A Dimensity 8200-powered smartphone with a huge battery, a more powerful 120W charger, a headphone jack (FM radio built-in), two nano SIMS & a DEDICATED microSD slot??? What a rarity & definitely a perfect backup phone for me.
I've got the original tank and it's not let me down in about 2 years. Everyone who sees it laughs but I just charge it once a week and laugh at them when they ask "have you a iPhone charger cable I can use my battery is about to give up" 😮 great review.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the tank 2! It's great to hear that it has been reliable for you for 2 years. My Tank 2 Projector phone is still going strong, used it a lot. Shows that the brand makes reliable products.
@@ChigzTech Bro can you install custom rom on it? I know it's mediatek but still if they would have given a snapdragon it would have been a cherry on top. :D Please do let me know about the custom ROM.
@@ChigzTech Bro also, can you not review it again and use it as A portable desktop? You can install windows emulator, play AAA windows games on the massive screen. Please do this as no one has done it. I am sure if you connect it with a bluetooth mouse and a keyboard it can be used as a portable desktop as it's projector will have a big screen.
This is the kind of phone for gamers and movie lovers who likes to spend time in isolation,specially when going camping or travelling alone at far distances.
If you just build a seperate projector with built in battery that you can detach and attach when you only need to the phone it would be great. You can put a docking system on the projector that you can only dock it on your own brand phone that can also benefit on projectors battery.
@@sabkosupport140 how.? An external mini proyector exist. You just attach it to the USB C. That doesn't change the USB C cine to water resistant in the already existent one in the tank phone
Yeah and just tu turn it in to something like Galaxy's dex mode .. i mean a dedicated softwere and sysstem thats got special perks and gimmicks that would make this a fan faworite..👍👍👌👍😎👍👍💪👍😎
Exactly, it lacks the thermal camera you find in CAT Regarding sound you’re probably better of dragging along a 10W-15W Bluetooth speaker with some valid bass…
i picked the doogee v20 pro bc of the thermal. tank 2 was my second pick. if the tank 4 comes out with a decent camera set up (64mp main + thermal) i would be hard pressed not to get it. what would seal the deal is a light half the size and one of those "120db" speakers.
This is basically the ultimate camping phone and because of this I just ordered it. Amazon doesn't sell it, which is why it took me watching this video, to even know there was a tank 3.
bruu I use this phone as my day to day phone xD have a sports over shoulder bag which fits the phone perfectly and bam easy carry and access. I've got soo used to having it, normal phones feel like papper and cheap. guys at my work are having to charge their phones daily whilst I'm doing it once a week. and other day, we had a power cut, ow look I had a torch on hand ^ ^ then I've already been camping with it, just normal camping but having a projector soo small, not as a extra thing to carry is great. honestly best thing i've ever brought. people are just too used to having phones be "how slim can we make it and reduce the weight"
Dude, this phone is like... totally out of this world! Imagine having a movie theater in your pocket, except way less creepy than that one time Uncle Steve showed us vacation pics on his phone. This thing projects movies and stuff, and it's got like a bajillion GB of RAM, which is basically the brainpower of a million squirrels on Red Bull. The only downside is it's about as heavy as a textbook, but who needs textbooks when you can watch dino documentaries on the fly, right?
Brought 1 yesterday, holy crap to be honest I'm thinking why after feeling how heavy this thing is. BUT I'm willing to adsorb this fact due to how long it will last because I travel a LOT through multiple countries/airports and have many blackouts in Vietnam where I live (I'm an Aussie expat). Definitely can't hold it up for too long you will have to rest the bottom on something any more than 10mins. Battery is currently at 88% after charging less than 24hrs ago, but it's had hard use with me setting it up and testing everything and I have it set up for hardcore sexy looking settings/RAM.
@@iankathurimakinyua1145 still have the plastic cover on it lol will use it sometime. Have seen comparisons between the tank 2 and 3 projectors 3 looks way better.
I think for the price that's incredible piece of kit. Where was the sound from a it from the phone or bt to another speaker? Tbh i was expecting you to say it cost 2k.😮
Amazon has it for $600 and some change! Great review on something i never existed. I will be ordering it just for the projector! Who is the carrier to have this phone activated?
Ultra Short Throw versions would be awesome as they can give a sharper image as it can reflect closer to walls. Also screen is not interrupted by people walking in front of it.
@ Update is , this is my favorite smartphone ever. I love the screen, the battery, the projector is excellent . It a really good phone well worth the price.
@@Tristinfate how fooooking heavy is this! can you kill someone throwing this at their head! heck can you actually build houses with this brick! im impressed and never knew this phone heck this company existed! Well done China again!!!!! Will keep an eye on this!
The projector function is great, I wonder why we haven't seen this function in any other smartphone. It would be great for the Google Pixel, instead of this heat measurement
ive had the tank 2 for almost a year and a half still a great phone battery lasts 6 days thats with me listening to music through headphones every day at work came from a samsung with terrible battery life ! i love the features the bright lights the laser projector i use often in a dark room to watch youtube just a brilliant unique idea that works !!
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Tank 2, it's great to hear you're enjoying all the features! I love my Tank 2 and have used it a lot since launch, and its still going strong.
idk if it was in this video or another video that I just watched about this phone, but they said it dropped ~10% after using the projector for an hour, so it should last pretty long!
While I appreciate the beefy specs and I have a soft spot for all projector phones, the elephant in the room for me is that Moto Mods implemented this more practically nearly a decade ago. I still use my Z2 Force w/ projector mod today and it’s much more pocketable than that. Sure it doesn’t have a 23k battery, but I plug it into a 23k battery and wake up the next day with the projector still running. If you’re looking for a projector phone, you can get it for $200 and it will be ultra pocketable and usable as a phone since the projector is removable with a quick pull.
Ive never understood the thinness trend. I'd rather it be ergonomically shaped to fit in the hand (this still isnt, but closer), and that gives room to add things we used to take for granted like headphone jack and SD card slot. It would be nice if it also had good speakers (im assuming the sound in the video was external speakers?) and USB (not type C) ports to plug in mouse and keyboard without adapters. Definitely tempting, but a wall sized image at 480p, eh...
Looks awesome bro. Would not be very practical as a daily driver though as heaving that monster around won't be easy. But as a camping accessory, it's an outright winner
Totally agree, man! It's a bit of a handful for daily driving. Tank 2 is more suitable as a daily smartphone. But this makes camping trips extra awesome!
its possibly a thousand dollar phone where im at but with this kinda tech and beautiful projection and features i think its worth it. Will possibly buy this instead of an Iphone.
I used to watch police squad on my TV where Leslie Neelson takes a siren and puts it on the car now there is no need for a TV and just added functionality for a phone
Im running the tank 3 regular and i love it i will probably one day upgrade to the pro 18 gb ram version at some point but for now im happy with my phone for the time being its been almost a year and i love it
I have the tank 2 projector phone, I love this phone. I want to get the tank 3 pro. But my only problem is no updated software or security patch for the price points, you want to much money for the phone.
Great review what an absolute beast. I would love a phone like this - without the projector. The search continues but this is a very very impressive thing. The glaring weakness in all these rugged smartphones is of course the screen - the most fragile part. So to complete the package we would need the tempered glass protector and a tough rugged flipcase. Great video thank you.
I need to know if it can project real time on the web browser or on any app? For example let's say I have a horse racing app that shows live racing can it project that?
Whaaat this thick phone design to give proper space for huge battery is exactly what I was looking for!!! And I just bought a new phone, for the next purchase I know this exist.
Nice review. Great to have this as an option. I've find that for the conditions I project in, I need 400 lumens. Perhaps the Tank 4! Shame about commitment to updates.
So.... if you have a lower resolution video.... That might actually be more then enough.... and look good. There clearly seems to be more then resolution that is important here..... Although 720p sounded like.... perfect for me..... but I guess they tested and figured out it was better to go lower resolution somehow.

As of 8/16/24, Amazon is selling the phone now, I just bought one. Excited!
Okay, this has to be one of the most unique smartphones (or smart projectors) I've ever seen! It even allows you to pull people over on the highway! 🤣
Lol not going to lie I showed up home drunk and did this to my cousins they came out hands up lol
The projector globes only last a certain amount of hours. What happens when it needs replacing ?
Its LED projector. That means mininal 20.000 hours of life

Projecting directly on the wall clearly amazing

I want one without the projector and use that extra space for more battery and casing, now that's a work phone for life.
Check out their site, you can pick one up now.
whats that a PDA?
UHF and VHF built in ? What size is the antenna for PMR radio ?
does the heat from the dlp projector when its running, spread to the rest of the phone?
Would’ve been nice if you could use the projector as a “laser level” on walls. Kinda fits the theme of the device.
Wow! It's an absolute beast 💪

What about the sound while watching a movie on the projector, can you connect to speakers hard wire or Bluetooth?
