Editorial report

Ulefone RugKing 8 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The Ulefone RugKing is for buyers who want a rugged phone and prioritize battery capacity. Its 9,600 mAh battery holds more than most phones of its time; the trade-off is a thick, heavy body and a display among the weakest of its era.

It resists water and dust (IP68, IP69, and IP69K) and drops and shocks (MIL-STD-810H), with water resistance to 2 m. The battery supports 18 W fast charging, slower than on most phones of its time, and reverse charging. The 5.99″ IPS LCD display has 720 × 1440 px resolution and a 60 Hz refresh rate, among the lowest of its era. At 397 g and 18.3 mm thick, it is also among the heaviest and thickest phones of its time, a notable consideration for anyone who carries a phone in a pocket.

Performance is worse than most phones of its time; AnTuTu v10 gives it a score of 251,000. The 50 MP camera uses a 1/2.76″ sensor, smaller than those in most phones of its era, and has no optical image stabilization. The configuration shown pairs 8 GB RAM with 256 GB storage; a 128 GB version is also sold. Other features include Android 15, NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and dual SIM. Overall, the RugKing prioritizes ruggedness and battery capacity, with clear compromises in its display, weight, charging, and camera. Its NeoScore is 4.8, making it a better fit for buyers who value durability and 9,600 mAh over light weight and performance.
