★★★★★ Absolutely fantastic phone – the built-in projector is incredible!

The 8849 Tank 5 is probably the most useful and interesting phone I’ve ever used. It’s easy to operate, has a very good screen, excellent picture quality, and lots of useful additional features.

But the built-in DLP projector is what really makes this phone special. It works surprisingly well and being able to take your phone out of your pocket and project a large image onto a wall is simply amazing. It’s one of those features that you have to see for yourself to appreciate. Definitely the biggest “wow” factor of this phone!

The only small downside is that the projector can be quite loud because of the cooling fan. But honestly, that’s something I can easily get used to considering what the phone is capable of.

Overall, I’m extremely impressed with the Tank 5. It’s practical, unusual, powerful, and packed with features. The projector is an absolutely fantastic bonus and makes this phone stand out from anything else I’ve used.

Highly recommended!

Reviewing the Tank 5 is not easy because it belongs to a small niche and tries to fulfill very specific needs. I can't be fully objective because everyone will have different reasons to pick this device and the end result will vary. I rated it 4 stars in the most objective way possible, although my personal score would be a bit lower. By the end of this long review I will try to explain why.

UNBOXING & ACCESSORIES
The Tank 5 arrives in a standard black box. Not much padding is provided inside, but I guess that the device doesn't need it. I was happy to see it packaged with a 120W charger, a USB C to C cable, a spare screen protector and a TPU case. The screen protectors are plastic, so they scratch easily and show a lot of fingerprints. The case fits perfectly and the material is nice, but I'm not a fan of the big opening on the back. Be careful when installing it, it's very tight and it might scratch the rubber corners.

DESIGN & BUILD
The design of the Tank 5 feels premium and polished, and the build quality is exceptional. It doesn't feel like a cheap generic product, but rather a solid device that was made with lots of care and effort. I don't think that it's too heavy either: sure, 715g is a lot for a phone, but it's not very dense for its size. I've found the shape to be very comfortable in the hand, more than a regular thin smartphone. It's even better when holding it horizontally for videos or gaming the lack of a camera bump, combined with the thick body and rounded corners, makes it sit very nicely in your palms. My only complaint is the lanyard hook, which sticks out too far and digs into your hands.

DISPLAY QUALITY
The display is gorgeous, definitely my favorite thing about the device. It's a really good OLED panel with very high resolution, great colors, perfect contrast and virtually no ghosting - which happens on even more expensive devices. The 120hz refresh rate, although not the highest in the business, is on par with most modern flagships and won't disappoint even while gaming. The maximum brightness is okay and usable outside, but definitely nowhere near the advertised 3000 nits. It's not as visible in the sun as my iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has a HBM brightness of 1800 nits. The light sensor is also not very good, so I don't use the adaptive brightness.

CAMERA QUALITY
The camera hardware in this smartphone is actually pretty good, especially the main 50MP Samsung sensor. The problem is that the software behind it isn't great, so the result will be pretty average. The main camera produces okay pictures for social media, but you won't compete with an actual flagship. The telephoto and front camera results are disappointing, with inaccurate colors and aggressive processing. The stabilization works poorly, which results in shaky videos, and there's some lag while zooming. The infrared camera is good, although it doesn't quite reach 15 meters of range. Overall, I wouldn't buy this phone for the cameras.

MAIN FEATURES
The two main reasons why you buy this phone are the battery and the projector. I don't really care for the projector that much, but I confirm that the image quality is great and keystone correction works well. The projector cooler is also shared with the other components, which is great for gaming. Battery life was the main selling point for me: you can play games all day long, or use it normally for 3 or 4 days. Waterproofing gives you some peace of mind, but I wish that they removed the rubber flap over the usb port and audio jack.

SOFTWARE & UI
I hope the Tank 5 will be successful enough that the company can invest some money in the software department, cause it's not great right now. The experience feels basic and unrefined, there aren't many customization options and even some essential features are missing. For example, you cannot change the UI scale and some apps appear unusually tiny. I wish they would just buy the license for something like OxygenOS or RedmagicOS.

PERFORMANCE & GAMING
I've left the most important thing for last, because it's what disappointed me the most. The hardware is great on paper: the Dimensity 9400e is very powerful, plus you have fast UFS 4.0 storage and 18GB of DDR5X RAM. If you're playing Android games, that will be great: you can play COD Mobile or NTE at the highest settings with good framerates. Unfortunately, Mediatek is closed-source and doesn't have third-party driver support. This makes it practically useless for emulation purposes. Moreover, there is no proper game mode, so you can't set up power profiles and the fan won't turn on automatically under load.

CONCLUSIONS
The Tank 5 is a great device that combines top tier specs and awesome features in a well designed package. It's probably the best rugged phone you can buy right now. Unfortunately, it falls short of its full potential due to the unrefined software and poor processor choice. I really hope that the Tank 6 will offer a Snapdragon 8 Elite...

The charger is no good

Hyvä puhelin.

I love everything about the Tank 5... except for the camera system. The anti-shake seems almost non-existent, and the focus is twitchy and responds slowly or not at all. But that seems like something that can be corrected in an upcoming update of the firmware, so I hope 8849 comes out with one soon. Also, at extreme projection angles, a pop-up warns that the angle is too great for the auto keystone correction every 3 seconds and never stops. Please make it stop after 2 warnings because I'm ok with a bit of distortion. So yeah, a software update would make it 5 stars.

Un peu long mes sa va et peux plus petit que le tank X

Amazing phone. Long long long battery life. Fast processor and great projector. The included case makes the phone easier to grip too.

Jest OK

It tales a moment to set up and get used to the Tank 5, as the UI is Android but behind current iterations and so tge menu system feels unrefined and a touch clunky by comparison.

That said, everything it says it can do it does with no fuss whatsoever. I'll take some more time to get used to it all but the standout features are fantastic so far, its just getting the UI on point to feel that bit more intuitive and easy to navigate.

I love this phone. I dropped it once and felt bad for the floor.

Vielen Dank

Era justo lo que estaba buscando, es el único teléfono que cumplen con todos los requisitos para los usuarios que trabajen en la obra 🏗️, Resistencia, potencia, batería, cámara muy buenas.

Sin duda la mejor compra que he hecho, ahora mi duda en si debería de haber comprado la tablet ultra, ya que puede ser más cómoda y versátil a la hora de presentar proyectos sin necesidad de usar el proyector.
-
Tanto el Tank 5 como la Tablet Ultra son una bestia, me decantó más por el Tank 5 ya que es un smartphone, y muchas aplicaciones tienen su interfaz adaptada a la de un smartphone, eso es uno de los problemas de la Tablet y la única pega.

Sin duda para el trabajo es una herramienta 100% necesaria.

Its a great phone! Charged it to 90% used the phone for quite some hours and it is still working really great. 55% now at 23:00

It is really heavy but it's nice holding actually. The tools are great. Lights are really strong as well. I'll make a video on my YouTube channel soon: svenzwaaneveld

The projector is strong as well. In daylight it's not very strong, outside it's hard to see, but when it's dark it's really beautiful. Just like a TV! The quality is very nice and crystal clear image!

Endlich in Deutschland angekommen . Ich liebte schon das Tank 3 Pro und finde das Tank 5 einfach nur Klasse das Teil.

Great phone. The only issues I have is the speaker isn't very good and the projector lens gets moisture buildup after 30mins of use.

I have one complaint, the speakers aren't great, the projector on the other hand is fantastic, easy to use and high quality!(Don't look derictly into it though, it hurts a lot). It is also always funny to see others reactions when I take my brick (phone) out in public.

Best long laating batter and functioning projector!

This phone is INSANE. Flagship performance with heaps of features. And the projector is incredible. Awesome phone.

Love everything this phone as to offer cool extra tools available battery size incredible the wifi speed really good was faster then any other phone works well with low signal too , and I mainly got this phone for the projector been following for awhile checking update and once I saw new preorder for tank 5 pro I just had too now gonna use daily because the speed of this phone amazing

There is nothing to dislike about this item. I had the Tank 4 Pro and instantly fell in love with it. I've owned other rugged phones and Unihertz/8848 became my home brand. The 8849 Tank 5 is a BEAST and provides the features that live up to my lifestyle and I get tons of compliments for this BRICK.
