"This hurt my foot" Finally the rugged phone I've been asking for, doubles as a blunt weapon for post apocalyptic scenarios. A true every situation device

This is the closest nuclear smartphone I always wanted

I forgot my Tank 3 Pro phone on top of my car, and while I was driving, it fell off. My car is 2 meters high, and I was going at about 110 km/h. I saw something spinning very fast behind my car but didn't realize it was my phone until I stopped to check. Indeed, it was my Tank 3 Pro. Was it damaged? Yes, it had a few scratches and the projector glass was broken, but the phone was still working perfectly. Please don't try this yourself; it was super dangerous. It could have ended badly if it had hit another car. Don't leave your belongings, especially your phone, on top of your car. I just wanted to share this to demonstrate how durable this phone is. It’s literally as tough as a rock.

it's missing a diesel emergency generator and i'd love if it could charge my tesla, other than that it's a pretty sweet little phone. for real now, that was a great review!

Wait a minute...that hazard mode would be really helpful if you are in danger and someone is trying to threaten you. If you play that alarm while being pursued or someone is breaking in, it could scare the threat away or make them hesitate.

Great video bro

wow it has a built in projector. is it waterproof with those venting holes on the side ? does it has inductive charging and headsetfree fm radio ? how does the microphone sound when making phonecalls in the 4G net ?

That projector plug for the deep dive of the One Plus open 😂😂😂

How many hours can i Play vedio with projector?

I got the tank 3, regular version. It's a beast. 666 grams of phone. Aaaand I use it as my regular phone. I game. I game a lot. At any opportunity. And I was tired of running out of battery. My last phone I had to charge it at least one time in the middle of the day or at least late afternoon. Well, no more of that with this beast. It's clunky. It's heavy. I had to spend two weeks getting used to the weight. But no more charging in the middle of the day. 20%? Great, still have battery to play for 4 or 5 more hours!

There are two versions of it? Tank 3 (without projector) and tank 3 pro (with projector) ?

Nice review 👌🏻👌🏻

if they put a better screen & camera flagship killer sensors with OIS & 5x zoom telephoto (& gcam supports with official or user uploaded Sites for config XML) which altogether may won't cost more than 50-60$, they could sell it for 150$ more. of course a better speaker setup is appreciated too

So is the USBC down there fully waterproof like the NOKIA XR20? cos just because that lil plastic is there doesnt mean water is not gonna go in underwater.

So it hertz when you drop a tank on your foot... Seems like it might be good if you go camping.

I have no need at all for such a phone but I really want one.

Do you ever sell your reviewed phones? I've been waiting for the official launch of this phone. Can't wait to get one.

I LOVE this phone, my other half is all about that Van Life and using this would be great and the projector....chefs kiss. Thank you for another great video, any chance of more "quirky" items reviewed?

I have the Tank 1. Great phone, very reliable. Never had an issue with the software. It just works. Physically very durable (fell on hard floor many times, zero scratches or anything). I feel a strong urge to get the Tank 3 but why, when my Tank 1 works just fine?

maybe i should score one of these bad boys.. _..just in case_ who knows? this kaiju might even become a collector's item, down the line

Dimensity 8200 should be more than enough for most people. I just hope that Unihertz can give decent software support. Two OS update is more than enough.

Would this make a good gaming phone mainly Roblox games where u can use auto clicker afk also?

I wish someone would put a micro 4/3 sensor into a thicc gizmo like this one. Or a Cybershot-T-like proper periscope zoom lens ...

i really love the concept. projector. long battery life. durable. generally reminds me of my old lg g4 that had 2 tb of storage on the phone and a projector i miss those characteristics on a phone. like samsung s21 on many occations short storage has bothered me. i dont like online cloud services always. google drive is only 10gb and then you have to start paying .etc. i also wouldn't mind having 2 phones. this tank phone would be used for gathering evidence. so everything is organized on it as evidence. i might be out in the rain or something when trying to take pictures of stuff etc. blowing snow, etc. i can also back up my stuff onto it. use it semi as an ssd drrive. the phone itself is the back up of my files. etc. if i do type c to type c from phone to phone? would i be able to transfer files from phone to phone with a type c to type c cable?

For those of us who missed the projector phone when Samsung stopped making it, and wished it had enough battery to run that projector for a useful amount of time. That would be an awesome thing to bring to a camp-out on the beach. Stream Netflix on a blanket at night while having a few beers.

I bought a tank 3 and it's fine they shipped a update now with all the features but still the pro has a projector more ram better camp light and is alittle bit finer mine is 31 this is 29 mm thick so unfortunate but I'm happy with mine too 😔

Projector plus this battery.... On a pixel 7 year support... I'd buy it. I would definitely buy it if I could still use the projector after flashing the OS to something else like graphene.

I am looking for a budget motorbike navigation Android phone. Important: -big screen (>6.5, maybe a rugged tablet with max 8") -very high brightness -GPS -battery (altough I can hook it to the motorbike battery) -robustness(vibrations, water/rain,dust) All the "rest" not important. Suggestions?

Only things it's really missing are a thermal camera and a laser rangefinder, then it'd be the perfect rugged phone.

I've been using the tank 3 the one without the projector and it's the same as this one just no projector anyhow I've been using it for over 3 months and I can honestly say yes it is pocketable it is beefy it's heavy yes but you get used to it after a while the battery life is amazing I charge it every night but I have went a while weekend barely using it and it only dropped by 10-15% I have used it for video playback music and it just doesn't die on battery life and by God if you put battery saver on and half brightness that's a months worth batter life right their, would 100% recommend it if your a I hate charging my phone every few hours I want the max battery life person like me😊.

Im writing this comment with my Tank 3 Pro rn. I can't imagine dropping this thing on my foot. Really needs a hand strap tbh.

so, no vga and lpt ports? ;)

It should be decent for gaming. The dimensity is a solid chip, but it's not going to outpace a Poco F series. I'm not sure if it is directly sold, but I would imagine you can score one through an international reseller or a site like Aliexpress.

I was PLEASANTLY surprised to see that chip in here.

The speaker is GOD AWFUL TRASH!!! Everything else is awesome. I will be buying this as a powerbank/projector first and as a backup phone/camping light. Of course I want MORE than 10watts of charging power. I will mostly be using it as a retro gaming, like retroarch / Kodi and netflix and pair this with my mini bose bluetooth and ps4 controller and a 1.5tb micro sd. The large ram would really help when playing minecraft and also have youtube in the corner. As my tab s7pro crashes randomly if I do that. Anyways great review!

I find the speaker actually very decent for being a mono speaker. It certainly is better than many other phones speaker.

CAUTION ⚠️: Keep out of the reach of children. Will cause serious damage even to adults. This is definitely is a Kaiju. The size of it just insane
