Better signal, response, call clarity, crisp execution of interface.
This operates leaps and bounds ahead of the 800$ phones that are sold by big brands....
Oh it's also extremely durable waterproof and the battery is over 10k miliamps.
I highly recommend if your sick of getting mediocre performance from top dollar brands. FYI they are all manufactured in China lol. Ulefone is doing well for sure.
So far I'm very pleased with the phone. I simply swapped the sim from my old verizon phone and it worked right away. It's fast, it's beefy, it has a massive battery and has a cool walkie talkie. And it doesn't ship with verizon bloatware, (just google bloatware but there's no evading that).
Be aware it's BEEFY, it's not a dainty iphone. You won't be able to break it but it is heavy. My wife almost balked at the weight. but the overall features of the phone sold her.
Also and it's a minor point, but the vibration is pretty weak and doesn't seem to be adjustable. You could easily fail to notice it if you are paying attention to anything else. I wouldn't count on this to get your attention, and if it's important you not miss anything use audible rings or notifications.
My personal "wish for" feature for the next version would be wireless charging.
- 10300 mAh battery !!! from day 1 (fully charged) using this phone hardcore - web browsing, broadcasting, playing videos, and after 5 days i still have 79% battery chatge left, astonishing.
- the Sony 21 MP camera (in the back) makes crystal clear and very detailed pictures, also the front 8 MP camera, but i dont use it much!
- the IP rating seem to be as advertised, tested with tons of water, while playing a video 100% volume
-the built in Walkie Talkie is fantastic, with its dedicated button on the left side (a PTT and cannot be modified)
a frequency counter is recommended ! once you have all the frequency the setup is simple.
- the fingerprint scanner works great, and multiple profile can be added , unlocks the phone withing ms. ( less than ~ 1 sec )
-Built in GPS ---------all i can think of right now, much more of course!
All this ^^ for relative "cheap" price ! you get much more than other fancy 1000$ ++ brands.
This phone is a power brick, and its LARGE due to its battery.
Dont buy it, if you dont like big phones!
radio sound clear and smooth
On 7cm I got 5W high power and 0.6W on low power
On 2M I got 5.2W high power and 0.65W on low power
so saying its average 3W is pretty good and honest.
its pretty good on batteries
on the radio I see not offset settings and no scanning channels that would be a grate feature a waterfall would be assume I think if you put more radio app feathers in it would be a huge seller for the ham radio people.
Pros of the Ulefone Armor 20WT
Built Like a Tank:
The Armor 20WT is super tough. It's designed to survive drops, water, and dust, so you don't have to baby it. Perfect for those who are always on the move in rough environments.
Two-in-One Communication:
This phone works as a UHF walkie-talkie and a POC (Push-to-Talk over Cellular) radio. You can always stay in touch, whether in the middle of nowhere or in a city.
Battery That Keeps Going:
No more worrying about your phone dying in the middle of nowhere. The Armor 20WT has a big battery that lasts long, perfect for those long days out.
Durable Screen:
The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, which means it's resistant to scratches and can handle a few knocks and drops.
Smooth Performance:
With a strong processor and plenty of RAM, this phone can handle your apps and multitasking without slowing down.
Great Connectivity:
It supports 4G LTE and multiple network bands to stay connected even in remote areas.
Cons of the Ulefone Armor 20WT
A Bit on the Heavy Side:
The rugged design makes it bulkier and heavier than regular phones. It might not be the most pocket-friendly device out there.
Accessory Hunt:
Finding accessories like cases and screen protectors specifically for this phone might be a challenge.
Pricey:
It’s more expensive than your average smartphone, but you’re paying for the extra durability and features.
Why Dual UHF and POC Radio is Awesome
Switching Made Easy:
You can switch between UHF and POC modes based on where you are and what you need. It’s super flexible.
Great Range:
UHF radios are perfect for short-range communication without needing a cellular network. If you are a Ham Amateur Radio Licensed Operator ), you can program the repeater for more excellent UHF distance communication. POC radios use cellular networks for longer distances, giving you a wider reach.
Always Reliable:
You'll always have a reliable communication method, whether in the middle of nowhere or in the city.
Cost-Effective:
Using POC for long-distance communication can be cheaper than traditional UHF radios, which might need extra infrastructure.
Better Team Coordination:
If you’re working on a construction site or managing an event, the dual radio features make it easier to keep everyone informed.
Conclusion
The Ulefone Armor 20WT Walkie Talkie Rugged Phone is a fantastic choice if you need a phone that can handle tough environments and offer reliable communication. While it’s bulkier than regular smartphones, its durability and dual UHF and POC radio features make it a valuable tool for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals. If you need a phone that can do it all and survive the elements, the Armor 20WT is definitely worth considering.
RAM usage on startup is 3GB, so Android is getting fatter than ever. That a phone should ever even need 12GB RAM is just boggling, but in this case it helps a lot. The 8GB boost is provided by the internal storage and must be activated in the settings. I doubt I'll need it as I don't play games.
Feature lists were inconsistent and seemed to suggest that this device has a barometer. It does, and the included "toolbox" app includes an altimeter with calibration options.
It does have two separate SIM slots, PLUS a third slot for the uSD card. I've never seen that in a phone before as they usually have one SIM slot serving double duty as a uSD slot. This is one of the major reasons I chose this device. The slots are behind the metal plabe on the back just below the camera. Two tiny screwdrivers are included to remove this panel.
The included charging cable is surprisingly heavy, as is the charger itself. That's because it's a 33W charger which lists the following power outputs: 5V 3A (15W), 9V 3A (27W), 11V 3A (33W), 12V 2.5A (30W), 15V 2A (30W), 20V 1.5A (30W). That's quite a versatile little charger! Voltage selection must be automatic, but I've not tested it with other devices yet. Both it and the phone get quite warm when charging, but it charges fast.
The box included a couple of glass screen protectors, but they're thinner than some 3rd party models. Still, it's thoughtful. There is even a lanyard which can be attached on the back top of the device!
And now that gigantic battery... I can use this phone for several days on a single charge, but I've set the display brightness to auto. There is even a blue light filter which is adjustable, and an extra-dim setting that can be found in the customizable swipe-down menue. Both settings are on at all times, so that helps.
Now some things I don't like:
The fingerprint sensor is not the greatest but it works. The camera is listed as having much lower resolution than the official features list would suggest (based on 3rd party sensors detection app), and even seems to be less sensitive than other devices. Call audio is terrible compared to the WP5 Pro, though most calls I've had were from an iPhone on speaker, which sucks on any receiving device. Otherwise it can be quite loud depending on who calls and on what kind of phone.
I have yet to use the built-in UHF radio, but will update this review when I do test it. The box includes a spare cap for the antenna port, and the antenna itself. There is also an FM radio app, but it expects headphones to be plugged in and will not permit tuning otherwise. I tried using the charging cable by itself to no avail, and cannot test it since I don't have USB-C headphones. I don't even know if this phone has a DAC built in, there was no mention of it anywhere.
Annoyingly, using LDAC codec defaults to "Best Effort" (adaptive bit rate) when Bluetooth is connected, and can only be set as high as "Balanced". Setting it to the highest quality will result in severe stuttering. This is based on the Earstudio ES100 Mk2 headphone amp and it's official app, which has no settings for LDAC quality.
Conclusion:
Not a bad phone, but as expected there are _some_ issues. For the most part I can live with them, but your mileage may vary.
If I had one thing negative to say it would be about its size doesn't fit in pockets very well but with it's built in clip it's easy to work with but the phone is always out where it can be seen .
the camera is a JOKE. the sefile camera especially, has a reddish tint... and super grainy in low light.
Nevertheless, five stars still. It delivers on its promise. super rugged phone, water proof, MASSIVE battery... goes for days without recharging. that's what i bought it for.
Although there is a bug/design issue if you're trying to run bluetooth where the phone shuts down all running apps and keeps disconnecting your bluetooth. Not a deal breaker for me but probably to some who want to use it for their car/headphones.
Gracias ULEFONE.
Received this phone 2 days ago. Very pleased so far. Phone comes with everything you need and then some. The switch from my Stylo4 was easy. The only con at this point is the weight of the phone. Very heavy but easy to get used to.
It has great camar the battery will last 3 day's or more with out charging
I work in construction and give it a hard live and it's a very resistant phone
I recommend it 100%
I get complements on it all the time I have taken some pictures under water also it's just great all the way.
It comes with a glass protector a bike adapter charger and much more.
These phones are surprisingly durable. We have dropped them, thrown them and broken the screen protectors a couple times but the phone doesn't miss a beat.
Three things I have as detractors. 1) One of my two front facing speakers quit working. But since there are two... Oh well. 2) my mic when on speakerphone is garbage... Again, oh well, it works fine making regular calls and with the radio feature. 3) something in my rear facing camera, possibly a lens?, broke loose. The camera still works but I have to play with it a bit.
None of these problems concerned me enough to reach out about warranty, since I'm fairly certain they were all caused by the abuse these units see. So overall... Five stars!
If you are looking for a heavy duty phone for rugged conditions, this one is great. If you understand the Android platform you will be able to quickly use this and figure everything else out as you go.
Order this last July or so, unfortunately I did crack the lens on the back camera and moisture in the speaker.. customer service was very easy to deal with and was more than happy to assist getting a replacement. One of the best customer service experiences I've ever had, and one of the best phones I've had in a long time. Battery life lasts about 2 days on average, 3 if I'm not playing The Tower. I love the questions from people.."what kind of phone is that?!"
