Unihertz makes uncommon phones for under-served sections of the mobile phone market. The latest product in their lineup is called Tank. The name speaks for itself: Unihertz Tank is a rugged smartphone and built like a tank and is water, dust, and shock resistant. The 6.81-inch display is protected by Panda Glass MN228, a Gorilla Glass alternative .
Powering Unihertz Tank is a 4G-enabled MediaTek MT6789 Helio G99 processor. There is a massive 22000mAh battery, coupled with 66W fast charging. That way you can charge it up quickly for use for extended periods away from a power source. The manufacturer says the battery will last a week.

Unihertz Tank: Price And How To Buy
Alternatives And Competition
UleFone Armor 12 5G is a more powerfulrugged smartphone
A competing rugged smartphone in the same price range at this time: UleFone Armor 12 5G, which shows up with a more powerful, more advanced processor that supports 5G networks and underwater photography. Both are rated IP68 MIL-STD-810. It has more RAM – 12GB, but is a downgrade in screen resolution (only 6.52 inches, 720 x 1600 pixels) and protection (no toughened glass), battery size (only 5180mAh), and battery charging (only 18W). It costs $399.99, which is the same as the Unihertz Tank.
In January 2023, DOOGEE introduced the DOOGEE V Max , and it is identical to Unihertz Tank in many ways, including in having a 22000mAh battery and a 108-megapixel camera. The V Max supports 5G networks, though, which is missing in the Tank.
If what you want is the most powerful rugged smartphone available at this time, look at the AGM G2 Guardian , which sports a Qualcomm QCM6490 5G chipset, up to 12GB RAM, and a 7000mAh battery, and costs twice as much.
Lastly, if you are buying the Unihertz Tank, you definitely do not want to be holding up a 560g phone to your head for phone calls; you should buy earbuds and/or a wired earpiece for your telephone calls. Otherwise, prepare to experience cramps in your arm and hand.
