Watch: Ulefone Tiger GPS test


The Ulefone Tiger is advertised to offer an accurate GPS navigation, thanks to the upper and lower part of the device being made of plastic (and not metal) for improved signal reception. But those are just words, does it actually work? Let’s check in their latest video.

As you can see the GPS test is pretty straight forward, they get in a car, set up two Ulefone Tiger on the dashboard and then start both a GPS test app and Google Maps. As they drive through the streets of Shenzhen we can read an accuracy of 7-8 feet on one phone, which is pretty impressive. Meanwhile, on the other Ulefone Tiger, the Google Maps location mark appears to be on point (get it?) and updating in real time.

I guess this video proves that Ulefone claims weren’t so groundless, the antenna design actually improves GPS positioning; something not always granted on these cheaper overseas handsets.

      You said the design refers to the back cover? The effect of that drawing great, do not know how the actual feel.

        Not just the back cover of the design, I think the camera part of the design is also great, that shiny.

          I think ulefone imitate the MOTO Z part of the camera design, they look very similar.

    6-7 satellites in use? Not even one getting to 40 level. Driving at 30 km/h so google maps doesn’t hiccup. Hmmm no.

      But you do not pay attention to this is in the urban areas, and even the city of Shenzhen looks like a lot of tall buildings.

      40 level is a very high value, you rarely see on the phone a large range of more than 40 values, although sometimes in the video will appear more than 40 values, but you can look at the S7 edge test, the static state , Open space.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeX8rhITmNw

    I think that Elephone and Ulefone have much in common. They are both making crap phones and they have the same spam comments… =)
