Certainly one of my favourite issues about large commerce reveals like CES is all of the bizarre stuff you’ll be able to come throughout. It’s cool to see large bulletins from well-known manufacturers, nevertheless it’s generally extra enjoyable to search out one thing completely weird that you simply weren’t anticipating. That’s exactly what occurred after I visited Oukitel’s sales space at CES 2025.
Oukitel isn’t a family title within the U.S., although the 18-year-old firm has a historical past of making among the weirdest and wackiest Android telephones in the marketplace. I noticed two of them at this yr’s CES, each of that are hilariously over-the-top.
A smartphone with a built-in smartwatch
The primary Oukitel telephone I noticed was the Oukitel WP200 Professional. The telephone itself is a reasonably customary affair. It has a 6.7-inch AMOLED show, a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset, and a 108MP major digital camera. It’s all great things! Nevertheless, the magic of the WP200 Professional is the display screen on the again. It’s not the primary telephone we’ve seen with a rear show, although it is among the first I’ve seen the place you’ll be able to detach that display screen and use it as a smartwatch.
Press the small button under the rear show, and it pops off for use independently of the telephone. You’ll be able to then pop it right into a band to put on it as a watch or — if that’s not sufficient — put it in your ear and use it as a Bluetooth earpiece.
The rear display screen/smartwatch/earpiece has a completely practical touchscreen with its personal UI and software program. It reveals the time and notifications, has its personal apps, and affords exercise and sleep monitoring. Is it the most effective smartwatch you’ll discover in the marketplace? Seemingly not. However the truth that it may possibly stay on the again of your telephone (and double as an overkill earpiece in order for you) is strictly the sort of bizarre inventiveness I like to see at CES.
The largest battery I’ve ever seen in a telephone
The second — and much more ridiculous — Oukitel telephone I noticed was the Oukitel WP100 Titan. What makes this one stand out? Loads.
For starters, there’s the battery, which has a gargantuan 33,000mAh capability. Sure, you learn that appropriately: a 33,000mAh battery. For context, the brand new OnePlus 13 lately impressed us with its 6,000mAh battery, which is larger than the Galaxy S24 Extremely’s 5,000mAh battery and the Google Pixel 9 Professional’s 4,700mAh battery. With a battery this absurdly large, Oukitel guarantees as much as six months of standby time.
As you’d anticipate for a telephone with a 33,000mAh battery, the Oukitel WP100 Titan is heavy. It appears like an precise brick, and seemingly realizing this, Oukitel added a hand strap on the left body that can assist you maintain onto the telephone.
However that’s not all. Flip the WP100 Titan round, and also you’ll discover a tenting gentle on the again. It has a number of brightness ranges and might flash an SOS sign for those who’re out within the wilderness and need assistance. The sunshine reaches as much as 1,200 lumens, and I can verify that it’s extremely brilliant — particularly whenever you unintentionally press the button to show the sunshine on whereas wanting straight at it.
Final however actually not least, there’s maybe the craziest a part of the WP100 Titan: a built-in projector. It’s on the highest of the telephone (the small black sq. you’ll be able to see within the picture above) and tasks as much as 100 lumens with a 120Hz refresh fee. Oukitel was demoing it at its CES sales space, and whereas it’s actually not the most effective projector I’ve ever seen, it regarded greater than ok for one you’ll be able to take with you wherever you carry your telephone.
Do you want a telephone with a built-in smartwatch? What about one with a 33,000mAh battery and a projector? Virtually actually not; I do know these aren’t telephones I’d use as my each day driver. Nonetheless, I at all times love seeing how producers like Oukitel attempt to stand out. It’s turning into more and more tough to take action in 2025, nevertheless it seems like Oukitel received’t have any hassle with that for some time to return.
