The functionality can be combined with all devices that use the 400-470 MHz frequencies.
In addition to the walkie-talkie function and robustness, there are two speakers and a 10,300 mAh battery to ensure a huge operational autonomy. The rear camera uses a Sony 21MP sensor and a 13MP sensor in the front. Ulefone Armor 3T supports fingerprint unlocking and face recognition, supports global frequencies, NFC and Google Pay. The operating system installed on first startup is Android 8.1 Oreo.
