Ulefone Armor 24 Rugged Phone, 6.78" 2.4K FHD+ Screen, 64MP Camera + 64MP Night Vision, 22000mAh Battery, 66W Fast Charging, 24GB+ 256GB, Android 14, IP68/IP69K, 1000LM Camping Light, Unlocked

First things first, I put software on this phone for a person with disabilities, the accessibility software allows the phone to constantly speak to you and listens for you to speak and it eats through the battery like candy, a Samsung would be drained by the end of the day. We'd get a couple days from the Power Armor 13 before it needs charging. We get about 3 days in this phone I'll put in a couple tips after the review. The good: Screen is bright, no lag with videos or basic games, the speaker is loud, the speaker is on the base of the phone and not behind it (unlike the 13). Auto detected the SIM card and loaded T-Mobile LTE settings, no issues with a 256 GB micro SD.. Here's a biggie that I like, NO BLOAT ADDED !!! It has just the Ulefone apps and just the basic Google apps only, headphone jack is on top of the phone and not the bottom. No forced Google "At A Glance" widget that could not be removed from the desktop. Can rename apps and change app icons, we use that to change the name of our bank app and icon so it appears as any other solitaire game. The bad: The photo camera light is weak compared to the multi lights of the Power Armor 13, could use a small row of LEDs for photos and video without having to turn on the camping light and blinding everyone taking a photo in low lighting conditions. The connector port needs a gasket cover, pins can get corrosion (Armor 13 started getting corrosion after a year). The launcher is too basic, needs the features of Nova to hide apps, cannot change the home screen, home is always the first left screen. scalable icons would be nice. The font has issues, too big font and the app names will get cut off and crunched together. Lack of updates, after having the Powe Armor a few months it updated from Android 10 to Android 11, with either version of Android, the device never got any security updates. Unknown variables: Power Armor 13 had issues with some of Google's native accessibility software and crashed the fingerprint reader, phone would start saying "fingerprint reader not installed" and had to do a factory reset. Hopefully Ulefone and Google fixed that with Android 13. Power Armor 13 after time, the home screen would randomly jump to another screen and there was no way to manually set it back. Will update review if this becomes an issue. A nitpick: Live wallpapers do not work with the lock screen, when using a live wallpaper even if you change the static lock screen wallpaper it will revert back to the default wallpaper for the lock screen. Camera punch hole is big, not as bad as the 13. Camera could have been placed up in the bezel area and that would have given an unobstructed "Infinity screen" like Xiaomi had for the Mix series. Tips: Amazon doesn't sell OEM chargers or OEM cables for this phone however there is a workaround and Amazon does sell some. To get "super fast charging" you need a 6 amp 11 volt 66 watt PD charger and cable. I searched "6a 66w PD charger" and got ones that use USB A ports and ones USB C ports. They do have one for Australia and the EU for overseas travel. I also earched "6a 66w PD cable" and the USB A to USB C cables are up to 10 feet, other sites even longer and 6.6 foot USB C to USB C cables that supports reverse charging. Anything under 6 amp, the phone will charge at regular speed and will take a couple of days to charge so it MUST use a 6 amp 66 watt PD charger AND 6 amp 66 watt PD cable to get "flash charging". OEM chargers and OEM cables are available from other websites but take time to arrive. If you drop things a lot, I would recommend putting the phone inside a TPU gel case, there are a couple of weak areas, we had a Blackview drop on the corner on linoleum and it damaged the digitizer. If you're not a fan of the launcher, try Nova or Microsoft Launcher, both play nice with this phone. Will update review if any bugs in the future.

I use this phone to Doordash, and I can make deliveries with the screen on for 8 hours straight and I still have 60% battery power left when I get home. The phone has a lot of RAM and you can dedicate ROM to RAM to increase effective RAM to 24GB from 12GB. The processor is fast and can handle multiple tasks. It's very durable and it's great that it ships with a tempered glass screen protector. The screen is large and high res. Waterproofing is great. It's heavy and large like a brick, people often ask what type of case I have, then I show them that it's the phone itself. The camping light is great for power outages, and can light up an entire room. I don't think I'll ever buy a different phone brand now. I stan Ulefone.

Okay. We have a solid phone here especially for the purpose functionality and the price. Disclaimer/Elephant in the room- If you search for a 22000mah battery in a phone and you think it's light... IT'S NOT. This phone will be heavy and harder to use with one hand. Quite possible but harder. But it's got JUICE. Pros: - exceptional battery life - they didn't lie about the 1000 lumens flash light as it is MUCH brighter than your regular phone's light - separate button for flashlight for easy access - decent fingerprint sensor with good coverage for each finger - seals for the USB C charging port and headphone jack - did I mention headphone jack? - separate action button aside from the separate flashlight button - decent speaker (only one speaker to my knowledge) - Solid plastic and metal coverings to the phone. - ip68 and ip69x water resistant (I will continue to put it in a waterproof case just to be safe) - good display! decent colors but you will get better with Samsung. Still surprised at how good the colors were. - 2 sim slots and micro SD storage up to 2? (I think?) terabytes. - decent bluetooth capability - decent processor with decent performance. Good for a phone this price for sure. (2.05 ghz by heliotech I believe) - overkill ram that you will never need 12gb - overkill VRAM that will be hard to even utilize most of it unless you play something like fortnite or some solid mobile game graphics wise. also 12 gb - night vision with some good sensors! - android 14! Cons: - Charging takes a long time (big battery makes sense) - Power button can feel a bit flimsy at times but works alright. - Thick boy. Heavier but that's obvious. - The charging seals require some decent and not super short nails to unlock (I would never have short nails what?) - Thick bezels! Lots of screen but anyone who doesn't like thick bezels might not be too happy. - Camera quality. Between decent and mediocre. The cameras are quite grainy unless you have some good lighting. And the resolution and quality fell a little below expectations. Still an okay camera though! - Mono speaker - HAPTICS/VIBRATION! THEY SUCK! Think of the vibration motor of a cheap and bleh phone. Same haptics for this one unfortunately. Want some good and satisfying vibrations? Poco X3 nfc, and Poco X6 Pro 5g have really solid ones. Not to mention they are some really good value phones. - Want a case for this phone? You can try..... I wish you good luck haha - No software equalizer (for audio people) 3rd party equalizers work though! - Meh launcher (not much bloatware though!) - Limited on features for the settings (decent customizability as any other android) - I WANT AN INVISIBLE BOTTOM BAR FOR MY GESTURES!!! (I think I am only one who cares about this.) - No default gallery application (get google gallery. Best bet for this phone.) - Personal issue with getting notifications - Interesting phone shape..... Overall: Solid phone choice! For those who want some specific things out of a specific phone! Good phone but definitely room for improvement.

When it was running on Android 14 I LOVED this phone. Everything worked flawlessly, great display resolution, excellent camera options, nice and speedy, lots of disk space, and I could go as long as ten days between charges. Then things went wrong: The update to Android 15 (From Ulefone) popped up, and I let it upgrade. Ever since then, the battery only lasts about two days, and the phone gets progressively slower and slower as the day goes on. I have to restart it twice a day because it gets so slow that it is completely unusable. I've done a factory reset, and the problem has not gone away. I'm very disappointed. This was a great phone, now it's garbage.

The absolute best phone ever. I get question about it often and I get to brag about all the cool features it has and for 1/10 the price of a modern iPhone. I can't choose which is my favorite feature the really bright light or the really cool night vision camera. I'll share a few pictures I took with the camera. The one of the truck is from roughly 300 feet away....(Probably more). And the blackNwhite one is from the night vision camera.

This has the NFC which I need for my continuous glucose monitor and I've used this phone heavily for 3 days and it never got below 50%. It is a bit heavy but that doesn't outweigh its usefulness and the infrared night vision is an extra bonus and the camera takes stellar pictures

Perfect phone for me. Battery lasts a week. Love the camping light and also I can get great accessories for it.

I use my phone all day, every day. I listen to audio books while I work the boring parts of my job, or do repetitive chores, while simultaneously using other apps. So far, this means the Ulefone 24 battery lasts me 3 days before I need to charge it. The RAM has been enough--there has been no lag, in either the audio reader, the seller apps (eBay, FB, Craigslist, etc), or the camera, as I'v3 used them all at the same time. That's....pretty awesome. I often dig around dark, dirty, enclosed spaces for my work, like barns, basements, & warehouses. The camping light has come in handy a LOT more often than I thought it would. I was used to the paltry flashlight option, & never thought something like this would be available. The phone would be perfect for me if it had both a macro lens setting on the camera (since I'm an online seller, & often need it), and a wireless charging option (since the charging port is the first thing to fail on every phone I've owned). I'd literally never need another phone if it had those things, & I'd just re-buy this forever if it did. Note: I'm already a regular user of rugged phones, so the size & weight didn't bother me. It IS the largest phone I've ever used, & the largest phone that anyone I know has ever seen. I don't care, because I need this level of durability, longevity, & processing speed. I'm 5'5", so it definitely doesn't fit my hands, my pockets, or any average purse. It DOES fit my lifestyle & my work. I've dropped it in water, in cat vomit, in saw dust, on concrete, on hardwood, & on disgusting dirt floors. It was fine. I even had to reach for it while I was in the shower, once, because I became dizzy, & though I'd need to call for help. If it holds up for a year? I'll bump it up to 5 stars. If Ulefone adds a macro lens option? I'll bump it up to 5 stars. If Ulefone adds a macro lens option & let's me trade it up for one that has all of these features AND wireless charging? I'll promote an affiliate link on my Twitter, & in all of my eBay selling groups, telling them to get this phone. 🖖

tres bon appareil mais un peux lourd au quotidien ne me convient pas trop donc j ais repris mon ancien

Best phone I've ever owned, great battery life, very rugged and strong.

Excellent quality rugged phone with large battery. Useful connections and strong additional case. Yes it's heavy and if you haven't experienced a rugged heavy smartphone before it may be too heavy for you. I have had several heavy smartphones and this one is a brick but does everything I want it too with easy. Battery life is really great and with 2 tb expansion it now doubles as a test meter and pc. The work light is excellent and so is the night campers. I can't fault it. Recommended

Es un equipo excelente, es pesado, pero nos encanta los mejores equipos rudos, excelente tecnología, funciona al 200%

Weltklasse aus China. Weniger als 22.000mah kaufe ich nicht mehr. 30.000+ muss das nächste Ziel sein.
