AnonD-731363, 11 Nov 2022Man and your funny oh reply makes a day of whole GSM Arena ... moreWhy should such a large company lose its prestige and buy from an unknown company that may not be able to deliver a good quality product?
When you have as much money as they do, you won't be risking it.
You write some nonsense about life and you don't know how it works in life 🤣

    Honestly i can understand some countries and regions would have hard times fixing any brand.
    Just for example in Greece is Samsung brand well known but Half of greece is mainland and rest are smaller or bigger isles. If you live at one of the isls you will find hard time fixing anything regardless of the brand and usualy it will be self dependand fixing centre not one authorized by Samsung.
    So you will have to go elsewhere. Or sending device via post which is another burden thing but for sake of living in a small peacefull beautifull isle its nothing.
    Just sayin.

    Problem with oukitel its lack of being everywhere.
    Many countries have no idea such brand exist just like with Cherrymobile for example found only on Phillipines or CPA brand found only in some countries of cetral europe.
    Same goes for Akai brand etc.
    GSM arena knows like 100 phone brands but worldvide if we include small ones existing only in certain regions there would be like 500+ phone brands.

It's half the price for same quality according to you, you think Airbus doesn't know that or they choose to ignore it to buy more expensive shitty services 6 from Samsung?

          Every single day someone else gets banned and then he opens new acc with new email it takes few seconds of time.
          But will not solve anything.
          At least i told truth and you just some nonsense.

          Yes its true Airbus bought rugged phones from samsung but is also true for half the price they could have twice as much a lot better specced devices from other company such as Oukitel and their WP19.
          Fact is you understand the same thing, other fact is you anyway said some nonsense just to look like a number 1 guy in class.
          Rest been said.
          You funny oh guy but apart that having boring life and no life is the same thing you prefer both so you act as one.

              Lastly mineral and other resourceres are avalable only as long as we did not dig em out completely.
              With all that modern tech and evolution we are not far away from that.
              Lastly finding new mines is more difficult than exhausting existing ones with current techologies.
              By the way funding and running mine is a lot costlier as it was ever before and safety measures are at tottaly different levels from what it was 1000, 500, 200, 100, 50, even 20 years ago.

                  And yes oukitel is a cheap phoen it should be cheap. Samsung is all about marketing but comparing to other brands they arent better in quality.
                  Their low end phones last only as long as warranty.
                  And not even a flagship grade devices from Samsung last 5 years. Mostly 3 maybe 4 with luck. Samsung is all about money. Once your waranty is done for and your updates too phone dies.
                  Lastly Oukitel WP19 is heavier due to a 21 000 mAh battery but is way better to have device with giant battery last several days pretty easy than changing bateries every few hours and walk like xmas tree with batteries ahnging around you.

                    And to just put all the sensors in there, and speakers. If it's too long then they should have gone down to a 17:9 or 16:9 aspect ratio. I find anything from 18:9 to 20:9 to be too wide. While the 21:9 is acceptable since there are content (videos, games, sites, etc) designed with that ratio in mind.

                      AnonD-731363, 09 Nov 2022Man dont want to be rude but for xample Oukitel WP19 cost h... moreNah, this is a real phone.
                      The Oukitel WP19 is actually a really cheap phone that's covered in a cheap case and marketing. You can expect 4+ years of software updates from the Samsung, and maybe only 3 months from the Oukitel. Just look at the teardown, inside the Samsung is a metal layer, with the corners made out of plastic, for further shock improvement. It's not just a dumb case, it was designed to last that 5-Year period (unlike expensive luxury phones).

                      Samsung likely aren't making much money from it either, it's a fleet device. Same thing happens in cars.

                      But most importantly, I can't see the Oukitel having a User Removable Battery. It's got a large battery but can become a safety hazard, and makes it very thick and very heavy. It's much simpler to have a medium device, and carry a couple batteries with you. Much more convenient than bringing a PowerBrick or a Thick Phone or Finding a charging station.

                          Company like Airbus would do better if they purchase from Oukitel.

                            Samsung Xcover6:
                            - Headphone Jack (great)
                            - microSD slot (great)
                            - SIM card slot (great)
                            - built-in case protection (sweet)
                            - IP68 resistance (nice)
                            - User Removable Battery (best)
                            - Sizeable battery (4,000mAh)
                            - fast processor (QSD 778)
                            - 120Hz LCD (No burn-in)
                            - 5G radio (long-term support)
                            - Modular components (refurbish and serviceable)
                            - Fingerprint scanner (convenient)
                            - Software Updates 4-Years (great)
                            - Samsung DeX (cool)
                            - USB 3.2 TypeC / TV out (nice)
                            - Good Quality Selfie Camera (nice)

                            - Mid-range Quality Rear Camera (bad)
                            - Samsung Knox (secure but difficult for Devs)
                            - 6GB RAM (usable but +8GB preferred)
                            - 128GB storage (usable but +256GB preferred)
                            - 10mm thickness (about 2mm too thick)
                            - 235 grams (about 50g too heavy)
                            - 15W regular charging (battery healthy)
                            - No Reverse Charging (meh)
                            - No Wireless Charging (bad)

                            ...i dunno looks like a great phone overall, that will easily outlive the likes of other Samsung flagships (S20, S21, S22, S23). Makes sense for a company to buy something like this, and it leads to less eWaste due to its longevity.
