World’s first rugged phone with a 720P projector, 1440×3200 AMOLED display, Dimensity 8300 processor, 120W fast charging, and night vision camera – designed for extreme performance and versatile outdoor use.
SHENZHEN, JUNE 18th, 2025, innovative mobile device specialists 8849 has today officially launched the TANK 4 PRO, marking a ground-breaking milestone in mobile innovation as the world’s first rugged smartphone to integrate a high-definition 720P projector alongside a 1440×3200 AMOLED display. Combining state-of-the-art entertainment, power, and durability in a single device, the TANK 4 PRO redefines the expectations of what a rugged phone can offer.
Built for extreme conditions and professional use, the TANK 4 PRO features a 6.73-inch AMOLED screen with a crisp 3200 × 1440 resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Engineered for power users, the device is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra chipset, 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, expandable via TF card. Thanks to its triple-slot design, the TANK 4 PRO allows users to enjoy both dual SIM functionality and memory expansion without compromise.
One of the standout innovations of the TANK 4 PRO is its integrated 720P DLP projector. With a brightness of 100 lumens, laser-assisted autofocus up to 4 meters, and a focus range from 0.5 to 3 meters, the projector is ideal for viewing content in low-light environments such as tents and outdoor campsites. This feature, paired with the device’s powerful RGB camping light and dedicated alarm lights, positions the TANK 4 PRO as a valuable tool for outdoor professionals and adventurers.
The rugged phone’s imaging system is equally impressive. A 50MP Samsung S5KGN1 ISOCELL sensor serves as the main camera, accompanied by a 64MP OmniVision night vision camera enhanced by four infrared lights. A third telephoto lens utilizes a 50MP Samsung S5KJN1 sensor with autofocus for detailed zoom shots. A 32MP OmniVision selfie camera ensures high-quality front-facing captures.
The TANK 4 PRO also boasts a massive 11,600mAh battery capable of 120W ultra-fast wired charging, enabling quick top-ups despite the battery’s size. It supports reverse charging at 25W, transforming the device into a power source for other gadgets. Built with durability in mind, the phone is IP68-rated for water and dust resistance and features a robust construction weighing approximately 538g.
Additional features include NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6E, USB 3.0 Type-C connectivity, a 3.5mm headphone jack, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, two PTT (Push-To-Talk) buttons, and Android 14 out of the box.
