Comment on There's No Reason to Buy a New Phone Anymore

About a year ago I bought a ulefone armour 29, the first phone I’ve been excited about since 10 years at least.

Its has all the standard features like a 50 mpixel camera, etc but it also has a 20.000+ mAh battery that lasts a week, it has a real FLIR infra red camera which works quite well, a night vision camera, a huge LED light bank that can light up a complete garden or burn out youtbeye balls if you stare into it. It has a small display on the back that can show a clock or compass or camera display even, without using the main screen. It also has emergency red blue flash lights that can make someone think you’re police if you put it on your dashboard.

Its also huge and heavy, 700+ grams. Its built like a tank and I’ve only been able to find one protection case for it as it kinda sorta doesn’t really need one. Hell, this thing can be used as a self defense weapon of someone attacks you. At night, with a single button I activate that light and my attacker will not break able to see anything for minutes and a single smack in the face with this thing will make you reconsider life choices.

Yeah, most of these features are semi useful at best but boy is it fun for a nerd to use it.

Its also a great conversation piece. Anytime I pull this monster out, people look, and the questions start.

My next phone will need to have at least all these features and more. Add a UV camera, add a Geiger counter, add whatever feature you can think of. That will make me buy a nre phone again, nothing else will.
