Oukitel WP63: The Phone That Starts Fires
7 Nov
Summary
- The Oukitel WP63 includes a unique built-in ignitor for starting fires.
- It boasts a massive 20000 mAh battery, offering extreme longevity.
- The phone features a rugged design, an integrated USB-C cable, and a camping light.
The Oukitel WP63 emerges as an unusual rugged smartphone, distinguished by its integrated fire-starting ignitor, a feature rarely seen in mobile devices. This phone is engineered for adventure, featuring a substantial 20000 mAh battery that can potentially last a week on a single charge, ideal for extended outdoor excursions.
Beyond its fire-starting capability, the WP63 includes a bright camping light and a convenient built-in USB-C cable for charging and reverse charging other devices. While its processing power is modest, it runs Android 16 and offers 256GB of storage, with the option for expansion. The device is priced at $390 and is available in early November from Oukitel.
Its rugged design, weighing 629g, is built for durability rather than pocketability. The camera system includes a 64MP main sensor and an 8MP night vision camera, capable of decent photos but limited by digital zoom. The phone's charging speed is notably slow, requiring over four hours for a full recharge, making it crucial to plan charging times.
