Ulefone Armor 27T Pro: Rugged smartphone comes with new 5G SoC, infrared & night vision and special expansion port

The Ulefone Armor 27T Pro is a new smartphone that distinguishes itself by its durability and extensive features. Ulefone has not yet officially unveiled the model, but has already leaked tidbits of information to the media. The first images have also been published, but the manufacturer is not reinventing rugged smartphones with the Armor 27T Pro.

According to Ulefone, the model is IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certified and thus intended to withstand stress of all kinds. Although a rather bulky smartphone, it does comes with a large battery with a capacity of 10,600 mAh. Ulefone installs a night vision camera with a resolution of 64 MP and an OmniVision OV64B1B sensor and a FLIR infrared camera, which can be used to take thermal images. The main camera has a resolution of 50 MP.

A MediaTek Dimensity 6300 is installed, an SoC whose performance is likely to be perfectly adequate in many scenarios, and a 5G cellular modem. The RAM is 12 GB, while the UFS 3.1 storage measures 256 GB. Android 14 is installed. The storage can be expanded.

Wireless charging is possible at 30 watts and wired charging is 33 watts. The 6.78-inch display (FHD+) has a refresh rate of 120 Hz. An endoscope, for example, can be connected via the uSmart connector. 

The Ulefone Armor 27 Pro will be sold for around $300 from August.
