Have you ever ever needed your phone to final for days within the wild and light-weight your campfire, too? On the Showstoppers press occasion forward of MWC 2026, I noticed a brand new smartphone from out of doors electronics firm Oukitel that goals to be an all-in-one machine for the rugged digital nomad. 

The Oukitel WP63 telephone is round $500 and checks loads of bins. It is received a 20,000-mAh battery — sure, twenty thousand milliamp hours — with an included USB-C port that may cost your different units. It additionally powers the audio speaker and LED lamp embedded at the back of the telephone, the latter of which may get so vivid {that a} pop-up warns you to not look immediately at it to keep away from eye harm.

The Oukitel WP63’s coolest function is its means to begin a fireplace. You possibly can activate that function with a tab on the high of the telephone that is surprisingly tough to flip out. (That is a pleasant protecting aspect that retains it from by chance popping open in your pocket.) As soon as deployed, an electrical coil, just like an outdated automotive dashboard cigarette lighter, prompts by way of an app. There is a setting to maintain it lit for 4 to 10 minutes, in idea, to heat your environment. 

I need to be sincere that I did not see the telephone gentle something on fireplace — the preproduction unit at Showstoppers received too scorching to show the lighter impact. However I noticed movies of it working earlier within the night time.

And sure, the telephone is an precise smartphone, too. It runs Android 16 out of the field, with three years of promised software program and safety updates. It has a 6.7-inch Full HD (1,604×720-pixel) show, 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage and a 64-megapixel rear digital camera, so it functioned like an everyday smartphone so far as I may inform after I dealt with it. However if you wish to purchase one when it begins occurring sale in April, put together your pockets: the WP63 is an enormous 27mm thick. That is nearly equal to 4 of the brand new Samsung Galaxy S26 phones (7.2mm) stacked on high of one another.
