Ulefone Armor 15

The Ulefone Armor 15 is a rugged smartphone that boasts impressive features at an affordable price. The device's design is unique, with two rubber flaps on top that conceal built-in wireless earbuds. These earbuds connect to the phone and can be used for hands-free calls, music streaming, and more. They are always charged and stored within the phone, eliminating the need for a separate charging case. The Armor 15 has a 5.45-inch IPS screen with a 720p resolution, which is decent but not exceptional. The device's performance is powered by the Mediatek G35 CPU, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. While it's capable of running most applications, it's not the fastest phone on the market, with an Antutu score of around 130,000. The camera setup includes a main camera, ultra-wide camera, and selfie camera, but don't expect high-quality images from these cameras. The phone also features an NFC chip for contactless payments and a GPS unit that takes a few seconds to find your location. While the Armor 15 has some impressive features, such as its wireless earbuds and speakers, it's not the fastest or most powerful smartphone out there. However, considering its affordable price, it's hard to criticize it too harshly. Overall, the Ulefone Armor 15 is a solid choice for those looking for a rugged phone with unique features at an budget-friendly price.

Ulefone Power Armor 16S

The Ulefone Power Armor 16S is a rugged smartphone that delivers impressive performance without sacrificing its durability. Its 5.93-inch HD Plus display may not be the sharpest on the market, but it's more than sufficient for everyday use and can even handle outdoor activities under direct sunlight. Built to withstand harsh environments, the phone meets IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H standards, making it dustproof, waterproof up to 1.5M for 30 minutes, and shockproof. However, this rugged protection comes at a cost - the device is bulky (18.3mm thick) and weighs 405g. Under the hood, the Power Armor 16S packs an Unisoc T616 processor clocking at 2GHz, paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. While this setup handles day-to-day tasks smoothly, gaming performance is decent but not exceptional, and photography capabilities are limited due to the mediocre camera performance. One standout feature is the massive 9600mAh battery, which offers up to several days of use on a single charge. The phone also supports 18W fast charging. Additionally, it features a super loud 122dB speaker that's perfect for calls or media playback in noisy environments. The Power Armor 16S runs on Android 13 and offers a clean and smooth user experience. While it may not be the most powerful device on the market, its rugged build, decent performance, and massive battery make it an excellent option for those who need a tough and reliable phone that can handle the elements.
