Ulefone Armor 27 4G - cheaper and no worse

The Chinese company Ulefone decided to use its commercially successful smartphones to the maximum. Thus, based on one model, it releases several modifications with modified functionality. The hero of today's review is a simplification and, accordingly, a reduction in the cost of the original, but it is simply impossible to call the changes that have occurred critical.

The appearance of the new product is quite standard for a mid-price segment phone protected from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards. The disadvantages in the form of excessive body dimensions and thick display frames are in place, but the designers tried to distract from them with the help of a beautiful triple camera unit, a side fingerprint scanner, a stylized carbon texture of the back panel and a number of pseudo-metallic elements. The 6.78-inch IPS screen deserves praise thanks to its clear (FullHD+ resolution), smooth (120Hz refresh rate) picture. However, the brightness reserve of 600 nits is far from that of AMOLED panels, working with a mobile assistant in direct sunlight is almost impossible. And the color rendition may seem a little faded.

The technical characteristics include the MediaTek Helio G99 processor, 12 GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC2 video adapter, so the performance has remained virtually the same. Only support for 5G networks has disappeared, but it is not so relevant for many countries in Europe and the CIS. More than 350 thousand points in the AnTuTu test give no reason to doubt the responsiveness of the Android 14 interface, but the gaming capabilities of the CPU are limited. Really resource-intensive games will require reducing the graphic presets to the minimum. As for autonomy, a capacious 10600 mAh battery is responsible for it. The number of hours of active screen time often exceeds 15, the user has a choice of wired (33W) and wireless (30W) charging. As for the permanent memory, the built-in 256 GB can always be expanded with MicroSD cards.

The main 50-megapixel large Samsung GN1 sensor, although lacking optical stabilization, copes well even with evening shooting. Small objects retain their detail, there is not as much noise as there could be. The wide-angle 50 MP lens also shows itself well, for lovers of fishing and hunting there is a 64-megapixel monochrome night vision module. There are no stereo speakers, but you are unlikely to miss a notification due to the solid volume. Additional competitive advantages are a separate headphone jack, NFC contactless payments, and control of household appliances via an IR port. Thus, before us is not the most productive, but technologically advanced and autonomous device that can help out in almost any situation.
