9. Troubleshooting
- Device not powering on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to the charger and wait a few minutes before attempting to power on again.
- Network connectivity issues: Check your SIM card insertion. Verify with your carrier if the device's 5G frequencies are supported in your region.
- Slow performance: Close unnecessary background applications. Clear cache regularly.
- Screen unresponsive: Perform a force restart by holding the Power button for an extended period (usually 10-15 seconds).
Service Center App

10. User Tips
- Network Compatibility: The Armor 30 Pro 5G may not be compatible with all carriers, particularly in the US (e.g., AT&T, Cricket, Sprint, Verizon, Boost Mobile, Koodo, Telus Wireless, Fido). Always check supported 5G frequencies with your local carrier before purchase.
- Available Storage: The stated ROM amount is the maximum. The Android OS will occupy a portion of this, so the actual available storage will be less than advertised.
- Performance Testing: For accurate performance metrics, refer to information from standard benchmarks like AnTuTu. Do not rely on third-party apps like CPU-Z or other non-standard testing tools, as their accuracy and professionalism cannot be guaranteed.
- Unboxing Procedure: Upon receiving your device, it is highly recommended to record an unboxing video. This can be crucial evidence if any issues or discrepancies are found with the package contents.
- Charger Plug Type: When ordering, ensure you select the correct plug type (EU or US) for your region. No other plug specifications are available.
- Wireless Charging: Please note that the Ulefone Armor 30 Pro 5G does NOT support wireless charging.
