Add DeviceSpecifications as a preferred source on GoogleUlefone is making a bold statement in the rugged mobile market with the official release of its large-scale Android 15 OTA update - an initiative that spans more than 20 device models and sets a new standard for long-term software support in the rugged tech sector.
By extending Android 15 to devices dating back to 2023, the company is directly challenging the industry’s reputation for short-lived software lifecycles. Instead of prioritizing only its newest flagships, Ulefone is pushing the update across its entire ecosystem, reinforcing its commitment to durability not just in hardware, but in software longevity as well.
Unlike brands that restrict major OS updates to premium models, Ulefone is democratizing access to Android 15. The update is already live and rolling out in phases, ensuring users can begin upgrading immediately.

The inclusion of the Armor 21, Armor 22, and Armor 24 stands out as a rare move in the rugged device category, where older models often receive minimal software attention. Ulefone’s engineering team emphasized the technical challenges of adapting Android 15 to 2023 hardware but framed the effort as part of its mission to deliver "digitally resilient" devices. By updating these models, Ulefone effectively extends their lifespan and enhances their value -offering users improved performance, modern security, and a refreshed interface without requiring new hardware.The update focuses on three major pillars:
- Enhanced Performance - faster app launches, reduced background power consumption, and optimizations tailored for high-capacity batteries, especially in the Armor 24 and Armor 27 series
- Privacy & Safety - more granular permission controls, the latest security patches, reinforced protection for users operating in remote or high-risk environments
- Modern Interface - a cleaner, more intuitive UI, improved multitasking, and a smoother experience comparable to mainstream flagships
