OUKITEL K10000 Hands on and review - WATCH THIS VIDEO

Smartphone owners have battled battery drain with bulky cases and portable USB chargers. But what if your device’s internal battery didn’t need to be juiced up for more than a week?

Oukitel’s upcoming K10000 smartphone has, as its name suggests, a massive 10,000mAh battery that, with “normal” use, could last 10 to 15 days between charges.

The trade-off is that the rest of the phone’s specs aren’t nearly as impressive. The 5.5-inch smartphone sports a 720-by-1,280 HD screen and runs Android 5.1 Lollipop on a quad-core 1GHz MediaTek processor. It also comes with an 8-megapixel rear camera, 2-megapixel front shooter, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, and gesture support. It sports a steel frame and hexa-faceted edges.

The extra power means you can power up a friend’s phone; Oukitel claims it will still have a 10 percent charge after fully refueling three iPhone 6s Plus smartphones.

As Geek.com pointed out, though, this unlocked phone might not be compatable with all U.S. networks. A $240 pre-sale price tag and enormous built-in battery, however, may be enough enticement. The company is taking pre-orders on GearBest, where you have until Jan. 2 to book your new phone.
