OUKITEL C21 Pro SIM-Free & Unlocked Mobile Phones, 6.39 Inch Mobile Phones Sim Free Unlocked 21MP Rear Camera, 4GB+64GB(SD 256GB) 4000mAh Battery Full Glass Design 4G Dual SIM Smartphone

I had a Cubot X19 phone purchased in spring 2020, an OK phone, but after about 10 months of use the microphone started, by degrees, to malfunction. It got increasingly worse to the point that it was unusable. So I looked for a new phone in the 100-150 price range. I shortlisted a few, but after reading reviews and watching video reviews I bought the Oukitel C21. It's a very good phone for the money. It is notably faster than my old phone, with a newer CPU and GPU. The charger is OK and mine came with a black rubber "rugged" case rather than the clear silicone gel case. I actually prefer it.The screen is much more vibrant, the microphone is very good, the mono speaker is better than most (all?) phones in this range. The touch control on the screen is way faster, smoother and more sensitive than my old phone. It just seems everything is better. Wifi calling switches dynamically between wifi and cellular much faster than my old phone. The camera is better by a degree. It has less artifacts and speckling than the previous phone. It is a bit fiddly to get the Quad camera focus right. The depth of field looks strange. I'm not used to it yet though. I feel that Oukitel source their components better than some in this price range.Negatives:Only 4GB of RAM. Standard on phones in this range, but it could do with 6GB because you want to use so many apps due to the excellent performance of the phone.No 3.5mm headphone socket. I have bluetooth earphones and a wireless stereo bluetooth speaker box, but the speakers also have a 3.5 to 3.5 socket so that you do not have to use wireless. I know you can get USB-C to 3.5mm speaker/headphone adaptors, but I am not sure of the compatibility with the C21.No notification LED, not even to show a need to charge with a red light and green for fully charged, let alone notification flashing.Minor, but I don't like the punch hole camera. It is a bit out of place and intrusive.Overall: Go for this phone if you are going for a phone in this price range. It is one of the best, if not the best for the money. It feels in many ways closer to a £300 phone due to the performance, smooth control, screen quality etc.

Excellent value for money, appears to be a great phone thus far and superb battery life. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that initially after setup some technical issues arose causing a glitch where the phone was spontaneously pushing back with no human interaction causing me great stress and frustration! However a factory reset and downloading the apps from scratch appears to have fixed this issue.

The look is good, the phone is amazing

I have been meaning to purchase a new mobile for some weeks but put it off until my rather expensive top brand one failed after just eighteen months use.Determined that I was not going pay the earth again I looked at a lesser known brand. That was when I spotted the Oukitel C21, I'm so glad I did.After just a few days ownership it has exceeded all expectations and ticked all my boxes. The screen is so bright and clear and the sound could not be better. Why pay more?If you are looking for a new phone, give the C21 a try. I'm sure you will be amazed at this value for money.

Had this phone for less than 90 days and it simply died. Let out a loud high pitched noise had data come across the black screen (think the matrix) then died…weirdest thing ever. This literally can’t be returned as no one in Ireland will ship a defective phone back to Uk as it’s considered dangerous goods due to the battery.I’ve tried CS and keep getting told to go to carriers that have already refused this. Most frustrating situation ever. Don’t buy this as third party seller so you’ll literally never get your money back

So far, I have not seen what I dislike about this phone. Screen quality and functions and functionality are way beyond the price. Good value for money and amazingly, it has face recognition for unlocking your screen. The screen is wide enjoy for me to play my games conveniently without using my glasses and the colour quality is very good. A very good phone overall.

Unlike Samsung older Galaxy Pro models, this Oukitel model has no security on the hotspot. Outkitel should provide this by allowing the user to add the Mac addresses that can access the hotspot this is a security flaw and even though it has been a few years since purchase, the phone was sold to me without any hotspot security which should be inbuilt into all phone, I have a Samsung Galaxy Pro that is older that this phone and you can allow access to only specific MAC addresses.

Have had this phone for a while now so could write an honest review. The phone is great, really quick and functions like a top brand phone. The only downfall is that O wish the battery life would last longer, but other than that it's an ace phone.
