I am making a long-awaited return to ChoiceCheapies, with a repost of a deal first posted last month.
I have discovered that the Ulefone Armor 11 5G 6.1" 256GB ROM 8GB RAM Rugged Smartphone, which was on sale for US$428, is currently available for US$369.99 + $1.57 shipping as a flash deal on Banggood.
Here is a brief overview of its specifications:
Model: Ulefone Armor 11 5G
Display: 6.1" All-screen LCD Multi-Touch HD+ Capacitive display with IPS technology
CPU: MediaTek Dimensity 800 (MT6873) 2GHz Octa-core

Network and Connectivity: Dual SIM 5G (access), 4G VoLTE (simultaneous), 3G and 2G bands
Storage and RAM: 256GB ROM (not expandable), 8GB RAM
Battery: 5200mAh built-in lithium-ion polymer battery, 18W fast charging and 10W Qi wireless charging
Camera: 48MP Main, 20MP Night Version, 2MP Macro and 2MP Depth Sensor 4K Rear Cameras and 16MP Front 1080p selfie camera Penta system
Rugged: Splash, Water and Dust Resistant with IP68/IP69K ratings
You can read the full features and specifications on the Banggood listing and the Ulefone website.
This is a very affordable device for the features it has. I have used Wise to convert the price to New Zealand dollars. You can also opt to pay in New Zealand dollars on Banggood. The Banggood website says you may be able to obtain an additional discount by using their app.
You will get the following in the box, according to the listing:
- 1 Ulefone Armor 11 5G Smartphone
- 1 Data Cable (100cm)
- 1 Type-C to 3.5mm Audio Adapter
- 1 Tempered Glass Screen Protector
- 1 EU Charger (18W)
- 1 SIM Needle
- 2 Waterproof Stoppers for USB Port
I am looking to replace my smartphone with the recently launched Xiaomi Poco F3 256GB ROM 8GB RAM model with Deep Ocean Blue colour. If anyone sees an affordable price for this, sent to New Zealand, please let me know! They were in extremely short supply during the launch sale on Aliexpress, with insufficient stock to meet the anticipated demand. I was very disappointed.
