Ulefone this week introduced its new high-end shockproof and waterproof smartphone. Dubbed the Rugger Armor six, the ruggized phone combines an IP68-rated chassis, a sizable show, several special-purpose sensors, and a high-performance SoC. Clearly keying in on a particular industry segment for the new telephone, the Armor 6 will also ship with several pre-loaded applications that are intended to become useful throughout traveling or just in different harsh locales.

Whilst the basic factors behind such design decisions are much more or significantly less obvious (e.g., preserve their BOM costs and heat soak in check), there are numerous people that choose to possess a rugged smartphone without having making fairly so many compromises. The Ulefone Armor 6 in turn is seeking to carve out a niche for itself in that market by supplying a rugged style with above-average hardware.

On the outside, the Armor 6 has a a rather decent seeking chassis featuring a die cast frame covered with protective rubber and red or grey metallic inlays. The enclosure is rated to manage drops from 1.two meters, submersion into water (up to 1.five meters for up to 60 minutes), thermal shocks, corrosive environments, and so on. Meanwhile, framing a six.2-inch 2246×1080 LCD show protected making use of Corning’s Gorilla Glass five, the Armor 6 is typically quite large and heavy: it's 160 mm tall, 13.3 mm thick, and weighs 228 grams. All of which makes the Armor 6 a lot larger than standard consumer smartphones, but is relatively typical for this industry segment.

Moving on for the insides of the Ulefone Armor six. The smartphone is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P60 SoC, a eight-core design and style with quad A73 and quad A53 Arm cores too as Aem's Mali-G72MP3 GPU. The SoC is paired with 6 GB of DRAM and 128 GB of NAND flash storage. Several current ruggedized smartphones have been based on cheaper SoCs with low-power Cortex-A53 CPU cores, so the Armor six is notable for its overall performance potential. Because it appears, Ulefone decided to not reduce corners and employed a fairly high-performance SoC with Cortex-A73 cores in order to make sure that owners of the handset can use all applications they want to using a comfortable level of overall performance.

As far as connectivity is concerned, the handset supports 30 frequency bands as well as GPS/AGPS+GLONASS+Beidou positioning. Consequently it may be utilized in 90% locations more than the globe, which can be especially helpful for people who travel to various remote corners of the globe. As for neighborhood connectivity, the Armor six supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.two, NFC, too as a USB 2.0 Type-C port for information transfers and charging of its 5000 mAh battery. Speaking of charging, the telephone also supports ten W Qi wireless charging.

A single especially intriguing feature from the Armor 6 are its sophisticated imaging capabilities, that are comprised of a 16 MP + eight MP primary camera with an ƒ/2.0 huge aperture and dual LED flash, too as an eight MP selfie camera with an ƒ/2.0 huge aperture. As a way to improve the resulting image quality and boost the effective resolution of photos taken with the phone, it's configured to make use of both cameras at when, combining their inputs using a special algorithm created by Arcsoft and operating around the SoC ISP. While a neat feature in and of itself, the unfortunate side-effect is the fact that Ulefone is advertising this higher interpolated resolution because the native resolution of the camera system, which in practice isn't the case.

Meanwhile when it comes to sensors, the Ulefone Armor a5 pro Armor six has a lot that its target audience should appreciate. Amongst other issues, the smartphone is equipped using a p-sensor, an ultraviolet sensor, a coulometer, together with the other more typical sensors identified in current-generation smartphones. The smartphone comes pre-loaded with several special-purpose applications (e.g., Sound Meter, Pedometer, Bubble Level, Barometer, Protractor, UV Light Tester, Plumb Bob, etc.) that make the most of the sensors, creating it simpler to access the phone's full capabilities.
