The Ulefone Armor 2 is the company’s latest rugged phone which features IP68 rating, that means it can withstand water, dust and sand with no issues. But that’s getting somewhat common in rugged phones, so what else is special about the Armor 2? Well, what about the wide range of temperatures it can survive? We’re talking from a lowest of -40C to a maximum of 80C. Ulefone posted a video showing us just that; let’s have a look.
Taking inspiration from the books and TV show “Game of Thrones”, the video begins with the Ulefone Armor 2 being frozen into a block of ice, then put into a pan on top of a portable cooker. This obviously causes the water to liquefy, to the point of making it boil.
Then the Armor 2 was taken out and surprisingly enough (at least for us) the smartphone is fully working, they even put it back into the pan and call it from another phone to prove it’s not damaged in any way.
How’s this possible, though? Well, Ulefone say that the housing of the Armor 2 is made of flexible TPU, with some parts in glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate material and metal, because of this the smartphone can withstand temperatures in which other smartphones would probably die.

For me in terms of price, quality, resistance, the best thing you can opt for is a Nomu, a line of terminals that are quite good at the moment. And I’m staying with your last mobile the S30 mini.
