Hammer Blade 3

Technical specifications

Neutral opinion, it is neither good nor bad. 2.5 years of use, before the end it fell onto crushed stone, which resulted in a cracked display. It worked, but the display leaked in several places, making it difficult to see what was on the screen ? the touch function continued to work. Battery? In total, it lasted from 1 to 4?5 days, depending on the enabled options and applications. It made calls (although the call quality was not very impressive), it was not a fast device, and adding new entries to the phonebook was very difficult. Furthermore, those rubber protectors often fell off? It is possible that it was due to contact with grease.

I have had it for several months. I do not agree with the critical reviewers. The system does not freeze and operates smoothly. Although 4 GB of RAM is not impressive, the RAM/processor ratio is selected so skillfully that the phone is fast. The reinforcements fulfill their functions, as befits the IKO7 certificate. I recommend it.

I bought it to have a phone with eSIM - I have it and that is the biggest advantage. NFC worked poorly from the beginning until it stopped entirely. Perhaps it is for the better, at least I do not deceive myself that this time I will manage to pay without taking out my iPhone. Sometimes it reboots into the bootloader without a clear reason. I did not expect fast performance, and yet I was disappointed. I would not exaggerate the ruggedness; it fell onto the pavement once and for the second time in nearly 16 years of using smartphones, I have a device with a broken screen. I recommend it only if you must spend 500 on something that is barely tolerable to use. Regarding advantages - perhaps only the appearance, I ended up not having to use the eSIM, so I do not know if and how it works.

I have had this phone since April 2022, while it looks interesting, its ruggedness exists only in the advertising brochure. Of course, it has already been to the service center 3 times, because the first time it reset itself and could not load the system, so they replaced the battery and installed a new system at the same time, later the display leaked in one spot, and the third time after the phone fell from over 50 cm the entire display fell out and this is not covered by the warranty. Honestly, this is my 3rd Hammer and the last one, because when they improve one thing, they break 2 other things in new models.

The device might look good in the description and so on, but in reality it lasted about 14 months. The first warranty claim was due to the system freezing. The display was also replaced at that time. The second warranty claim followed two months later because the casing was falling apart, but it cannot be repaired because the display cracked (two weeks after returning from the service center, although it had previously lasted 14 months), which was protected by a protective film and is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. To summarize briefly: a good device until it goes to the service center.

Despite its rugged appearance, it is not rugged ;) If anyone believes that by purchasing this model they will not have to fear damage, they are mistaken. I purchased the phone for my husband. Despite additional protective glass on the display applied by the service center, the phone broke after falling from a pocket onto the steps, the protective glass did not protect the display. I do not recommend it. Any non-rugged phone would not have been destroyed in this situation.

I received this phone for work. The device is a complete failure. It is very slow, heavy, and even when used solely for calls, it can freeze; it operates of its own accord. Furthermore, the battery charging time is extremely long. This equipment should be provided in cafeterias with meals so that one can call for an ambulance in case of being burned by, for example, beetroot soup or another broth.

I bought a Hammer Blade 3 thinking it was waterproof and dustproof, but it is not. It fell into a bowl of water and stopped working. It got a bit dusty and started to become unresponsive, and the rear speaker attracts metal filings better than an electromagnet. Then the speaker starts crackling and the entire speaker module must be replaced frequently. Overall, this is the worst phone possible.

The worst phone I have used so far, it freezes constantly, it is very difficult to take a good photo with it, and the rubber protective frame detached from the phone (because it was always hot after charging and it became unglued). The phone is a failure, avoid it from a great distance.

A disaster. The worst phone I have ever had, I do not recommend it, it acts as if it had its own will. I bought it to be damage-resistant, but it constantly freezes, and I have to lock it every few moments for it to regain functionality for a few seconds. I do not recommend it.
