Buy Ulefone Armor 6 this week introduced its new high-end shockproof and waterproof smartphone. Dubbed the Rugger Armor six, the ruggized telephone combines an IP68-rated chassis, a big display, multiple special-purpose sensors, as well as a high-performance SoC. Clearly keying in on a specific marketplace segment for the new phone, the Armor six will also ship with multiple pre-loaded applications that are intended to be helpful during traveling or just in different harsh locales.

Broadly speaking, most rugged smartphones must make trade-offs to attain their style targets, such as utilizing an inelegant chassis, mediocre hardware inside, or rather ordinary displays. While the general causes behind such design choices are more or less apparent (e.g., keep their BOM costs and heat soak in verify), there are lots of individuals who favor to possess a rugged smartphone without having producing quite numerous compromises. The Ulefone Armor six in turn is trying to carve out a niche for itself in that industry by supplying a rugged design with above-average hardware.

On the outside, the Armor 6 includes a a rather decent searching chassis featuring a die cast frame covered with protective rubber and red or grey metallic inlays. The enclosure is rated to deal with 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 display protected utilizing Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5, the Armor 6 is usually pretty huge and heavy: it is 160 mm tall, 13.three mm thick, and weighs 228 grams. All of which tends to make the Armor six a lot bigger than regular customer smartphones, but is relatively standard for this marketplace 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 also as Aem's Mali-G72MP3 GPU. The SoC is paired with six GB of DRAM and 128 GB of NAND flash storage. Many current ruggedized smartphones have already been according to cheaper SoCs with low-power Cortex-A53 CPU cores, so the Armor 6 is notable for its performance potential. Because it appears, Ulefone decided not to cut corners and used a comparatively high-performance SoC with Cortex-A73 cores to be able to ensure that owners from the handset can use all applications they need to using a comfy amount of performance.
