Oukitel is well-known for building rugged and wide-range devices. It recently added a tablet to its catalogue, which to no one's surprise is also rugged. Let's look at the Oukitel RT3 Pro tablet in further detail, including its expected price in Nepal.

Oukitel RT3 Pro Overview

Design and Display

Staying in line with the company's reputation, the Oukitel RT3 Pro has a proper rugged look. The toughness is not limited only to aesthetics though! This thing has its accolades to back it up. It is IP68 as well as IP69K certified, able to withstand submersion up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes and take high-pressure, high-temperature water jets right to its face. Additionally, it complies with MIL-STD-810H standards and can shrug off being dropped from 1.5 metres with no major damage. The tablet is available in Orange, Black, and Green colour choices, however, it stays mostly black anyway. On the front, it has an 8-inch IPS LCD panel with 188 PPI pixel density. It offers HD resolution, a standard 60Hz refresh rate, and an okay-ish 600 nits typical brightness. Other than that, the screen either has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 or BOE Glass layering. Oukitel itself has conflicting information in the official RT3 Pro listing on its website. Regardless of which one it is, the screen does wear a hardened glass for additional endurance.

Performance

This tablet might be rough and tough on the outside, but it is kind of mushy on the inside. It has the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset on its driving seat. Though the processor is one of the go-to choices in its range, it is one of the weakest offerings at the foundry's disposal. Nanoreview currently ranks it at 134 out of 180 entries, literally outdone by one of its peers — Helio P90, a six-year older chip than the G81. While that may be true, the silicone will serve well enough for casual users. The Oukitel RT3 Pro ships in a single configuration with 4GB RAM and 128GB ROM. It does offer upgradability to make up for the limited internals. You can virtually expand the memory by a whopping 12 gigs! Doing this obviously eats on the device's storage, which is once again pretty tight. This is where the support for a microSD card of up to 1TB comes in handy. Software-wise, the tablet boots on the recent Android 14 OS.

Camera and the rest

There are a total of three cameras on this tablet, including two on the back, and one on the front. The primary shooter on the Oukitel RT3 Pro is a 16MP unit with a “Sony” OV16880 sensor. I put the Sony in apostrophes because OmniVision is the one that denotes its sensors with “OV” at the beginning. In other words, the company has wrongly listed the details of its camera. Anyhoo, it is coupled with a measly 0.3MP depth camera at the back. Meanwhile, the selfie shooter is an 8MP piece, this time with an actual Sony sensor — that being IMX219. In the tank, the Oukitel RT3 Pro packs a decent 5,150 mAh battery that lasts up to 900 hours on standby. There is no fast charging support on this tablet, capping out at just 10W speed. However, it does offer a reverse charging feature, so, you can use this tablet as a power bank too! Apart from that, it has a quad-speaker setup and NFC and four-way navigation support. It also has a suite of tools that would come in handy when you are out in the wilderness, such as a compass, sound meter, a gradienter, magnifier, alarm bell, and so on.
