The Ulefone Armor is an affordable tank of a smartphone for the outdoorsy active types
Ulefone has announced a new handset, which is currently up for pre-sale at a special discount. The phone in question is called the Ulefone Armor and, as the name suggests, it's a device with a rugged look and robust protection built-in.
Under the tough shell of the Armor, we have a midranger's hardware setup — a 64-bit, octa-core MT6753 SoC, 3 GB of RAM, and a 32 GB storage chip. The camera on the back is outfitted with a 13 MP sensor and there's a respectable 3,500 mAh battery to keep the lights on. The display is a bit small, with a 4.7-inch diagonal, allowing the phone to stay on the compact side despite the bulky armor surrounding it. It has a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, resulting in a PPI density of about 313, so it'll look sharp enough without putting too much strain on the hardware. The phone ships with Android 6 Marshmallow with a custom Ulefone UI skin on top.
