Honor X20 SE

The Honor X20 SE is the latest smartphone from the Chinese tech giant, offering a stylish design with a rounded bumper and triple camera sensors. Priced affordably at 1,799 yuan (6GB+128GB) and 2,099 yuan (8GB+128GB), this device boasts a 6.6-inch Full HD+ display, 64MP triple cameras, and a large 4,000mAh battery. With the power of Mediatek's Dimensity 700 chip, six or eight GB of RAM, and 22.5W fast charging, the Honor X20 SE is poised to deliver a smooth performance without breaking the bank.

Ulefone Armor 27T

The Ulefone Armor 27T Pro is a rugged powerhouse that builds upon its predecessor's design cues from the Doogee V20 Pro. The phone's tank-like build makes it resistant to dust and water, with IP68/IP69K certification and MIL-STD-810G standards ensuring it can withstand rough handling. The 6.78-inch IPS LCD display has a 120Hz refresh rate but lacks AMOLED brightness. While decent for general use, 4K content is downscaled to 1080p. The phone's audio capabilities are limited to a single bottom speaker, which may not be sufficient for media or gaming enthusiasts. The camera setup consists of a 50MP main sensor, 64MP night vision camera, and 32MP front camera. While good for casual shots, low-light performance requires a steady hand. The night vision camera is particularly useful, allowing up to 20 meters visibility in complete darkness with infrared lighting. The thermal imaging feature, which uses a FLIR sensor, operates at a lower 9Hz refresh rate compared to the predecessor's 25Hz. While this results in more accurate temperature readings, it may not provide the smoothest video experience. The phone's battery is large, with a 10,600mAh capacity that can last 4-5 days of heavy use or weeks on light usage. The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip provides decent performance for everyday tasks but feels dated for more demanding activities like gaming. With 12GB RAM and 256GB storage (expandable to 2TB via microSD), the phone's real-world performance is solid, although not ideal for heavy apps or games at max settings. Overall, the Ulefone Armor 27T Pro excels in its thermal imaging accuracy, rugged durability, and long-lasting battery. Its price point of around $300 makes it a great value if you prioritize these features over top-tier gaming performance.
