Ulefone Armor 25T has the same 6.78-inch IPS display with an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate as its 5G sibling. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus with oleophobic coating is used for protection. The 32MP Samsung S5KGD1 selfie camera has a 5-element lens, an f/2.45 aperture, and an 80.4° FoV. The rear camera department houses a 50MP Samsung S5KGN1 main shooter with a 7-element lens, an f/1.85 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. Finally, there's the ThermoVuew thermal camera with a 160 x 120 px resolution.

A MediaTek Helio G99 chipset ticks under the hood of the Armor 25T 4G with a 2.2 GHz octa-core CPU and a 1GHz dual-core Mali-G57 GPU. It is paired with 6GB of dual-channel LPDDR4X RAM that can be virtually expanded with up to 6GB. There are 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage on board that can be further expanded via a microSD card. Just like on the 5G Armor 25T Pro, a 6500 mAh battery keeps the lights on ensuring up to 48 hours of talk time and 487 hours of standby time. It supports 33W fast charging, 30W wireless charging, and 5W reverse wireless charging.
