TL; DR
- The lesser-known Ulefone brand has released a phone with a 13,200 mAh battery.
- This could be for the phone with the largest battery in the race.
- Expect a promotional price of $ 299 for the device.
We have seen over the years lesser-known mobile brands offer devices with huge batteries ranging from 6,000 mAh to 11,000 mAh. Now it looks like a new device could be a contender for the smartphone with the largest battery.
The second Chinese brand Ulefone recently launched the Power Armor 13 (h / t: Gizmochina) and its main attraction is a 13,200 mAh battery. This displaces the BlackView BV9100 and its 13,000 mAh battery as possibly the phone with the largest battery.
In any case, the manufacturer expects five days of daily use when fully charged and 600 hours of standby time. Once the battery is empty, you can rely on wired charging at 33W or wireless charging at 15W. The phone also comes with 5W reverse wireless charging so you can charge phones and other compatible devices.
What else do you get
The Ulefone Power Armor 13 also has an IP68 / IP69K rating, a 6.81-inch FHD + LCD screen, a MediaTek Helio G95 4G processor, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of expandable storage. You also get a quad rear camera system that consists of a 48 MP main shooter, an 8 MP ultra-wide camera, and a pair of 2 MP sensors. A 16-megapixel camera in a punch hole processes selfies and video calls.
Other notable features include Android 11, NFC, distance measurements via infrared, endoscope support via a dedicated port, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a custom key.
The Ulefone Power Armor 13 currently has a promotional price of $ 299 through AliExpress and Banggood, with a regular offer price of $ 499. So you should keep this option in mind if several days of battery life are important to you.
With that in mind, we recommend that you take this and other second-brand brands with a pinch of salt. It’s not uncommon for lower tier manufacturers to easily experience misleading renderings, poor customer service, network compatibility issues, and / or few software updates. It’s also not uncommon for some lesser-known brands of devices to have malware pre-installed (although this has also affected major brands in the past).
