I discovered two of the most absurd Android phones I've seen at CES 2025.

One of the most fascinating aspects of major trade shows like CES is the variety of unusual products that can be discovered. While it's exciting to witness major announcements from well-known brands, sometimes it's even more entertaining to stumble upon completely unexpected items. This is exactly what happened during my visit to Oukitel's booth at CES 2025. Although this 18-year-old company is not well-known in the United States, it has a track record of creating some of the quirkiest smartphones on the market.

At this edition of CES, I was able to see two of their models, both surprisingly extravagant. The first was the Oukitel WP200 Pro, a phone that at first glance seems ordinary, with its 6.7-inch AMOLED display, a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 processor, and a 108 MP main camera. However, the true ingenuity of this device lies in the rear screen, which is not just an additional display but can also be detached to become a smartwatch. By pressing a small button located beneath the rear display, it separates, allowing it to be used independently. The user can wear it on a bracelet as a watch or, if preferred, place it in the ear like a Bluetooth headset. This rear screen has its own interface and software, displaying the time and notifications, including apps, as well as activity and sleep tracking. While it may not be the best smartwatch on the market, its unique functionality and quirky design make it stand out at the fair.

The second model I saw, even more surprising, was the Oukitel WP100 Titan. What truly sets this phone apart is its enormous 33,000mAh battery. To put this into perspective, the recently released OnePlus 13 has a 6,000mAh battery, which is already considered remarkable. With such an extraordinary capacity, Oukitel claims that the WP100 Titan can last up to six months on standby. Due to its large size, the device is heavy, and being aware of this, the company has added a strap on the side of the frame for easier handling.

Additionally, by turning the WP100 Titan, you can find a camping light on the back that offers multiple brightness levels and can send an SOS signal in case of emergencies. This light stands out for reaching up to 1,200 lumens, which is indeed bright—especially if it accidentally activates while looking at it. No less impressive is the integrated projector at the top of the phone, which can project up to 100 lumens with a refresh rate of 120Hz. While it may not be the best projector available, it seems more than adequate for a portable device like this.

It’s true that not everyone needs a phone with a built-in smartwatch, or a battery of that magnitude, let alone a projector. Personally, these are not options I would use on a daily basis. However, I always appreciate how manufacturers like Oukitel seek to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive market. It seems that, for now, the brand will continue to surprise us with its creativity.
