Ulefone Power Armor X11: New rugged smartphone arrives with Android 13, sub-6-inch display and large battery for US$150

Ulefone has unveiled the Power Armor X11, a cheaper alternative to the Power Armor X11 Pro. As such, the former has a reduced feature set compared to the latter, but it retains IP68 and IP69K certification. The Power Armor X11 also conforms to the MIL-STD-810H standard, although this is not independently verified like IP ratings. Nonetheless, the smartphone should be more protected against dust and water ingress than conventional smartphones.

Moreover, Ulefone has designed the Power Armor X11 to withstand drops onto hard surfaces. According to the company, it has equipped the smartphone with an 8,150 mAh battery, which powers a MediaTek Helio A22 chipset, 4 GB of RAM and a 5.45-inch display. For reference, the IPS display operates at 720p, 60 Hz and can be used while wearing gloves. For some reason, Ulefone has only included 32 GB of storage, which can be expanded with up to a 256 GB MicroSD card.

Furthermore, Ulefone has included a 16 MP rear-facing camera (Samsung S5K2P7), an unspecified depth sensor and a 5 MP front-facing camera (GalaxyCore GC5035). Elsewhere, the 330 g and 158.2 x 76.7 x 19.3 mm handset comes with Android 13; there is no guarantee of future major Android updates, though. The Power Armor X11 is orderable for US$149.99 in just one memory configuration and colour option. Please see Ulefone's website for more details.
