Rugged smartphones have been increasing significantly lately as most already established and upcoming Chinese OEMs are all having their own tugged smartphone series. The Vernee Active is a new addition to the list with a nice build and mouth watering spec sheet. So you get a smartphone with a dust and water proof certification and a fairly powerful hardware.

The Vernee Active smartphone is quite a good looking one and compared to other tugged devices a tad less bulky. It boasts of a solid build reinforced with Kevlar military grade material for protection. The smartphone also has slightly reduced side bezels although still very much visible and weighs just about 189g.
Vernee Active adopts a JDI LCD screen same used in iPhones with a resolution of 1920 X 1080 pixels. The 5.5-inch display also s bolstered by a pixel density of 401 ppi and a rich colour garnut.
Battery and CameraThere’s a fairly large battery on the Vernee Active which according to Verne would supply up to 3 days of power. The smartphone comes with a 4, 200mAh battery capacity alongside the fast charge technology to back it up.
Similar to a number of mid-range smartphones the Vernee Active smartphone has a 16MP rear camera accompanied by an 8MP selfie camera. With this you should be able to get decent pictures although low light pictures might not be as appealing.
Hardware and SoftwareVernee went all out when it comes to the smartphone’s hardware. The Vernee Active smartphone sports an Octa-core MediaTek Helio P25 SoC clocking at a maximum of 2.5GHz. To n addition, there’s an ARM Mali-T880 MP2 GPU which is one of the best from MediaTek and delivers good graphics munching.
Also, the smartphone has a massive 6GB internal memory which is more than enough for installing apps and multi-tasking with ease. For storage you’d get a 128GB space with a chance to expand to 256GB which I doubt most people will use. The smartphone boots the Android 7.0 OS and you might get an Oreo update later on.
Pricing and AvailabilityThe smartphone is available in various online shopping centres and some smartphone outlets. The Vernee Active has a price ranging from 99, 000 naira to 135, 000 naira depending on your location and vendor.

The Vernee M5 is a nice well built smartphone with metallic unibody design and overall good ergonomics. It also has well rounded edges and not too large bezels although not slim either. The fingerprint sensor is located at the back just below the camera like other device while at the front the navigation keys are on-screen.
Vernee however opts for an HD display which is pretty much generic but is actually not really a bad thing considering the smartphone is in the budget category. The Vernee M5 has a 5.2-inch 1280 X 720 pixels with a pixel density of 282 ppi.
Battery and CameraIn terms of battery capacity the Vernee M5 is a little above the most used 3, 000mAh battery capacity with a 3, 300mAh non removable Li-Ion battery. This should last for a day without no problem under normal circumstances. However, there is fast charge feature which allows you to get a full charge in no time.
The camera featured on this smartphone is pretty much what most of it’s peers have. There’s a 13MP rear camera coupled with an 8MP front camera. Camera set up like this takes decent pictures with enough light of while low light picture is usually characterized by a lot of noise.
Hardware and SoftwareThis is the area probably where the price cuts really sets in as the Vernee M5 comes with an Octa-core MediaTek MT6750 processor. In combination with an ARM Mali-T860 MP2 GPU which does well to handle graphics munching smoothly.
Vernee is quite generous when it comes to the internal memory on this smartphone. The Vernee M5 comes with a whopping 4GB RAM and a 64GB built-in storage space expandable to 256GB with a memory card. Also, the smartphone runs on Android 7.0 Nougat OS straight from the box.

As its name suggest the Ulefone Power 3 is a power juggernaut which is something you would know if you’re acquainted with their Power smartphones series. It does not only boast of a large battery capacity it also has some amazing hardware inside which will definitely attract a you if you are a tech person. The spec sheet is absolutely impressive, so let’s get into it already.

The Ulefone Power 3 adopts the 18:9 aspect ratio which is nice and give it a more premium look. It also comes with a supposedly bezel-less display and an 90.8% display ratio which I doubt is the case The Ulefone Power 3 has fairly visible side bezels although the top and bottom bezels have been trimmed down a bit.
You could not have asked for a better display as the Ulefone Power 3 sports a 6.0-inch 2160 x 1080 pixel display which also known as a 2k or FHD+ display backed up by a pixel density of 402ppi. The display is crisp with nice colour reproduction which would serve well for VR and AR use.
Battery and CameraLike the other smartphones in the Power series, the Ulefone Power 3 has a giant 6, 080mAh battery capacity and combine with the Helio P23 chip it should fair well and last for a much longer time compared to your average smartphone. This means you can game and watch movies without having to plug your phone in constantly.
On paper a Quad camera is a very nice arrangement , however, this does not usually ensure a stellar picture. Although it would do well to increase its picture quality it is not a criterion. That being said, the Ulefone Power 3 has a dual 16MP + 5MP rear camera nad a 13MP + 5MP front camera.
Hardware and SoftwareThere is a significant bump in the hardware featured in the Ulefone Power 3 compared to its predecessor. It features an Octa-core MediaTek Helio P23 which in a way is still mid-range but in combination with the new ARM Mali-G71 MP2 GPU is a quite powerful SoC.
In addition, the Ulefone Power 3 features a massive 6GB RAM which would definitely ease app multi tasking greatly. Aside that there is a 64GB built-in storage which appears to be the standard for most top notch mid-range smartphone with a chance to expand up to 256GB using the memory card in the second sim slot. An interesting thing is that the Ulefone Power 3 comes with an Android 8.1 Oreo Update but still boots the Android 7.0 Nougat.
Pricing and AvailabilityUlefone Power 3 is available for sale in select online stores and smartphone outlets. The price ranges from about 80,000 Naira to 110,000 Naira depending on your location and the deal you were able to find.
