Ulefone Paris survives 8 floor drop test, in its box


Ulefone have thrown their latest Ulefone Paris out of an 8th floor window to prove that the packaging of the phone can protect your device while in transit, we wonder what would happen without the box?

We’ve seen drop tests before, and usually they entail a phone dropped from waist height, shoulder height and head height to see how the phone will survive. The video above is more impressive due to the height, 30 meters, but less so as the phone is still in the box.

Gizchina News of the week


While the video does show the phone dropping 8 stories and surviving it is really more of a testament to the quality of the Ulefone Paris packaging rather than the strength of the phone itself.

Perhaps after we finish our review we will make a similar video to see how the Paris’ metal frame and Gorilla Glass front panel will survive an un-cushioned landing.

      Ordered a white one for my mother in law from Chinavision on 28th Sept. Delayed shipment until 10th Oct due National holidays and then they said another delay of stock until 26th Oct. However they managed to source one earlier and shipped out yesterday. Should have in my hands by end of week.

          Just received it yesterday! It is pretty damn good for a budget smartphone. I just set it all up with Nova Launcher and themed it to her liking. She loves the phone.

    Pointless video if you ask me. From the POV of the consumer, they shouldn’t care if it can withstand damage in its packaging because it should be a given that all care is taken to ensure shipment of the devices to the resellers/consumers is done properly so no damage would be done to the goods during transit. The consumer would be more worried about how the phone would fare if the phone itself dropped in real world scenarios.. (Their previous droptest video was much more relevant and valuable)

      Ah, ah, did not read the text? Don’t need a strong package?

      No one wants his mobile phone to be crushed in transit

    Review from XDA.Look this video .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ec8Y4aebFk

      mentions that he believes the camera to be interpolated, but I don’t think it is. The camera module used in the Paris is the Omnivision OV13850 and going by the specs on their site, it seems to be full megapixels and not interpolated megapixels. Awaiting the review from Gizchina!

        It is true pixels, the actual pixel OV13850 is 1320W.This is the official website of the information OV.

          Very true. I didn’t believe s7yler when he said it was interpolated. I also checked the specs of the camera sensor. Also just received the white version I bought for my mother in law and I can say the picture quality is very acceptable for a budget smartphone.

    No need to advertise this one anymore. First batch is obviously out of stock, as the seller just refunded me, not even trying to find one.
