Does everything as stated and beautifully
I absolutely love every feature on this phone. There are some I may never use, but the infrared camera is phenomenal. I can basically see everything within sight perfectly in pitch black. I haven’t used the underwater camera yet but the other cameras are also fantastic. Battery life is right around 4-5 days for me and I work 12 hours shifts non stop using this thing. A bit heavy but since switching to it my only issue is a strong enough phone mount to hold it. My truck doesn’t always ride smoothly lol fallen multiple times with no visible damage. Speaker sounds not only super loud but of great quality. I can play games on this for hours and it doesn’t overheat and I still have tons of battery. As long as you don’t wear skinny jeans or pants without pockets this phone should fit in your pocket but if you wear loose pants you may need a belt lol I will definitely be buying the upgraded model with the projector next unless the tank 4comes out by then

Heavy but handy
I have only been using this phone for a week and have found it to be very useful. I don’t have to worry about remaining charge in the battery, after 5 days of use it still has 20% left. Found myself in a dark and unused basement and in need of some photos of a water meter reading. The camping light illuminated the meter and activated the disk’s solar power panel so I could get clear pictures. The range finder function also gave some approximate measurements for material estimates for a job.Everyone who has checked this phone out either thinks it is the handiest tool or the craziest purchase I have made. I think it is the best. It does have some negative points, mostly that it is heavy and larger, but, I believe the positives far outweigh any negatives one might find.I would recommend this phone to any one who is constantly on the go uses their phone in their everyday work life.

Not worth it….
I’ve owned 2 of these in the last year…. And though it looks nice on paper. It doesn’t hold up to real world use.Have dropped it now twice from the car. (Tailgate of my truck) Each time it has disabled the phone beyond reapair and any ability to further use the phone.Nice stats on paper… yes… Strong rugged phone as advertised… Definitely not.

Nice, but a work in progress…
If you ever wanted to carry a brick around in your pocket this is the phone for you! Personally I like the fact that it’s heavy it’s rugged it appears to be built well.A couple of things I did not care for and these might just be related to the phone that I received. Upon initial charge the phone as well as the 120-watt brick got warm/hot enough that I think they’re pushing the limits of this battery charging technology.Still have not been able to register a fingerprint because it always tells me I’ve taken too much time but there’s only so much you can move your thumb around on a little power button.If you’ve never used stock Android it is definitely a learning curve going from other brands (Samsung/OnePlus to name 2) and their OS interface enhancements.Did I mention it’s thick as a brick and weighs about as much?Although it is Android 13 the version has not been updated in some time and the security patches are way out of date (12/2023)…I will end this by saying I’m kind of a weird tech guy so this phone really intrigued me and that’s the reason why I purchased it. I’ll give this a couple weeks before the return window closes to see if this gets updated if not I’ll probably return.

STRAIGHT TALK (AT@T) Work Perfect.
Phone is Good! But I returned becouse I wanna have with cooling and projector,so be attentive when you when you choose a model ,they have 2 kinds-The one with the projector and cooling is more expensive.Fast 120 watt is strongest,very fast,amazing screen and sound.yes,heavy,for talking use wireless earbuds or headphones.

Solid Battery Life, Weighty Build
**July 5th 2024 Update**The Tank is still chugging along nicely. My original comments still stand, with some changes. The battery life is still far better than any phone Ive had before. Being 100% when I leave the house and in the 80% range when I get home after a 12hr shift and using it most of the time is amazing. But, after some testing with a few apps, it seems the phone does not have 23.8kmAh battery, more like 19k or something close to it. I do not know if this is just an error on my end or what but yeah. The charging brick it comes with is prob great but I have not used it after the first few days as the phone gets crazy hot when charging with it, so I just use an old wall plug and its fine. The bluetooth connectivity to my car is sometimes really spotty, no idea why. Normal signal strength leaves a bit to be desired. A Co-Worker has a Z Fold on the same network as I do (T-Mobile) and it seems more often that not he has better signal than I do. Itll say “5G” but I wont be able to open any apps that require a data connection, its quite annoying sometimes. If you can, get a screen protector. I dont know why I expected it to be more scratch resistant than previous phones but it is not. I have only been able to find a single kind of phone cover and it aint great but to be fair, I did not get it to protect the phone, I got it to protect other things *from* my phone.Pros:Impressive battery life that lasts for days.Sturdy build quality, although it’s on the heavier side.Fits in pockets, but snugly.Transitioning from Samsung UI takes time but manageable.Manuals not included but easily found online with a quick search.Cons:Heavy weight may not be suitable for all users.Tight fit in pockets may be inconvenient for some.Learning curve when switching from Samsung UI.Limited app compatibility due to non-major brand status.Overall, the Tank 3 offers solid battery life and durability, but its weight and transition from familiar UI may take some adjustment. Ensure compatibility with essential apps before purchasing.
