The Ulefone Armor 23 Ultra is a smartphone designed for durability and equipped with advanced features. Despite its rugged body, it has a stylish appearance with a cool carbon fiber back. Although it is 12.8mm thick and weighs 332 grams, these attributes contribute to its overall ruggedness and durability.
Ulefone Armor 23 Ultra features a 6.78-inch LCD with a resolution of 1080×2460 pixels that provides immersive visuals. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 chipset and 12GB of RAM, the Armor 23 Ultra ensures smooth performance in everyday use. With 512GB of storage, the phone offers ample storage, that can even expanded via an external SD card.
One of the phone’s standout features is its impressive 64MP camera setup, which surpasses expectations for a rugged device. The 1/1.31″ main sensor is large enough to capture more details in a single shot. The inclusion of a night vision camera adds a unique element to make the phone an appealing choice for night travelers and wildlife photographers.
The phone is equipped with a 5,280mAh battery and supports fast 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. Additionally, it comes with a range of additional features such as an IR Blaster, 5G connectivity, FM Radio, 3.5mm port, Telephoto lens, Gorilla Victus protection, barometer, and tri-color notification light. However, there are concerns about the advertised satellite SOS function.
Overall, the Ulefone Armor 23 Ultra is a feature-packed rugged phone that offers excellent value for its price. Potential buyers should consider the trade-offs, such as its bulky design and the inclusion of an IPS screen instead of an OLED.
