change all your passwords you used with that device. then depends, can you afford a new phone? Go with a more known brand. If you can’t, start learning mandarin 😅

Yeah.
It sucks as usual manufacturers don’t make such crazy devices. This thing has a 22,000mAh battery and quite strong light at the back. And yes, it’s a quite heavy brick (647g or 1.43lbs).
I didn’t find anything better to compare the thickness to, so here it is next to a 1RU switch and a dumphone:

They have even larger phones, but this is already a second time they’ve had malware, so I don’t know about that…

If it makes you feel any better, that’s also not a 22AH battery. Stop buying phone on Temu.

There’s quite a few devices like this (from other brands as wall). On a full charge with heavy use it lasts me 5 days. The capacity also checked out with a USB tester, although I only tested it during charging from something like 5%.
I could also try a discharge test, but that’s going to take around 8 hours (10W max output). If you trust whoever did this test, they got 57 hours of screen on time for video streaming: www.devicespecifications.com/en/…/9
That has to fit somewhere.
Anyway, I got it on Alza. I wouldn’t trust shops like that with anything above, say, EUR 50. Especially not Temu, though I haven’t used them personally. The most expensive stuff I got on Aliexpress was around that sum. Two Heltec ESP32 boards with LoRa and RTL-SDR v3 (with the antenna kit).

The battery life on Ulefone devices is one thing they don’t actually skimp on. I have one and it will go days without a charge. Performs as advertised. And switched off, left in a drawer for 6 months, it didn’t drop a single percentage of battery charge.

I don’t doubt the battery is big, but a 20AH 1S battery pack is still somewhat larger than the phone in that picture .
