Ulefone Armor 30 Pro

The Ulefone Armor 30 Pro features a rugged build with an IP68 ingress protection rating, confirming its waterproof capability for use in demanding environments. It does not support a folding form factor, instead presenting a fixed body that measures 181.3 mm in height, 84.9 mm in width, and 21.2 mm in thickness, with a total volume of 326.318244 cm³. At 509 g, it carries a substantial weight consistent with its reinforced construction.

The Armor 30 Pro uses an IPS LCD panel measuring 6.95″, delivering a resolution of 1080 x 2460 px at a pixel density of 387 ppi, with a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother on-screen motion. The display is a touchscreen protected by Gorilla Glass 5, offering resistance against scratches and accidental impacts. A secondary screen with a resolution of 412 x 960 px is also present, while HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Always-On Display are not supported.

The Armor 30 Pro is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, built on a 4 nm process with 6,200 million transistors and an octa-core CPU configuration running at 4 x 2.5 GHz and 4 x 2 GHz across 8 threads, making use of both big.LITTLE and HMP technologies. It comes with 16 GB of DDR5 RAM at 6,400 MHz — the maximum supported — alongside 512 GB of internal storage and external memory expansion up to 2,000 GB. Graphics are handled by the integrated Mali G615 MC2 GPU clocked at 1,047 MHz, supporting DirectX 12 and a single display output. Integrated LTE is present on the SoC, and Geekbench 6 scores are recorded at 1,026 for single-core and 2,932 for multi-core performance, with full 64-bit support across the platform.

The Armor 30 Pro carries a triple rear camera system with sensors at 64 MP, 50 MP, and 50 MP, paired with apertures of f/1.79, f/1.95, and f/2.2 respectively, all using CMOS sensors without back-illumination. Video recording reaches up to 2160p at 30 fps, with support for slow-motion recording, though HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. Autofocus options include phase-detection, continuous autofocus during video, and touch autofocus, while laser autofocus is absent, and there is no optical image stabilization or optical zoom. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, with burst mode, HDR, panorama, and timelapse rounding out the shooting modes, though manual shutter speed and RAW capture are not supported. The two rear flash LEDs are standard single-tone units, with no dual-tone or RGB flash. On the front, a 32 MP single-lens camera sits behind an f/2.45 aperture without an under-display placement, a front flash, or a secondary lens, and 3D photo and video capabilities are not present.

The Armor 30 Pro runs Android 14, a free and open-source platform that supports multi-user operation, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, widgets, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Privacy features are broad, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not included. Customization options extend to theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while notification controls and customizable notifications are both present; focus modes and app offloading are not supported. Additional capabilities include on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, live text selection from images, full-page scrolling screenshots, a media picker, battery health check, child lock, sharing intents, and device position tracking. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not available, and Wi-Fi password sharing and Quick Start are also absent.

The Armor 30 Pro houses a 12,800 mAh rechargeable battery with a built-in level indicator, and a charger is included in the box. It supports 66W fast wired charging, though wireless charging is not available. The battery is non-removable and cannot be swapped out by the user.

The Armor 30 Pro includes stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, along with a built-in radio. On the wireless audio side, aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC are all absent, meaning no high-resolution or enhanced Bluetooth audio codecs are supported.

The Armor 30 Pro supports 5G connectivity with a dual-SIM cellular module, download and upload speeds of 3,270 Mbit/s, and Wi-Fi coverage across Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6, and Wi-Fi 6E standards. Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC are both present, and the device uses a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, with an external memory slot for storage expansion. Sensors on board include a fingerprint scanner, GPS with Galileo support, gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, barometer, and an infrared sensor, covering a broad range of positioning and environmental inputs. A heart rate monitor, ANT+, motion tracking, optical tracking, 3D facial recognition, and an iris scanner are not included, nor is HDMI output, a built-in projector, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, DLNA certification, or a stylus.

The Armor 30 Pro includes a video light for illumination during video recording, while its display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
