Summary
- Features a 1080p DLP projector with laser autofocus.
- Boasts a 17,600mAh dual-cell battery with 120W fast charging.
- Includes a 64MP night vision camera and MediaTek Dimensity 8200.
The 8849 Tank X, launched in February 2026, emerges as a distinctive rugged smartphone. It offers a unique 1080p DLP projector, rated at 220 lumens with laser autofocus, setting it apart from competitors. This device also features a 64MP night vision camera, supported by four infrared LEDs, and an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.
Its robust build is complemented by a substantial 17,600mAh dual-cell battery, paired with 120W fast charging. The Tank X is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset, coupled with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, ensuring strong performance.
Durability is paramount, with IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H certifications ensuring resistance to water, dust, and extreme conditions. The device runs on Android 15. However, its considerable 750g weight and 31.9mm thickness make it less portable for everyday use.
Launched with an early bird price of $549.99, significantly less than its $1,049.99 RRP, the Tank X presents a compelling, albeit niche, option for users needing advanced features in a rugged form factor. It competes directly with other models from its parent company, Unihertz.
