Design and Display
Looking at the Oukitel U22, one can say this is a solidly built smartphone. The body features metal to boost the ruggedness. But at 9.6 millimetres in thickness, this is no slim device. It comes in white and black colour variants.
Oukitel U22 crams in a large 5.5-inch IPS display with an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. We are talking a pixel density of about 267 ppi. This could be better, but probably not at this price.
Camera
An increasing number of devices seem to come with dual rear cameras these days. The Oukitel U22 goes further by adding two snappers in front as well. It is probably the world’s first phone to offer a quad camera setup.
On the rear are 13MP and 2MP sensors. You will find another 8MP plus 2MP on the front. There is also flash support for both the primary and secondary cameras. On paper, this phablet promises better quality images than most similar priced rivals can boast.
