Ulefone Note 12P Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Ulefone Note 12P - long-lasting mediocrity

Sometimes it becomes even more difficult to understand the range of products offered by Ulefon than in the variety of Xiaomi or Huawei smartphones. The lack of an adequate structure leads to the fact that models with a large number in the name are often worse than their predecessors, and sometimes simply radically differ from them. So, the hero of the review has significantly increased the autonomy against the background of the 11P device, but lost in performance and photographic capabilities.

The appearance of the novelty is not bad for an inexpensive phablet, but outdated things like the "drop" form factor of the 8-megapixel front camera could have been gotten rid of. The bright colors of the plastic cases look catchy and attractive, the side fingerprint sensor is also relevant. Getting to know the display creates controversial emotions. The 6.82-inch IPS-screen is in theory great for surfing the web and watching videos, but the modest resolution of 1460 x 720 pixels makes small fonts hard to read, and in general the picture lacks clarity. The brightness is not enough for the scorching summer sun, but under other lighting conditions the OGS- display shows itself worthily.

The technical characteristics are presented by the Unisoc SC9863A processor, 4GB of RAM and the PowerVR 8322 graphics accelerator. This is an extremely budgetary bundle that does not quite easily cope even with the Android 11 interface. If the buyer wants to try out demanding game projects, but he will be seriously disappointed because of the slideshow even with minimal graphics presets. The size of the internal storage has been brought up to 64GB , there is a separate slot for MicroSD cards, so at least in this aspect there are no problems. As mentioned earlier, the battery has become the strongest point of the unit in question. The 7700mAh battery will only ask for charging once every two to three days of active use of the gadget.

13- and 2-megapixel photo modules do not turn an Android smartphone into a camera phone, but in difficult times they will be useful for capturing documents, texts, static objects. Photo masterpieces from the pictures will not work because of noise, and sometimes blurry, but after editing the photos can be uploaded to social networks. The fairly cheap phone does not have NFC contactless payments or stereo sound, but such shortcomings are the norm for the lower price segment. Thus, the device is well suited for the role of a second mobile assistant for receiving calls, messages and similar processes. As a mainstream Android phone, it's hard to recommend it due to its abundance of shortcomings.
