Survival smartphone with cigarette lighter

Indecent battery life, a blinding flashlight, and even a fire-starting system. Oukitel's WP63, the perfect survival smartphone?
In these uncertain times, let's admit that the notion of survival does occasionally pique our interest. So when the apocalypse arrives and we don't want to let go of our smartphones, Oukitel will be by our side with the WP63 model, recently unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in early March in Barcelona. A more optimistic scenario: an excursion into the great outdoors requires a more robust smartphone than usual, and luckily, Oukitel specializes in this type of mobile. The new WP63 stands out with a unique feature: a retractable car charger. Yes, the same kind of gadget you used to find in old cars, which in this case lets you light a fire, which can always come in handy in the middle of nowhere. Otherwise, the device has an outrageous 20,000 mAh battery (compared to 4,000 to 5,000 mAh for your iPhone), capable of charging other devices via USB-C. Also worth noting is a flashlight much more powerful than the small LED on a typical smartphone, a loud siren, and a robust casing capable of withstanding a 30-meter drop.
