Tank X redefines professional rugged smartphones — combining a 220-lumen 1080P DLP projector with full-spectrum outdoor tools, transforming a rugged phone from a durable device into a high-performance outdoor companion. Powered by a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset, Sony large-sensor cameras, a 6.78" 120Hz display, dual-frequency GPS, Wi-Fi 6, and multi-mode camping and emergency lights.
Tank X takes projector phones to a new brightness level. Its 220-lumen DLP projector delivers clearer, more usable images than typical low-lumen devices — practical both day and night, from bright indoor spaces to shaded outdoor environments. Walls or tents instantly become a large viewing surface. Up to 5 hours in High-Brightness Mode, 6 hours in Night Mode, and 10+ hours on the lowest setting. Built-in Smart PA speaker (3.5cc chamber, 4Ω 2W, up to 97dB) delivers loud, clear outdoor audio.
The Dimensity 8200 is an ultra-efficient 4nm octa-core chip delivering fast, smooth performance for everyday tasks and gaming. Paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, it ensures seamless multitasking, faster app launches, and ample space for work, media, and AI-powered applications. Supports Gemini, ChatGPT, and other third-party AI platforms. Built-in 5G and Wi-Fi 6 deliver fast, stable connectivity wherever you go.
Laser-based autofocus from 0.5m to 3.0m instantly sharpens the image without manual adjustment. Wide ±40° keystone correction keeps images perfectly rectangular even when the phone is tilted — making setup quick and hassle-free in tents, meeting rooms, outdoor walls, or field environments.
A large 6.78-inch FHD+ LCD display (1080×2460) with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth, fluid performance. Up to 750 nits peak brightness keeps the screen clearly visible outdoors and under strong lighting. PWM-free LCD panel is easier on the eyes than OLED for long sessions — ideal for outdoor and industrial use.
Flagship-level imaging across every lens — from wide to telephoto to total darkness.
Large 1/1.56" sensor with full-pixel autofocus. Higher light intake, lower noise, and stable image quality in any condition.
Sharp selfies and video calls via 50MP front camera. 8MP rear telephoto with 3× optical zoom for capturing distant subjects.
High-resolution OmniVision OV64B sensor with fast autofocus for sharp outdoor shots, site recording, and daily photography.
Four IR LEDs plus dual-tone flash LED assist visibility in dark environments and can help reveal infrared light sources.
Up to 3× larger than a typical smartphone battery — yet still airline carry-on compliant. Fully charged in just 70 minutes via 120W fast charging. Supports reverse charging via USB-C to power other devices. Operates reliably from −28°C to 56°C. Up to 65 hours talk time and 6 hours of projector use in Night Mode.
Dual-band GPS (L1+L5) combined with GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou improves positioning accuracy to 1–2 metres, reduces signal acquisition time, and maintains stable tracking in dense forests and urban canyons — far more reliable than single-band GPS which can drift 2–15m in complex environments.
The built-in 1200-lumen camping light delivers powerful illumination for outdoor work, night repairs, and campsite setup — with High, Medium, Low, SOS, and Strobe modes. Red and blue warning lights with a sound alert simulator help signal your presence and increase safety during roadside incidents, night patrols, or rescue situations.
Built to withstand rain, dust, sand, vibration, shocks, extreme temperatures, humidity, high altitude, and temporary immersion. Reliable performance in any environment — for outdoor adventurers, industrial and field workers, emergency responders, and power users.
Tank X is more than a durable phone — it's an all-in-one tool for real-world use. The built-in Toolbox integrates: compass · flashlight · camping lamp · bubble level · plumb bob · protractor · height measurement · barometer · speedometer · magnifier · pedometer · underwater camera · noise meter · alarm alerts. Everything you need on site without additional equipment.
Fast, secure biometric access from any angle.
Contactless payments and access control built in.
Faster, more stable wireless connections to all your devices.
Control nearby TVs and appliances without a separate remote.
Separate work and personal lines on one device.
Single, double, and long-press — each customizable to launch any app or function instantly.

I manage a game farm with no reliable power. This phone runs 6 days on a full charge with GPS, camera, and comms. The 1080P projector on our white wall beats any TV — we watch rugby on it every Saturday. Nothing else on the market does what this does.
Bought it for presentations and the 220 lumens is noticeably brighter than the TANK 4 Pro my colleague has. In a semidark boardroom it is genuinely impressive. Battery held up for 3 full working days of heavy use before I charged.
IP68 and MIL-STD rated — I have tested both on site without trying. Dust everywhere, dropped in a puddle, baking in 45 degree sun. Still going. Battery lasts longer than anyone I know. My only gripe is the weight. At 666g it is genuinely heavy but I got used to it.
Took this to the Drakensberg for a week. Projected onto the tent roof at night, battery lasted the whole trip, GPS worked in areas with no signal where my previous phone gave up. Night vision camera caught incredible wildlife shots in the dark. Unbeatable.
The 17,600mAh battery is not a gimmick. I charged it on a Sunday and used it heavily until the following Sunday before it died. That is an entire week. The projector is excellent for outdoor movies at the holiday house. Brilliant purchase.
The specs are genuinely the best in this category — projector, battery, camera all impress. But 666g is a real commitment. I use a holster now which helps. If you can handle the weight, nothing else comes close.
I coordinate bush rescue operations in Gauteng. The battery, GPS accuracy, and night vision are operationally critical. This phone has been on 4 overnight searches and has never let the team down. The local warranty from Unihertz SA also gave our procurement team confidence.
We replaced a separate 220-lumen portable projector with this phone. The image quality is comparable and the convenience of having it built in is massive. 17,600mAh means it projects for hours without dying. Would buy again without hesitation.
Bought this from Unihertz South Africa? We'd love to hear from you.
