Comment on I found pre-installed (unremovable) malware on my phone, and ESET doesn't seem to be checking system apps... (Ulefone Armor 24)

  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).
