Big screen, rugged phone with a long battery life.
After breaking two Samsung Notes in 4 days I didn't feel like spending another $800 on a phone, and I needed one quickly. I'd considered buying a Ulefone before, but now I didn't have a choice. My regret is not getting one sooner. Second day I had it fell of a work platform, I tried to catch it with my foot and instead kicked it off the work platform onto a pile of slag and metal scraps 15 feet below me. I couldn't even find a scratch on the phone. A few weeks later I went hiking with a bunch of Apple people and left my charger behind. After laughing when my phone slid off a boulder and into a river, my phone became the one used for GPS check / reception check / call home because everyone else had a dead battery. It worked great the whole trip, and I still had battery when I made it home 3 days later. I threw it on a wireless charger and I swear it was fully charged in less than three hours. *Don't quote me on that, I may have fallen asleep for a bit, but seriously this thing charges so quickly I haven't worried about my battery life at all. I'm tempted to buy a second one, but I don't think this one is going to die. I also enjoy not having the same phone everyone else does. A year from now people still won't know if my phone was just released or if it's been on the market for years.

Solid phone, should last
I received the phone yesterday and spent some time getting it setup and running through everything. I've outlined some points below but overall I would say its a solid phone with regards to the build and the software. Up front, my service is AT&T and I didn't have any trouble popping my old SIM in and having full functionality (Voice and Data) on the network.Android 9: The Armor 6E runs on an older Android OS so it's a little behind. Coming from a phone that was running the latest version took a little getting used to. That being said, I haven't encountered any issues with the older OS regarding functionality or security patches.Weight: It is on the heavy side so just know that. The phone is designed for functionality and durability, not trendiness. It has a solid battery that will get you through a full day of heavy use without charging. Heavy use being loads of streaming, gaming, video calling. Anything less and you will likely be able to get multiple days use on a single charge.Buttons: Some people have commented about the button locations. I would say that the locations are fine, pretty standard. The thing that I've noticed about them is that there is very little resistance to them being depressed. This can cause the power/screen-lock and volume buttons to be pressed accidentally.Camera: I don't take a lot of pictures but from the testing I've done, the camera works and the pictures are quality for me. I'm not a photographer but the pictures this phone produces I would be willing to have printed and posted.Biometrics: The fingerprint reader is a bit small and may not be the most accurate but I haven't had much issue with it. It will usually unlock on the second attempt if not the first. The face recognition is really good though. It took a couple seconds to setup and it flawlessly unlocks my phone when I need it to.SD Card: Loaded the SD card into the phone and was able to designate it as expanded internal storage (other option is for removeable storage) which allowed for more dedicated internal memory. If you plan on removing the SD card frequently you will want to configure it for removable. Doing this though will only allow for things like pictures and files to be stored on the SD Card.Launcher: I loaded in the Microsoft Launcher and it works great. I haven't tested any other launchers so I can't comment on their reliability/functionality. I came from a Windows phone, 2 phones ago, and have always just stuck with this launcher and it works great. Any OS designs I didn't like with the Android 9 layout were essentially overwritten by the MS Launcher.Additional Features: There are a bunch of additional features built into this phone that I think are really great, depending on what you use it for. There's a Game Mode where you can identify all the games loaded onto the phone and when running them through the app you can disable all other distractions. Deep Clean allows you to close all your apps and clear the RAM that was being utilized. Underwater Mode disables the touch screen and changes the functions of the buttons for improved use. Tool Bag is a shortcut to a slew of tools that are really useful for different situations (hanging pictures, gradient, height measurement, compass, and others).Respond if you have specific questions and I'll attempt to answer. All in all, I would recommend this phone at this point. I will update as things progress.

Definitely worth purchasing
Overall the phone is really good. It does have some shortcomings but hey in this price range I think it's excellent.All the shortcomings are really due to somewhat unpolished software rather than hardware itself.Fingerprint reader is hit and miss situation but it works okay. I didn't try face recognition because my work administration doesn't allow it to use as a security feature. It is dual SIM dual LTE hose T-Mobile and AT&t sims are fully recognized and enabled for Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE calling.Camera is really good I wouldn't say necessarily it's excellent but it's really really good.Better your life of course in stellar from 6 a.m. until midnight I put it on the charger with about 50% left. Speaker does have some distortion on high volume so I guess the matter is finding appropriate ringtone. Otherwise notifications are really loud.As previously mentioned shortcomings in the software are mostly about user interface and like all some basic features normally available in Android pie. Mostly dark mode. Thing that I love about the phone is dead will allow you to use dual SIM and SD card hack. Google pay is working well also.Processor is very snappy and the phone has a option of some high performance mode and game mode which I neither have tried.For a regular day-to-day use especially in a business environment this phone hits all the sweet spots.On top of it it's looks and feels truly rugged and it's big. It is approximately size of Galaxy note 9 but double the thickness and some extra weight.

Camera App disappeared
Phone came in timely manner, underwater function works great. No water contamination on the camera lens (I noticed this from a Sony underwater phone) BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAMERA APP DISAPPEARED AND I AM NOT ABLE TO USE IT...AND OTHER APP THAT USE THE CAMERA ARE DELAYED AND ACTING STRANGE, NOT SURE IF THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE LAUNCHER, MAYBE I NEED TO INSTALL A NEW ONE.
