Ulefone Armor 28 Ultra Thermal unboxing

09 February 2025
This is not your average tough phone — it packs both a thermal camera and an infrared "see-in-the-dark" camera!

    Is this another one of those concept devices like that ulefone 23 ultra that you guys tested hands on, but never made it to the markets?

      I like the clock on the back of the phone. Very convenient.

        utter trash

          [deleted post]First of all, its a rugged phone, they're not really supposed to look good although i kinda like the design imo.
          Second of all, sometimes its not poor people who want the phone, sometimes those people have enough money.

            To be fair , as I read som saying if it was LCD is betterment

            Is a bit divided for me

            Oled means we have higher brightness and crisp quality but it also is a vulnerable and expensive panel

            Lcd is better at ultra phone stuff because it can recover from burn damage. That's like most important part for ultra phons.

            Yes screen stuff like eye sensitivity I understand
            But mainly burn resistance is important cause oleds don't recover from this.

            I only state this from a ultra phone perspective.
            That is , a phone that's built for extreme.

              Hello Nokia 9 PureView

              🤣

                All these powerful phones are made by the best brands, but these phones still don't work in horror movies and series!🤣

                  If it didn't have OLED I would consider buying it.

                    Why OLED screen?
                    All other ulefones have IPS LCD too so why put the cheap mediocre OLED screen on this masterpiece of a fine?
                    You ruined it with the OLED.
                    Nobody in their right mind would buy OLED phone nowadays.
                    OLED is only for naive fools who don't know any better.
                    Mark these words...

                      Completely destroys S25 Ultra, this is what you call a smartphone 😜 if that was 1000 euros would be no brainer.

                        Raw option for every single camera, good tele lens and good processing is what I would need it to have for me to buy it, tho I love IR, design etc, I still miss a lot more features in it...
                        Hope they get better and out some hi end of that kind.

                          I know also about iiif150 with some similar specs, but having new hw definitely costs a lot, specially that thermal camera, which alone can be found for 800 euro with similar specs, no wonder it's not cheap, but considering hw, it actually is in a way.
                          As I mentioned, there are similar phones out there for way less, sacrificing some new stuff of course.
                          What stays the same and different from likes of samsung is 1. Class design, fresh and exciting, made to offend bit also to not be boring.
                          This is what I miss from samsung lately...

                            I removed IR filter on samsung note3 myself, sacrificed AF tho, it was worth the experience of IR photography, be it in daylight or at night.
                            IR removed sensors boost light intake by 150% and give a photographers more options for shooting, tho some "unnamed" brand couldn't hold on to it.
                            I'm also interested in thermal sensor there, is it 20fps or 30fps, wish it was latter one, but resolution is definitely great.
                            Wish I see IR cameras in hi end phones soon, so I hope for unlimited iso, but it's nowhere to be seen...

                              CamoGeko-XDA, 09 Feb 2025This isn't a phone, it's a niche tool. Why even c... moreErm yes it is a phone and S25 Ultra selling by the thousands?? So what who cares?? I doubt it's even comparing itself to anything Samsung doubt they even care or expect to sell the same as Samsung. I couldn't care less how popular something is or isn't what matters to me is quality and if I like it or not

                                [deleted post]So something useful is now outdated?

                                  Really good job Ulefone. Keep going and thanks lot

                                    DarlingYext, 09 Feb 2025Yes it is, and after snapping that picture it will look muc... moreI mean because editor made a mistake in article

                                      vik457, 09 Feb 2025The phone against which infrared camera is compared is a vi... moreYes it is, and after snapping that picture it will look much better and will have colors as well obviously, however that night vision feature is still an awesome feature for sure.

                                        "However, Ulefone's Ultra has a 1-inch type main camera and comes with 1TB of storage, which are two things its more popular rival lacks."

                                        Plus MicroSD card support, a headphone jack, a display on the back for better selfies, actual fast wired and wireless charging, an accessory connector for additional useful features, and actual useful "extras" in the box, like an ultra fast charging brick that could be good for other gadgets as well.
