Description
Ulefone Armor X16 Pro ULE-RGPN-X16P-BLK – 5G rugged smartphone for long days and demanding environments
The Ulefone Armor X16 Pro combines rugged protection, 5G connectivity and unusually high battery capacity for users who need a phone that can handle long shifts, field work and outdoor conditions. The Wasteland Shadow model provides 8GB RAM, 256GB storage and a dedicated microSD slot for further expansion.
A 64MP main camera covers everyday photography while the separate 25MP infrared night vision camera is designed for capturing scenes in complete darkness. A built-in glare flashlight, large 10,360 mAh battery and 5 W wired reverse charging add useful functionality when working away from convenient power.



















Is This Right for You?
- Well suited to construction, maintenance, logistics, security, agriculture and outdoor users who want a more robust smartphone.
- A good option when long battery life and 5G connectivity are more important than having a thin, lightweight handset.
- The dedicated infrared night vision camera is useful for low-light inspections and outdoor work where a normal camera may struggle.
- At approximately 394.5 g and 17.95 mm thick, this is substantially heavier and thicker than a conventional smartphone.
Why Choose This Product?
- Built for tougher environments: IP68 and IP69K ratings are combined with MIL-STD-810H certification, while Gorilla Glass 5 protects the display.
- Long-running 10,360 mAh battery: the large built-in battery reduces dependence on frequent charging during long shifts or trips.
- 33 W wired charging: supports faster charging when the supplied compatible charger is used, while 5 W reverse charging can provide power to another wired device.
- Dedicated night vision: the 25MP infrared night vision camera complements the 64MP main and 2MP macro cameras for a wider range of shooting conditions.
- Responsive everyday performance: the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 combines 5G connectivity with an octa-core processor running at up to 2.4 GHz.
- Useful outdoor lighting: the dedicated glare flashlight can produce up to 133 lumens without requiring a separate torch for basic illumination.
- Expandable storage without sacrificing a SIM: two Nano SIM slots are provided alongside a separate microSD slot supporting cards up to 2TB.
Before You Buy
- 5G, 4G and VoLTE operation depends on your mobile network, SIM, local coverage and supported carrier services.
- The phone supports two Nano SIM cards plus a dedicated microSD card. The microSD card is sold separately and Ulefone specifies support up to 2TB.
- IP68 water-resistance testing is under controlled laboratory conditions to a maximum depth of 2 metres for up to 30 minutes. Water and dust resistance can reduce with normal wear, and the phone should not be charged while wet.
- The built-in battery is not designed to be user removable.
- The handset measures approximately 173.78 × 83.4 × 17.95 mm and weighs 394.5 g, so buyers wanting a slim or lightweight phone should consider this before ordering.
- Optional Ulefone Armor cases, mounts and carrying accessories are sold separately.

Rugged Phones Warranty & Returns
This rugged phone is covered by a warranty against manufacturing defects, subject to supplier or manufacturer assessment.
Unless otherwise stated on the product page, rugged phones carry a 12-month warranty from the original invoice date. Batteries, chargers, cables and other supplied accessories may carry a shorter warranty period where specified.
The warranty does not cover physical damage, cracked screens, impact damage, liquid ingress caused by incorrect use or incorrectly sealed covers, damaged charging ports, unauthorised repairs, software modification, rooted devices, tampered IMEI / serial numbers, surge damage, misuse, neglect or incorrect operation.
Although rugged phones are designed for tougher environments, IP ratings and drop resistance depend on correct use. SIM trays, charging covers and protective seals must be properly closed before exposure to dust, water or harsh conditions.
All warranty claims are subject to inspection and testing. A repair, replacement or refund will only be approved once the fault has been assessed and confirmed as a valid manufacturing defect.
Customers are responsible for backing up all data, photos, contacts, apps and files before submitting a device for assessment or repair. We cannot be held responsible for data loss, software resets, app loss or account access issues during the assessment or repair process.
Products returned for assessment must include the order number, customer contact details and a clear description of the fault. Please include all relevant accessories where requested.
For unwanted returns, the product must be unused, complete and in its original packaging. Return courier costs may be for the customer’s account unless the product was supplied incorrectly or confirmed defective in line with our Returns Policy.
Please refer to our full Returns Policy and Terms & Conditions for complete details.
