Great Phone but not 5 Stars

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024

This Ulefone 18 Ultra is a great phone. I've had it and been using it for less than a month now but at least 2 weeks.

I switched from an LG V30 and although I found it more difficult to set up this phone and figure out features than the LG V30, overall I like this phone more. Perhaps that most incredible difference 😳 and positive for this 18 Ultra contrasted with the V30 is battery life. Astonishing! This 18 Ultra holds a battery juice for a loooong time. Not only that! I'm blown away at how fast the 66W charging block and cord that comes with it charges this phone from 2% to 50%. Super fast. By the time this 18 Ultra gets to 50% my V30 might have gotten to 10%

I haven't really tested out the photo cameras yet though on this 18 Ultra.

Oh! the tempered glass that comes with this phone that you can put on, and I did, just rocks! in increasing the value purchase of the phone via giving you even a greater sense of security if dropping your phone to the ground.

My one big gripe is that to turn OFF my phone, to power it off, I have to press and hold the TOP volume button and the power button at the same time. I haven't figured out how to fix that yet.

Also, for added helpful info, I went through Straight Talk "Bring Your Own Phone" plan. The Straight Talk sim card package I ordered through Walmart provided 2 sim cards: A & B. I believe Straight Talk phone operator had me put in sim card B. On my phone in "About" section my phone says T-Mobile.

I needed a Dual SIM cell phone, and this is what I ended up buying, a big, thick, heavy, rugged, cell phone, emphasis on heavy! I especially like the long battery life, attributed to the obviously large battery and also all the charging features, such as the fast charging option and Qi. Performance is very good, the phone is snappy, plenty fast. Other than the usual Google Android bloat, all the preloaded apps are adequate, though there are plenty of other apps available from Google. I plan on purchasing one or more of the uSmart accessories, though I wish there was an optional protective cover for the phone's accessory port.

WIFI calling does not work internationally, SMS's do not send or receive / bad camera

Just like the older model, this phone does NOT have a good 2-SIM card configuration. WiFi calls and text messages work on my other Ulefones, but DO NOT WORK on this specific model. Same SIM card, same carrier, same location - but WiFi text messaging (internationally) just works on my other Armor. Additionally, the camera is defective on this phone and shuts down as soon as it opens. Customer service completely ineffective, had to email several times they did not show like they cared at all.

Love this phone. I am buying one for mywife too finally a decent phone that works for customer. Suggestion. Don't take it to your phone server. Just simply insert you old sim card and add card the phone is set up. Simple as that and saves you costly fee and new card no reasons for that. Love this. Am sticking with this brand from now on.

Five star if you don't read a new phone manual

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2023

This is a five stare phone if you don't read a new phone manual. It has all the basic features of a modern smart phone.

For those of you who read the phone manual cover to cover you would consider this a four star phone as you will be looking for those extra features on other high spec modern smart phones.

My expectations on my new phone were low
Wireless charging
Long battery life
Water resistant (read a text or call in light rain)
NFC
Modern CPU + memory
Android 12

My list is short and the phone ticked all the boxes
My plan is to never use any cables. I have read some reviews with problems with this type of phone after being in water. I have had similar issues with other devices were I have not closed the water proof tabs. So I will not be wireless only.

You may notice camera was not on my list, so I happy with the camera quality, if you are a serious camera phone person you should read the specification for the camera.

The phone power saving feature are basic, but the large battery gave me 4 days untill I loaded up some of my power hungry apps.

One reason forme going for the large battery is to get optimum life out of the battery. I run the battery 20-80% . Never letting the battery go flat or charging to 100%.

A slow wireless charge gets me to 80% overnight.
I used a fast wireless charge during the day 20-80% and the phone got a little hot. So I will only use a fast charge for a 20% top-up.

When you first up date the phone it says it will take a few minutes and done switch off during the update. Expect to wait an hour for the update , be patient and don't be tempted to restart the phone.

I had the opportunity to copy all old settings from my old phone . I resisted and manually set up minium apps from my old phone and manually re enter passwords. Over a few days
This enables me to bin un required apps and the big battery users.

Reseption on the phone is 90% compared to my old phone, only noticeable on EE, which has a bad signal. My 02 has full signal so all good.

The phone is big and stopped noticing how heave after a few days until I pickup my old phone. I stopped carrying my phone in my pocket last year and use a bag so not the best phone to pop into your jeans pocket.

Online banking app works so no complaints.

Only 4g but by the time I have 5g in my area I will need a new phone.

The only reason I upgraded my phone was because I was on android 10 so if you are running Android 10 or lower you need to make the jump to android 12 as a minimum
