8849Tank 3 Pro Rugged Smartphone Unlocked, Android 14 Waterproof Rugged Cell Phone with Projector, 6.79" 23800mAh 5G Mobile Phones 32GB RAM 512GB ROM, Dual SIM/Camping Light/2TB Expand/OTG/GPS

Been using the Tank 3 pro for three days now.Yes there are some cons but few. I'll start there.I saw a review that said it does not work on cricket. I initially had AT&t, phone calls and text messages worked just fine. 5G INTERNET DOES NOT WORK ON THE AT&T NETWORK WITH THIS PHONE. I switched to T-Mobile and it works just fine.YOU WILL HAVE TO USE THE CHARGER IN THE BOX. I haven't been able to test the theory yet with my other fast chargers, but even plugged in for 2 hours in the truck with Android auto and the battery increase was minimal. Battery lasts forever not that big of a deal.It's big but fits in my deep pocket jeans no problem.There is a place on the bottom back for lanyard. I put a necklace lanyard on day one.It's heavy but not unmanageable.The camera stabilization is kinda crappy at max zoom. There will be no updates to the software that I'm aware of.Due to the thickness of the phone it is somewhat difficult to type at times, and requires two hand operation. Just a learning adjustment.PROSPhone is a conversation starter with just about anybody.Projector is what attracted me to the Tank 3 Pro. It's not the greatest if the room isn't dark, BUT when zoomed out to cover the entire wall of my bedroom, the quality is still there. You'll notice pixelation if you get real close but it's not enough to bother anybody. Even if you just use the projector for a 12-in screen, it's still worth it for sure.This is day three and as I type this review on the tank 3 my battery sits exactly at 50% I have plugged it in for a little bit here and there when in the car for Android autocamping light is brighter than bright, then has an even brighter setting..There is a red and blue LED strobe above the camping light that can be accessed in the native toolbox app.IR cameras pretty cool but I haven't tried it outside yet.IR blaster native app works really well, better than a lot of the Play store universal remote apps I've used in the past with phones that have IR blasterNative toolbox has lots of cool stuff. Fan control, red blue leds, plumbob, compass, and more.Fingerprint scanner has been nice to have.Call quality has been okay.The speaker is decently loud, however it's not always super crisp due to the location of the microphone. If you're watching something and cup your hand at the bottom of your phone naturally while holding it, sound quality is perfect.Physical durability of the phone, I haven't dropped it yet but it came with a screen protector installed and an extra one as well. The review video that I watched showed someone throwing this phone at a boulder in the side of a cliff over and over again. I was waiting to see how long it would take to break the phone but the phone never broke instead The Rock dislodged from the cliff...I haven't tested the waterproof yet, however from the disassembly reviews of watched, there is a decently thick gasket around the entire phone with a secondary gasket around the cooling fan. I don't see myself going to take underwater pictures, but if I drop it in a bucket of water accidentally I'm not going to stress at all.Compared to the price of any other flagship phone this probably has the best value for your money if you can find a way around the few cons. I paid $680 ish total and received in 2 days.Lastly there's a ton more features I could probably talk about. Some things are definitely different from my other Android phones but all in all I am pleased.

This is a reliable Android for any camping or outdoor entusiast. As soon as you get used to the increased weight, there are so many features that improve phone use. A 25800mAh battery, 97dB loud speaker, whopping 36GB RAM + 512GB storage... great screen size at 6.79"... and the projector is the main feature that is found almost no where else in any smart phone currently available. Battery life supports extremely long use and it works with fast connection speeds on Wifi and Data. The "Camping light" is awesome and the night vision camera mode gives great photos!

UPDATE: PHONE IS OK, BUT SUPPORT IS NON EXISTENT. EVEN THE SUPPORT PAGE PROVIDED TO AMAZON SHOWS PAGE NOT FOUND. IM HAVING MINOR ISSUES WITH IT, AND REACHED OUT TO THEM MULTIPLE TIMES, AND NO RESPONSE!! DO NOT ORDER!5 Star rating from this guy! I absolutely LOVE THIS PHONE!! The projector is worth every bit of that the phone cost me and don't get me started on that absolutely HUGE BATTERY!!! There is only a couple of gripes, because of where the buttons are placed, my hands keep taking screen-shots...lol! And I'm not able to find the native photo gallery. Thats the only concerns I have, at this point, only had it a few days. I work offshore, and not can leave my bulky laptop and tablet at home, because this projector is all i need! I highly recommend this phone! HIGHLY!!

Came in a reasonable time. And works good so far. But..It seems that only certain Sim cards are supported.With its bulk. It is a little too easy from time to time to accidentally hit things you probably shouldn't. And visually. It's an absolute unit, easily the biggest phone I've owned to date. It connects to the internet fine, and it could probably give you a concussion if you drop it on your head. It's definitely tough.

This phone is huge it weighs about 5 lb so far the only thing I can see they could use an upgrade is there's no bass in the speaker but it is loud so that's a plus it is a BRICK I would compare this phone to the old Nokia brick phone if it never died and just kept upgrading if you plan on using it as an everyday I would go with the tank 2 it looks slimmer
