Oukitel has been releasing quite a lot of handsets recently and the latest one among them is the Oukitel U7 Plus. With comparisons to the iPhone 6S Plus in terms of its looks, the U7 Plus comes with a lot of nifty features that sets it apart from other budget smartphones. From a company that was found back in 2007, Oukitel U7 Plus is not a mere iPhone look-alike.

The tagline of the Oukitel U7 Plus is ‘Magic in Fingertip’. This directly points to the fingerprint scanner found on the device. The interesting thing to note here is that the fingerprint scanner can be used for a lot of other useful functions.

Taking photos were never so simple. There are 5 possible ways in which you can take a photo. This includes pressing down the shutter button, voice capture, volume down key, gesture capture (‘V’) and tapping on the fingerprint sensor. Yes, that is right, the fingerprint scanner can be tapped on.

Other features of the fingerprint scanner include the ability to answer phone calls, pause and play music and videos and browse through the photos you’ve taken previously. These little features are really helpful and it definitely makes a difference.

Made out of a polycarbonate body that resembles the iPhone’s metal finish, the Oukitel U7 Plus comes in three colors, Space Grey, Rose Gold and Champagne Gold. Ring any bells? The MT6737 quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM should be adequate for day-to-day activities. Don’t expect to play 4K videos and HD games on this phone.

Internal storage is a bit on the lower side at 16GB. The 5.5-inch display has a modest resolution of 1280×720 pixels and the camera duo is the standard combination of a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. At just $90, the Oukitel U7 Plus is the ultimate value for money smartphone. With some great features, decent performance and build quality, it appears to be a great buy for the price which it comes for. The phone is available to buy from authorized stores if you are interested in picking one up.
