Ulefone Armor X16 Pro 5G Rugged Smartphone Android 15, 16GB+256GB/2TB 10360mAh 33W 64MP+25MP Night Vision Dimensity 6300 6.56" Tough Smart Phones, Dual SIM Waterproof Mobile Phone NFC, Sand Dune

I got the phone for use in the mountains. The long battery life means I don't have to carry a power bank and fiddle around with charging cables - not always convenient when its snowing. Long battery life means it has big battery pack and phone weighs in at 414g on my kitchen scales. It is replacing a Nokia XR20 245g plus power bank 200g so the Ulefone is 30g lighter overall. Functionality of Android 15 took a bit of working out, some differences to Android 14. Transferring all my apps from the old phone to the new Ulefone was easy. Had a bit of an issue bluetoothing to a Garmin Enduro 3 but have worked it out now. Everything else connects ok. Camera is definitely better than the Nokia XR20. It is a big device, feels chunky in your hand, appears well made and rugged. Great value for money

Wow I love this phone yes it is heavy but I love it very easy to use Having the case with two attachments with it, is great sofar its better than the samsungs I normally buy, battery lasts me for two days which is great as I watch movies on YouTube all day when I am off work Camera is lovely picture I have taken so far are very clear and detail you can see is amazing, The extra case I got with it for when I am out on the motorbike is good can hook it onto my rucksack straps no worries about losing it. The brightness of the phone adjusts to the environment you are in which I like, excellent speed for WiFi a lot faster than my samsung , When first reading other reviews I was a little dubious as I had never heard of Ulefone before, reading all specifications about the phone it had everything I required so I decided to give it a go. Best decision I have ever made, with edit review in a few months once I have used it more. See what the performance is like when travelling around Scotland. At present yes I would recommend this phone price was reasonable, and size it perfect for me, my type of phone.

I bought this phone to use for work as a courier, due to the rugged construction it can take a beating and survive. The battery on this phone is insane, I have it plugged in while travelling 2 hours to get to my first drop, I then unplug the phone with the battery at 100% do my entire route between 4 and 5 hours with the screen on constantly while using GPS, camera for scanning the barcodes and taking photos and literally never turn the screen off during this time. At the end of my route the lowest the battery has ever been is 70%. In comparison, I was using my Samsung galaxy s23 ultra for the same job and the battery would not have lasted the route let alone have the ability to do 2 - 3 routes. I am super impressed with the phone. The other major bonus for this phone in my line of work is the night vision camera, all I can say is WOW! When delivering at night in poorly lit areas, the night vision eliminates the need to use a torch in order to see house numbers and is actually better than using a torch. On the negative side, the software could do with some improvements, specifically the battery optimisation software that prevents apps running in the background. Unfortunately you are not able to disable this feature completely, the only option you have is to individually state which apps to not restrict and this feature still restricts the apps. I have also had it a couple of times where when you plug the phone in to charge, it states that there is an over voltage and this stops the phone from charging, you have to unplug and plug back in, the annoying part about this is it still happens with the official charger and cable that comes with the phone. It does not happen to often but in The month I have had the phone, it has happened 6 or 7 times

I wanted to use this phone for a while before writing a review. So here are my thoughts. I wasn't expecting much for the money. After all, I normally buy flagship phones so how could this possibly compare. Well compare it does and compare very favourably. The Ulefone has far outweighed expectations. It's fair to say, it isn't for everyone. If you're a city dweller who thinks getting out into the country is visiting an out of town shopping centre, it would be wasted on you. I like multi-day hikes and ultra events. This is the perfect companion. The battery life is phenomenal. The GPS is solid and reliable. There are way more functions that I can write about here but they all work flawlessly. Even the camera is great and handles low light better than my Sony Xperia 1 V. I'm blown away by this phone.just don't be expecting something lightweight for your skinny jeans pockets.

Gonna give this a 3 star review just cause I've only just got it. It replaces a ulefone armour 10. And most of why it gets a 3 star is cause I don't know how to work it properly. ( Perhaps an idiot guide or links) For us generation x. Phone is very very robust. Some of the seals are not as they was, I still have to prise the seals open in my 4-5 year old phone ( charginging and the like) but that is progress eh. Only reason for change is my old phone is on a work to rule, turning off and on, having to reset it all the time. It was used daily and alot, I do mean alot. It servered me very well, and I definitely got my moneys worth that's why I got another ulefone. And just by the way of transparency the phone before that was a ulefone. I'm used to work at height, now I don't won't to cry if I drop a £1000. Phone of a desk. Forget contracts buy it as an open phone get a SIM. ( Ur welcome for the info by the way lol). I will if allowed review my 3 stars once I've got my old head around this new mangle fangle technology
