Interesting. Thanks for your reviews. The unknown with all these phones to a UK buyer, is the reliability and customer service if they start to go wrong. The specifications look amazing but when you read the customer reviews there is always a couple of reviews that have had problems with the phone and not had good customer service afterwards. One reviewer had to post twice because the original review was deleted. Hmm.

@SurvivalSuperhero 10 ай бұрын

I have definitely seen the kind of reviews you are talking about, where people say they had a bad experience with customer service. But there's always at least a handful of bad reviews for any product. Maybe you would feel more comfortable getting a phone from a more widely known company, such as the Nokia XR20/XR21, Samsung XCover6 Pro, or the Cat S75?

Good video, however, I would add a mention or at least a graphic indicating what carriers they are compatible with. It seems #4 thru #1 are not compatible with the AT&T network. Realizing you can't put every worldwide carrier in your review it wold help to put something regarding what networks or types of networks these phone work on. Your top selections seem to be incompatible with a major carrier. Currently considering the Samsung phone.

I wonder why the Ulefone 18t is only Mil 810G when the ulefone 18 and ulefone 19 which are nearly identical physically other than the cameras are Mil 810H? I wonder if the Thermal imaging camera is more fragile . Just curious.

Yeah there own site states the 18T has IP68, IP69K, MIL-STD-810H on its spec page on the Belgium site. On the US site it has the G rating so now i am confused, maybe its an error on the Belgium site. @survival superhero did you hear anything from ulefone about it ?

I've purchased this phone and will return it. I got it for the night vision camera which is a lovely feature, but you can't record videos in night vision mode, which isn't cool, but you can get around that through recording your screen. The reasons why I'm returning it, is a poor battery life. It seems to be draining faster than my other phones who have a 5000mHA capacity. (The Doogee s99 one has 6000) There's no audio jack so I cannot connect a headset or external microphone to it. And third reason, you can't take pictures without unlocking the screen first. And that's a function I am so used to that i really want it. I thought that was a basic function of any phone tbh, but apparently not. So those are the reasons why I'll be returning the phone and will probably opt for a cheaper one with night vision. I bought it on eBay for 250€ plus shipping.

@jothegreek 5 ай бұрын

@theshark9225 5 ай бұрын

@WolfMimirMori Жыл бұрын

Personal experience and opinion: Avoid the Nokia XR20, it behaves quiet buggy and has a tendency to freeze up and act funny. It's just not well optimised what so ever. The build quality is also a bit questionable as the more "fragile" rubber pieces quickly started to unglue it self and risked being ripped apart, which forced me to get a case to protect said areas. Just not a good phone IMO.

the doogee s99 would be great but it isnt 5g. most networks only work on 5g so this phone would be worthless, the xcover pro is a probably the best but the lack of rapid charge is an awful choice in a build regardless of swappable batteries. all things considered it is probably the best option and most affordable with 5g and the closest to the sorely missed and cancelled active line.
