Editorial report
Ulefone Armor 21 technical sheet
The Ulefone Armor 21 suits people who want a rugged phone and a high-capacity battery; its trade-off is an unusually heavy, thick body. It resists water and dust with IP68 and IP69K, and drops and shocks with MIL-STD-810H and drop resistance up to 1.5 m. Its 9,600 mAh battery is among the largest capacities of phones from its time; 33 W charging is typical.
The 6.58-inch IPS LCD display offers 120 Hz and 401 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phones launched around the same time. However, its 72.6% screen-to-body ratio is among the weakest, while the phone weighs 400 g and measures 18.1 mm thick, both among the highest figures. The MediaTek Helio G99, 8 GB of RAM and expandable 256 GB storage put its hardware around the typical level. Android 13, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2 and dual SIM round out the specifications.
The 64 MP camera resolution is higher than most phones of its time, while its f/1.9 aperture is worse than most. It records video at 4K and 30 fps. Overall, the Armor 21 is typical among phones launched around the same time. NeoScore: 5.6. It makes sense for people who prioritize protection and battery capacity and can accommodate its weight and thickness.
