Yes, it does include Wi-Fi.

I've received my new uleFone Armor Mini 5 today!

Included for size comparison are an AGM M6, a uleFone Armor Mini 20T Pro, and an Armor 21.

Comparing the AGM M6 and Armor Mini 5, the M6 weighs 188 g while the Mini 5 weigh 171 g. They both have 2500 mAh capacity batteries. The M6 is also slightly thicker.

The Armor Mini 20T Pro weighs 294 g and is some 1.5 times thicker than the Mini 5.

I've confirmed I can put the phone in Developer mode, and there's a switch to unlock the bootloader. APK files can be installed (the WhatsApp needed an update) but I haven't tried installing the Google Play Store just yet, preferring to see what the phone can do in its stock state before trying to alter it.

I have to say this now. The 240x320 screen is bad. Very bad! I had also bought uleFone's watch along with this phone, and the screen on that is incredibly sharp and detailed. It's time that dumb phone makers started adding better screens to their line.

My daily phone is an Armor Mini 20. No 5G, and no thermal camera. And yet. it can do cartwheels around the Mini 5. However, the Mini 20 did cost me $291 Canadian while the Mini 5 only cost me $112 CAD.

I haven't figured out how to activate T9 typing on the keypad yet (if included).

The FM radio requires headphones to serve as an antenna. This is an outdated concept. At least the phone has a proper headphone jack, and you can install two SIMs and a microSD card simultaneously (limited to 64 GB, should have been at least 256 GB).

Media playback works a lot better than even on the latest AGM dumb phones (I also have the M11). However, video playback seems to be limited to MP4 files. No AVI, no WMV, no MPG, and no MKV. I've only been able to try MP3 audio files and they seem to work well enough.

Is the Mini 5 a decent social media "detox" phone? Possibly. The size and weight are both very decent. I just wish uleFone had upgraded the screen for better images along with a bit more memory and internal storage to support Android 15 GO Edition. A lot of apps today simply won't support Android 11.

That's it for now.
