  • The Ulefone Power Armor 18T is an Epic phone... I Love everything about it. Well done Ulefone.

    Thank you so much for this video, but I need to ask...what's the quality like when it comes to making and taking phone calls and using video phone calls?
  • Thank you for the review sir. It's very hard determining which phone to get next. I've been Note from the original and still have the 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10 (10 daily driver phone). Actually, I use the 9 in Dex mode hooked up to my tv for everyday use. Anywho, the Armor has the endo and thermal which would be extremely helpful as a wildlife control agent. Alas though, Samsung has it with the stylus which I find very helpful when recording measurements on jobs, making notes, and video/photo editing. And of course the cameras have always been spot on. So much so, I've had people ask to purchase prints of some of the snaps I've taken. Ugh, I need the Ule with a stylus and better camera setup.

    I’ll take one! Do you happen to know which carriers support this phone in the us? I can’t seem to find anything online thanks

    How does the Ulefone 18T compare with the other top rugged phone? I am after a rugged phone, but still undecided for which to go...to date I am leaning towards the Ulefone 18T. I am asking you because your review is the most honest I found on the Ulephone.

    Thank you for doing the first real review of the phone that I could find. I bought the armor 9 on sale a few years ago on a whim. I actually really liked it. The only complaints I had was the ui wasnt the greatest and it was missing a few modern features. I broke the charging board (kinda my fault dropped it while charging and it landed upright in the charging cable). Since I had to wait a month for the board I decided to buy their ultra cheap x11. It's clearly built on a budget but I figured it gives me a way to see if their software improved in these past few years before I buy the 18t. Sadly it's much worse on the x11. Some of it is clearly because of the cheap hardware, but the software they use to optimize performance is buggy as hell. Out of all my apps only two widgets worked with the phone. Also one minor thing that really grinds my gears is I couldn't figure out how to get Spotify controls on the lock screen. I've tried everything I could think of. I hope the 18t is better in that regard because I still haven't found a better competitor yet and will probably still buy it eventually.
  • The best honest review I have seen on this phone. Does it come with a UK plug or do you have to use an adaptor?
  • @user-jv8ji5io9v
    hello! i'm having this phone for a little while... when connected to a pc, is recognized straightforward... however after the first click to enter the folder structure this one result empty; a further oddity the fact that, if USB debug is activated on the phone, it will completely disappear from the PC. Issues related to the phone rather than PC...any hint? the issue may be an added settings that my prevent the opening of the dialog box such as "file transfer", problem are present in both ANDROID12and13 mobileGO, a mobile manager installed in windows, will recognize the device connected, but will show a blank phone my device got flir thermal please review, thanks

    Works for basically everything I need it to do, I work in the hvacr field. However, daytime screen brightness sucksssss..
  • @AlvisMridha44
    I've been having sleepless nights over this phone watching videos of thermal vision really got hyped up. At home been making DIY IR lights & removing IR filter from action camera to see in the dark, powerbank upgrades, etc, still thermal camera is a gamechanger to wildlife capturing. Maybe I'll finally be able to see some foxes that "wou wou" in the forest 🙆🏻
  • I was already excited about this, but I didn't realize it had the endoscope. One less tool to cary.
  • I have a Ulefone Armor 7, had it for 3 years or so. The things that annoy me about it are the quality of mobile calls, the volume of the speaker and the fact it turns on in my pocket at the drop of a hat and then decides to turn itself off as well. I could really do with mobile reviews that tell us how good they are as phones, does the volume go up enough, are the buttons "clicky" enough to not press in your pocket, can it pick up a signal in a poor signal area? You know stuff that a mobile phone is used for.
