Ulefone Armor 34 Pro: Rugged smartphone with monster battery and projector comes at a price

All details about the Armor 34 Pro have just been published, including its release date. The model will be available at a discounted price between June 16 and 25. The official price (or at least a potentially inflated strike price) is expected to be just under $1,000. Users will probably also be able to secure additional discounts upon checkout. 

The smartphone weighs a whopping 825 grams and is 32.7 millimeters thick. It not only boasts a robust design in compliance with IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H standards, but also a projector. This is said to deliver 150 lumens and be able to project an image up to 100 inches in size. However, the rather low brightness level of 150 lumens calls into question the practicality of such large projections. Thanks to an offset, the smartphone can also be laid flat for projection. Keystone correction is also supported.

Ulefone installs the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 as the SoC, which is accompanied by 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The latter can be expanded thanks to three card slots, even when using two SIM cards. uSmart products such as an endoscope, which is available via Amazon, can be used. In addition to a large flashlight, a night vision camera is also on board. Lastly, the battery has a massive capacity of 25,500 mAh, or 98,658 Wh, which is coincidentally suitable for most airlines in view of the widespread 27,000 mAh limit. It can be charged with 66 watts and doubles as a power bank with a charging output of 10 watts.
