The Ulefone Power Armor 14 Pro is the latest flagship smartphone from Ulefone and is now available worldwide.
The phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 and has an extended 10000mAh battery.
Models/Versions
There are two models in the Power Armor 14 range.
Theres the Power Armor 14 and the Power Armor 14 Pro.
Predictably, the base model features lower specs, mainly the CPU and the available capacity.
The Power Armor 14 Pro model were looking at here comes in just one capacity.
That capacity is 128GB with 6GB of RAM.
It can fast-charge at up to 18W over USB-C and at 15W wirelessly.
It also supports reverse wireless charging.
The large battery provides enough charge for 540 hours of standby time or 54 hours of call time.
10 minutes of charging provides enough charge for two hours of call time.
Its enough to get some battery quickly.
Still, if you want to refill an empty battery, youll likely have to charge it overnight.
Screen
The Power Armor 14 Pro has a 6.52-inch screen with a resolution of 720 x 1600.
While the resolution is low, that will help save on battery life.
It is a multi-touch LCD display that resists fingerprints thanks to an oleophobic coating.
Cameras
The Ulefone Power Armor 14 Pro has a dual rear camera set up.
However, it is advertised as a triple camera setup.
The primary wide-angle camera has a 20MP, 1/2.78-inch sensor.
Theres also a 2MP macro camera.
The front camera has a 16MP resolution.
Video can be recorded at 1080p30 only on the front or back cameras.
The cameras are acceptable but not particularly strong.
The inclusion of a Macro camera may be helpful when in the field.
However, a periscope telephoto with a reasonable zoom level would have been a substantial addition.
Software/OS
The Ulefone Power Armor 14 Pro runs Android 12.

Improvements Over Previous Generations
Interestingly, there have essentially been no improvements since the previous generation.
The exceptions are the drop resistance and the size and weight of the phone.
The situation gets slightly stranger, though, as there has actually been a broad range of down-grades.
Ultimately, performance isnt the goal of this flagship.
