Introduction
Today we’re introduced to one of the smallest rugged phones ever – the Ulefone Armor Mini 20T Pro. It is a compact phone with a 4.7-inch screen, FLIR thermal camera, and a large battery.
But looks can be deceiving – this Armor Mini 20T Pro is 2.5cm thick! Of course, it’s IP68/IP69K/MIL-STD-810H certified for all kinds of threats – from standard dust and water proofing to shock and drop resistance.
The Armod Mini 20T Pro features a 4.7-inch 720p display with Gorilla Glass Victus protection and is powered by the Dimensity 6300 5G chip along with 8GB of RAM.
The phone has a 50MP main camera and a 32MP selfie shooter. There’s a FLIR thermal camera on the back and a flashlight function powered by 130 LEDs that give an output of 500 lumens. In addition to the white LED, the flash also includes blue and red LEDs.
There is also an Armor Mini 20 Pro version of this smartphone, which has a night vision camera instead of FLIR.
The Armor Mini 20T Pro packs a 6,200mAh battery with wired charging support up to 33W. Ulefone has also added 15W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging options.
Some other cool features you can find in this Armor Mini 20T Pro are – wireless FM radio, a microSD slot, an audio jack, and a barometer sensor.

The Armor Mini 20T Pro also feels like a really solid smartphone. We expected an even larger capacity battery inside this thick body, even though this is not a Power Armor device. But let’s discuss this again after our battery life test is complete.
Unboxing the Ulefone Armor Mini 20T Pro
The Ulefone Armor Mini 20T Pro comes in a particularly large retail box. It includes a 33W USB-C charger, a USB-C cable, a lanyard, and a tempered glass protector (the phone already has a plastic one).
There’s no protective case in the box, but you don’t really need one with a phone this rugged, right?
There’s an optional case kit with a multi-purpose holder that lets you wear the Armor Mini 20T Pro as a body camera. It has a back panel with a placeholder for said clip.
