Hands on video of the Oukitel K6000 pro

Oukitel have today sent over a Hands on video of the Oukitel K6000 pro showing off some menus on of the phone.

Checking out the video it would appear that the Oukitel K6000 Pro’s body and styling are similar to the original K6000, this time Oukitel have included a rear mounted finger print scanner.

Like the original K6000 the handset in the video does appear to be quite thick and large, possibly down to the small hands of the person using it combined with the fact the K6000 Pro like its younger brother features a 6000mAh battery.

Other notable points that help to set the newer Pro model apart from the original K6000 include the increased screen resoloution which has been bumped up from HD 720p to FHD 1080p, whilst the Quad core Mediatek MT6735 running at 1GHZ found in the original K6000 has also been upgraded to an Octa core Mediatek MT6753 running at 1.3GHZ.

If you like the idea of a phone with battery life that could see 2 or more days between charges but want even more processing power to make use of the onboard 6000mAh battery, a third option will also be made available, the Oukitel K6000 Premium which will come with 2k screen but more impressive will be the Deca core Mediatek MT6797 running at 2.5GHZ.

I am currently testing the original Oukitel K6000, the review for this should be finished in the next couple of days.

If Oukitel can get the rom right on either the Pro or the Premium versions of the K6000 running as smoothly as they have on the original K6000 and keep the battery life half decent this phone should attract a lot of buyers.

LiquidSmooth is a firmware based on the Android Open Source Project like most of the custom ROM. Today I shall describe the procedure to safely flash LiquidSmooth v4 for HTC Nexus 9 aka flounder. This ROM is based on Android v5.0.2 Lollipop so your Nexus 9 will be running this version of Android with stock like interface but enhanced in customizations.

HTC Nexus 9 is powered by a 2.3GHz Dual Core Denver processor with Nvidia Tegra K1 chipset. It has 2GB of RAM and comes in two variants 16GB (Wi-Fi) and 32GB (LTE). The tablet is on the top of the shelves for Nexus lovers. It has 8.9-inches Quad HD display with 1536 x 2048 pixels resolution which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Pre-requisites

1. You must have a custom recovery installed on your tablet. I would recommend TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) or CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery for this procedure.
2. Make sure you have battery left on your Nexus 9 before proceeding further
3. A USB cable to transfer file in the internal storage of your HTC Nexus 9.
4. This tutorial is only for Nexus 9, flashing LiquidSmooth from this article to any other device except Nexus 9 can harm your device. So don’t test is on Nexus 7 or Nexus smartphones.
5. Your Nexus 9 must be unlocked.

Disclaimer

If you are proceeding further then I will assume that you have successfully installed a custom recovery on your Nexus 9 tablet. You are also well aware of the consequence of flashing a custom ROM. It will void your tablets warranty so proceed with caution. If any mishap happen you can not/ will not blame GizmoChina or me for any kind of potential damage to you and to your tablet. Procedure is simple so I don’t think you will face any problem while flashing LiquidSmooth v4 for Nexus 9.
