8849 Tank 5 Pro rugged phone packs ultra-wide thermal 'Predator' camera with a 2K 220-lumen projector — packs a huge 17,600mah battery and Dimensity 9400e chip

TANK 5 Pro covers a 95-degree field with its thermal sensor The battery holds 17,600mAh and recharges fully within 90 minutes Dimensity 9400e reportedly outscores Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on AnTuTu benchmarks 8849, a Chinese company known for producing rugged smartphones, has introduced the TANK 5 Pro, a device engineered for outdoor and industrial use cases.

This smartphone measures 177.1 x 87 x 33.8mm and weighs 715g, a build that supports its shockproof, reinforced construction.

A built-in toolbox app adds a compass, bubble level, protractor, barometer, and speedometer, tools aimed at fieldwork rather than everyday convenience.

Rugged design, flagship chip, and a 2k projector The 8849 TANK 5 Pro includes a 1200-lumen camping light with SOS and strobe modes, alongside red and blue warning lights meant for roadside or rescue situations.

Inside sits a MediaTek Dimensity 9400e processor on a 4nm process, which the seller claims scores above 2.3 million on AnTuTu, edging past the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which scores about 2.2 million.

It uses a 6.73-inch AMOLED panel supporting 1440×3200 resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate and 3000-nit peak brightness.

Memory options include 18GB of physical RAM plus an additional 18GB of virtual allocation, alongside 512GB of storage expandable via an microSD card.

A 17,600mAh dual-cell battery anchors this rugged phone , supporting 120W wired charging that the listing says fills the cell in roughly 90 minutes.

This mobile phone also comes with a 2K 220-lumen projector with laser autofocus and ±45° keystone correction for distortion-free setup in varied lighting conditions.

The same laser module doubles as a four-meter rangefinder, while the projector lens can also serve as a high-intensity flashlight.

It supports IP68 and IP69K certification under the IEC 60529 standard, tested in static fresh water up to 1.8 meters deep for as long as 30 minutes.

8849 cautioned that seawater, pool water, soapy water, and hot water can all reduce that protective performance over time.

An ultra-wide 'predator' thermal camera behind the lens The infrared module, nicknamed for its wide, predator-style field of view, covers 95° horizontally, nearly double the 50° span found on most rival thermal phones.

It uses a FLIR Lepton 3.1R sensor with 160×120 resolution, translating to 19,200 individually calibrated temperature-reading pixels rather than a simple heat-blob overlay.
