We have already covered the first pieces of informationa about the upcoming Oukitel U13 Pro model, but today’s press release is confirming even the full metal body for the phone with similar design and build choices as for example the iPhone 6s.
It’s well documented that the full metal body of a phone can be a big obstacle for the quality of signal reception and that’s why most of the manufacturers are trying to tweak the design with plastic stripes over the antennas or even full plastic sections of the upper or lower back cover. Only handful of manufacturers including the likes of Apple of HTC mastered the full metal build with minimum of plastic parts and Oukitel is trying hard to join such a good company.

How are they trying to achieve that ? Well with nano-injections for the segments B and D on the following picture while keeping the rest of the body made from the aircraft grade aluminum alloy. We shall see if the antennas are going to be properly handled too and the whole quality reception angle valid. Last piece of good news is the fact that even with the full metal body the Oukitel U13 Pro should have only 156,7 grams of weight.
Metal phones feel great, especially holding cold metal early in the morning 🙂
It`s like it`s not a phone, but a sword! 😀
I like metal phones I’m just sick of the same boring colors and the carbon copy HTC design.
Glass panels are really slippery. For me the best is hard plastic for the back and a thick metal frame around it.
Depends on the phone, I had the Gionee S5.5 which was Gorilla Glass front and back and it wasn’t too slippery. In fact my metal MX5 was more slippery. The Gionee also had the best built quality of any phone I ever owned. That thing was a tank.
