TANK 3 – odolný 5G telefón s 200 Mpx fotoaparátom a obrovskou 23,800 mAh batériou

The phone is awesome!, it is huge and solid as a rock.
The flashlight is powerful, and the battery really lasts a week, or even more.
The only weak point is the camera, it could be a little better, especially with low light, that's why I don't give it 5 stars.

Like the phone. Haven't put to the test yet using it to tether internet so as to participate in a Karate on line zoom class. That will happen tonight and we will see if it can handle it. Other wise exactly the basic, large battery tough phone I was wanting.

I've had this phone in my mind for about a year, now I finally bought it!
I ordered the phone on a Satuday and was delivered on Wednesday, faster than I thought.
I unpacked it, set it up and all, but I was pretty disapointed when it didn't have all features as displayed.
Of the 16gb Ram you get, 7gb is used by the default system. Not that it's such a big deal, you still have 9gb to work with.
Also the phone doesn't include Rangefinder.
Besides that, it does have a height measurer that is broken..
Even though the Tank has it's negatives I still love the phone!
The Night Vision camera works really well, the camping light also works splendidly!, It has multiple light levels, but the brightest level unfurtunately has a 10 minute cooldown.. Even if you just turn it on for a second.
I'm happy with how fast the phone can do everything.
And the battery is also amazing! I didn't have to immediately charge the phone after unpacking, and I still haven't after 4 days!
The name "Tank" isn't an overstatement it really is what you get!
It's a big and heavy phone but surprisingly fits in my pocket and doesn't really bother me for it's size.
For the price it's absolutely worth it!
Great phone but it has its negatives.

Ich hatte 8849 (Uniherz) schon länger auf meiner Merkliste, da ich ein großer Fan von Outdoor-Smartphones bin. Über die typischen Eigenschaften wie Größe, Gewicht und Dicke war ich mir im Vorfeld bewusst.

Meine Wahl fiel auf das 8849 Tank 3 mit Rangefinder.
Es gibt zahlreiche Bestellmöglichkeiten – von Alibaba bis AliExpress und Co. –, doch das beste Angebot fand ich direkt beim Hersteller auf 8849.tech. Bestellt habe ich zu Ostern, als das Telefon von etwa 650 € UVP auf 430 € reduziert war. Dank eines zusätzlichen Ostergutscheins sparte ich weitere 30 €, sodass ich letztlich rund 400 € zahlte.

Der Bestellvorgang war unkompliziert und verlief problemlos. Innerhalb von drei Tagen wurde die Bestellung bearbeitet, am vierten Tag versandt und am fünften Tag per DHL geliefert.

Das Paket war neutral verpackt, geschützt mit etwas Papier. Leider – wie bei DHL leider öfter – war eine Ecke leicht beschädigt, sodass auch der Handy-Karton kleine Schönheitsfehler aufwies. Ärgerlich, aber kein Weltuntergang.
Positiv hervorzuheben ist, dass 8849 Lager in Deutschland betreibt, was Zoll- und Einfuhrprobleme vermeidet.

Das Gerät selbst kam unversehrt bei mir an. Der Akku war leer, benötigte also zunächst etwas Ladezeit.
Nach der Einrichtung konnte ich das Handy problemlos von Android 13 auf Android 14 aktualisieren. Allerdings ist das letzte Sicherheitsupdate bereits 13 Monate alt – eventuell lässt sich hier manuell noch nachbessern.

Das Smartphone entspricht ansonsten genau der Produktbeschreibung.

Zum Support: Anfangs war der Kundenservice schwer erreichbar, was an einer Umstellung der Webseite lag. Danach war der Kontakt problemlos möglich.
Zwar konnten nicht alle Fragen zu 100 % beantwortet werden, jedoch war die Reaktionszeit schnell und die Hilfestellung freundlich – dafür vergebe ich volle Sterne.

Fazit: Ich kann den Kauf nur empfehlen. Der Preis ist günstiger als bei den gängigen China-Händlern, der Versand aus Europa spart Zeit und zusätzliche Kosten, und der Support reagiert zügig.
Ob sich das Handy auch im Langzeiteinsatz bewährt, wird die Zeit zeigen – aktuell bin ich aber sehr zufrieden. Ein erneuter Kauf ist bei gleichbleibender Qualität definitiv nicht ausgeschlossen.

I'd had the 8849 (Uniherz) on my wish list for a while, as I'm a big fan of outdoor smartphones. I was aware of the typical features like size, weight, and thickness beforehand.

I chose the 8849 Tank 3 with rangefinder.
There are numerous ordering options – from Alibaba to AliExpress and the like – but I found the best deal directly from the manufacturer at 8849.tech. I ordered it around Easter, when the phone was reduced from around €650 RRP to €430. Thanks to an additional Easter voucher, I saved another €30, so I ultimately paid around €400.

The ordering process was straightforward and problem-free. The order was processed within three days, shipped on the fourth day, and delivered by DHL on the fifth day.

The package was plainly packaged and protected with some paper. Unfortunately – as is often the case with DHL – one corner was slightly damaged, so the phone box also had minor cosmetic defects. Annoying, but not the end of the world.
On the positive side, 8849 operates warehouses in Germany, which avoids customs and import issues.

The device itself arrived undamaged. The battery was empty, so it needed some charging time initially.
After setup, I was able to update the phone from Android 13 to Android 14 without any problems. However, the last security update is already 13 months old – perhaps this can still be manually improved.

Otherwise, the smartphone corresponds exactly to the product description.

Regarding support: Initially, customer service was difficult to reach due to a change to the website. After that, contact was easy.
While not all questions could be answered 100%, the response time was fast and the support was friendly – for that, I give it full stars.

Conclusion: I highly recommend the purchase. The price is cheaper than from regular Chinese retailers, shipping from Europe saves time and additional costs, and support responds quickly.
Time will tell whether the phone will perform well in the long run – but for now, I'm very satisfied. If the quality remains the same, I'm definitely not going to rule it out.
