Is this OUKITEL phone any good - it appears to have a massive battery and is huge - I recently bought a DOOGEE tablet - which is excellent but don't know about the phone.. any advice ?

    I got excited about 'lightweight' but it doesn't say what the actual weight is.
    Just wondering what else isn't mentioned but I am extremely cautious.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    290 grams (well over half a pound) which is pretty heavy as most phones are less than 200g even the Pixel 9proXl is only 220g. It also looks like a pretty big beast and nearly twice as  thick at 13mm (that's half an inch for the oldies)

    I reckon it would be a bit like carrying half a house brick around

    It's not going to be a phone you carry around in your pocket.....Ridiculous weight.

    Is it chunky because it's a ruggedised phone? If so you probably won't go far wrong. I've been buying ruggedised for a long while now, brands like Blackview, Oukitel, Ulefone, etc. tend to be very good value for money and they last!!

    Meh it's decent for the price.

    But it's more a battery and handheld cudgel, than phone.

    It's only 4G. It claims to have 24Gb memory, which you would normally only get on phones costing £500+.  Reviews appear questionable. GMSarena have no entry for this model.

    On the other hand, the semi-detached house the seller runs their company from has a cute pug ornament in the window.
