For performance, WP12 relies on a 4GB eMMC RAM. WP12 also comes with 32GB internal storage memory but can be expanded to 2568GB using a microSD card for all your files, pictures, and videos.
We can’t talk about a phone without talking about cameras. In the rear, WP12 features a 13MP SONY IMX135 5P camera paired with an auxiliary camera. The front features a 5MP AI selfie camera for great self-portraits. Special modes such as HDR, night modes, beautify modes, bokeh modes enhance your pictures.
DESIGNED FOR CONVENIENCE
WP12, although designed to be tough, also has some level of elegance to it. The front just like ruggedized phones features a display made of corning gorilla glass. The speaker and a front camera can be found on the top bevel.
The edges are a different story, the right side features the volume up and down buttons and the power button. The left side has the custom button which can be customized to do a number of things such as taking pictures underwater. The top carries the 3.5mm headphone jack for your earpiece whereas the bottom houses the USB-C port to charge your device. The edges also have grooves strategically placed to improve grip.
The back designs employ line patterns to achieve a unique look. The textures don’t just serve an aesthetic purpose, they also help with grip to prevent the device from slipping during usage. The letter “NFC” is engraved somewhere in the middle of the back. The bottom side has the “Oukitel” brand name neatly placed.
Another interesting design choice is the robot-inspired camera bump at the back. The rear cameras and the flashlights are arranged to look like the eye and mouth of a robot.
So to sum it up, this device is compact but the cherry on top is its light weightlessness. WP12 weighs only 237g, a property that enhances portability.
