  • Good performance for the price, utilizing the capable MediaTek Helio G99 processor.
  • Large, high-quality 6.58-inch Full HD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
  • Useful additional features such as a night vision camera with IR LEDs, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an IR blaster (remote control functionality), and expandable storage (up to 2TB).

What we don't like about Ulefone Armor 17 Pro (8GB + 256GB)

  • The 108MP camera is considered by some users to be a marketing gimmick, not significantly outperforming lower-megapixel cameras in practice due to a small sensor and software issues like high noise when zooming.
  • Software can have bugs, random reboots, and app crashes, with some users noting a need for better optimization and faster OS updates from Ulefone.
  • Reliability issues with the fingerprint sensor were mentioned by some users, with the component failing over time.
  • The phone is relatively heavy compared to standard smartphones due to its rugged build.
  • No 5G connectivity is a significant drawback for some users.
  • Not compatible with some US carriers like AT&T, Cricket, or Verizon.
  • The default video player has codec issues, struggling with certain file types.
  • Camera can produce a slight yellowish hue in indoor photos.

Verdict

The Ulefone Armor 17 Pro is a rugged smartphone featuring a 6.58-inch 120Hz Full HD+ display protected by Gorilla Glass 5, powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 processor and equipped with 8GB of RAM (expandable to 13GB virtually) and 256GB of internal storage (expandable up to 2TB via microSD). A key characteristic is its durable, IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810G certified build, offering water, dust, and shock resistance, alongside a versatile 108MP main camera system with an 8MP night vision lens. Main pros include its solid performance for the price point, useful night vision camera, 66W wired and 15W wireless charging support, and practical magnetic attachment system for accessories. However, cons include a relatively modest 5380mAh battery capacity for a rugged phone, the lack of 5G connectivity, and a Widevine L3 certification that limits streaming services like Netflix to 480p resolution.
