Ok it’s 4G and Android 12, so a little bit behind the times, and weighs over a pound, but it has 65 watt fast charging and a built in 1200 lumen flashlight (I wonder if that doubles as a video light). I found out about it a few days ago and have been fascinated by it since then. The weight isn’t so bad if you consider that it gets rid of the need to bring a power bank.
Not gonna buy real soon but wow. Maybe they will do a 5G version sometime. I posted in another community that I want to be able to pull it out and say “that’s not a phone, THIS is a phone”.
Any thoughts?
There is an updated one called the 8849 Tank 3 running Android 13. It has major upgrades like a 23,800mAh battery, Dimensity 8200, 16GB of RAM and 120Hz screen.
Thanks, interesting, it is not on unihertz’s site. It looks brand new. I wonder if it will be unveiled with the supposedly forthcoming black friday event. Blurb: https://liliputing.com/unihertz-tank-3-smartphone-has-a-23800-mah-battery/
Added: it’s even bigger than the Tank 2, 31mm thick instead of 24mm, several ounces heavier, has 16GB of ram and 120 watt charging, omg. I wonder if it uses 18650 batteries instead of some crazy prismatic pack or whatever is in the tank 2.
This disassembly video suggests that it’s using 4 batteries.
Wow, that guy’s channel is great. TIL that the Pixel 7a battery replacement is easy. I had stayed away from Pixels because with earlier models it was difficult. The 7a is too expensive anyway though.
