxing the K4000 Pro will see you facing a 145.6 by 72 mm smartphone that was carefully layed with a transparent rubber pack. Inside the box, you’ll also find a 5v/1.5A output charger and a USB cable, a warranty certificate and the quick guide.

Hardware And Design

Oukitel might not have the most beautifully designed nor the slimmest smartphones out there but sure have their say in terms of design, the K4000 pro is finely crafted with a 2.5D CND metal chasis around the border with a curved arc design, the arc design which is absent in the former K4000 is said to give the device more protection from drop falls, this literally makes it a drop-proof smartphone.



At the top, you’ll find a micro USB port and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, the power button lays by the left as the volume adjustment keys occupies the right side of the device. Only the micro phone hole can be seen at the bottom.

The back is covered with a crocodile leather, when you decide to take off the cover, you’ll be looking at a big 4,600 mAh battery. There is a space for micro SDcard by the left and the two spaces for your micro and normal SIM cards at the other side.



Display

In the screen department is where the K4000 pro offered the most, it crammed a 5.0 inches screen with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels and a PPI of 294 which is just okay for a 5-inch screen. The screen has a full 3D support, the overall performance of the screen is really impressive, it looked like something higher than just 720 pixels although there’s a barely noticeable yellowish tint to its colors. White gets shifted a bit towards yellow when you look at the screen at an angle, but everything remains very clearly legible and the colors are very vibrant. The contrast and brightness are both obviously great.

The thickness of the screen is said to be 1.1 mm which is higher than the normal 0.7 mm found in most touch screen phones, the glass also has a protection of 9H hardness, highly resistant to scratches, pressure, shocks and drops. Three action button with no LED lights are located just below the screen; The back, home and menu button, the proximity sensor is located at the top with the front facing camera, there is no notification light in the the device.


OS and Processor

The Oukitel K4000 pro comes with android 5.1 lollipop pre-installed with quite cool features to enhance the user experience, The company will be releasing android 6.0 marshmallow update via OTA by the end of February for the k4000 pro along with the K10000 and K6000. It supports smart gesture such as: double tap to wake screen, slide up to torch and so on, some other features like ‘double tap home key to lock screen’ , ‘clip screen’ and so on are also available, see screenshots in source link.

The SoC on the K4000 Pro is supported by 2 GB of RAM. The native storage available on the K4000 Pro is 16 GB and it can be further expanded to up to 64 GB of microSD card if the user requires more storage space.

We ran an AnTuTu Benchmark test on the K4000 pro, check the source link for the result screenshots



Camera

The device has 8 Megapixel camera at the back with 13 Megapixel interpolated, this means the 8 MP camera can function as a 13 MP camera, as you can see in the AnTuTu benchmark records above, it shows 13 instead of 8 Megapixels for the camera. There is a single LED flash light just below the camera which will ensure bright pictures even in dark conditions, the camera can capture up to 4160 x 3120 pixel pictures, it also features auto focus, HDR, Geo-tagging, Panorama. The front facing camera has 2 Megapixel with 5 Megapixel interpolated, it can capture up to 2880 x 1728 pixel pictures.

From our personal user experience, it took 9 minutes of heavy browsing with full 3G before the battery went down by just 1%.



Conclusion

No doubts, the Oukitel K4000 pro was built with durability in mind, for those that find it difficult maintaining the screen of there touch screen smartphone and need something that can withstand those severe falls, frequent scratches an all those reckless handling, You should be thinking of getting a K4000 pro for your self, not only will get a relatively strong smartphone, you’ll also get a large battery and other cool features at a very affordable price of just 120 USD which is around NGN37,000 (with the current exchange rate) in Nigeria.

I just watched the video. Wait a minute, did u just call a 5.0V 1.5amp charger a fast charger? Seriously, are u kidding me? With a massive 4,600mah battery it would take like 6 hours to charge that phone. Even a normal 5v 2 amp charger will still take long to charge. I don't know what is wrong with these chinese companys. You make a phone with huge battery and u put a tiny 5v 1.5amp charger, then what's the point of having the huge battery when it will take forever to charge. If they can't have quick charge built in at least put a bigger charger. And that phone is too bulky, there are phones with same or bigger batterys that look slimmer.

From my user experience, it doesn't take as long as you're thinking to fully charge the phone, it charges real quick and battery last incredibly long. It takes about 3 hours to fully charge the device, those slimmer phones ain't as strong as the K4000 pro.
