8849 Tank 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. PROS Phone 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 auto camping 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 blaster Native 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!

Va el tercer teléfono que compro, el mismo, porque me gusta lo amo, es perfecto para mi, pero tuve que devolver el segundo país vino roto, el tercero a los dos meses me pidió actualizarlo a Android 15, lo hice y no anda el wifi ni el Bluetooth, busqué información y es problema de software, hablo con la empresa respaldada por amazon y me dicen que pasaron los 30 días que hable con los de tank, hablo con ellos dicen que es responsabilidad de amazon, uno se tira la pelota al otro y nadie te ayuda, el problema es ese, y sino me creen, los dueños de estos teléfonos hagan la actualización y verán que no miento. La cosa que para cobrar, de una, para responder nunca... no recomiendo a esta gente...

This thing is a beast of a phone. I got this specifically for power outages in camping, and it's been amazing.My family hasn't enjoyed anything quite like this to build in projectors it must happen curve to be more useful than you could think

EDITED. AT&T is the only phone service that works with 5G. Anything else will either not work (like Cricket). When in call with AT&T they did tell me that the phone was only meant for "3G" network so it may not be "5G" This also was a bit of an issue initially but support helped it out. Overall, the phone is solid, a little big to use, but honestly easily manageable. Here are probably some important things you need to know. Don't use any other charger other than the box charger. I've tried other chargers, all fast chargers and none will charge the phone as quickly as the one in the box. Unsure why, but when using the box charger. It does its job almost certainly in about 1 hour to 1.5 hours. Any other charger, and I had it go from 20% to 70-ish or so overnight, sleeping. ALSO, USING THE BOX CHARGER WILL MAKE THE PHONE HOT. I am talking hot to a point where it might scare you, but this seems to be normal. I suggest keeping it on a cold surface. Car Bluetooth is finicky. I've never had an issue with my car (2016 Chevy Cruze) and its Bluetooth until this phone. It's constantly choppy, and will just straight up "Break" and stop. Sometimes, it'll choose to work, or seem fine, but then go back to being choppy. The UI is pretty basic honestly. I hope they push updates out and have the UI do more QoL things like "recent apps" used and when searching for an app can be difficult depending. You forget/add an extra one letter or aren't too specific it won't show anything. Compared to my Samsung 2020 phone, it could be improved over time. Overall its okay, the other features are neat and the IR Camera is surprisingly really clear for such an unsual aspect to a phone. The camera is also rather solid overall. Would recommend if you're fine with the issues stated. As the advertisement is fairly accurate.

The phone is awesome; it meets most of my expectations. Among the highlights: study, trusty feel in the hand; great memory capacitor (and expandable); quick charging and slow draining; lightning-speed downloads; has compatibility with most apps I've used; easy-manage control buttons; wide screen; highly customizable interface. I enjoy the camping light and easy pull-down screen access to various controls. The media audio is robust. One of my favourite features is the built-in projector: I can view photos, text, and applications on large screen in real time. One of my main disappointments is the incoming phone call audio, which is rather flimsy for such an otherwise super and superb phone; with the receiving volume at full loudness, one can barely hear the incoming voice. Is there a built-in application to improve this? The photo quality is also a huge letdown for a photo enthusiast such as I. My cheap Samsung phone takes far more appealing photos, in terms of colour resolution, saturation, image definition, and exposure. I feel like I should receive some form of compensation for putting so much interest and trust in a phone I like so much, only to find these flaws that I have highlighted.

Have had this phone for 3 days. So far it's been amazing. When first booting it up warned me that some T-Mobile features wouldn't be available, but so far everything related to the mobile network seems fine. The phone has had a few glitches at first with 2 or 3 apps freezing up for a second when clicked, but after the first charge they've seemed to go away. Battery life so far has been amazing. 45 minutes to go from 20 percent to 80, and it lasts almost an entire work week. The projector is awesome for watching movies in the downtime. The speakers aren't the highest quality, but are clear and very loud. Screen looks amazing, better than some of my amoled devices. Honestly I could go on, but there are just so many amazing things about this phone. I cannot recommend it enough. My only qualm is no support for Android 15 or 16. If it did have future support, I would say this is the best phone on the market.

This phone is a bit large and heavy, but is very tech savvy, fun, and rugged. I bought for my grandson who has large hands and pockets. It comes with a screen protector, however we bought one that fits the phone. The phone a a projector light so that you can actually project a movie or video onto a screen or wall. It has excellent storage for applications and games. All in all a great phone for a small price. We married the phone to a prepaid carrier for cheap, all inclusive service.

Llegó muy bien en buen estado y funciona a la perfección si claro es pesado porque es para hombres 😃

بالبدايه ماعرفت اشحنه لكن جربت كثير وشريت له محول وضبط معي الحمد لله

Pesado pero excelente

Tengan prevision de checar que no es compatible con todas las compañías de servicio de telefónico lo que me llevo a que solo lo uso para todo menos para llamadas telefónicas y ahora aparte de lo robusto y pesado tengo que cargar con otro teléfono solo para llamadas, ya que tengo un plan lo la compañia atual que se paga por todo un año y que es muy econmico por 12 gb que me da al mesy tenerme que cambiar de compañia solo para poder tener telefono en tank 3 pues sale mas caro porque el servicio en las compañias compatibles con el tank 3 son muy muy caras. y todo poruqe a pesar de que vi videos y demas y aqui mismo en amazon nunca precisaron eso
