Ulefone Power Armor 16 Pro Rugged Smartphone, 122dB Loudest Speaker, 9600mAh Battery, 5.93″ HD+, Rugged Phone Unlocked, 4GB+64GB, IP68, Waterproof Phone, Drop-Proof, Android 12 Black

a very robust phone with a huge battery and extremely loud speakers
This is the second rugged smartphone I ever use, and I found it very cost-effective though it could’ve packed more features.The Speakers of this Ulefone rugged smartphone are very extremely loud at 122dB, they’re probably the loudest smartphone speakers I have ever used, which is a huge advantage. To be clear though, I didn’t find the bass to be great on those speakers, but the sound is very loud overall.I didn’t like the big top and bottom chin on this device. The other rugged smartphone I have used had an eyedrop front-facing camera and a smaller bottom chin which made it look much more futuristic than this one from Ulefone while maintaining the ruggedness at roughly the same price point. I would say that the overall style and looks of this phone are not great even compared to other rugged phones.I like the back camera design and the speaker’s integration within it, and I also really like the location of the flashlight, and how bright and useful it is. This is definitely smart and practical.The camera quality is nice and the pictures are sharp enough at 16MP, an IR night vision feature would’ve been nice though, and I have seen rugged smartphones integrate this in their camera modules before at comparable price ranges.This phone takes up to 2 sim cards and a memory TF card as well and comes equipped with NFC. I really like the huge 9600mAh battery and I found it to easily last me 2 to 3 days on average use while hiking. The phone is powered with Android 12, which is a great plus for a phone in this price range.Overall, there’s good value in this phone even though it’s not the most feature-packed rugged smartphone in the market, in my opinion, it still makes a good, and practical rugged phone, especially for those with jobs in which they need to keep their phones especially protected, and for those who want a strong robust phone for hiking for example.

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANYTHING IN USA
Loved phone just watch out for networking MAKE SURE of carrier. G2,G3 are being terminated.THEY DON’T WORK IN THE USA

About what you can expect for the price.
Reason for purchase: I needed a phone that I could use to play music, take notes, and communicate with coworkers that wont break on the job. It gets the job done, but only just that. Previously had a Ulefone Armor 15 that worked wonders and I put it through hell more than once, so I thought this device would hold up well.The Pros~ It’s Big~ It’s Durable~ The Flashlight is an actual torch.The Cons~Comes with a lot of random Bloatware.~The battery drains a lot faster than it would leave you to believe.~ the “Octa core processor great for gaming” Is a joke. This thing can take 10 minutes to boot up, and anything beyond basic functionality is slow. Forget switching between apps.~Playback crashes constantly. Whether it’s Spotify, Youtube, Or Audible, expect to have to constantly unlock your device to hit Play again.~ Phone also randomly restarts itself, some days it gets by not doing it, and others its 3-5 times a day. For seemingly no reason. I pull out my phone to use it and it’s either shut itself off or restarted itself.

Bulky but convenient.
Great feel, great camera, great sound. Will not get Android 14 it seems. 3 stars
