A phone, a pocket projector, and a giant battery in one slab of metal. The 8849 TANK 5 is built for nights outdoors, remote work, and impromptu big-screen viewing anywhere.

Watch it in action

The first thing that hits you is the projector: the TANK 5 folds a 2K DLP projector into a rugged phone, with laser autofocus and keystone correction to help keep the image sharp and squared up fast.

A phone made for screens that are bigger than the campsite

On paper, the setup is unusually ambitious. 8849 pairs the projector with a 6.73-inch 3K AMOLED display, a 17,600mAh battery, and 120W fast charging — the kind of specs that make the device feel closer to a portable entertainment rig than a standard handset.

Built for travel, field work, and rough conditions

The TANK 5 also leans into its utility-first identity with eSIM, rugged protection, and a heavy-duty body. It is aimed at people who need one device to handle navigation, communication, long days away from a charger, and the occasional movie on a wall or tent flap.

  • 2K DLP projector for instant big-screen viewing
  • 17,600mAh battery with 120W charging
  • 3K AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate
  • eSIM for easier travel and carrier switching

The wow factor

This is not just a rugged phone with a gimmick. It is a visibly unusual piece of hardware: part flashlight, part power bank, part projector, part flagship Android phone.

For travelers, field teams, and outdoor movie setups, that combination is the whole story.
