What’s in the Box: 8849 TANK 5 Phone

The package includes: 8849 Tank 5 phone, fast charger, phone case, triple-layer shatterproof screen protector, user manual.
Note: A tempered glass screen protector (not a three-layer explosion-proof film) is already pre-applied at the factory, so you can continue using it and do not need to peel it off.

Usage & Safety Note

  1. Projection Function
    For optimal image quality and brightness, it is recommended to use the 8849 TANK 5 phone with a projection distance of 1.5–2 meters. Image resolution and brightness may decrease as the projection distance increases.
  2. Drop Resistance Disclaimer
    Although 8849 rugged phones and tablets have passed IP68/IP69K certification tests, they are still precision electronic devices. Drop resistance may vary depending on factors such as impact angle, surface hardness, and long-term wear. It is strongly recommended to use the original protective case to enhance overall and long-term protection.
  3. Water and Dust Resistance Disclaimer
    This device is rated IP68/IP69K in accordance with the IEC 60529 international standard. Testing is conducted under controlled laboratory conditions in static fresh water (up to 1.8 meters deep for a maximum of 30 minutes). In daily use, exposure to seawater, swimming pool water, soapy water, hot water, or other liquids may reduce protective performance. Do not operate buttons or ports underwater. Water and dust resistance are not permanent and may diminish over time due to normal wear and tear.
  4. Battery and Charging Safety
    The built-in battery of 8849 TANK 5 phone is non-removable. Unauthorized or non-professional disassembly may damage the device and will void water/dust resistance and warranty coverage. Please use original or 8849-certified fast-charging accessories. Charging the device in extremely high or low temperatures, or while the device is wet, may activate protection mechanisms and reduce charging speed. Do not charge the device when it is wet.
  5. Screen and Display
    The 120Hz adaptive refresh rate automatically adjusts according to on-screen content to balance smooth performance and power consumption. Some applications or games may be limited to specific frame rates. The display uses high-strength glass with an anti-scratch coating; however, contact with sand, gravel, or sharp objects should still be avoided.
  6. Storage and Expansion
    The operating system and pre-installed applications occupy a portion of the total storage capacity; therefore, actual available storage is less than the nominal value. For expandable storage, it is recommended to use a UHS-I Class 10 or higher microSD card, formatted as exFAT to support large files.
  7. Dimensions and Appearance
    The size and weight of 8849 rugged smartphones may vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances. Screen size is measured diagonally with rounded corners; the actual visible display area is slightly smaller.
  8. Camera Features
    Camera resolution and functions may be adjusted through software updates. Some shooting modes dynamically change resolution and frame rate. Camera startup and autofocus performance may be affected in extremely low or high temperature environments.
  9. Network and Connectivity
    VoLTE availability depends on local carrier support. Google services (such as Google Pay) may not be available in certain countries or regions. Please verify local compatibility in advance at: https://pay.google.com/about
  10. Accessories and Maintenance
    8849 rugged mobile phones are equipped with waterproof port covers. Before use, ensure all covers are fully inserted and free from wear or damage. If the device becomes wet, wipe it dry and allow it to rest briefly before charging. Do not charge immediately. Regularly clean ports and speaker openings to prevent dust accumulation that may affect performance.
  11. Environmental Adaptability
    Recommended Operating Temperature: 0°C–35°C (32°F–95°F). Battery performance and screen responsiveness may decrease under extreme temperature conditions. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light or chemical solvents may affect the durability and color of the device housing.
  12. Warranty Coverage
    Damage caused by liquid ingress, drops, crushing, unauthorized disassembly or repair, or the use of non-original accessories is not covered under warranty.
  13. Performance Disclaimer
    The dynamic memory expansion (virtual RAM) feature allocates a portion of internal storage as additional system memory. Actual performance gains depend on application load and storage performance. Sufficient available storage space is required to enable this feature.
  14. Durability Notice
    Water, dust, and drop resistance are not permanent features. Protective performance may gradually decline due to daily wear, impacts, and aging. Dust or sand may enter the internal cooling fan and cause it to stop functioning. This issue can usually be resolved by using compressed air, such as at an automotive service shop. Do not intentionally test the device beyond its rated waterproof or drop-resistant limits.
  15. Safety Reminder
    8849 TANK 5 smartphone is equipped with multiple built-in sensors and has been tested and validated by 8849 R&D laboratories. Long-term use in harsh environments—such as strong magnetic fields, high temperature and humidity, or heavy dust—may reduce sensor accuracy and shorten service life.

★★★★★ 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!

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.

El mejor del mercado

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! Heavy, but awesome!

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!

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.

the brick

it's not the fanciest. it doesn't have the big premium snapdragon.
BUT it has a 3 day battery and a projector.

mine did have a little bit of condensation on the projector glass but it cleared out and went away after letting the fans blow for a bit.

The specs and features are appealing

The specs and features are appealing. But it would have been great if the speaker were stereo or maybe upgraded to dolby atmos as it would be great to watch movies with the projector. Also inclusion of a thermal camera would have made it a complete high end phone!

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Moisture forms inside the projector lens occasionally.

Our Shenzhen factory is near the sea with high humidity, so minor ambient moisture may remain inside the phone. When the projector runs, heavy heat evaporates this moisture, forming fog on the lens.Solution: Gently take out the SIM tray and leave the phone in a ventilated area, or use a fan to dry it. Run the projector for several hours to speed up evaporation. Repeat if fog remains. Once fully dried, secure all waterproof rubber plugs tightly to avoid moisture ingress, and the fogging will not recur.

Can I connect the Tank 5 to a Bluetooth speaker or use the Aux output while using the projection function?

Yes.

Which network operators are supported?

8849 rugged phones and rugged tablets are global unlocked devices, suitable for use almost in all countries. They support multiple global languages (you can set them yourself) and work with most major international carriers. Note: 8849 rugged phones and rugged tablets work with Verizon and T-Mobile in the USA, but AT&T and Sprint are not supported.

Are rugged phones unbreakable?

No. Rugged phones are far more drop-resistant than regular phones due to reinforced design, but the screen, camera, and projector glass can still crack if dropped from ≥1.5m onto concrete or gravel.

Use a protective case and tempered glass screen protector. The case absorbs impact, and the protector cracks first to save the screen.

Also, keep charging port seals tightly closed. Loose seals cause water damage. Most manufacturers' warranty policies explicitly exclude water damage caused by improper sealing or normal wear and tear. Even IP68/IP69K rated phones lose water resistance over time due to wear and aging.

How to set Tank 5 One-key Projection

Settings → Shortcut Keys → Func1 Key → Shortcut Settings → Long Press → Projector

Is 8849 rugged phone/tablet resistant to saltwater, seawater, or chlorinated water?

8849 phone/tablet’s water resistance is tested in freshwater. Saltwater, seawater, and common chlorinated water (e.g., diluted disinfectants, pool water, bleaching powder solution, chlorine dioxide solution, chloramine solution) are corrosive. Contact may corrode metal parts, cause button malfunctions, or damage circuit boards. The device’s water resistance does not protect against such corrosive liquids.If the phone/tablet gets into such liquids, immediately take it out, turn it off, rinse with freshwater, wipe dry, and air-dry (do not power on or use high heat to dry).
Note: Such damage is considered improper use and not covered by warranty.
