Bottom line: Advances in battery technology combined with more efficient hardware and smarter software have allowed smartphones to reach impressive runtime milestones. To borrow a phrase from the automotive world, however, "there's no replacement for displacement" meaning capacity is still king. The problem, of course, is that few want to lug around a handset with a giant battery just to get more uptime between charges or at least, that's what most manufacturers believe. For those who prioritize battery life above all else, there's now an option for your consideration.The Oukitel WP100 Titan is a rugged smartphone with a colossal 33,000 mAh battery that additionally packs a wealth of unusual yet practical features. It starts with a 6.8-inch display (2,460 x 1,080 pixels, 120 Hz refresh rate) driven by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC alongside an Arm Mali-G615 GPU, and mated to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of onboard storage.The main rear camera is a 200-megapixel unit (Samsung S5KHP3 sensor) that's joined by a 20-megapixel night vision camera and a 2-megapixel macro camera; a 32-megapixel forward-facing cam handles selfie duties and video calls.The unit's massive 33,000 mAh battery affords up to 183 hours of talk time, 110 hours of music listening, 42 hours of video-watching, or up to 33 hours of gaming according to the specs on Oukitel's website.Notably, some of the battery life claims listed on the Kickstarter campaign page are more favorable, and we're not sure which are accurate. For example, in standby mode, you can get about five-and-a-half months according to the website but over six months based on the Kickstarter. // Related StoriesThe Titan also supports 66W fast charging and 18W reverse charging, allowing it to double as a portable power bank. Other amenities include a built-in, 100-lumen projector, an integrated 1,200-lumen camping light, IP68 / IP69K ratings, and a one-year warranty. It ships running Android 14 but is upgradeable to Android 15, we're told.The phone measures 178.3 mm x 84.18 mm x 34 mm, or 7.02 in x 3.31 in x 1.33 in, and weighs 873 grams (1.92 pounds).Oukitel has already smashed its initial funding goal thanks to nearly $230,000 in pledges from 364 backers. Interested parties can support the project and get their name on the list for a WP100 Titan for around $600, or roughly the same price as Apple's new iPhone 16e. The first units are expected to ship in April.
