Ulefone Armor 27T Pro Review

Overview

The Ulefone Armor 27T Pro is almost completely identical to the Armor 27 Pro. The main difference between the two devices is one of the rear cameras. While the Armor 27 Pro has a 50MP ultra-wide unit, the Armor 27T Pro has a FLIR Lepton thermal camera. In this in-depth Armor 27T Pro review we will cover all aspects of the device and will often refer to its non-thermal camera sibling for comparison. As usual, let's begin with an overview of the specifications and check what's in the box.

Specifications

Ulefone Armor 27T Pro is equipped with a 6.78-inch IPS display with a typical brightness of around 700 nits. The screen has a 1080 x 2460 px resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is covered with a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus and supports glove touch input. The punch hole in the top-center of the display houses a 32MP Samsung S5KGD1 selfie camera with a 5-element lens, an f/2.45 aperture, and an 80.4° FoV. The rear camera department is headed by a 50MP Samsung S5KGN1 sensor with a 7-element lens, an f/1.95 aperture, and an 85° FoV. It is adjoined by a 64MP OmniVision OV64B Night Vision camera with an f/1.79 aperture, a 79.4° FoV, and dual IR lights. The FLIR Lepton thermal camera is placed between the other two lenses. A 10600 mAh battery keeps the lights on supporting 33W wired, 30W wireless, and 5W reverse wireless charging.
