Ulefone this week introduced its new high-end shockproof and waterproof smartphone. Dubbed the Rugger Armor 6, the ruggized phone combines an IP68-rated chassis, a big show, numerous special-purpose sensors, and a high-performance SoC. Clearly keying in on a certain market segment for the new phone, the Armor 6 may also ship with numerous pre-loaded applications which can be intended to become beneficial during traveling or simply in various harsh locales.
Broadly speaking, most rugged smartphones need to make trade-offs to attain their design and style goals, like using an inelegant chassis, mediocre hardware inside, or rather ordinary displays. Although the basic reasons behind such style choices are a lot more or significantly less obvious (e.g., keep their BOM fees and heat soak in verify), there are numerous people who favor to have a rugged smartphone with out making quite so many compromises. The Ulefone Armor 6 in turn is seeking to carve out a niche for itself in that marketplace by providing a rugged design with above-average hardware.
On the outdoors, the Armor six features a a rather decent searching chassis featuring a die cast frame covered with protective rubber and red or grey metallic inlays. The enclosure is rated to handle drops from 1.2 meters, submersion into water (up to 1.five meters for up to 60 minutes), thermal shocks, corrosive environments, and so on. Meanwhile, framing a 6.2-inch 2246×1080 LCD display protected using Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5, the Armor 6 is usually pretty huge and heavy: it is 160 mm tall, 13.three mm thick, and weighs 228 grams. All of which makes the Armor six a whole lot larger than normal consumer smartphones, but is relatively typical for this market segment.
Moving on to the insides of the Ulefone Armor six. The smartphone is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P60 SoC, a eight-core design with quad A73 and quad A53 Arm cores also as Aem's Mali-G72MP3 GPU. The SoC is paired with six GB of DRAM and 128 GB of NAND flash storage. Several current ruggedized smartphones have been based on less expensive SoCs with low-power Cortex-A53 CPU cores, so the Armor 6 is notable for its overall performance possible. Because it appears, Ulefone Armor 7 decided not to cut corners and utilized a fairly high-performance SoC with Cortex-A73 cores to be able to make sure that owners in the handset can use all applications they need to using a comfy level of overall performance.
