Oukitel launches world’s first smartphone with 10,000 mAh battery

Mumbai: Smartphones are evolving at an indomitable pace with new features being incorporated on a regular basis. From fancy fingerprint ID scanners to amazing UHD cameras, smartphones have it all these days.

However, having so many high-end features, apps and other software drains your handset faster than you can realise.

Of late, smartphone manufacturers are increasingly focusing on providing larger capacity to support a diverse range of applications.

That said, Chinese smartphone manufacturing company Oukitel has taken battery capacity to a new level and launched the K10000 with a staggering 10,000mAh battery, which also makes it the world’s first handset with a 15-day battery life.

Apart from the K10000’s massive battery capacity, the device employs a 5.5-inch HD IPS display with a 720x1280 pixel resolution. Also, the ‘hexa-faceted’ edge design looks quite impressive.

Powered by a 1GHz quad-core processor along with 2GB RAM, the device fails to make an impact, but is still decent enough to pull off daily tasks with ease.

It also comes with 16GB internal storage capacity, which can be expanded to 32Gb via external microSD card.

Besides, the handset runs on an Android Lollipop 5.1 OS and comes with a range of smart gestures and applications. The 8MP primary camera and the 2MP front camera are decent considering the low price of the device.

According to the company, the 10,000mAh battery also comes with flash charging, which fully charges the device in 3.5 hours.

The device can also act as a powerbank utilising an OTG cable. The company claims that the handset will be left with 10 per cent charge even after fully powering up three iPhones.

Although no announcements regarding an India launch has been made, you can pre-order the device at a price of $239.99, which will be shipped via Gearbeast starting January 2.
