Ulefone Armor X31 - trying not to make mistakes

The Chinese company Ulefone often experiments to attract an ever-larger audience. But sometimes the manufacturer expands the range of products due to the safest models for its price category. The hero of today's review has become one of them. It is devoid of obvious shortcomings, but at the same time has not received any noticeable competitive advantages. Balanced, but at the same time too boring, does such a device deserve attention?

The appearance of the new product leaves a good impression with the help of an original block of photo modules and an attractive texture of the back panel, made in the form of a spiral. There is also a convenient side fingerprint scanner. But from the front, the unit does not look particularly beautiful. Yes, the eye of the 16-megapixel selfie camera has acquired a modern form factor, but the wide display frames spoil everything. It should also be noted that moisture protection according to IP68 standards has indifferently affected the dimensions of the monoblock. It is not very comfortable to operate it with one hand. The 6.56-inch IPS screen has its pros and cons. It has a relatively good peak brightness of 800 nits for the technology used, an impressive 120 Hz refresh rate. But at the same time, the color rendition is sometimes faded, and the HD+ resolution with the diagonal used does not allow for excellent content clarity.

The technical characteristics are the MediaTek Helio G91 CPU, 6 GB of RAM and the Mali G52MC2 graphics adapter. The drop in performance compared to the Pro version is noticeable. It is visible both in the performance of the Android 14 interface (now there are lags) and in gaming capabilities. You can forget about resource-intensive projects like Genshin Impact, even in less demanding Call Of Duty Mobile and World Of Tanks Blitz it is recommended to significantly reduce the graphics presets. Autonomy has even increased. The 6050mAh battery lasts for more than two days of active use. The 18W charging power is low, you need to spend about three hours at the outlet. The size of the permanent memory has decreased to 128GB, but the MicroSD card slot remains in place.

The photo capabilities of the main 48-megapixel sensor cannot be subjected to an abundance of compliments. Static events during the day are quite detailed, but as soon as dynamics appear in the frame, blurring is almost inevitable. Deterioration of lighting also negatively affects the photo. It is impossible not to notice numerous noises. The auxiliary 2-megapixel portrait module is practically useless, and the 20-megapixel monochrome night vision sensor is not useful to everyone. There is no stereo sound, but there is a connector for wired headsets. Other advantages include contactless NFC payments. Thus, before us is an extremely average example of the value segment. It can't be considered bad, but the gadget has a lot of equally interesting opponents.
