Ulefone Armor Mini 4

Another ultra-rugged device, this time targeting users who want simplicity and durability without the complexity of a smartphone. The Ulefone Armor Mini 4, announced in March 2025 and expected to launch in Q2, is a classic-style feature phone with modern durability.

Design and Build

The Armor Mini 4 may be compact, but it’s built like a tank. Measuring 142.9 x 63 x 15 mm, it easily fits in your hand or pocket while still being IP68/IP69K certified and drop-resistant up to 1.2 meters. Whether you drop it in water or mud, this phone keeps going. A built-in flashlight makes it even more practical for outdoor use or emergencies.

Display

The Ulefone Armor Mini 4 2.8-inch TFT LCD screen is basic yet functional. It offers a 240 x 320 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio, providing enough clarity for calls, texts, and simple media. While it’s not built for media consumption, its low power usage adds to the battery longevity.

Performance

At the Ulefone Armor Mini 4 core, the phone runs on a Unisoc T117 chipset with 64MB RAM and 128MB storage—minimal, yet more than sufficient for its intended tasks. You can expand storage with a dedicated microSDHC slot, keeping your contacts, messages, and MP3s organized.

Camera

While photography isn’t its strong suit, the Mini 4 does include a 2MP rear camera with LED flash—handy for quick snapshots or documentation. Video recording is also supported, though there’s no front camera.

Battery Life

One of the key strengths of the Armor Mini 4 is its 2100mAh removable battery. It supports 5W wired charging and offers extended standby time—making it ideal for long trips or remote work. You can easily swap batteries when needed, a rare feature in modern devices.

Connectivity & Multimedia

Despite being a feature phone, the Armor Mini 4 offers a decent set of options:

• Bluetooth support
• Built-in FM radio with antenna
• USB Type-C charging
• 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio
• MP3/MP4 media player

However, it skips Wi-Fi, positioning, and NFC, which won’t be missed by its target audience.

Simplicity & Utility

The phone doesn’t include sensors, games, or Java support—intentionally. It focuses purely on communication and utility, with messaging, call records, and phonebook features available right out of the box. The loudspeaker ensures clear calls in noisy environments.

Conclusion

The Ulefone Armor Mini 4 proves that you don’t need to be smart to be tough. Built for durability, long battery life, and basic communication, it’s a perfect backup or primary phone for those who value simplicity. Whether you’re on a job site, in the wilderness, or just want peace of mind, this rugged feature phone delivers where it counts.
