Ulefone Armor X8 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Ulefone Armor X8 - budget strength

The Chinese company Ulefon does not forget about the lovers of secure smartphones who are not ready to spend large sums of money on the purchase of mobile assistants. Of course, such devices cannot do without compromises in order to achieve a lower cost price, but every year their functionality and design are significantly improving. So, the hero of today's review, although he did not revolutionize the market, has definitely moved forward in comparison with his predecessors.

The appearance of the novelty is good for an inexpensive phone with protection against dust and moisture according to IP68 standards. The carbon-styled texture of the rear panel is adorned with a triple camera and a fingerprint scanner, and the well-chosen black and orange colors of the cases add additional beauty to the device. The 5.7-inch OGS screen with a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels is not devoid of large bezels, but this fact is forgivable for an IP68 smartphone. Brightness and contrast are not bad for the value category, but in direct sunlight, the visibility of the picture is still noticeably worse.

Specifications are presented by an energy-efficient Mediatek Helio A25 processor , 4GB of RAM and a PowerVR GE8320 graphics adapter. The bundle is designed to ensure smooth operation of the Android Q interface, it is actually not enough for the most demanding games. Such projects will run at the minimum graphics settings, and even then with some jams. But the developer has allocated as much as 64GB of internal storage, not skimping on a microSD card slot .

But the savings were manifested on the cameras. A pair of 2MP secondary sensors are practically useless and don't really help the 13MP main unit. True, the latter copes quite well with daytime shooting, providing natural color rendition of frames and preserving details. With the deterioration of lighting, the results of photo sessions seriously deteriorate. These words apply to the simple 8-megapixel front - facing photo sensor. The battery capacity is 5080mAh . Such an impressive battery will give you up to 10-12 hours of active screen time from a single charge. NFC contactless payments and a democratic price will be other reasons to look at a balanced and durable device without critical flaws.
