“Why did someone send you a brick?”
This was my wife's first reaction when she saw the Unihertz Tank 3 Pro box. This smartphone stands out from the crowd. Unlike most modern phones that are sleek and thin, this one is thick and hefty, weighing in at 1.5 pounds. It feels more like a self-defense tool than just a phone.
There’s a reason for its bulkiness: it boasts an unbelievable 23,800mAh battery and even includes a built-in DLP projector. yes, this phone can project videos, allowing you to enjoy Instagram reels in style.
I’ve spent considerable time using this device as both an interesting gadget and my main phone.One key takeaway? Don’t hold it over your head; dropping it on your face would hurt much more than dropping an iPhone.
Best Projection Requires Flat Surfaces
The Tank 3 pro is designed to be tough, making it suitable for outdoor adventures like hiking or camping. Its durability against dust and water makes it ideal for rough conditions. Plus,with such long battery life,it's perfect for extended trips.
If you're thinking of watching movies outdoors, consider your setup carefully. You could project onto the side of your tent if it's flat enough or find a smooth rock surface to use as a backdrop. Though, without something flat behind it, the image may not look great—so bringing along some kind of screen would be wise.
Projector Works Best in Dark Environments
The built-in projector has only 100 lumens of brightness—quite low compared to standard projectors. Using it in dim light still results in washed-out images; trying to use it outside during daylight will leave you unable to see anything at all.
For context: A typical 60-watt light bulb produces between 500-700 lumens! The Tank 3 Pro's projector does direct light well but lacks color vibrancy unless you're in complete darkness.
No Need for External Speakers
A standout feature of the Tank 3 Pro is its sound quality; its speakers are impressively loud even at lower volumes. I tested them with a decibel meter—it peaked around 88 dB—similar to common household appliances like blenders or hair dryers.
I found that keeping the volume around thirty percent was enough when sitting close by while watching videos; twenty percent worked fine to if I wanted less noise while enjoying reels nearby.
You likely won’t hold this phone up close anyway unless you want hearing damage! If placed centrally within any room at higher volumes though? It’s loud enough even over popcorn popping!
The projector Drains Battery Quickly
The first thing that caught my attention about this phone was its massive battery capacity—23,800mAh! At first glance I wondered why such size mattered until I started using that projector feature extensively!
this device can also serve as power bank but running video through projection consumes energy quickly compared with other tasks I've tried out on here before! Even after projecting continuously for over an hour only about ten percent drained off which shows how efficient they made their design overall!
A Stand Is Essential
The Tank 3 Pro is sturdy but requires support if you want angled projections onto walls effectively—you’ll need either stand or mount options available nearby too! Initially I used books stacked together precariously (and sometimes aimed straight up towards ceiling) yet those methods weren’t practical long-term since adjusting angles became tedious work each time needed changing position slightly!
A proper stand would stabilize everything better against shaking movements caused by swiping screens during viewing sessions too—it really enhances experience overall when set correctly upon firm surfaces beforehand before starting any movie showings!
