WARNING: Beware of Cowboys selling “cheap” rugged phones
Some big rugged phones sites and TradeMe sellers are trying to flog-off phones that don’t work in rural areas, and which may not work anywhere once Vodafone and Spark switch off the 3G cellsites next year – and they’re lying to their customers about it, still promising “compatible with all NZ 3G/4G networks”.
To help you avoid being stung, we’ve compiled a database of all rugged phones and whether they are really compatible. Read more at the links

Ulefone’s Armor 18 series uses the Mediatek Dimensity 7050 chipset which makes it about as powerful as a Samsung Galaxy S20. A key feature of this phone is its ability to use storage space for a virtual 12GB RAM boost when necessary, so it can deliver up to 24GB of RAM for multitasking. With a big 9600 mAh battery this is another weighty phone but will do what you need at the site or in the office.
Most Ulefones are glued shut/not repairable/expensive-disposable-toys; THIS model is repairable.
