The last rugged phone with a thermal camera we featured is the Doogee V31 GT 5G 24, which is about $594 (~PHP 34.5k). Fast forward to today, Ulefone is about to launch their own rugged smartphone with a thermal camera as well. The main difference is it is more affordable, just under 18k, while in terms of specs, it is using a more capable Mediatek Dimensity 6500 SoC.
Moreover, there will also be a 4G version which will be using a Helio G99. Also, the battery is lower compared to the Doogee, which will have up to 6500mAh.
The Ulefone Armo 15r 25T Pro is expected to be around $300 (~PHP 17.5k), although we are not yet sure if this will be the 4G or 5G variant base price.
This device will be available in a single color, Frost Black. Pre-orders will be available in Aliexpress on June 1. Now, there are no words yet if this will also be available on our local e-commerce stores like Shopee and Lazada.
