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.
