What customers don't like about Unihertz Tank 2 (22GB + 512GB)

  • Camera quality can be subpar in standard lighting with drab colors

Verdict

The Unihertz Tank 2 is an ultra-durable, IP68-rated rugged smartphone powered by a Helio G99 Octa-Core processor, featuring a massive 22GB RAM (12GB physical plus 10GB virtual) and 512GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD). Its primary pros are the unique integrated laser projector (40 lumens), an enormous 15,500mAh battery with 66W fast charging and reverse charging capability, and a versatile 1200-lumen dual-tone camping/emergency light system. The camera system includes a 108MP main, a 64MP night vision, and a 16MP wide-angle lens. The main cons are its considerable bulk and weight (over 500g), moderate performance that isn't ideal for all demanding tasks, a standard LCD display (not OLED), and the lack of 5G connectivity.
