Ulefone Power Armor 13 review

 

Introduction

The Ulefone Power Armor 13 is a brick of a phone, but it's a brick you will gladly put in your cargo pants and carry all day long, or shall we say all week long with that 13,200mAh battery. Indeed, the fortified Power Armor 13 is not for everyone, but it's so versatile that we believe many people will like it for the Swiss knife it is.

Ulefone Power Armor 13 review

Just like previous Armor models, this one focuses on both durability with shockproof and waterproof body, as well as usability with support for endoscope attachment, powerful integrated flashlight, and a laser distance meter.

But it's not just an Armor; it's a Power Armor model, hence the absolutely humongous battery - a 13,200 mAh cell! The phone supports fast 33W wired charging, 15W fast wireless charging, and you bet it can reverse charge, too.

The rest of the specs are nothing spectacular yet intriguing enough to keep the interest alive in this Power Armor 13. There is a 6.81" IPS LCD FHD screen with a small punch-hole. The phone relies on the Helio G95 chipset with 8GB RAM and 256GB expandable storage, which is plenty adequate for this type of device.

There is no thermal camera on the Power Armor 13, but it packs a mid-range quad-camera on the back with a 48MP primary and 8MP ultrawide, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth snappers. There is also a 16MP shooter for selfies at the front.

Finally, the Ulefone Power Armor 13 ships with a ton of goodies, but we guess we'll reveal that in a bit. For now, let's run through its specs.

Ulefone Power Armor 13 specs at a glance:

  • Body: 183.7x85.4x20.8mm, 492g; reinforced metal frame with rubber top and bottom, Thermoplastic polyurethane back with reinforced with aluminum alloy, shock-proof up to 1.2m height, IP69K for dust and pressurized water endurance, MIL-STD-810G compliance. PTT button; IP68 dust/water resistant (up to 1.5m for 30 mins), Drop-to-concrete resistance from up to 1.2 m, MIL-STD-810G compliant.

The Ulefone Power Armor 13 weighs 492 grams and is 2cm thick, which are probably the two possible deal-breakers as it won't fit in every pocket. But it wasn't meant to be a cheap iPhone or Galaxy alternative, it's a work tool and a phone, and as such - it seems like a pretty solid offer. So, let's pop this thing out of its box (and be careful not to drop it on our feet).

Samsung Galaxy S22ultra gets 45W charger

  Samsung will bring back the 45W charging standard to its smartphones, starting with the   Galaxy S22 Ultra,   leakster Roland Quandt reveals. He shared an image of the new PD charger with the model number EP-T4510, which will obviously be sold separately. The travel charger will come with a USB-C to USB-C cable in the retail package, according to the leaked image. If the leakster is correct, this would mean we'll once again see a Galaxy smartphone with 45W charging. The last one was the  Galaxy S20 Ultra , introduced in February 2020. Back then the 45W charger would throttle extremely quickly and barely made any difference in charging speeds compared to the 25W one. The current 45W adapter looks very similar, and also comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable. The main difference on the outside is the smaller size of the upcoming EP-T4510 compared to the current EP-TA845XBNG. The included cable will be 1.8 meters long, which is longer than the current 1-meter cable. The cu...
