Very soon, phones with Bezel-less display will no longer be exclusively for the elites, big boys and slay queens because some phone makers are now diving into making a cheaper versions of such phones. Just few days ago, the cheapest 18:9 Bezelless phone called Homtom S16 was launched and now we have a revival coming as Oukitel C8.
Oukitel C8 is one of the cheapest 18:9 Bezel-less Android phones at the cost of just N34,000. In fact, before the Homtom S16 was released, Oukitel C8 was reigning as the cheapest Bezel-less phone. Maybe, as time goes on, another phone with even cheaper price tag will be launched but before then, let's take a closer look at the specifications and features of this device.
But Oukitel says bezel-less design does not have to come expensive. So they made the Oukitel C8, a bezel-less Android 7 smartphone with an 18:9 ratio Infinity display. And it costs less than a hundred dollars.

ReplyDeleteOur ardent readers and followers of this great site would agree with me that Battery capacity is arguably one of the outstanding features a geek look out for when purchasing a new smartphone because without the battery, everything on the phone is useless; in fact, it is as useless as a brick in your hands and smartphone manufacturers has noticed this.
ReplyDeleteThe specs and price are very good
ReplyDeleteThanks for the informative
ReplyDeleteWe all know that 18:9 Bezelless Display is one of the trending features in smartphones at the moment but almost all the phones with this type of display are pricey but this particular phone under review is very cheap and affordable.
