All about the best cell phones

It's been a long time since cell phones with physical keyboards stopped dominating the smartphone market, but when it comes to resistance, these models were quite robust. With this in mind, Ulefone launched the Armor Mini 2 to super-resistant cell phone, but without a touchscreen.

The focus here is durability, and so the device only has the basic functions of a cell phone. But, for those who think this is just an old model re-released, the Armor Mini 2 comes with IP68 certification, and can be submerged in up to 1,5 meters of water for 30 minutes.

In addition, it has an extremely resistant frame and is very compact, making it ideal for taking on trails and climbs. With this in mind, this little one also has a flashlight and buttons dedicated to emergency calls.

Made for adventure

If you're going to travel with it, you also don't need to worry about taking the charger, since due to its limited resources and its small screen, the Armor Mini 2 has a battery capable of lasting up to 19 (nineteen) days in standby mode (attention, Apple).

Underneath all the armor, it has a Mediatek MT6261D chip, which is quite modest, but sufficient for the phone's purpose. The rear camera is only 0,3 MP, so photos are definitely not the highlight here. But, on the other hand, it has an FM radio and a slot for microSD cards (up to 32 GB).

The first Amor Mini was launched by Ulefone in the second half of 2018 and had very similar configurations, the main difference being the more up-to-date chip. The company is well known for developing this type of super-resistant device.

Unlike others endurance-focused cell phones, like the AGM X5 5G, and its bigger brothers Armor 9 e Armor 10, which have many features but are also much more expensive, the Armor Mini 2 It is very affordable, and can be found for as little as US$49 (around R$250 in direct conversion).
