Ulefone Armor Mini 20T Pro review

Clean Android 14

The Ulefone Armor Mini 20T Pro comes with Android 14 out of the box. It is advertised as a pure version of Android, but that is not really the case. It offers a clutter-free Ulefone launcher that is not that far from what you'd get with the vanilla 14, though.

The software indeed looks a lot like the vanilla Android, except for the app icons. Besides those, the home screen, lock screen, notification shade, and the recent apps menu resemble those of the stock Android.

The app package is pretty straightforward. The default Android apps are pre-installed, so you have a gallery, a media player, and a file manager. There is also an FM radio app by Ulefone, Remote Control for the IR blaster, a FLIR gallery, and a Toolbox app.

The FM radio doesn't require a wired headset to work - the phone has an integrated FM antenna inside.

The Outdoor Toolbox contains some useful features like compass, level, barometer, siren, noise meter, etc.

The Camping Light app allows you to configure the octagon LED flash by your liking or activate SOS signal.

The RedBlue Police Light app is self-explanatory, it allows you to turn on/off red-blue, or red, or blue lights, either blinking or always-on. It also supports a bunch of pre-installed sirens.

Performance and benchmarks

The Ulefone Armor Mini 20T Pro utilizes the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G chipset. It is a good SoC for mid-range purposes and is fabricated on the 6nm manufacturing process from TSMC. The chipset packs an octa-core CPU with two high-performance Cortex-A76 cores ticking at 2.4GHz and six energy-efficient Corext-A55 cores working at 2.0GHz.

There is a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.

The Armor Mini 20T Pro is available in only one memory configuration - 8GB LPDDR4X RAM with 256GB UFS 2.2 storage. A microSD memory expansion is available via a hybrid-SIM slot.

Let's see some benchmark scores now.

Quite expectedly, the phone scores in line with the budget mid-range phones nowadays and while its CPU performance is adequate, the graphics performance is at a basic level.

The throttling test revealed excellent sustained performance with 84% for CPU and 99% for GPU scores on the stress tests.

The Ulefone Armor Mini 20T Pro works fine for its industrial-oriented purposes but is no gaming machine for sure. There is some lag and stutter, longer than expected app loading times, too. Overall - an expectedly mediocre performance.
