I tested the Oukitel's latest rugged phone - I love the price, size, and camera, but one baffling decision means it will struggle with the most demanding apps

While it might be phablet-sized, the WP60 lacks the latest system-on-chip technology needed for the most demanding apps.

Success or failure depends on pricing beyond launch.
