The Oukitel K6000 (i.e., ‘the 6000mAh battery phone’) is on pre-sale now. The pre-sale is an interesting one; pre-sale buyers usually get the product at a discounted price (at least lower than full retail price), which sure is the case here, but there’s more.
The pre-sale is designed in such a way that the sooner you book a phone, the cheaper it turns out for you. For instance, from today till November 1st, the K6000 will be $109.99. From November 2-6, it’ll get a $10 bump in pricing, i.e., be 119.99. This trend ($10 price bump every 5 days) will go on till the phone costs $139.99 after November 11th.
Pretty interesting indeed. Refer to the picture below for reference.
The K6000, besides the aforementioned battery, has a 5.5-inch 1280 x 720p display with 2.5D curved glass on top, a 13 mega-pixel rear camera (interpolated, most likely from an 8 mega-pixel sensor), a 5 mega-pixel front-facing camera, ‘flash charging’ support (a 5 minute charge claimed to give 2 hours talktime) along with support for reverse charging.

they always do it when the phone won’t meet the expectations,so you buy the phone before it gets reviewed.
i don’t know if this is what’s happening with Oukitel, but i usually wait to read Gizchina reviews and their readers feedbacks.
This seems to be an Everbuying rather than general Oukitel promotion. Still a good saving and made it cheaper than K4000 for a few hours at least.
I might buy one as a secondary device after reviews of course. Had bought a Bluboo x550(along side a oukitel u8) used it for less then a week, it fell from me at an average waist height and the Display+glass got totally cracked. Now it rests in peace inside a drawer and I don’t think I will ever repair it cause U know “China”
my phone fell several times and nothing happened until one day it fell from my cargo shorts, so let’s say… 2 feet or even less.
it cracked the tempered glass protector, it cracked my screen and even the capacitative buttons.
so it’s all about how it falls.
i fixed it because the phone wasn’t even a year old and i can still use it later as a backup phone (now i understand the importance of having one).
im seriously considering the new LeTV, for that price … how can you say no?
I always have a backup phone for this reason. Usually it’s also my travel phone.
I bough my wife a doogee DG550 in april which fell several, I mean many many times +15. I took her to fall on itit while she sick to crack the screen and even though it worked for a day or 2 the touch panel died the next day so had the whole thing fixed at around $35 bucks parts+labor, sure we had to wait a good 3 weeks for parts to come from China???
Yes it’s a very attractive device with the right price, will be waiting for reviews
I would be very wary buying a phone like this without reviews. Having said that I might be the Guniea Pig on this one…
I got one at $109, but on slow boat postage to avoid duty. They only have a 150 at each price point, so it’s back up to $139 until Nov 1st.
the image says its FHD (which is 1920×1080) ???
I won’t buy it because it’s the MT6735 chip, the big battery should be the more powerful hardware.
The big battery plus the 6735 means this thing has the potential to go 3 days without a charge. The 6735 was made to be an efficient low power chip.
What you’re saying is undoubtedly true, but i think it wasn’t his point. The fact is that there are plenty of phones with those same specs, but there isn’t one with a beast battery with a powerful soc to match! Many (and by “many” i obviously mean “myself and maybe there is someone else, dunno, don’t care”) would like a battery phone not for the “2-3 charging-free days” thing, but just for going through the day without caring of battery running out of juices… I’m not a mobile gamer, so probably mt6735 would do anyways, but if i was to spend my money, i’d just rather a soc that I’m SURE can handle everything I’d throw at it…
Anyone of the MT6795 phones would be perfect for you then and many of them can easily handle a day to 1.5 days with a single charge if they have at least 3000mAh.
Yeah i think latest socs are more power-efficient, but I’m not a easy client to handle xD
actually my phone provides me 5.5-6 hours of screen time, and some days it’s enough, but other days I’m like “battery is around 25%, better don’t do this (3g browsing/watching videos, taking random pictures, light gaming ecc ecc) because i could run out of battery and i don’t know if I’m going to need it later”… And it’s that kind of worries i would like to avoid with my next phone, although i know I’m just overcomplaining
lol I’m the same way but what has pleased me the most is quick charge. A 10 minute charge gets me an extra 25-30%.
Yeah, i’m sure quick charge would be a bless for me! I could charge almost the entire battery while setting things for my night tea streak, having enough battery to kill time during my sleepless nights… It would be a dream! *.* lol
I charge mine in the morning while having coffee, 40 minutes and it’s 100% and good for the day.
Fix errors in the text. It’s mostly November, not October. 🙂
“For instance, from today till October 1st, the K6000 will be $109.99. From October 2-6, it’ll get a $10 bump in pricing, i.e., be 119.99.”
There was a limited number (600?) of the $109 ones which sold out earlier today. Jumped to $119 already
The cheapest price is not to buy it at all
