According to a recent tender, Oukitel announced its presale for the flagship Oukitel WP10 from the 23rd of November for just $369.99. This budget revolves more or less around the price of CAT S52 that was released by CAT around the same time last year. And since both of these phones share a similar price range, let’s compare them and see what each offers.

To begin with, let’s start with their similar attributes. WP10 and S52 are both produced for the global market and cover all the bands to offer versatility. Both the devices feature an IP68 and IP69K rating and have a MIL-STD-810G certification for resistance against dust, water and impact. They also support dual nano-SIM.

As for the differences, one of the biggest differences between these devices is that WP10 supports both SA and NSA modes while the CAT S52 features 4G network compatibility. WP10 is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 800 chipset having 7nm process technology with an integrated 5G modem and a 128GB of UFS 2.1 flash storage with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM. S52, on the other hand, has a MediaTek Helio P35 8-core processor that runs at 2.3GHz with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage that can be expanded up to 256GB via MicroSD.

In terms of usage, Oukitel WP10 packs an 8000mAh battery that offers up to 48 hours of active operation, while the CAT S52’s 3100mAh battery 24 hours of use.

Oukitel flagship features a Sony 48MP quad rear camera, capable of shooting 4k videos at 30fps and a 16MP AI selfie camera for clicking decent quality pictures. The CAT S52 phone, on the contrary, boasts a 12MP primary rear camera that uses a Sony dual pixel sensor with an f/1.8 lens. It’s EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation) feature offers improved low-light performance while the 8MP front camera is perfect for selfies and video calling.

The OUKITEL flagship- WP10 is currently up for presale at AliExpress OUKITEL Official store for just $369.99, making it one of the most budget-friendly devices in the market. And since CAT S52 launched much earlier, it is already up for sale on websites like Amazon. With all the differences and the similarities laid out, it all comes down to what the fans choose and prefer, considering both the devices have a similar price range.

Additionally, GizmoChina is conducting a WP10 giveaway where one lucky winner will get the device for free. To know more about it, click on the link below.

Rumors making rounds around the web since last year were talking about a Helio P90 that would be announced by the rugged smartphone manufacturer, Blackview. Recently, the company announced its latest flagship Series -BV9800- and expectations were contradicted as it turned out that they adopted Helio P70 instead. Of course, that didn’t affect the new series in any way as it has many other killer features like the FLIR® Lepton® thermal camera as well as a Sony® 48MP sensor and until now the Indiegogo campaign has reached $520,000 backed by 1300 backers.

That was until today as the Blackview Marketing manager, Yan, revealed that his team is busy for the upcoming Helio P90 rugged phone, Blackview BV9900, that will launch on Indiegogo before the end of this year. We don’t expect to be widely available on e-commerce platforms before January, however, it is expected to be announced in December. Judging by its name, it will be the company’s next flagship and will carry a competitive features combo, otherwise, it wouldn’t launch on Indiegogo where customers always pick products that sell themselves.

According to the marketing manager, the upcoming Helio P90 flagship phone is a great addition to the BV series, so you can expect the same waterproof, drop-proof and dustproof performance as in every rugged smartphone from Blackview. That’s all the information we have so far, we’ll keep you posted if anything new comes up.
