All its ports are protected with an IP rating and can withstand drops. Additionally, it is made with military-grade materials and has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The phone features a 6.58-inch IPS LCD panel with a waterdrop notch that enhances color, contrast and saturation and delivers a smooth experience with its 120Hz refresh rate. However, it does not support high brightness levels. The screen is protected by Corning glass.

The upgraded GPU also allows for casual gaming. The phone runs on Android 12 and has a clean user interface without a lot of bloated apps that can be customized to suit the user's needs.
For storage, the phone offers 128GB, which is plenty for most users, but there's also a 256GB option for those who need more space for their multimedia files. 12GB RAM further improves performance.
Camera
The Ulefone Power Armor 18T smartphone has a remarkable camera setup featuring a triple camera led by a 108MP primary lens that enhances daylight photography with better color, contrast and saturation as well as fine details.

A 5-megapixel macro lens allows for close-up photos, and a 5-megapixel camera with a thermal module allows users to see heat prints using the native camera app.
The phone can record up to 4K videos, but lacks proper video stabilization in its AI software. The 32MP selfie lens is a nice surprise, offering decent color rendition and making it easy to capture life's moments.
