if you're one of those people that are really rough on their phone so you often
drop your phone or perhaps you're a tradesman you need a phone that can take
a few knocks drops water-resistant splash resistance and something this
overall is going to be solid you often break your phones then this might be
something to look at this is the Ulefone armor six this has a Helio p60 in
it so unlike the previous models it has a slightly newer chip it is faster and
you do notice their performance difference with this one here so there
are some specs right up here if you want to see all of those specs listed out and
following that as some time codes there so feel free to skip ahead to whatever
part of this video you would like to check out about this rugged ip68 phone
here in the box the phone comes with a pre applied screen protector you get an
additional screen protector a user manual a fast charger this is using
media tech pump Express so 12 volts 1.5 amps and there's a current promotion
that you get a 10 watt wireless charger too as well that's Qi standard and
then we have the red type C 2 USB cable we have a type C 2 USB adapter there for
your on-the-go and of course a 3.5 millimeter to type C adapter and this
phone sadly does not have a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and you're
probably wondering why is there a plastic pry tool in the box and that is
because the covers over the ports they are a little tricky to get out
especially if you don't have long fingernails the phone is a thick 13
point six millimeters that's with the camera Bob it's its thickest point and a
heavy 267 grams so it is a chunky big phone the phone has a metal and rubber
housing to it like other durable phones here so this rubber housing it's gonna
protect the screen the corners where it will most often hit and just bounce off
that solid rubber there this is why the phone feels so heavy it does feel really
solid in your pocket it's pretty big with that 13 millimeters and the weight
of it too so it feels quite chunky as mentioned so we've got the middle on the
side that does say shockproof I personally wish that it didn't actually
say anything but you know it doesn't look too bad that some tray on the lift
is covered with a gasket of course this is part of that ip68 rating
that it has now if you happen to break off this gasket eventually they're going
to wear out the one on the type C port is going to be the most susceptible as
both a pro and a con I see it so the pro of course it's not going to get dirt and
dust in there especially in the type C port end up blocking it but the kind of
course is that eventually it's got rubber in there and that's going to wear
out eventually and there will one day you might end up losing it and once you
lose it then you can kiss goodbye that ip68 rating and that's of course why we
do have the wireless charging on this model so they're put in that 10 watt
fast wireless charging so you can use that instead of having to plug it in
every day and that's going to help and hopefully that won't mean that if you
try not to use this gasket open it all the time it'll last a lot longer and you
retain that IP rating on the right hand side you will find another piece of
metal there on this side and in our metal volume and power buttons so these
buttons did you have a quality feel to them they feel very solid and you can
see there it does say waterproof on the side and those two cameras on the rear
they can do an average portrait mode so we've got a 21 megapixels sensor paired
up with a 13 if that can be believed because other material was saying it was
16 and 13 so I don't really know there now those little holes on the back those
are microphones along the top there is no 3.5 millimeter headphone jack on this
so they decided to ditch it probably for that waterproofing they just found it
too hard maybe too expensive to do that and you can see it does say ip68 on the
top so it has an IPS screen this one has a maximum output of only 360 Lux so it's
not super bright so if you're in a really bright environment direct
sunlight legibility is average and yes it does have a notch which is housing or
13 megapixel front facing camera there is a status LED to the right of the
earpiece now the earpiece I sometimes question the quality of the air pieces
in these waterproof phones or ones with IP ratings they tend to be a little bit
muffled but it's not the case here it's only muffle when a bit of water gets
into it but when it doesn't have any water in it it sounds good to me very
clear in fact surprised me apart from that slightly disappointing maximum
brightness I feel it should be a lot more for a rugged out
or phone the gamma isn't too bad it's a little off here you can see about 2.1
2.0 it should be 2.2 blacks aren't super deep as you'd expect from an IPS panel
overall when you look at real-world images they look ok they're fine in fact
the screen I feel the quality of it is actually better than the likes of the
honor of view 20 the v20 that I reviewed that mobile phone so it has a very
minimal amount of IPS bleed and you don't really see too much of that a
little bit of a dark patches around the knotch but it's very hard to see nowhere
near as bad again as that view 20 I looked at it is covered with Gorilla
Glass now of course I put that on there and I don't know what version it is I
believe it could be five because that is a tougher more drop resistant screen the
phone is powered by that octa-core Hallie Opie's 60 now this one puts out a
run about a hundred and thirty thousand for the antutu score this isn't a bad
score the performance of the ROM in general I find to be good it's
reasonably fluid we've got six gigabytes on RAM on here which I believe is
helping a little bit with that multitasking so when you go through that
and you do see sometimes a little bit of slowdown what I've noticed is sometimes
the app launch time can be a little bit slow but overall for the chipset it's
got on here I find the performance to be reasonably good
so this ant running Android this is eight point one that we have on here and
as you can see it has a November security patch level so that's getting a
little bit dated now there was an over the air update this was bug fixes but it
didn't increase that patch level unfortunately out of the box you don't
really get any bloatware would this perhaps the game mode the translator
they put on there and yes it does have FM radio but you need that type C 2 3.5
millimeter adapter or plug in a Type C headphone for it to work of course
because it acts as the antenna for the FM radio now if you're a tradesman you
might want to use some of these here maybe not they do not not be actually
that accurate it's just using senses after all but there are some tools on
here in the app called tool bag one of them which measures UV light so you can
see right here that is our UV sensor it's gonna tell you whether we have
extreme UV reading moderate and it'll just let you know now for free space you
get here you can see over 100 gigabytes free so that's not too bad and the
storage speeds these are good these are respectable it has an emmc 5.1 speck
drive on here so no problems with that a bit in an outdoor kind of phone yes GPS
does work reasonably well it's not going to lock on to every single satellite
accuracy will hover around the 4 meter mark so if you're gonna get a hiking
tramping mountain biking or whatever at least it does get a quick lock and it
seems to keep it which is the main thing 4G reception is excellent in fact it's
even better if you can trust those bars than my samsung galaxy s 9 Plus this
surprised me I'm getting very good downloads through it and the reception
call quality is where I've made some calls and I find that is excellent the
mics seem to be alright the mic on the bottom there so that is good now our
wireless speeds they are really good however I have noticed that the wireless
range in my testing at home is not as good as other mobile phones and I
believe the culprit is our metal body around us and all that rubber is
affecting the signal strength a little bit it's just not as good as it could be
you can see here with wireless analyzer with other phones I'm getting a lot
better signal strength so bear that in mind that the wireless signal isn't the
greatest the strength on this one the armor 6 has face unlocking so just
demonstrate that now so the power but on the side tapped that to wake it up look
at the camera and it unlocks it's normally really quick the fingerprint
read on the back as well well it's not the most accurate I have noticed that it
will probably work maybe every 8 or 9 times out of 10 so I'll just demonstrate
it now touch it and it unlocks it takes about one second so overall it's not too
bad and it's just that accuracy could be a little bit better I feel so what about
the camera is now normally these kind of phones the focus is not really the
cameras it has very average cameras on this as expected so low light is not
great video quality I will give you some samples but only a short couple of cut
samples up to 1080p maximum so there's no 4k on this and you see the standard
kind of media ticks it up here with a few tweaks with the camera app the
viewfinder often suffer from a bit of lag so this is our
video it does not have any electronic image stabilization and the microphone
quality is average and I've noticed that sometimes the focus goes off as well so
1080p max no 4k with us it's not amazing quality it's better than some of the
other media tech funds I like that but you can see there that focus struggling
to get a proper lock here now if you do plan to record in low light expect very
poor quality as you can see that it's not amazing it's a little bit choppy and
with the front-facing camera if you wanted to shoot some vlogs or something
like that it's only 720p max here so quite a low resolution I was hoping for
at least 10 ap with this 8 megapixel sensor but it's not the case here so you
are able to game on this phone in the frame rate most of the games I've been
testing is quite fluid it's a lot better this hello P 60 the GPU they're using
than the previous Mele GPUs they had and the older media tech chipsets and you do
notice that now of course some games that are really demanding once high
graphics you will need to alter the settings just a lot of things down a
little bit so you get anymore playable framerate but overall I think for the
most part most of these games are gonna be running well smooth frame rate now it
does generate a little bit of heat of notice so after this is lineage 2 after
about an hour of gaming it was getting quite warm just around this area here
that's on the normal settings so do expect a little bit of warmth after
gaming for a while so the phone has a single loudspeaker just on the back here
that's it right there that little gap it will give you a sample of it just a
second so I mentioned before that voice calls do actually sound really good on
this phone now if you use a 3.5 million to your typical headset the quality's
fine it's nothing to rave about I didn't notice any static or any problems really
with it
taking a look at our battery stats now so it is holding up well it does have a
five thousand milliamp hour battery which is a large battery and you can see
screen on time almost nine hours I haven't made many calls only ten minutes
in total over the period of a day while this has been on and also a good
bluetooth there as well so I think you can possibly get maybe 10 hours out of
this it's gonna last most people two days possibly even three
so it does have good battery life charge time on the armored six here is
approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes to fully top off that five thousand
milliamp hour battery so if you get the offer with the free wireless charger it
is a 10 watt Qi standard one and has a good bill to it very nice you can see
middle on the bottom all rubber around the outside so it's not gonna slide off
a table anything like that now charge times are quite a bit longer this is 10
watts at its charging at and it takes just over three hours and 40 minutes to
fully charge so you'd probably just do this at night before you go to bed so
who is this phone for I feel hikers trampers treyton and someone that's
rough with their phone so you're a plumber you keep dropping your phone you
keep knocking it around and you've cracked the screen on your phone a few
times this doesn't mean the screen is not going to crack on this one of course
because it just depends where you hid it if you did have this fall on top of a
rock then it's possible you're going to crack the screen on this now I know I
haven't shown you any durability tests why is that well I don't believe in
smashing up perfectly fine tech even dropping it at least marks on the rubber
on the outside and I do actually need to sell this on to recover my costs of this
video so that is why if you don't think that's a little of a general reason well
there'll be other videos out there I'm sure that we'll be doing those kind of
tests so check those ones out there so you buy this phone I feel for that
durability and of course the extra speed you get so other durable phones the ones
that have IP ratings on that they've got normally weaker chipsets this one's a
little bit more powerful and to 230 thousand six gigabytes of RAM reasonably
fast storage 128 gigabytes of that as well
so no 3.5 millimeter headphone jack as a little disappointing there we do have a
status LED on the front voice calls are very good
4G signal reception as well surprised me it's quite good and the voice calls
sound a lot better and then I was expecting with this phone there's a one
weakness er that I did pick up on and that is the wireless range compared to
my other phones I believe because of the middle housing on this is inhibiting the
signal a little bit so wireless that is on the 2.5 gigahertz band and 5g as well
as AC just doesn't seem to have that range that I would really hope for in a
phone like this the screen as well could be much brighter this has been
advertised as a hikers phone a tramp as phone and him using the GPS out there
you want to see the screen well for that maps when you're going and it could be a
lot brighter than what it is you can make it out in the Sun it's just not
amazing there either speaking of not amazing the cameras the video quality so
you wouldn't be buying a phone like this at all for the cameras and the better
life good you can probably get over 10 hours I was quite hard on that and
there's continual battery test that I do and I wasn't taking it easy so the
battery life I think is definitely two to three days on this one good standby
battery consumption as well so thank you so much for watching this review if you
