Ulefone Armor Pad 2 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Ulefone Armor Pad 2 - improvements on all fronts

Mobile electronics, protected from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards, are gaining more and more fans around the world. The turn of increased strength and resistance to the elements has come to tablets. The first similar product from the Chinese company Ulefone can hardly be called successful, but its successor has become literally many times better in each of the parameters.

The appearance of the new product is specific, but still not without attractive features. There is an interesting design of the camera unit and a special additional LED flashlight, and connectors for carabiners, which significantly simplify interaction with the not particularly light and portable gadget. Unfortunately, the ergonomics and design are spoiled by the excessive dimensions and weight of the unit, but there is an explanation for them. In addition to IP68 protection, the device provides autonomy up to 4-5 working days thanks to an 18600 mAh battery with fast charging at 33W. The 11-inch IPS display boasts a resolution of 2000x1200 pixels and a maximum brightness of 600 nits. The only pity is that there is no increased image refresh rate.

Technical characteristics have received a huge increase in productivity. The MediaTek Helio G99 CPU, together with 8GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC2 video adapter, surpasses the 350 thousand AnTuTu benchmark score, so there is no need to worry about the responsiveness of the Android 13 interface. Not the most expensive device has good gaming capabilities. The vast majority of Android games launch without any problems, with a number of exceptions including only resource-intensive projects with advanced graphics like Honkai: Star Rail or Fortnite. They sometimes experience lags with any graphic presets. The size of the permanent memory is not limited to 256GB; it can be expanded with MicroSD cards.

Surprisingly, there are no savings on cameras either. The main 48-megapixel photo module is significantly ahead of the solutions of many opponents. Daytime photographs turn out to be detailed, with correct color reproduction and without an abundance of artifacts. There is even a chance of getting fairly clear, albeit somewhat noise-disturbing frames in the evening. There is also loud stereo sound provided by two large speakers. There is also NFC, but the scenarios for its use involve scanning receipts, verifying people, etc. As a result, the device turned out to be truly relevant and worthy of the audience’s attention.
