Oukitel WP8 Pro - $119.99 at AliExpress
(£96.91/AU$172.65)
This rugged smartphone from Oukitel delivers exceptional value for money, available at 40% off until September 29. Grab it while you can!View Deal

The Oukitel WP8 Pro doesn’t necessarily have any unique selling points that really wowed us, but that doesn't mean it's not a solid device - plus, it's available at 40% off.

A balanced specification sheet, coupled with a great price means it's an attractive proposition for anyone looking for a rugged smartphone that can double as an outdoor, waterproof tablet.

Its main selling point is a big 6.49-inch HD+ display, which is just slightly smaller than the 6.88-inch display on the BlackView BV6100.

Add in 4GB of RAM, 64GB onboard storage, Android 10, a massive 5Ah battery, NFC and IP68/69K/MIL-STD-810G and suddenly you have a rather enticing rugged smartphone indeed.

Granted, the entry level Mediatek Octacore CPU and 16-megapixel triple camera sensor might raise a few eyebrows, but these are acceptable compromises given the price.

We’ve been following Oukitel for quite some time now and it has surprised us with a few of its models - especially the WP6, which sports a massive 10Ah battery.

We are still yet to see a 5G rugged smartphone, nearly two years after the technology first hit the scene, although Oukitel rivals Blackview and Ulefone have both promised to launch 5G models later this year.

Bear in mind

  • If this product ships from mainland China, it will take a month to arrive in the US or UK (and potentially more). You may also be levied an additional tax, either directly or through the courier.
  • If you've managed to get hold of a cheaper product with equivalent specifications, in stock and brand new, let us know and we'll tip our hat to you.

Oppo has today announced that another pair of smartphones in its Reno range are coming to Australia – the Reno 4 and Reno 4 Z, both of which are 5G equipped and fall well under the AU$1,000 price point.

The series promises to bring “innovative camera modes, fast charge, and high-end displays at mid-range price points”, continuing Oppo’s pursuit of making premium features more affordable.

The Reno 4 5G (available in either Galactic Blue or Space Black) will set you back AU$799, while the Oppo Reno 4 Z 5G costs just AU$599 and is on offer in Dew White or Ink Black.

Both handsets are available to order from today and come with gift if you sign up for pre-order from either JB Hi-Fi, Bing Lee, Woolworths, or MobileCiti. The gift with the Reno 4 is a pair of Enco W31 true wireless earbuds, while the Reno 4 Z will come with the Enco W11 buds – both of which were recently launched by Oppo in Australia.

The Reno 4 comes packing Ultra Night Video mode, a 48MP triple camera array on its rear, Oppo’s own 65W SuperVOOOC 2.0 fast charging, and a 6.4-inch AMOLED display (1080 x 2400).

Under the hood is a Qualcomm 765G chipset, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. While the more affordable Reno Z shares the memory specs, it’s instead powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 800 chipset.

The display also differs between the two, with the more affordable Reno 4 Z having a 6.5-inch LCD display rather than AMOLED, although it does have a boosted 120Hz refresh rate compared with the Reno 4’s 60Hz.

Both handsets are available to pre-order now and will be landing October 12.
