Reviews for the Ulefone Armor 26 Ultra

90% Ulefone Armor 26 Ultra Walkie-Talkie review
Source: Techradar English
The tough phone market is highly competitive, with each model striving to distinguish itself from the other. The Ulefone Armor 26 Ultra's Walkie-Talkie edition sets itself apart from most other mobiles with a set of usual features, such as Walkie-Talkie, FM Radio, and Endoscope accessory option, combined with an ultra-tough, outdoor-ready design. While many rugged phones are built tough, the Armor 26 Ultra stands out with its additional functions and features. The headline feature is the phone's ability to function as a walkie-talkie, supporting both mobile radio and DMR modes with UHF or VHF antennas. These antennas are included in the box, providing flexibility for different types of communication and are especially useful where the network signal is low.

Ulefone Armor 26 Ultra Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Ulefone Armor 26 Ultra is an extraordinary rugged phone. Although, you won’t find the near-flagship experience or specs. But, there’s no doubt that armored phones have evolved as compared to the previous generation. Unlike other armored phones, the Armor 26 Ultra isn’t a hard-shell phone with a poor chipset. Instead, the phone offers a pretty decent hardware configuration with ample battery support. Having the powerful Demiensity 8020 chipset does leverage better display, camera, and charging solutions. Not to forget, you will find additional functions with accessories. But, if you are looking at the whole picture, the phone might not a be good choice for everyone. The reason would be the still low-performance hardware. Anyway, you can choose other options like the Xiaomi Redim Turbo 3 if you want a little bit of everything. However, choose a phone that meets your requirements.

75% Ulefone Armor 26 Ultra review: A heavy duty powerhouse
Source: Android Police English
The ideal place for this phone is mounted on a vehicle, which is odd considering that Ulefone failed to offer the car mounting kit it badly needs. When combined with some inexpensive accessories, this phone could be handy for those in the automotive trade or machine repair. The extensive camera features make it suitable for capturing events and dramatic scenery, and the water and dust resistance offers dependable durability. It's less compelling as a daily driver, though, because it's decidedly heavy, making it unsuitable for anyone with wrist issues. In the end, what's striking about this phone is how many high-quality parts Ulefone put inside and the generally high-quality construction it uses, especially given the relatively low price.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
