Ulefone is offering a new very compact smartphone at a good price. The phone is particularly tough and should stand up to rough environmental conditions.
Attentive readers will probably recognize the Armor Mini 20 from Ulefone, thanks to the Pro variant being available already for some time. Now the manufacturer is adding the standard model to the lineup. The Ulefone Armor Mini 20 is now available for purchase on AliExpress for $249. At this price point, there are some reductions in functionality relative to the Pro, specifically with regard to the mobile network capabilities.
The smartphone sports the MediaTek Helio G99, which is suitable for most daily tasks, but does not support 5G. The physical 8GB RAM is suitably large, as is the internal storage of 256GB. The storage can be expanded, but this will block one of the two SIM card slots.
The 300 gram smartphone is 25 millimeters thick and possesses a relatively handy 4.7-inch display with a 720 x 1600 resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. There is a 32-megapixel main camera with an integrated night vision camera. Furthermore, there is a brighter LED on the back near the cameras, and blue and red warning lights can also be activated. The 6200-mAh battery can be charged with 33 watts or wirelessly with 15 watts. It is IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certified. An IR blaster can be used to control older household appliances.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Ben's fascination with technology traces a long history: from disassembling his grandmother's automatic card shuffler as a kid, through installing his first GPU as an adolescent, to writing code for a living as an adult. All along the way the only thing that could distract him from the gizmos was the opportunity to talk about them, so no one is surprised to find him writing articles on tech, too. He tends toward PC components, mobile gaming systems, and SBCs, but anything that beeps or boops has been known to activate the LEDs behind his eyes.
