Oukitel Y4800 is was announced back in May and is the first member of the new “Young Series” (Y stands for Young). The device comes with a Samsung 48MP AI camera and the powerful mid-range SoC Helio P70 together with Young OS based on Android 9 Pie. The Global 1st presale will be held from July 22nd to July 29th offering early buyers $50 off the retail price of $249.99. Of course, the killer feature is the 48MP camera, so let’s take a look at the test conducted by Oukitel Lab between the Y4800 and Redmi Note 7.
The Y4800 sorts the Samsung GM1 48MP sensor with f/1.8 aperture. That’s 4 times higher than the mainstream 12MP sensors. When in 48MP mode, the single pixel is 0.8µm which allows you to take wonderful photos with better resolution. As always, the MP count don’t matter a lot if the sensor itself is small in size and for that reason, Samsung made it big enough to take advantage as more light as possible. The sensor size of the GM1 48MP sensor reaches to 1/2 inch, 56% larger than normal 1/2.8inch sensors. Also, 48MP mean large resolution and that becomes handy when cropping or zooming in photos. The front camera also adopts a Samsung 16MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture.
No one will claim that a $250 phone shoots better photos than a $1K flagship but the difference between these two isn’t that big. The Oukitel Y4800 takes comparatively good photos with the rear camera. No matter the exposure, white balance, or sharpness, Y4800 handles quite good. The color is improved to be brighter to a certain degree, and due to the 1/2 inch large sensor size, the dynamic range is excellent.
As for the rest of the specs, there is a 6.3″ FHD+ waterdrop display and the Helio P70 SoC is backed by 6GB of RAM plus 128GB of storage. This combination is unprecedented in this price category and that makes the Y4800 unbeatable. Also, there is a 4000mAh battery that the Young OS takes perfect advantage of, resulting in excellent battery performance. If you are looking for a long standby smartphone with a good camera, go ahead and add it to your wishlist before the presale starts to be informed when it goes live.
