Oukitel WP56 Review

Oukitel WP56 Rear cameras

The camera department of the Oukitel WP56 is almost identical to that of the Oukitel WP200 Pro. Both models use a 108 Samsung S5KHM6 ISOCELL sensor for their main cameras. The sensor has a 1/1.67" optical format and a 0.64 μm pixel size. On the WP56, it is paired with an f/1.8 lens with a 79° FoV and outputs 13 MP images by default. This camera can record 4K videos at 30 fps. The second unit is a 2MP GalaxyCore GC02M1 macro camera with an f/2.2 aperture and a 76° FoV. Outkitel does not mention a third lens on the WP56. On the WP200 Pro, this is a 0.3MP depth sensor.

Oukitel WP56 Selfie camera

The front-facing camera of the Oukitel WP56 uses a 32MP Sony IMX616 sensor with a 1/2.74" optical format and a 0.8 μm pixel size. It is paired with an f/2.2 lens and supports up to FHD video recording at 30 fps. Other smartphones and tablets which we have reviewed and use the same sensor for their front cameras include Oukitel WP100 Titan, Unihertz 8849 Tank Pad, Cubot KingKong Power 3, Cubot KingKong Star 2, Cubot Max 5, Cubot KingKong X, Oukitel WP35, Oukitel WP33 Pro, Cubot KingKong AX, Oukitel WP30 Pro, Fossibot F102, Doos S100, Doogee V30, and Samsung Galaxy A52 5G.

Oukitel WP56 Camera App

The Camera app offers a standard layout and is quite easy to use. The bottom of the main screen houses the big round shutter button. The camera switch is to its right and the shortcut to the photos and videos is to its left, with a shortcut to the AI Album in between. The reel with shooting modes appears above them. The default one is called "Picture" and it supports AI scene recognition, HDR, LED flash, and digital zoom. There's also a settings cog icon in the top right corner of the screen. The "Video" shooting mode supports flash options and additional video-related settings accessed via the cog icon. The "Night" mode offers a longer exposure time with the main camera and should be used with a tripod. If you want to shoot in the sensor's original size, you have to tap on the "108" mode. "Beauty" is a shooting mode that allows you to make portraits by adjusting the background blur and adding beautification features. The background blur can also be adjusted in the "Portrait" mode, which can be accessed from the "More" tab. It also includes the "Pro" mode, Gif, Panorama, Mono, Macro, Slow Motion, and QR code. The "Pro" mode enables you to adjust manually the white balance, ISO, exposure, focus metering, and shutter speed. If you tap on "Macro", the device switches to the macro camera. The interface for the front camera is identical and whenever you tap on a mode that's not supported by the front camera, the device switches to the rear main shooter. The camera settings are also the same as the ones for the rear cameras. The More tab contains the Portrait, Mono, and Gif modes. Photo editing is done via the default Photos app, which has Google Lens integrated. From here, you can enhance, warm, or cool an image, adjust its brightness, contrast, white point, highlights, and other properties, crop, add a filter, text, or markup.
