The robust smartphone market is evolving, how many brands now integrate large batteries and even portable projectors into their devices.
Chinese brand 8849 is known for such devices that have previously released models such as 8499 Tank 2 Pro and Tank 3 Pro.
The company has now announced 8849 Tank 4, a business smartphone that has a 100-lumen 720P DLP projector. It supports laser-assisted autofocus up to 4 meters, micro-laser that spans, night vision camera and an RGB camp light.
Projector -Phones cut a niche
8849 Tank 4 has a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1200 x 2650 and a 120Hz update speed. Measurement of 174.3 x 85.4 x 23.9 mm and weighs 538g, it is only slightly smaller than the best sturdy tablets on the market.
This phone is run by a Medatek Dimensity 7300 -CHIP, paired with 12 GB or 16 GB RAM and 256 GB or 512 GB of internal stock, expanded via TF card.
It houses an 11,600 mAh battery, which is about half of the capacity of Tank 3 Pro, but still great for daily use. The device also supports the 66W cable fast charging. While it lacks wireless charging, it compensates with 25W reverse charging via its Type-C 2.0 port.
For photography, the phone is equipped with a triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP Sony Main Sensor, a 64MP Omnivision Night Vision camera with infrared fillings and an 8MP 3x zoom lens.
Like other robust smartphones, this device supports IP68 water and dust resistance. Connection includes Wi-Fi 6, double SIM support and compatibility with GSM to 5G NR networks, offering download speeds of up to 2.34 Gbps.
Samsung once dabbled in the category projector phones with Galaxy Beam released over a decade ago. However, the company eventually left the space due to high costs and limited adoption at that time.
Nevertheless, with new offers such as 8849 Tank 4, as well as similar products such as Oukitel WP100 Titan and Doogee V Max Play, projector phones may be ready for a comeback.
