Chinese manufacturer Ulefone has launched the Armor 25T Pro, a rugged 5G smartphone that brings thermal imaging and night vision capabilities to the sub-$300 price range. This device aims to blend durability with advanced sensing technology, all at a surprisingly accessible price point.
Key features of the Armor 25T Pro include:
- ThermoVue thermal sensor (160 x 120 pixels, 25Hz refresh rate)
- 64MP OMNIVISION OV64B infrared night vision camera
- MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G SoC
- Up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage
- 6.78-inch FHD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate
- 6500mAh battery with 33W fast charging and 30W wireless charging
- Android 14
- IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810H durability ratings
- Kevlar-textured back cover
The thermal imaging capabilities are particularly noteworthy, with Ulefone suggesting uses ranging from leak detection to building inspections. A dedicated ThermoVue app allows users to capture thermal images and videos easily.
The night vision camera, enhanced by Ulefone’s NightElf Ultra 3.0 algorithm, promises clear low-light imaging for security or wildlife observation.
Despite its rugged build and advanced sensors, Ulefone claims the Armor 25T Pro maintains a slim and lightweight profile. The device is currently available on AliExpress for $299.99, a significant 40% discount from its $499.99 MSRP.
This combination of durability, advanced imaging capabilities, and an aggressive price point could make the Armor 25T Pro an intriguing option for users in need of a robust, feature-rich smartphone.
