Has anyone got one of these?

Ulefone Armour X7 2020 Android 10

Looking to get something else to take out on the bike.
Will only be needed for email, pairing with my GPS for live track and probably a bit of Faceache and Instaspam whilst out on the trails.

I like the fact that its IP68 and has a decent IK rating too - should be fairly sturdy.

Android 10 for £85 seems like a bargain too.

I bought an Armour 5 after decent reviews on here.  It was shit, and that had a bigger battery, more RAM and more ROM.  It was slow, had a crappy camera and for a 5000mAh battery it barely lasted a day.

I'd expect this to be an order of magnitude worse.

I sent it back to Amazon and got a Nokia 7.1.  I likes that until an update bricked it.  Now on a Moto G7 Plus, which is also good.

Thanks for the reply.
Might have a rethink and see what else is about.

I have a 6e it's big, heavy, could be used to club baby seals, generally does everything I need.

Battery lasts ages, compass only works when moving,

Quite happy with it, came from a Sony so was a step down but no issues for me

For £100 I just got the x7 pro, same phone but more ram and rom. Ive only had it a few days but so far I'm happy, after a days use the battery hasn't gone below 77%, its like lightening compared to the motorola g34g I was using. It feels pretty robust and although it is a bit bigger it doesn't need a case. It also has a magnetic compass. Not tried the camera yet but its not a priority for me, I think it is the weak point tho.
I brought it as a stopgap until I could find one that met all my criteria (pretty much the above) but on first impressions I like it and i'll not be looking for anything else.

Thanks all.
Just looked and I can get the X7 Pro for £95.
As I said it will only be for when out on the bike as don't want to wreck my normal phone.

X7 Pro arrived today.
Will have a play over the next few days and see what it's like.

So thought I'd do an update.
Been using the X7 Pro for a couple of months now.
Use it when out riding with my Lezyne live tracking and OS maps app no problem - 2-3hour ride and probably use between 25-35% depending if I take photos too.
It'll happy go all day with mobile data on and the occasional Facebook & Chrome use.
It's definitely rugged and we'll protected - can off with it in my pocket - screen is still intact and I have a phone sized bruise on my thigh....
Also been dropped a couple of times fumbling with gloves.
Camera isn't too bad - capable of taking decent snaps if you play with the settings.
Good enough to photo & video my recent coaching sessions.
Overall for the money I think it's a decent phone.

Have Power 5, loving the fact that with all my constant GPS, sync and internet on 18h per day I'm charging it once every 7-10 days...

Weight a bit, true, but I bought it mainly for this monstrous battery life, so not bothered.

It is a bit less smart than Mi4 Pro but I'm not bothered again.

Cheers!
I.

I'm on an X7 pro now.  It is a bit of a brick but works well.  And it doesn't matter if I drop it, which I have more than once.  Or if the kids drool/lick/spill water on it..

I'm happy for £100.

I bought a batch of 5s for some work stuff where they needed to stand up to abuse and they were much better than I expected for the price.

Off the back of it I bought myself a rugged phone for personal use but I went for a blackview 9800 pro.. because why wouldn't you want to take predator style thermal pics with your phone 🙂
