The latest rugged smartphone from Ulefone, the Armor X3, is placed in the entry-level category and comes with a low price and good overall features. Of course, an Armor Series member cannot be anything less than durable as hell, even if it belongs in the entry-level segment. To prove that, Ulefone conducted a drop test to determine and showcase exactly how durable the phone is. Let’s check it out.

Thanks to the convex design on four corners and the slant design on the back, the Armor X3 can effectively withstand drops. In the video, the device is subjected to various drop tests pushing the limits of its certifications to the maximum. You can see that it survives and can work normally after falling down from stairs, hitting solid floor or rocks from more than 1 meter high, being thrown into a puddle, etc.

It comes with an 8MP/2MP dual rear waterproof camera for vivid and crisp photos even underwater and the selfie shooter hosts a 5MP sensor that can also be used for face unlocking.

The Glove Pattern helps you control your phone when wearing gloves and the Easy Key is a dedicated button to which you can assign a specific task when pressed. It is powered by the MT6580A SoC backed by 2GB/32GB memory configuration, there is a large, 5000mAh battery, and runs the latest Android 9 Pie. Of course, IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810G certifications are a standard in the Armor Series.

In April, Ulefone released a super affordable smartphone, Note 7, that had just one flaw: It lacked 4G support.

It is powered by the Helio P22 SoC backed by 3GB of RAM plus 32GB of internal storage and can totally handle the casual use of every user. The killer feature of the device is the triple rear camera that hosts an 8MP main sensor and thanks to ArcSoft’s algorithms, it helps to capture more vivid, refined photos of beautiful scenery. There is also a 5MP front camera for selfie lovers.

The Note 7P is, of course, dual-SIM and it has an extra slot for a memory card so that you won’t need to take out one of your SIM cards. It is packed with a 3500mAh battery which can support about 1.5-2 days of normal use, definitely a winner in the entry-level category.
