- Analysis by KJ David
The OUKITEL C12 Pro is practically a re-release of the C12, seeing that it offers almost exactly the same mix of pros and cons, except that it adds 4G-LTE network compatibility, which was all but a standard pro for any smartphone released around the time of this specs-based review, alongside a few tweaks here and there.
Like its mother model, the relatively-heavy (It weighs 182 grams, while the average smartphone weighed only around 160g when it was released) C12 Pro's cons include elementary hardware components, namely, a 1.3GHz-only quad-core MTK6739 processor and a 2GB-only RAM . We also cannot help but wish that it supported more than 64GB of top-up memory , taking into account its unambitious 16GB native storage capacity.
Adding to its disgruntling features is the C12 Pro's 966 x 480 screen resolution , which makes its otherwise expansive 6.18-inch 19:9 screen sound lackluster. By the way, it shares its wide 19:9 aspect ratio with some full-fledged high-end phablets listed here on Phonerated.
As for its pros, this budget-class 6-incher packs a hearty-sounding 3300mAh battery that scores up to 20 hours of talk time and a 300-hour standby time that translates to a little over 12 days. It also combines a circular fingerprint scanner and a Face ID feature for security .

While it is by no means a standout versus most photography-focused smartphones, this OUKITEL model's 8- plus 2-megapixel dual camera winds up as a selling point to us, at least coming from a phone that was priced at 90 dollars as we were writing this. On the contrary, though, its 5-megapixel front cam is nothing to call home about.
With a coating of either Purple, Gold, or Black and the Android 8.1 Oreo OS rounding out its pros and cons, the C12 Pro caters to power-cautious users who are in search of a large-screen budget smartphone.
On-paper Review rating:
We're glad the OUKITEL C12 Pro has a 6.2 (actual diagonal size is 6.18 inches)-inch screen, but 966 x 480 pixels equals to only 174.05 dots per inch (DPI) -- in comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S II's screen boasts 218 dots per inch.
Despite our efforts to find SAR (radiation) information for this phone, we never found it, which is sad. How can we know how much radiation this phone emits?
