Unihertz Atom XL, The Smallest DMR Walkie-Talkie Rugged Smartphone Android 11 Unlocked 6GB+128GB (Support T-Mobile & Verizon only)

After researching rugged smartphones I came across the Atom XL 4G smart-phone with integrated FRS/GMRS/DMR walkie-talkie. I really liked the idea of having a rugged phone with a smaller screen, and I liked the idea of having an integrated analog FRS/GMRS walkie-talkie for when we travel to areas without cell phone reception. The walkie-talkie function also supports digital DMR. Let me tell you, I couldn't have been happier with the phone. The rugged phone with its 4" screen feels extremely well built and fits well in my hand for single hand operation. It is a bit heavier than my previous phone at 243.5g, but that is to be expected with its IP68 and United States Military Standard MIL-STD-810G ratings as well as with the integrated walkie-talkie functionality. It has great battery life and a bright screen, which is important here in sunny Florida. I am using the phone with T-Mobile without any issues. One of the reasons I bought this phone was due to the support of all of the T-Mobile 4G LTE bands (2, 4, 5, and 66), as well as the Extended Range 4G LTE band (12). While Unihertz does not officially state that the phone supports band 71 on their website, it is stated on the official website of Mediatek that the processor used in this phone (Helio P60) supports T-Mobile's band 71, so I am hopeful that is the case. I must admit that I was a bit reluctant to buy a phone that had just come off of its Kickstarter campaign, but after using it for a week now, I must say that I have no regrets and I even bought a second one for my wife.

Phone is great so it was dissapointing when at&t didnt work

I have had my phone for 3 days now. I haven't charged it since the day it came in the box and its still running at 19%. It's a really solid and well built phone....I have not dropped it or gotten water on it yet, but in general it's a brick. Camera is FANTASTIC. Speaker is FANTASTIC. I'm coming from a Moto G, for referene. which in all honesty is a budget phone, I had it for 2 years. But I'm so impressed with my new one. I took it to verizon and they fumbled around trying to get me service. Went to ATT the next day, and the store manager immediately popped out his sim card, inserted and said "we can get you service!" So those of you who are struggling to get service on this phone, tell the clerk to put a sim card in. That's the trick. Don't spend hours wasted on hold waiting for someone to find the phone in their system. Life. Hack.I'll also say, ATT was super impressed with this rugged phone and wants to carry it in the store (Sheridan Wyoming) the only rugged they had ran about $700 and it wasn't nearly as robust as this phone.Yes, the screen is smaller...but it's very smooth and up to date. I just love this thing. What a win.

TL;DRThis phone is amazing. In all reality, the only con is the screen brightness in the sun, but I can deal. I've been using it for a month or so now alongside Tasker and Lightning Launcher Extreme and couldn't be happier.-This phone is possibly the best phone I've ever had. The fact that it's unlocked gives it much more prestige.-It is an incredibly snappy phone.-It fits in my pocket and I can use it comfortably with one hand!-The android update (Android 10) gives it great support with apps.-Using it with the AT&T Bring Your Own Phone sim kit with Straight Talk and the service is awesome.-The smaller screen may seem like a bad thing but you can binge Twitch, YouTube, playing games...anything for hours because the phone has less pixels to push AND it has a decent size battery (4300mAh).-Speaker is nice and loud if you need it to be (usually I don't and have it at 50-75% even for alarms and such).-The stock alarms are a great collection of birds chirping, water sounds and noticeable chimes.-The device handles heat very well. Spent 3 hours driving with it mounted to the windshield while it was hot out and had no AC and the device didn't even slow down or drain extra battery while using the GPS.-I've dropped the phone by accident a few times now and the phone hasn't seemed to be affected by it.-The quick charge is another awesome thing with this phone AND it uses USB 3(I know a lot of phones have this, but still a great plus).-I've already gotten used to the red "intelligent button" on the side and have switched around the actions a little to make using it easier for myself.-The NFC chip is very quick as well.-The Intelligent Assistant has a bunch of great things that give the phone greater quality of life changes such as the app blocker, which has 4 options for EVERY app (Boot Locker, Start Blocker, Background Blocker, and Background Cleanup). Definitely look into this part of the assistant if you want to maximize your battery life. (I can use my phone regularly for 3 days without having to charge.)-I don't have any bluetooth or wifi issues.-I haven't used the headphone jack or radio yet.I really can't think of any notable cons. I absolutely love this phone. If this changes in the future, be sure I'll update my review once again.

Was excited to find a rugged and compact phone. Had such high hopes but this buy fell flat. I have a full charge in Am barley use it and it's dead by mid afternoon. Can't even last 1 full day. I have to charge it for a while before it will even come back on. I love how compact it is. But sometimes texting can be a pain due to just how small the key board is. Also sometimes it will randomly shut off even when it has a full battery. Also sometimes will end call when press power button but not always. Very glitchy. Overall would not recommend.
