Ulefone has just raised the bar for rugged smartphones with the launch of its Ulefone Armor 29 Ultra. Sitting at the top of the brand’s lineup alongside the Armor 28 Ultra, this beast combines the sheer speed of MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300+ with a jaw-dropping 21,200mAh battery. This is one of the main benefits in a device of this category; this is a capacity you won’t find in any mainstream flagship. It’s a device built for people who push their gear to the limit. Great option for those in the wilderness or demanding, on-site professional work.
The Armor 29 Ultra officially goes on sale August 18, with availability through AliExpress, Amazon, and Ulefone’s store. A special launch price will be revealed during its debut sale, making it an enticing time to upgrade to a next-gen rugged phone.
Dimensity 9300+: Power Without Compromise
At its core, the Armor 29 Ultra packs the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, an all-big-core CPU clocked at 3.4GHz and built on an advanced 4nm process. Paired with the Immortalis-G720 GPU and a dedicated MediaTek NPU 790, it delivers uncompromising performance for gaming, heavy multitasking, and AI-driven tasks.
On paper, the numbers speak for themselves:
- AnTuTu: 2,168,993 — outperforming many top-tier flagships.
- Geekbench 6: 2,204 (single-core) / 7,303 (multi-core).
- 3DMark: 17,075 (best loop) / 12,220 (lowest loop) for sustained graphics performance.
- PCMark: 19,069 for outstanding productivity.
Whether you’re rendering media, crunching through data, or just playing the latest graphics-heavy titles, this chipset doesn’t flinch.
Top-Tier Memory and Storage
Speed is nothing without the hardware to support it. The Armor 29 Ultra ships with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a massive 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. The LPDDR5X offers blistering read speeds up to 8533 Mbps. The UFS 4.0 storage hits 4300MB/s write speeds, twice as fast as UFS 3.1. In the “real-life,” this means lightning-fast app launches, lag-free multitasking, and ample space for all your 4K videos, high-resolution photos, and offline maps, without ever worrying about storage limits.
Smarter, Faster AI
The Dimensity 9300+ also brings a hardware-level generative AI engine. The technology allows the phone to handle AI image creation, text generation, and other complex workloads directly on-device, without relying on the cloud. Compared to its predecessor, AI performance is up by 200%, while power consumption drops by 45%. That’s smarter and more efficient, all in one package.
Features That Go Beyond Performance
Beyond its sheer performance, the Armor 29 Ultra stands out for its practical, high-end hardware features. The phone has a massive 21,200mAh battery that delivers days of uninterrupted use. This is complete with 120W fast charging, which ensures you’re quickly powered up and back in action.
The camera setup is equally impressive, featuring a 50MP Sony IMX989 1-inch sensor for exceptional detail, a 64MP infrared night vision camera with enhanced quad-IR LEDs, and a 50MP ultra-wide macro lens for versatile shooting. The device includes a powerful LED work light and a dedicated warning light. It’s a great add-on, making it an indispensable tool in the field. The device can endure the harshest environments; it boasts IP68/IP69K ratings and MIL-STD-810H certification. This offers resistance to dust, water, shocks, and extreme temperatures.
Launch & Special Offers
The Ulefone Armor 29 Ultra hits stores on August 18, and Ulefone is celebrating with a lucky draw — lucky participants can win either the Armor 33 Pro or Armor 33. Details will be shared on the official Ulefone website and social channels.
If you’ve been waiting for a rugged phone that doesn’t compromise on speed, endurance, or storage, this might just be the most complete package yet.
