Just as the Chinese manufacturer Ulefone has managed to provide extra resistance to its “Premium” terminals, this type of specification is also present in its line of more affordable phones. This time it is time to analyze one of the ones that currently offers the best price-performance ratio and its name is none other than Ulefone Armor X5 .

Ulefone Armor X5 is a mid-range phone that stands out for its robust design that allows it to withstand all kinds of extreme temperature conditions as well as drops and prolonged contact with water. Inside, an eight-core processor, 3 GB of RAM, a 5000 mAh battery and a double rear camera allow it to obtain an acceptable performance for modern times.

Reinforced edge design

Ulefone Armor X5 can withstand any extreme situation

The aesthetic style chosen by this manufacturer for its creations is nothing new, and it is that with the intention of maintaining a resistance superior to any standard telephone, its general dimensions are increased (15.8 x 7.7 x 1.4 cm) and its long battery life also makes it heavier than usual (236 grams).

With a black commercialization that combines details in red, orange or all black along its lateral edges , a series of reinforcements can be seen throughout its entire frame to increase resistance to the typical blows or falls that in other phones would cause damage, especially on the four ends where their surface protrudes.

In official terms of resistance, the highest certification has been achieved , IP68 / IP69K, which ensures a total of 30 minutes of immersion in 1.5 meters of water, 24 hours of submission in 1 meter of concrete and drops of up to 1 , 2 meters without risks. It also passes the strict MIL-STD-810G military certification, allowing it to survive multiple tests of extreme temperature, humidity, mold, mist and salt corrosion, explosive gas, trigger vibration, and more. In other words, it can be taken with you on any outdoor adventure no matter how extreme it is.

Ulefone Armor X5 has a long battery life

In the Ulefone Armor X5 it is possible to find a 5.5-inch screen that includes an 18: 9 aspect ratio for a more expanded display when enjoying reading an article or browsing social networks. Its native resolution is HD +, that is 1440 x 720 pixels, while promising original color reproduction with vivid and high color saturation.

Internally, the Smartphone employs an eight-core MediaTek MT6763 processor for a fast and fluid handling experience, further combined with 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage that can be expanded via a microSD card. Its factory operating system is Android 9.0.

Finally, the Smartphone does exceed the average when it comes to battery life, since its 5000 mAh Lithium-Ion unit promises a total of 440 hours of standby time and 25 hours of continuous talk time before requiring a recharge. Precisely the latter also ensures improvements through fast charging technology with 5V2A support to reach 100% in approximately 2.5 hours.

Cameras, connectivity and comparison

Ulefone Armor X5 covers its ports to prevent water access

To finish with the technical benefits of the phone, it should be noted that the phone has a 5 megapixel front camera for seflies with support for the facial unlocking function, while behind there is a double 13 megapixel sensor (Sony IMX214) + 2 megapixels that makes it possible to take pictures even under water and its double LED flash promises good lighting in night shots.

Regarding its fingerprint sensor, it must be confirmed that it is not present and that is one of its most negative points in the analysis, while in its favor a customizable physical button has been added for the user to establish any action or quick access. In connections, the addition of NFC for fast wireless transmissions and support for mobile payments through Google Pay is also appreciated .

It is worth noting that this Smartphone is a step ahead of models such as Ulefone Armor X7 that we previously analyzed, because in its case its quad-core processor, 2 GB of RAM or its 16 GB of storage end up being too little for the Ulefone Armor X5, mid-range phone with IP68 / IP69K resistancecurrent needs of users. .
