The TANK 3 Pro is a rugged smartphone designed for off-grid use, featuring a 23,800 mAh battery, a rugged body, and special features including a 1200 lumen LED flashlight. Now, the Chinese company behind that phone has launched a new model called the TANK 3 Pro, which introduces two significant changes. Firstly, in addition to a super-bright flashlight function, the Pro model has a 100 lumen, 120 Hz DLP projector function. Secondly, the new model is available with up to 18GB of RAM. The TANK 3 Pro is available for pre-order from AliExpress for $670 and up.
Although the starting price will get you a phone with 16GB of RAM, the projector is a unique feature rarely found in smartphones. While the previous-gen Tank 2 had a projector, the TANK 3 Pro’s 100 lumen projector is an upgrade, suitable for delivering presentations in a conference room or hosting an outdoor movie night. However, it is recommended to use this feature in dark environments due to its 100 lumens limit.
Most of the phone’s other specs appear to be pretty similar to the non-Pro model, with both being BIG smartphones that weigh roughly a pound and a half, featuring rugged designs suitable for extreme conditions. The product listing for the TANK 3 Pro also mentions a fan for active cooling, a feature not mentioned for the standard model, indicating an additional enhancement by the company.
