    @GSMA staff time you plan update of Phone Finder section for phones with thermal imaging cameras

      Imagine paying €1,400 for a Ulefone

      Anyways, THIS is what your dream phone costs. IP68/69K, big battery, tough build, headphone jack, flagship processor, many latest bells and whistles like Wi-Fi 7, latest USB-C with, just everything you could name of, more functional cameras, etc. Now, do you wanna downsize to make it cost the way you wanted?

        Updates, 11 Feb 2025>> Like who cares??? Like everyone with common sense... moreIf we humans can accept 1 or 2 years of warranty we can accept 2-3 years of OS updates.
        If your phone dies week after your warranty goes off what you do???
        Fix it for same price as a new phone or lets say 80% of costs or buy new phone???
        More years of updates does not means more years phone will work.
        If you are unlucky even Iphone 16 pro max can died after 2 years of use.
        If youa re lucky one even something old fashionable as Nokia 105 or Xiaomi 14C can last 10 years without any isssues.
        But rather will have more years of warranty a proof that company is quality one than 5-10 or even 100 years of OS support.
        If your phone dies immediately after warranty your OS support is meaningles.
        If your warranty will last for example 10 years you know you bought quality product not a china made fake disguuised as quality brand such as Apple or Samsung etc.

          I need power and good cameras which is why I DON'T consider Samsung's series with midrange cameras.😂

Unless you definitely need the power and the cameras, why buy an S series? I definitely don't. I don't game on my phone, I have a rig at home that can play any game I wamt it to. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. For example: on my family. Or that rig, when the time comes.

              Orilaveroth, 11 Feb 2025Well it is understandable - you want to sell it. Why on ... moreThat isn't a xiaomi phone, that's vivo x200 pro

                64MP in so-called 'night vision camera' - is absurdity. Too many MP means too small pixel size, which means very poor sensitivity: this camera is almost blind without IR-leds. The real night vision cameras have 1-3 MP on big sensors (at least 1''), which provides large pixel size - 8µm and larger, so that they can clearly see in moonless night. Don't be fooled by marketers.

                  Well it is understandable - you want to sell it.

                  Why on comparison shot - you let Xiaomi use auto brightness in pitch dark?

                  Should screen be as bright as on ulephone - we could see an acceptable picture.
                  Thought night vision is better in amount of details.

And while it will not be my next phone, there will be a good number of buyers, I'm using an Amor phone on my motorcycle tours as a navigation device and other things in Asia and Central Asia where rugged phones are needed. But maybe I missed the point you tried to address, like that it is not a USA manufactured phone.

                      Phone with updates lasting less than 3 years is unacceptable these days.
                      Or that phone is considered rugged camera.
                      Vast majority of Chinese phones like Ulefone have problem with delivering updates.

                          this is the 1Tb high performance Durable Flagship for people at the Field,
                          well done.

                          appreciated camera, microscope, thermal function there.
                          and it's 10,000mah and it's ruggedness.

                          can this set up get longer warranty option too?

I'm happy for you that you are enjoying your S25 Ultra, but please don't view things the way you just did. Just because one can afford something, doesn't mean they actually want it. I for example have plenty of devices that if I sold I could easily buy the 1TB variant of the S25 Ultra, but I simply do not want that phone at all.

                                For me it's still just too small, I've already held it next to my vivo X Note, and naah it ain't it.

                                        Updates, 10 Feb 2025Software updates how long? Two weeks or only 48 hrs? Like who cares???
                                        Even with Samsung, Google or Apple you get one year maybe two years of warranty.
                                        1-2 years old phone but dead cost same to repair like brand new.
                                        So if your warranty goes off and accident happens you buy rather new phone than fix your old for a price of new device.
                                        I am i right???
                                        One, two or threee years of updates is more than enough for everyone regardless of a brand or untill as long as companies stick to give 1 year of warranty or up to 2 in EU region.
