Editorial report

Ulefone Armor 9 technical sheet

The Ulefone Armor 9 suits buyers who need a rugged phone and put battery capacity first, but its AnTuTu result is below average for phones of its time. It uses a MediaTek Helio P90, paired with 8 GB of RAM—more memory than most phones launched around the same time offer. That does not lift its AnTuTu result above the period average.

Its 6.3-inch IPS LCD display has a 1080 × 2340 px resolution and 409 ppi density, higher than that of most phones of its time. Still, the display and design overall are below average, and at 320 g the Armor 9 is heavier than most phones launched around the same time. The body withstands water and dust (IP68 and IP69K) as well as knocks and drops (MIL-STD-810G), and is rated for drops of up to 1.2 m.

The 6600 mAh battery capacity is among the highest of its time, and the battery overall is among the best; 18 W charging is average. The camera is better than most: its 1/1.72″ sensor is larger than that of most phones of its time, and its 64 MP resolution is among the highest. Its f/1.9 aperture, however, is dimmer than most. Connectivity is above average, with NFC, USB-C and dual SIM support.

With a NeoScore of 5.4, the Armor 9 is a specialized pick for buyers who want a rugged build and a high-capacity battery, and can accept its weight and lower AnTuTu performance.
