Just installed the update, and now apparently my Dimensity 9300 got replaced with a "Helio G25 8 cores at 2000 MHz".

Just in case, i installed the fake device test app to make 100% sure i have the SoC that i paid for.

What the heck is going on at Ulefone HQ? Do they even test these updates before rolling them out?

I thought that i had played through every possible russian path, untill a couple days ago. You can make Navalny fascist by picking the focuses that give daily fascist support and the "terrorize x-country" decisions.

I just finished the 2nd russian civil war and Stalin somehow relocated the fleet to the Caspian sea.

Now to get them out, I need to research construction 4 and then build the canal that leads there.

As amazing as the Armor phone's hardware is, one very negative surprise that comes with it is the "1 inch sensor flagship camera".

Ulefone, are we deadass? Look at the last two pictures (they were both at 4x zoom). The mid-range Poco absolutely blows away your "flagship".

Now, I don't mean to slander the company, i'm just expressing my disappointment. Sorry but i expected more from such a pricey device.

Or am i doing something wrong? I used the default camera app on both phones. Is there a better alternative for Ulefone? Please let me know in the comments.

Follow up from my last post, when i upgraded from Armor 24, and now I'm writing a detailed review. Long post ahead, i will put a TLDR at the end.

Build quality: 10/10

As i said previously, the AMOLED screen is a huge upgrade from the older LCD.

The phone's housing as what you would expect from a Ulefone brick: tough, bulky, but the curved rear edges make it fit comfortably in your hand.

It also came with a factory installed screen protector. It's not tempered glass, it's TPU, a rubber-like material that allegedly absorbs shock better, i felt like it's worth mentioning.

Battery: 12/10

This is the main reason i considered Ulefone in the first place, and it did not disappoint. The battery holds a solid 20h of screen time from 100 to 20%, with moderate usage (social media, light gaming).

What impressed me more was the 120W charger: it goes from 20 to 90% in only 30 minutes!

OS and software: 8/10

Clean os with almost no bloatware. But i still don't understand the point of Duraspeed, so i just disable it.

Cameras: 5/10

I'm sorry, but the main camera is extremely mid for a "flagship" phone. Only 4x zoom, like for real?? It's not terrible, as you can see on the last 3 photos i posted, but my sister's Xiaomi 15T takes much better photos than this. Same goes for my friend's S23U.

There's barely any improvement from Armor 24's main camera. I was going to give a 4/10 but i gave +1 point for the night vision cam.

Performance: 10/10

Dimensity 9300 coupled with 16+16GB RAM, i don't think there's a need for me to comment any further.

Overall satisfaction: 9/10

I love it, it's just what i was looking for: a big battery phone with a powerful SoC. The increased weight and thickness took me a few days to get used to, but thats fine. I got it with a big discount so i can't complain.

TLDR: everything you read in the specs is true. An amazing phone if you dont mind the mid-range cameras on your "flagship" device.

What a brutal phone. I expected that i will get an upgrade in terms of a better SoC and camera, but man, that's not even the beginning.

I've been considering to replace my aging Armor 24 for months now, but i couldn't decide between the Armor 34, Doogee v max plus, or to wait for the new V Max 2. However, one day, my friend who imports rugged phones offered me this beast with a discount, and i accepted.

The first thing i noticed when i turned the 29 on is the AMOLED screen. The difference in quality between this and the older LCD is night and day.

The better SoC, the larger memory, the cameras, the overall build quality, the longer WiFi range, everything on this phone is flagship tier.

To those considering to buy this phone: you wont regret it. After using it for a couple weeks i will make a more detailed review.

Which unit uses this and how do you research it? I just finished a Sternberg Eurasia conquest, and saw this in my stockpile.
