But it wasn’t until I took my first tea break of the day that I realized how the laptop form factor is weirdly cumbersome. If I want to keep reading an article while putting the kettle on, I have to cradle my device like a cold, aluminum baby. Apple’s solution to this is Continuity: open your phone, call up the task switcher and a bar along the bottom invites you to transfer your current task onto your handheld device. It’s not exactly seamless, and the switchover does take some time. With the Surface Book, task-switching is more intuitive: press the keyboard button, wait a moment, and pull the screen off to take it with you.

From the outside, the Armor 3 is strongly reminiscent of other Chinese-made rugged phones we’ve covered recently. Indeed, the design of this phone is very similar to the Doogee S80, although the Ulefone handset has a marginally smaller screen, and as a result, it weighs a little less.

There’s a certain novelty, after decades at a legacy media company, in playing for the team that’s winning big.

WiFi is of the speedy 802.11ac variety, Bluetooth is at Version 5.0, and there’s a 13-megapixel autofocus camera with flash. And the CT40 has four onboard sensors (light, proximity, gyro, accelerometer).

OUKITEL’s WP1 is a mid-range handset that ordinarily costs around $237.74, shipping with a 5.5-inch HD+ panel with an 18:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 720 x 1440. Just above that display is a 5-megapixel selfie-shooter with FaceID unlock features while rolling the handset over reveals a Sony IMX135-based 13-megapixel primary snapper with a 2-megapixel secondary sensor. Underneath that, and driving Android 8.1 Oreo OS, is a MediaTek-built octa-core MT6763T clocked at 2.0GHz backed up by a Mali G71 GPU with a clock frequency of 2.7GHz. Processing is backed up by 4GB RAM and 64GB of expandable storage — minus the storage that’s taken up by the OS — up to 128GB via microSD card. A 5,000mAh battery powers that package enabled with ‘quick charge’ at 9V/2A. Wireless Qi fast charging works too, at 10W. OUKITEL claims that powerhouse can be charged up via the former method in as little as two hours and ten minutes while the wireless method takes just an hour longer.

We are getting close, but what I would like to see is a device you can use as your phone, take with you and plug into the dash to use in the car, and pull out and take to the office. Just attach power and HDMI, and off you go from work to car to home and back again. In this dream there is a universal connector that can actually supply power and HDMI so you can plop into universal power ports (leave the cables at home).

Admittedly, Google has consigned many apps that won’t play by its rules to the bin recently. But Poptel needs to push out a new OS release and remove the offending app as part of that upgrade before some customers start to think the worst.
