The Ulefone Power Armor 18T is an Epic phone... I Love everything about it. Well done Ulefone.
Always wanted a Ulefone.
Looks amazing. Thank you for the review! :)
Thank you so much for this video, but I need to ask...what's the quality like when it comes to making and taking phone calls and using video phone calls?
My dream phone thank you so much for this amazing review!
Thank you for the review sir. It's very hard determining which phone to get next. I've been Note from the original and still have the 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10 (10 daily driver phone). Actually, I use the 9 in Dex mode hooked up to my tv for everyday use. Anywho, the Armor has the endo and thermal which would be extremely helpful as a wildlife control agent. Alas though, Samsung has it with the stylus which I find very helpful when recording measurements on jobs, making notes, and video/photo editing. And of course the cameras have always been spot on. So much so, I've had people ask to purchase prints of some of the snaps I've taken. Ugh, I need the Ule with a stylus and better camera setup.
I’ll take one! Do you happen to know which carriers support this phone in the us? I can’t seem to find anything online thanks
How does the Ulefone 18T compare with the other top rugged phone? I am after a rugged phone, but still undecided for which to go...to date I am leaning towards the Ulefone 18T.
I am asking you because your review is the most honest I found on the Ulephone.
hello, what is the distance that the thermal camera can deliver in the dark?
Thank you for doing the first real review of the phone that I could find. I bought the armor 9 on sale a few years ago on a whim. I actually really liked it. The only complaints I had was the ui wasnt the greatest and it was missing a few modern features. I broke the charging board (kinda my fault dropped it while charging and it landed upright in the charging cable). Since I had to wait a month for the board I decided to buy their ultra cheap x11. It's clearly built on a budget but I figured it gives me a way to see if their software improved in these past few years before I buy the 18t. Sadly it's much worse on the x11. Some of it is clearly because of the cheap hardware, but the software they use to optimize performance is buggy as hell. Out of all my apps only two widgets worked with the phone. Also one minor thing that really grinds my gears is I couldn't figure out how to get Spotify controls on the lock screen. I've tried everything I could think of. I hope the 18t is better in that regard because I still haven't found a better competitor yet and will probably still buy it eventually.
The best honest review I have seen on this phone. Does it come with a UK plug or do you have to use an adaptor?
Ours didn't have a UK plug, no.
hello!
i'm having this phone for a little while...
when connected to a pc, is recognized straightforward...
however after the first click to enter the folder structure this one result empty;
a further oddity the fact that, if USB debug is activated on the phone,
it will completely disappear from the PC.
Issues related to the phone rather than PC...any hint?
the issue may be an added settings that my prevent the opening of the dialog box such as "file transfer",
problem are present in both ANDROID12and13
mobileGO, a mobile manager installed in windows, will recognize the device connected, but will show a blank phone
my device got flir thermal
please review, thanks
How do you get image stabilization on video?
Works for basically everything I need it to do, I work in the hvacr field. However, daytime screen brightness sucksssss..
I've been having sleepless nights over this phone watching videos of thermal vision really got hyped up. At home been making DIY IR lights & removing IR filter from action camera to see in the dark, powerbank upgrades, etc, still thermal camera is a gamechanger to wildlife capturing. Maybe I'll finally be able to see some foxes that "wou wou" in the forest 🙆🏻
do not buy a ulefone. you'll regret it. the first time you go to hit the wake button and it just stays black for no reason for any random amount of time? yeah. do NOT buy one.
Aww infrared fox
I was already excited about this, but I didn't realize it had the endoscope. One less tool to cary.
Does this phone work in the US on T Mobile?
Thank you, very useful information.
Many thanks for your smart description.
I have a Ulefone Armor 7, had it for 3 years or so. The things that annoy me about it are the quality of mobile calls, the volume of the speaker and the fact it turns on in my pocket at the drop of a hat and then decides to turn itself off as well. I could really do with mobile reviews that tell us how good they are as phones, does the volume go up enough, are the buttons "clicky" enough to not press in your pocket, can it pick up a signal in a poor signal area? You know stuff that a mobile phone is used for.
Volume of speaker and turning in your pocket can be tested but quality of calls is more debatable because it depends on the network provider as well.
You definitely need a few other phones and repeated testing to make sure of call quality. Most don't bother though because in general tech has reach a point that call quality is never much of an issue.
take off the side trim and add pieces of rubber under the metal button. it will increase resistance.
do you ever have the issue where you hit the wake button and the phone just doesn't light up? my phone has had a black screen for 4 hours now for no reason, hit wake button. nothing. BUT the blue notification light is blinking so its on and working...just won't give me a display.
@@richarddutton1981 I have stopped using it. I got a refurbed Samsung S22 Ultra and an Otter case from Amazon. So much better.
Just bought one. Awaiting shipping date of May 4th.
I have a galaxy fold 3 I stopped using once I got this 18T...love this phone! Perfection would be better camera software. I think the great 108MP camera is being underutilized
I've got a N20U and am thinking of getting this rugged phone, too. What is the phone call quality like on this 18T?
@@ZigZag9639 I've had no issues with phone call quality. I've not tested scientifically between phones but no one has complained and it's been a similar experience for me with my Samsung phones
Great review!
But I guess you ment 6000mAh, not 600 :)
But the battery is even bigger as you later mention.
Keep up the great work
Ah, I think I meant to say 9600, must have missed the nine. ;)
Looking at 20WT reviews got me here. Now I want a 20WT PTT but with 18T cameras. There's always a compromise.
Great review, thank you
looks like i have decided on my next phone already.
Hi frome Mexico, the 19T it is better or 18T ?, thank. ..
I had no idea they had a new one I'm about to go look for it thank u for the info
No, the 19T is cheaper and has weaker processor than 18T 5g
19t is 4g only, 18t is 5g
Do they sell these for Americans with normal power outlets?
thanks for the review
Where can I buy from
Banggood has it for 550 euros, just ordered it :)
poo shovel made this review probably the best review In-The_World
Does this ulefone 18T have dual simcards
yes, dual NanoSIM slots
Review sounds honest
I have the power armor 13... A great phone but very heavy and impractical when out and about. Poor speaker quality, but good at work due to rugged design.
Does it have NFC feature?
Yea
Is this good for gaming and camera?
Not particularly.
Why do we need iPhone ultra?
I'm in interested
How's the speaker
Loud, and bad.
can you use an esim?
He told you this information in the video!!!!
What is the difference between 18T and 19T.?
Price, type of processor, and front selfie camera
So 18T is better than 19T for some reason, it has a stronger SoC/processor and also its 5g while 19T is only 4g.
Weird
@@fs5866 yeah, but the thermal sensor is the same for both, 160x120 pixels, FLIR Lepton 3.5 . 18T would be better because it has 32MPixel camera, while 19T only 16MPixel camera. Also Samsung has its own chip fab, while Sony doesn't , it manufactures everything at TSMC, therefore Samsung would be always better (18T has Samsung's CMOS for cameras).
There are lots of other Ulefone models that have similar features but for much cheaper. If you don't need a FLIR camera, you can get them for closer to $500 or less
Right - the entire reason to buy this model is the FLIR camera.
I like armoured phone
Send me one! Been using OnePlus phones since the first OnePlus. Looking for a reason to switch to another brand, hopefully Ulefone can send me one😬😬😬
I work in heavy industry and a strap is a must. Dont think it has one ....then a no
😮 is it bullet resistant??
... no
Very nice
Finding criminals hiding in bushes
long story short, it is well equipped but its not gonna make you a Instagram queen. Im good with that.
I have the 19T, and I don't buy this phone for the camera. I buy this phone because I need a phone I hope last for years and the FLIR. I had my Huawei mate 20 for 6 years without any problems and hope this phone I can use for 6 years or more. But most downside is the microphone quality and not much settings. See my videos Huawei system settings vs Ulefone 19T system settings
Cool
And it's really hard changing from Samsung and the phone screen even worst.
Think its battery life will last longer than I do tbh
I want it to use the endoscope to see how many of my SW action figures still live in the floor vents of my parents' house, lol.
Is the phone being given away the poo shovel phone. My desire to enter is 1,000,000% based on the answer to this question.
GR, AA.
Hah! No, you can have a clean one, but we could perhaps organize a special bundle of chicken poo to emulate the video?
@@MakeUseOf -- HA! There ya go. "The phone that gives a shit", lol. With that tagline they'll sell themselves 😁 Genius, sir.
front selfish camera compared to an iphone yessireebob..👍🏻
Quit lying it is a powerful chipset!
!
DO NOT BUY ULEFONES!!!!! ive had three different ones in the last two years and i finally said enough. Each one of the three did the same thing. The screen sometimes just wont turn on when you hit the button. Ulefone i have now has had a black screen for the last 4 hours but the little blue notification light keeps blinking so the phone is on and working, just wont actually light up. All three ulefones ive ever had have done this, this is just the first time its lasted more than 5 minutes.
I have had three. First one got issues but the other two never had any real issues.
Can u please give me that phone, if u want 😊
Cop phone
Only reason I stopped watching was F-L-I-R. It's FLIR mate.
It's an abbreviation for Forward-Looking InfraRed. Why would I say "fleer"? You do you, though.
flir is rubbish res
Don't buy a Ulefone I own a Ulefone and couple of my friends...... And the screen broke very easy... I'm posting a video with three Ulefones in Trinidad what broke easily
Ignore this muppet. It has been nearly 2 weeks and he still hasn't uploaded a video. Keeps using the exudes that he's waiting for a refund... Just keeps spamming on other people's reviews.
I have an armor 7 for 3 years and I work in mining. No problems with mine. Perhaps you don’t look after it
@@jameshind6644 hope they don't block this link again
Its a rugged phone, maybe your one wasnt..
I never had screen breaking issues with the three I owned.
Will ot work with cricket or att
Remember, the world is a big place. There is a world outside your border, a world with more history in almost every industry you can think of.
Now, having understood this information, try pretending you are someone who doesn't live inside your head reading what you have written. Ignoring your 'ot' spelling error', you'll have tens of millions of followers of the world's second most popular sport - cricket - asking themselves how this phone can be used when playing cricket. You'll also have folk asking what the hell 'att' means.
I'll rewrite this for you.....
"Does anyone know if this phone works with the cell phone (mobile phone everywhere else) network providers 'Cricket Wireless' or 'AT&T' in the United States of America?
I have taken the knowledge provided to me by my Scottish education - yes, Scotland is in that place you forgot exists, the world outside the United States of America - to furnish you with the following information:
