Why buy the Armor 28 Ultra Thermal
- A thermal camera you always carry. The 640 x 512 thermal sensor shows hot spots in wiring, overheating breakers, failing solar connections, leaking pipes and engine faults, without buying a separate thermal gun.
- Flagship performance in a rugged body. The Dimensity 9300+ handles heavy apps, mapping and long 4K or 8K recording without struggling.
- Proper photo quality. A 1-inch main sensor is rare on rugged phones and helps with detail and low-light shots for site reports.
- Fast charging for a big battery. 10,600mAh with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging means long shifts and quick top-ups during a lunch break.
- Room for everything. 1TB of storage plus a microSD slot holds years of inspection photos, thermal images and video.
