- Analysis by KJ David
The Ulefone Power 5S is a heavyweight literally and figuratively, combining a monstrous battery with a cumbersome 330-gram body that makes it more than 100 percent heavier than the average smartphone as we were reviewing its pros and cons.
Also among its cons is a 2GHz eight-core processor , if only because some of the leading eight-core smartphones on the market do not go for anything slower than 2.6GHz. Additionally, it sticks to a 4GB RAM count , despite its Power 5 mother model packing 6GB on that front.
As for its pros, this Power edition bullies many of its high-endurance rivals with its 13000mAh battery capacity , one of the highest power caps available as of this specs-driven Phonerated evaluation. It promises a 1100-hour standby time (roughly 46 days) and a 52-hour talk time , both of which easily outstripped the corresponding average values when this model entered the market. Joining the mix are its 5V/5A wired Super Fast Charge technology and 10W wireless charging system.
Also making it sound more promising versus a several other semi-high-end contenders is the Power 5S's 21- plus 5-megapixel dual-flash primary camera . Up front, it touts a dual-lens selfie cam consisting of an 8-megapixel primary lens interpolated to 13 megapixels and a 5-megapixel deputy lens -- don't forget to check out our list of the best selfie phones here.
Display-wise, this 2019 Ulefone release offers a respectable 6-inch 18:9 screen with a Full HD+ resolution of 2160 x 1080 and a pixel density score of 404ppi. Matching its screen is the combination of a metal frame and a leather backing , while a 64GB memory extendable by up to 256GB takes charge of the storage front.
With the combo of a fingerprint sensor and a Face ID function rounding out its pros and cons, the Android-8.1-Oreo-running Power 5S calls out to power-hungry users in search of a relatively-stylish, high-stamina Android phone that also flexes some upscale muscles in terms of photography.
