No customer support.

Just received a new armor 9 from Ulefone. Had a huge glitch the first day and will not work now. Been begging Ulefone for a replacement now a refund for over a week now. The only response I got was that I need to do a factory reset. Seeing as you can't navigate through the phone, you cannot get settings to open. No way to reset. Point... Read more

Ordered on Nov 20 and received the phone in Toronto, Canada on Dec 7.
No damage in the package or the contents.
Box was sealed with thin vinyl cover.

So far so

This is the phone, for real men. Not a phone to repair after every slipoff table, or overpriced lame iPhone kids use these days. I love it. I used Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 PRO before this, it has almost same functions, for me even better UI (I like standard Android 10 newsfeed, not Xiaomi distracted like Times square billboards). It has...
