Ulefone Power Armor 13 Review - 13200mAh, Endoscope, Laser Range Finder

[@thebtwchannel2919]

Love this phone , y'day I spend 3h playing a game ( online strategy type ) and couldn't get the battery to die .. got from 3 to 2% .. then spend 30 min watching 4k video on full brightness ( no audio) and got it to 1 and gave up . Sometimes battery is crazy good, sometimes die faster but never for less then 3 days heavy use . The camera sux badly and the audio ain't the best, it's heavy but hey you got this phone for the battery didn't you :) nice video saw it before bought mine so thanks for making it

[@tiozorrodelvalle9953]

After a month I can tell you: if you charge the battery to 100%, a few hours later you will find that even without using it, it has dropped to 93 or 92%. Using its items normally, the battery last three days as much. But if you use this phone as if you were a teenager, you'd probably have to keep the charger close every two days. The weight is the least of it. My hands are small but I handle it perfectly and I love having it in my pocket. The red button is continually activated due to accidental pressing, so it's best to disable its one-touch and two-touch functions; I use it to turn on the flashlight with the long touch function. I don't recommend bringing it close to the shower because its speaker is quite sensitive and the drops of water affect the sound terribly until the Ulefone is completely dry. Once he fell from less than a meter high and his rear cameras broke. In any case, its operating system is excellent, very fast and above all beautiful.

[@lonewolf56308]

my ule will still have 92% after 3 days of minimal usage. maybe you still have apps running.

[@SalmanAliYousafzai]

your whole expreience helped me making my choice to spend 300$ Oh god im saved ! i will choose someother rugged device - Thanks

[@ManjuSubin]

@@SalmanAliYousafzai what if it's a fake review from rival companies ?

[@Emphasis213]

I have a armor 9, the buttons are also sensitive. What i did to solve the issue is put tiny foam pads under the metal button to increase resistance. All it takes is to remove the screws and properly position the foam pads under the metal button only, dont place foam pads on the actual button. It works and now it takes a stronger press to activate any if the buttons.

the i phone 12 wont last my 12.5 hr shift and will break in 5 mins i also ride motorbike and travel for hours. rugged phone is made for a man like me

[@ryans1972]

I bought the phone directly from their site to make sure I would have a warranty. Was a little more expensive than ebay, but guarantee that it was somehow not ever used. I love the phone but it does not support charge current monitoring. I find that strange as I have owned 3 other models by Ulefone and those had the feature. It really helps to know how long it will charge or discharge.

[@RedskullPro]

Agreed...it's a bit bizarre it doesn't show

@@james-hall-art Yes Aliexpress and in customs since the 29th also, a pal of mine has worked on occasions in the Langley HWDC where it is currently located and she tells me that they only check a representative sample of parcels passing through there as they don't have the resources to check each item, so it's quite puzzling as to why it would be taking so long as I am sure that they don't have the space to stockpile days worth of incoming mail...

[@BongibrotherTV]

which gorilla glass was used? strength 5 or 6? this is very important for an outdoor cell phone

[@RedskullPro]

Nothing is mentioned anywhere...but the thing is...5 or 6...if you drop it on the screen it will still break

[@dmandman9]

@@RedskullPro Good video. However, I noticed that no Ulefones mention gorilla glass or any type of glass. I suspect if it had gorilla glass, or dragontrail or other trademark glass, they would mention it. So I’m going to assume it’s merely a type of tempered glass. I could be wrong. But Other companies mention the type of glass they use. One other thing that gives me pause with Ulefones is the fact that their drop rating is only 1.2 meters. Nearly all other rugged phones have a drop rating of 1.5 meters or even more. That’s unfortunate because Ulefone’s other specs tend to exceed that of other rugged phones at an equal or better price. Maybe they cut corners on the screen , so they can accomplish this.

Should i buy the Power Armor 13 or the Power Armor 18T??

[@nemesisprime2993]

Please let me ask, does Ulefone send out updates for this phone? Because I have had it for almost 2 years now but I have never seen any Android updates for it, it still has the Android 11 that it comes with, while other phones have already updated to 13 if so it is time for Ulefone to start updating their phones, I like Ulefone phones and the power armor 13 is one of their best and should have been updating to keep security and stopping those annoying ads from popping up unnecessarily.

[@rhettoracle9679]

Monster device with unique features! Cheers

[@DeneF]

I don't understand why nobody gives the quality of the Bluetooth radio connection on phones? When most of our buds are BT, not to mention wrist or chest devices the BT connection quality is imperative. The radio on these rugged phones especially used to be rubbish and ruined my last experience when I bought one but that was about 9 years ago (yes, I was using BT earbuds back then). Come on Mr Skull, buck the bad trend and give this important information going forward please? Great video. Many thanks.

[@Pennlope]

I'm a big fan of wireless FM, I hate needing headphones to listen to the radio, the Pwoer armor 13 doesn't need wired headphones to listen to FM, and the speakers are loud, which is a great feature.

If you insist on connecting to the Verizon network with a self-purchased phone, there are three options: 1. Contact the Verizon staff, and ask the technical customer service person to activate the SIM-ONLY; 2. Purchase one activated Verizon SIM card; 3. Try to find a recognizable mobile phone with IMEI code (for example, your friend’s Verizon Phone), and then use that phone to activate your SIM card (This action just to help you to activate the SIM card, no need to bind that phone to use it all the time ). After activation, put your SIM card back into your phone to use.
