The Oukitel WP300 is turning heads even before its official release, earning a reputation as one of the most extreme smartphones of 2025. Unveiled ahead of its Kickstarter launch later this month, the WP300 combines rugged durability with high-end features — and a few surprises — at a surprisingly low price point.
Massive Battery Meets Multi-Device Utility
At the heart of the WP300 is an enormous 16,000mAh battery, a capacity more commonly reserved for power banks rather than smartphones. This battery supports 45W fast charging and 18W reverse charging, allowing it to power external devices such as portable speakers, mini fans, or even rugged tablets.
Despite this outsized battery, the WP300 is priced aggressively. When it launches on Kickstarter at the end of May 2025, early backers will be able to purchase it for just $399 — a significant discount from its $599 retail price.
Innovative Attachments Transform the Experience
Oukitel is also offering two key modular accessories that expand the WP300’s versatility. The first is a detachable LED camping light, designed for emergencies or outdoor use. The second is a hybrid device that functions as both a wireless earbud and a compact smartwatch. This accessory features a built-in display for notifications and an optical heart rate sensor, enabling it to function independently of the smartphone.
Built Tough for the Harshest Conditions
Engineered for extreme environments, the WP300 complies with IP69, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H certifications, offering resistance to water, dust, drops, and vibrations. The rugged body is fortified with reinforced materials, and the 6.78-inch display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The screen offers a 2460 x 1080 resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 650 nits.
Powerful Internals and Capable Cameras
Under the hood, the WP300 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset with 5G capabilities. It comes with 12GB of RAM, expandable virtually to 36GB, and includes a generous 512GB of internal storage.
Photography is another standout feature. The WP300 boasts a 108MP AI-powered main camera and a 32MP front-facing lens, bringing flagship-level imaging to a phone designed for the outdoors.
A Game-Changer in the Rugged Smartphone Space
With its unique blend of extreme durability, massive battery life, innovative accessories, and competitive pricing, the Oukitel WP300 is poised to shake up the rugged smartphone market. As it heads to Kickstarter, it’s already proving that practicality and performance don’t have to come at the expense of imagination — or affordability.
