Ulefone Note 17 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Ulefone Note 17 Pro is a stylish thing

The thoughtful design of a smartphone is one of the important factors of its success in the market, because it is what every potential buyer first pays attention to. The Chinese company Ulefone is aware of this fact, so it’s easy to fall in love with the hero of today’s review. However, the popular manufacturer has not forgotten about other aspects of the new product.

As mentioned earlier, the exterior of the phone is beautiful. Thanks to the combination of a frameless display extending to the side edges, an under-screen fingerprint scanner, an incredibly beautiful block of photo modules, and bright and memorable colors of the rear panels, the device can be confused with an analogue at double the price. Perhaps the only slightly disappointing thing is the widespread use of polycarbonate instead of metal and tempered glass. The 6.78-inch AMOLED panel reproduces a rich picture with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels, also endowed with increased smoothness at a 120 Hz refresh rate, a maximum brightness of more than 1200 nits, and natural color reproduction. The oleophobic coating is present even on the included protective film.

The technical characteristics of the phablet are the MediaTek Helio G99 processor, 12GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC2 video accelerator. Of course, there will definitely be people who have become tired of this combination. The CPU is indeed not one year old, and its roots come from the G90T model. But the chipset scores a decent 400 thousand points for the value segment in the AnTuTu benchmark, eliminates the Android 13 OS from visible stutters, and will not leave gamers without entertainment. PUBG, World Of Tanks Blitz, Call Of Duty Mobile - in these projects it is not difficult to get a stable framerate with not the most modest graphic settings. Genshin Impact and more resource-intensive games will also launch, but you will have to select minimal graphics presets. 256GB of permanent memory is allocated, there is no slot for MicroSD cards.

The main 108- and 5-megapixel cameras lack optical stabilization, but still cope with a large number of shooting scenarios. The main sensor is of quite high quality even in evening shots, which will not disappoint with detail. True, noise and blur in some photographs will still be noticeable. There is stereo sound, it is quite loud, and you can hear the bass in the compositions. There are also NFC contactless payments, which greatly facilitate the process of paying for goods in supermarkets. A good 32-megapixel selfie camera and an affordable price increase the likelihood of good sales of the gadget.
