Ulefone Power Armor 13 rugged smartphone has been officially announced by the Chinese brand. While the smartphone has a lot of things worth noting, what’s most interesting is its battery capacity — it comes with a massive 13,200mAh battery, which is the highest on any rugged smartphone. With this huge battery, the Ulefone Power Armor 13 is claimed to deliver battery life of up to 5 days, with standby time of 600 hours and talk time of 17 hours. This is much longer than the industry standard, which is around 1.5-2 days on even smartphones with 5,000-6,000mAh batteries.

Despite packing a massive 13,200mAh battery, the Ulefone Power Armor 13 still doesn’t hold the record for the biggest cell inside a smartphone. That title, at least technically, goes to the Energizer Power Max P18K, which has a humongous 18,000mAh battery; however, it never went into production and, thus, cannot be purchased.

But, as we mentioned above, the Ulefone Power Armor 13 is not just about the battery. It also sports a pretty large 6.81-inch display and has a rugged design with IP68/IP69K rating for protection from the elements. Other key Ulephone Power Armor 13 specifications include a MediaTek Helio G95 chipset, 8GB RAM, 48MP primary camera, and a 16MP front-facing camera.
