The biggest con of this phone is the size. You can not walk around with this in your pocket without developing a limp. As of the time of this posting (2/28/2023) Ulefone is offering a free case/belt clip attachment thingy (click on “available promotion”, then “add both to cart”). If you buy this phone, GET THE CASE! If wearing a phone on your belt violates your fashion sensibilities, then this phone is not for you.
I like everything else about this phone. The best feature, by far, is the battery life. I am currently charging my X11 every four days. It is unlocked, inexpensive, waterproof, and durable. I have programmed the big orange button on the side to turn on the four LED flashlight. There is very little bloat-ware, and after enabling developer options and investigating my running services, I can confirm that there are very few unnecessary processes and services running in the background. Because this is an international phone, it also has some less obvious benefits. It works almost anywhere (does not work with AT&T), and it has two 4g sim card slots, allowing you to easily add sim cards while traveling. The GPS receives signals from NAVSTAR (USA) and GLONASS (Russia) as you would expect. But it also receives signals from Galileo (European Union), QZSS (Japan), BeiDou (China), IRNSS (India), and SBAS, making your GPS experience more stable, and more accurate. Inside my house I regularly get a fix on more than 22 satellites at a time. If you happen to ride a motorcycle, this is the best value in a waterproof GPS that I am aware of.
This phone is not the most stylish, it does not have the newest software, it is not the fastest, the camera is just ok, and there is no half eaten fruit company forcing you to use it the way they want you to… Buy one.
