$180 Flagship Killer Ulefone Power has a 6,050mAh battery

[pezz]

While the established manufacturers got caught up in a race towards thin phones, battery capacities have suffered. Meanwhile, a clutch of lesser-known makers has realized there is untapped potential in this niche, and they've been coming out with monstrous battery capacities and attractive designs.

Take Ulefone, for instance, the maker of the Ulefone Power. The phone packs a massive 6,050mAh Sony battery, over twice the iPhone 6s Plus battery capacity. The battery promises four days of normal use, 63 hours of talk time and 75 days of standby.




Quick Charge tech is enabled and will fill up the whole battery in 2 hours. A 30-minute charge should be enough to last a typical day while a 5-minute charge is sufficient for 2 hours of talking.

The Ulefone Power has a metal frame around its 5.5" 1080p display (which sits behind 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3). For the back, you have a choice of abrasion-proof material or wood. There is even a fingerprint reader located on the back.

The phone comes with a 13MP Sony camera (IMX214, f/1.8 lens) with 1080p video capture with Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and a dual-LED flash. The front camera is a 5MP shooter.

The Power runs Android 5.1 (to be updated to 6.0 Marshmallow) on a 1.3GHz Mediatek octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM and a hybrid card slot - two microSIMs or SIM + microSD. There's LTE connectivity (150Mbps) and an IR blaster.

I was actually looking at the Ulephone BeTouch line as they're pretty decent. May look into these for better battery.

This model has better everything.

I just need to find a case - which was hard to find - and whether or not it can be rooted. Makes no sense without root these days for some features.

Personally the only thing killer about this phone is the battery... At that pricepoint id still rather buy a used Oneplus One. As khat said this dev support is a major concern as i dont see them even updating it past 6.0

Oh ok. Why only the battery is killer? The camera is killer too. See the attached screenshots in the youtube description.

Also I don't see the phone lagging anywhere.

Btw I came across this phone on xda. The unlocked the bootloader and everything.

For me dev support has mattered little for the past 3 years. So that won't be a problem for me.

I am gonna break away for spending $700 on phones. Just feels like I'm being robbed.

Based on Flexx17's comment I am gonna assume he didn't watch the video. Just read specs and comment.

i will admit that is exactly what i did. after watching the video i'm more inclined to give it a chance but just wished it had a vanilla interface. I'm Also skeptical about that mediatek chip although i know that is one of the main reasons the price is what it is
