Awesome undying phone
So to answer the question that I couldn't find the answer to until I just tried it myself, this phone does work with straight talk in the U.S. I live in rural Missouri and wanted to switch from Verizon mobile plan for a little bit cheaper option. I bought this phone and a straight talk BYOP (Bring your own phone) straight talk gold plan. The straight talk phone plan came with 3 sim cards for AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. I tried using the Verizon and AT&T ones first and they both said my phone was not compatible. But the T-Mobile worked and my was up and running with my in no time. So my review that I have for the phone is just amazing. I just set it up over 24 hours ago and I started with only 70% Battery. Since then I have redownloaded the majority of my apps from my old phone and have watched over 6 hours of Netflix and my phone is currently only at 26% on battery. My old iphone 12 pro would of been dead twice by this point. The camera is alright, nothing to brag about though. The screen quality hoenstly looks better than it's advertised as. The phone is a lot bigger and heavier than most phones but I have already grown use to it. Great buy 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a durable phone with a massive battery. Can't go wrong.

All out great phone
Easy to use it has really good battery life which is good since I play games and listen to audible books at the same time. Size is a plus also louder than any others phone I've had haven't used the camera yet but seems to be pretty big so I'm guessing it'll be nice, All in all I really like this phone

Muy mal telefono poco resistente. Tengo pantalla rota.
La aplicación de camara tiene problemas, intenté reiniciar la aplicación y no funciona. También intenté actualizar el teléfono y tampoco. Creo que es el único gran problema de este teléfono.

Decent HW with just ok SW
I bought this phone as an inexpensive rugged phone expecting medium plus level performance. I have not tested its ruggedness in extreme conditions but after 9 months of usage it is fine. Battery life is way shorter than advertised but better than typical high end phones. The UI is a clean of version of Android that I love. The system or apps occasionally freeze requiring rebooting. Camera is a real disappointment as it is mediocre, at best; I suspect that due to subpar SW, not hardware. The night IT camera is fun though I don't need it. I have not used the satellite communication capability though its existence is a plus in case of emergency in rural areas or in the mountains. I have not dealt with customer service but other reviews mention lack of support in case of need. Given the price and if one accepts the tradeoffs and likes the strong features of this phone then it could be a good purchase.

So far, so good
Edit: I'm knocking off 2 stars for blatant false advertising. I still love the phone, but companies need to be called out when they're lying through their teeth about something as easy to check as charging wattage. Max charging wattage is 40W, not 120W. I've tested with the charger and cord it came with, and several combinations of third party chargers and cords that charge my laptop at 120W and my tablet at 60W, and everything maxes out at 40W for the Ulefone.Original review: I've only had it for a couple weeks, but it's mostly what I hoped for. Bigger than I'd like, but it has some cool features. Satellite messaging was my greatest priority, and it works pretty well when used properly (at least in Colorado). I got Bullitt's Freedom plan (250 messages with a year of activation, 60USD annually) with the Overwatch & Rescue add on (basically SaR insurance, 30USD annually), went with the annual plans because they're reasonably priced and I shouldn't need more than 250 messages a year (but I can top up if needed). The cameras are decent, but don't compare to something like a premium Samsung or iPhone. The night vision works well though. I expected something grainy like an old security camera, but it's sharp and clear. It also has an IR blaster. I haven't used it yet, but I'll set it up with all of my remotes eventually. My old HTC M7 had a blaster, I used it all the time. Battery life is pretty average. Charging speed makes up for that though, if you can get to a fast charger for 30 minutes. The screen unfortunately isn't an OLED like my last few phones, but it's decent. I can see it in sunlight, that's all I really care about. Overall, I'm happy with it for now. Longevity remains to be seen, but as long as it holds up for a couple years, I'll be happy
