Users of rugged Android phones might find this
upcoming mini device from Ulefone of interest. Ulefone has been developing a
mini version of the popular Ulefone Armor 2 smartphone. The current Ulefone
Armor handset is am IP68 device running a Mediatek Helio P25 chipset, 6GB RAM
and a good sized 4700mAh battery.
The phone also has a large 5-inch touch screen up
front, but this won’t be making an appearance on the Chinese brands upcoming
Armor device. The phone looks a lot like the current mini rugged
device form No.1 and if the Armor mini comes with similar hardware we expect to
see a 2.4inch qVGA panel up front, basic cameras but large 4800mAh battery
pack.
If Ulefone is looking at this type of specification
for their Armor Mini then pricing should be relatively low, considerably less
than US$ 50. While the phone is likely to be durable and cheap, we do wonder if
there is much of a market for such a low-tech smartphone in todays market.
