Ulefone Note 20 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Ulefone Note 20 Pro - original or clone?

Sometimes in the lower and middle price segments of the smartphone market you can find literally identical phones from different manufacturers. This is due to the fact that the models are actually created by one OEM manufacturer, to which third-party corporations turned with orders. Thus, the hero of today's review completely duplicates all the parameters of the recently announced phablet from Meizu, right down to the dimensions.

The appearance of the new product is slightly different from that of its twin rival, but it is simply impossible not to see the similarity. A similar body shape and design of the triple camera, the same side fingerprint scanner and the outdated form factor of the 8-megapixel selfie camera testify to this fact. The 6.75-inch IPS panel tries to please the user due to the smoothness of the 90-Hz refresh rate of the picture and natural color rendition. But the low image clarity at a resolution of 1600x720 pixels, a brightness reserve of about 500 nits - these are critical disadvantages that are difficult to ignore.

The technical characteristics are the UNISOC Tiger T606 CPU, 4 GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC1 graphics chip. The CPU-GPU bundle is not bad for the price category, but the allocated amount of RAM is not enough to reveal its full potential. Thus, the number of simultaneously running applications will rarely be more than 5-6, and resource-intensive games like Genshin Impact will lag at minimum graphics settings, and sometimes just suddenly close. The internal storage is 128/256 GB, there is also a slot for MicroSD cards. The battery capacity is increased to 6000 mAh, which eliminates potential problems with autonomy. Fast charging is not forgotten either, although its power is far from record-breaking (18W).

It is unlikely that the buyer will expect outstanding photo capabilities from an inexpensive device. The main 50- and 2-megapixel photo modules are suitable for simple shooting scenarios; you should not hope for detailed photos and video files in mediocre lighting due to the appearance of blurs and noise. There is no stereo sound, one speaker is not very loud, but you will hardly miss a notification. But it will not be easy to understand for what reasons the device is deprived of NFC contactless payments. Thus, we have a device with a number of problems, to which it will not be difficult to find a better alternative.
