Ulefone, already known in the rugged smartphone market, is now launching a sub-brand focused on niche innovations for users seeking distinctive devices, kicking off with an impressive flagship.

RugOne launched the Xever 7 Pro last month, building a rugged phone with a unique hot-swappable 5,550 mAh battery.

True Hot-Swap Power With Built-In Backup Battery

Yes, hot-swappable. A built-in buffer battery lets you swap batteries for up to three minutes without powering off or interrupting apps.

It’s a seriously impressive setup. Removable backup batteries let you carry spares, extend the phone’s life, and cut electronic waste.

RugOne ships the 7 Pro with an extra battery and offers a smart add-on that charges spare cells. The foldable charger powers the phone at 28 W, and also serves as a desk stand and spare battery holder. On top of that, the phone supports reverse charging through its USB-C port, letting you top up accessories like earbuds.

Beyond its battery features, RugOne built the Xever 7 Pro as serious outdoor gear, giving it IP68/IP69K dust and water resistance, MIL-STD-810H drop protection up to 2 m, and a 230-lumen flashlight with three brightness levels.

Thermal Imaging Camera for Night and Heat Detection

The 7 Pro also brings an extra standout feature.RugOne partnered with FLIR to add a thermal camera that detects 14 °F–842 °F (10 °C–450 °C) heat signatures, useful for spotting wildlife, tracking heat trails, and inspecting gear for fire risks.

It also features a 64-megapixel night-vision camera paired with four infrared LEDs, delivering clear, well-lit images in low light. The 50MP rear camera shoots underwater without extra casing, perfect for outdoor adventures.

Aside from its specialty features, the 7 Pro offers solid but not class-leading hardware that should comfortably handle everyday tasks. It features an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 7025, 12 GB RAM, 512 GB storage, and a 6.67-inch 120 Hz AMOLED display (2,200 nits) with Gorilla Glass 3, all in a rugged 11.4 oz (325 g) body.

Software and Accessories

Out of the box, it runs Android 15 and is slated to receive three additional OS upgrades. In the box, you’ll find a 33-W charger, a spare water-sealed rear panel to change the look, and a holder for the extra battery.

The Xever 7 Pro is priced at US$659.99, plus shipping, through RugOne’s own store and AliExpress. For those who don’t need the thermal camera, the standard Xever 7 costs $529 and still includes the hot-swappable battery system.
