Ulefone Armor 25T 4G Review

OS, UI and software

This OS, UI, and software overview for the Ulefone Armor 25T is shorter than usual because this smartphone uses software that's identical to the one on its 5G sibling and you can find a detailed description and plenty of screenshots in the Ulefone Armor 25T Pro 5G review. Both models run on almost stock Android 14. The Lock Screen displays the usual big Clock widget and a tiny Date widget. The Home Screen includes the usual Google search bar with integrated Lens and Voice search, a Clock and Date widget, a docked row of apps, a row of favorite applications, the ThermoVue app, and the Service Center app. An app drawer is the default way of listing applications and you can switch to a desktop mode from the Home Settings. The Task Manager lets you lock/unlock and white-list apps from being cleared in the background. The Customization Picker lists the four options at the bottom of the screen with a transparent overview on top. It contains a choice of themes, the standard wallpapers and style options, a list of widgets, and the Home Settings. The Notifications shade and the Quick Settings are accessed after a swipe down from the left top and the right top of the screen, respectively. In addition to the standard set of pre-installed applications, you get a remote control app, System Manager, a Toolbag with a Pedometer, Barometer, Alarm Bell, Compass, Torch, etc. Ulefone sticks to its preferred layout of the Settings which groups the menus and divides them visually by light gray bands. The first group is dedicated to the connectivity options providing direct access to the Airplane mode toggle, SIM card and mobile data settings, Wi-Fi settings, and connection settings to other devices. The second group contains five menus - Notifications, Display, Sound& Vibration, Security & privacy, Passwords & accounts. The third group comprises the Apps, Battery, Storage, and Accessibility menus. The fourth is the largest including Location, Safety & emergency, Digital Wellbeing, Fingerprint, Google, Custom key, DuraSpeed, Memory expansion, and Smart Assist. System and About phone comprise the last group in the Settings app.
