UlefonePower Armor 19 Rugged Smartphone, 17GB+256GB, 9600mAh, 108MP Main Camera, Multi-Use Temperature Measurement, MTK Helio G99, 6.58” FHD+, QI 15W Wireless Charging, 66W Fast Charge, GPS

I've never had a better phone until now. It was the perfect phone I've been looking for. Yes i keep getting told it's a bit heavy for when I show it off to friends but it makes up for it in the huge battery life it offers, I don't have to charge for days.Charging it can get warm if you're still actively using it but if you put it down and wait 30min it'll almost be fully charged for another couple days of use. Id expect nothing less when it comes to a 66W charger.The camera does have its ups and downs. It does take great photos in good lighting but if In a dark room with dark color LEDS the camera will have a hard time. The Microscope function however has been really cool and I've never seen it before on another phone especially for how clear it can be. The ring light around the microscope camera helps a lot.I do a lot of gaming on this phone from COD mobile on highest graphics settings to late rounds of BTD5 and it handles it all fantastically.If I seen the specs for this phone and was told to guess how much it was I would've thought at least 1,500 or more but was surprised it didn't even go over 800. I didn't pay much more than 500 when a deal was going on.I really felt I got my money's worth out of this phone and I've seen no signs of slowing down or degradation for almost a year now.It's extremely durable so wouldn't be too worried if a toddler got ahold of it somehow.

The media could not be loaded. I'm a little too rough with my phones so I got this because I know it will hold up and it's waterproof. Even though it doesn't have the thermal camera it has a thermometer that works okay and you save some money. I found it's best to touch it right to the forehead for an accurate reading though. It's really waterproof! I have a video that shows me plunging it into the ocean. Make sure to close all port stoppers though. I was worried about the SIM card slot but it stays dry 👍Just don't use the speakers for a little while to let the water seep back out or else your music will sound crackly and weird and you'll think you broke the speaker. Microscope actually worked better than the actual microscope my dad has. Only drawback is you have to hold the phone still so a stand or holder of some kind will help get clear shots. Photos above are a mystery food found inside a bag of tater tots and a microscope picture of that same mystery food. I think it's a granola bar. Camera has very impressive photos when outside in good lighting. Inside is kind of iffy if you don't use flash. Some other camera apps may help. I haven't tried pro settings because I'm technology handicapped. Storage is amazing. Idk what else to say it's the perfect rugged phone for us cheapskates. I'm not paying $1200 for something just a tiny bit fancier than this- it's already high end. Oh it is very heavy so be ready. No other complaints!!

The phone can be sturdy but also heavy making pants fall and such over time. I dropped it and it landed in water once and was still working although the audio was a bit messed up and for some phone calls, i couldn't hear the person talking at all. After 3 weeks or more the audio ended up being fixed over time.I used it in the rain one day and the screen started pressing buttons on its own. After 4 hours, the screen only shows a black screen.My previous phone from ulefone had GPS issues.Sadly I might just have to get one of the popular phones and put a case on it.

I've owned 3 models of Ulefones over the years, a good number of other brand Android phones, and about 8 iphones. I'm on T-Mobile. I use my phone primarily in the Memphis, TN area, but my wife and I camp a good bit in remote areas.First, my review of the connection. This is comparing the phone to my wife's iPhone 15. I get the same amount of service as hers, always. Once I got a bar better, but only once. We're both on T-Mobile. Her iPhone will send texts faster, and sometimes my Armor 18 will be unable to send a text and offer to allow me to retry. Sometimes I have to restart the phone to send. As far as getting e-mails and calls- never an issue. We can surf the internet at the same speed too, both on wifi or off cell. I've been very happy with it on that front as a couple of the Ulefone models I've had in the past were spotty on signal.Next, the battery- this is a really important feature as I went from an iPhone that would be dead by 2pm even after charging all night. I use my phone for work making calls, getting texts and e-mails, and looking at social media. I have a wireless charger that I place the phone on each night, with the phone turned on. By 6 then next morning it's back to 100%. It's never gotten below 90%. We went on a 3 day camping trip a month ago where we had full cell signal, but it rained all weekend. I was on my phone a lot, and never charged it and by the drive home it was at 7%. I was pretty impressed with that.The screen is fine, I'm no expert on that- but I know it's just as touch-sensitive as any phone and as clear.The camera is a 1/5 stars. It takes great pics, but the flash is sometimes slower than the shutter so you get a dark pic. It doesn't want to scan QR codes no matter how I move the phone. It seems like the camera needs a software update.The phone comes with a minimum number of apps, I like that. I don't use many and liked being able to uninstall the few that were included and replace them with the ones I like.The physical phone is big, and HEAVY. It's a guy phone for sure. I'm not even sure it would fit in standard bluejean back pockets as it's tight in dungarees. Everyone who's seen the phone has asked why I put such a huge case on it and I have to explain that it's no case, but the phone. I carry it everywhere, dirt bike riding too , and it's held up perfectly. It fell off a 6' ladder onto a concrete floor once and I couldn't tell it had fallen. I'd recommend a wireless charger as the data port cover is a bit hard to open.Overall, I've been very happy. I think I paid right at $400 for it since an iphone is $1200 and not rugged at all, I think I got a value.
