FOSSiBOT F107 Pro Review – when the phone becomes a BEAST

FOSSIBOT is not a well-known brand in Italy, but it has recently gained popularity among rugged phone aficionados thanks to an unusual offering: the FOSSiBOT F107 Pro. This is unlike any other smartphone. IS a device created for folks who live and operate in harsh environments, who require autonomy, resistance, accurate night vision, and no frills.

Let’s talk about a product that he’s proud of being big, hefty, and brutal. At the same time, it provides a top-tier technical specification, including a 28,000 mAh battery, a 200 MP camera, a 50 meter LED flashlight, and a 120 Hz display. All of this is contained within a MIL-STD-810H-certified armored body with IP68 and IP69K ratings.

The business, which specializes in rugged devices, is not new to the industry: it introduced models such as the FOSSiBOT DT1 and the strong DT2, but with the F107 Pro, it appears to have aimed to raise the standard to nearly extreme levels.

The list price is $499, which corresponds to approximately EUR 459, however it is frequently seen on sale for less than EUR 440. A somewhat high figure, but entirely commensurate with the huge hardware on board and the intended application. After all, you don’t get the F107 Pro to play Candy Crush under an umbrella.

Sales packaging FOSSiBOT F107 Pro

The F107 Pro packaging reflects the brand’s philosophy: fundamental on the outside, concrete on the inside. There are no spectacular effects, just an orange box with the FOSSIBOT logo in silver and everything required to get started.

Inside we find:

• The telephone comes with a protective film.
• a 66W charger, and a USB-C cable.
• USB-C Cable
• Multilingual quick manuals
• A tiny screwdriver and a set of screws
• A screw-on hand support.

A non-trivial detail: the support is not a gimmick for looks, but it is a huge benefit if you have small hands or frequently use your phone while moving.

In brief, the equipment is more durable than the ordinary, and he quickly recognizes that the product is intended to be used in the field, even by people who are not accustomed to treating their instruments with gloves.

Design, Ergonomics & Durability

Sincere but brutal

There are no half measures with the FOSSiBOT F107 Pro: it is large, thick, and heavy, and he goes to great lengths to ensure your understanding. It’s not the typical rugged “stylish” of marketing; it was a tool before it was even a phone. You can see, feel, and weigh yourself.

The dimensions are large, measuring 190.1 × 90.6 × 39.95 mm and weighing 910 grams. However, weight is not thrown around; every millimeter and gram serves a purpose.

The body is a sturdy and reassuring combination of hard rubber, high-density plastic, and solid metal inlays. The frame is screwed in, the lines are jagged and purposely “dirty,” and the style is that of a field instrument, more like a labor tool than a smartphone.

The back is dominated by a massive metal plate that provides structure and rigidity, along with a triple camera lock protected by a raised frame. The module includes photographic sensors, an LED flash, and an infrared lens for night vision. Everything is recessed and armored to withstand impacts and impacts.

What makes the actual difference, however, is her embedded LED flashlight. A dedicated button on the left side activates a twin front light with a beam of up to 50 meters. It’s powerful, authentic, and can transform your phone into a camping lamp in complete darkness. It’s not a gimmick, but rather a genuine strength that, once used, makes you wonder how you ever got by without it.

In the front, there is room for the 6.95-inch display: huge, well-framed, with glass Gorilla Glass 3 slightly recessed and enclosed by a thick frame, which is important not only for protection but also for improving front grip. Aesthetically, it is square and sturdy, in keeping with the rest of the body: no sacrifices to patinated design, just functionality and service.

On the sides we find:

• To right: The volume rocker and power button feature an integrated fingerprint sensor for precise and fast operation, even with wet hands.
• To left: Two physical keys. One is programmable with three assignable actions (single, double, and long press), while the other is dedicated to the torch.
• Bottom: USB-C covered by a rubbery door, properly cashed.
• Top: LED flashlight lenses at two o’clock position are highly visible and functional.

The SIM door is likewise strengthened, watertight, and can be configured as dual nano SIM or SIM + microSD.

Using it with one hand is nearly impossible, but anybody who buys an F107 Pro understands this. And, if you really need it, the screw-on finger holder is included in the box, allowing you to manage it more confidently.

In the hand, it has a distinct sensation: it is not a phone for show; it is an object to use, dirty, throw in your backpack, and pull out when necessary.

Display and multimedia FOSSiBOT F107 Pro

A massive panel, the real protagonist in the front.

When you turn on the F107 Pro, you instantly realize that the display is an essential component of its personality. No robust compromises, just a 6.95-inch Full HD+ panel at 120 Hz, I.P.S., huge and readable in all conditions.

It is not an OLED, of course. However, it is bright, highly calibrated, and fully usable outside, even in direct sunlight. The colors are natural, pure white, and provide more than enough contrast for any multimedia content, even in the most difficult situations.
In low light, the wide diagonal is especially useful for reading, browsing, and watching videos. Subtitles, yes, read remotely, the visuals are crisp, and the entire system runs smoothly owing to the 120 Hz refresh rate.

Aesthetically, it is not refined: the frames are thick, and the 32 MP front camera is easily apparent. However, it does not conflict: everything is at functionality service. The slightly recessed glass shields the front impact screen, while the elevated frame serves as a barrier when placed face down or falls forward.

On the audio front, we have a mono speaker that is really powerful: it can reach 180 decibels and you can feel it. It’s not high-fidelity, but it’s ideal for use in noisy surroundings, sound signals, or listening to music without headphones in the rain. The ear capsule is clear, and the microphone that contains it is likewise exposed to wind.

Hardware, performance and connectivity FOSSiBOT F107 Pro

Powerful and complete, like few others.

This beast contains a modern heart that does more than just spin the system; it does so well and for an extended period of time. The MediaTek Dimensity 7300, manufactured using a 4 nm technology, is a concrete chip capable of handling both common applications and heavier loads. We’re talking about the same chip that powers cellphones like the CMF Phone 1, which is already widely available in Italy, demonstrating that this is not an experiment, but rather a robust and proven platform.

The combination of 12 GB of physical RAM, which can be expanded to 30 GB total thanks to the virtual 18, provides the system with a broad operational margin, even during heavy multitasking. Apps remain in memory, transitions are smooth, and slowdowns are virtually nonexistent. It’s a phone that works well and you can feel it.

The storage is also top-of-the-line: 512 GB UFS 2.2, extendable up to 2 TB with microSD. Not a detail: being able to carry gigabytes and terabytes of data without worry is a tangible advantage in the context of excursions, field work, or use in isolated places.

The graphics sector, with its Mali-G615 GPU, does its job. It is not a gaming phone, but you can easily watch a live stream there. Games like PUBG, Asphalt, and Call of Duty operate smoothly, and it does not overheat even after extended use.

And speaking of heat, the thermal management is quite effective. The huge body and metal back plate aid in natural dissipation, and even when stressed, the phone never gets hot in a frightening way. No thermal throttling and no hand discomfort. Even with the flashlight turned on, the GPS activated, and the screen on for hours, everything remains under control.

And then there’s the whole connectivity part, and it’s complete on the serious:

• 5G Dual SIM
• Dual band Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth 5.2
• NFC fully functional
• USB-C port with OTG support
• for navigation: GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS, NavIC

A phone you can use as your primary smartphone on a daily basis, but which shines when you take him off the beaten path. Traveling, camping, and at business. He perseveres when others fail. No noise, no effort.

Software and user experience FOSSiBOT F107 Pro

Clean, updated, ready now

One of the highlights of the FOSSiBOT F107 Pro, and a pleasant surprise on a rugged device, is the existence of Android 15 out of the box. It isn’t obvious. Most importantly, it is neither a neutered version or laden with superfluous features; rather, it is a clean system with a near-stock UI that has been upgraded, is fast, and stable.

The animations are slick, the menus responsive, and the structure is clear. There is no bloatware, no strange Chinese apps to turn off, and no unwanted notifications. Only what you need: field equipment, one programmable flashlight, one digital compass, a bubble level, and other utilities for individuals who use their phones frequently, such as on construction sites or in outdoor settings.

The phone is ready to use the moment it is turned on. There is no bloatware, no odd programs to deactivate, and no real-time translations. Only the essentials, plus some handy gadgets for “field” use. Discover the gloves mode, the toolbox with compass and level, the administration of physical side keys, and the always-on flashlight app with direct access. All are well integrated, with no detrimental effects on overall smoothness.

The programmable red button on the left side is simple to set up: it may do three distinct actions (single, double, or long pressure), and you can assign quick functions or access apps like the camera, Starlight mode, or any other utility. A godsend in situations where touching the screen is not always feasible.

Virtual RAM management It is beautifully integrated and apparent in the settings, as is the gloves mode, which boosts the touchscreen sensitivity for use in difficult environments.

Everything runs flawlessly, even after several days of intensive use. The security fixes have been updated (July 2025), and FOSSiBOT pledges at least two years of official support, which is quite a lot in the tough landscape.

In everyday life, it’s a smartphone that you can use just like any other recent Android, without having to deal with weighted interfaces or improbable translations. And it’s just this blend of stock software and professional tool functions that makes it one of the most useable rugged options for individuals who don’t live in the mud.

Camera FOSSiBOT F107 Pro

Real night vision, not marketing effect

When you see “200 MP” on a tough phone, your first thought is legitimate skepticism. Nonetheless, the F107 Pro is serious: it is not a smartphone designed to compete with the best in terms of photographic rendering, but it is functional, well calibrated, and, above all, it provides something that others do not: true color night vision, rather than the standard black and white infrared filter.

Main camera

The main sensor is 200 MP, equipped with AI technology and extensive openness. During the day, he behaves well: the images are detailed, the focus is quick, and the white balance is better than expected. The software does not overdo it with HDR and retains natural colors without artificial saturation. At night, he defends himself, but the genuine magic occurs elsewhere.

Starlight Night Vision

The crucial lesson is that there is a secondary camera dedicated to color night vision, based on a 24 MP IR Starlight sensor, and this is no joke. Works.

Even in almost complete darkness – underground parking, a walk in the woods, or a lodge in the middle of the night – the camera captures color images with legible details, clear silhouettes, and well-defined outlines. No extreme noise, no effect of “military grain”.

And the most amazing thing is that no special mode is required: there is a specific profile in the camera software that performs everything automatically. It’s a tremendous benefit for folks who work at night, camp, conduct significant outdoor activities, or simply desire a pocket surveillance system.

Ultra-wide and macro

There is also an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, which is usable but not very impressive, as well as a macro assist module for close-up shots. Nothing noteworthy, but useful in a documentary or technical situation if you need to capture a close-up detail of a cable, system, or equipment.

Front

The front camera is 32 MP, which is more than enough for selfies, video calls, voice reports with images, and, most importantly, for people who operate in smart working environments or in the field and require a clean and steady camera even in low light.

Video

Electronic stabilization allows for recording at up to 4K resolution. In tests, the recordings were stable, with clear audio from the microphones and visuals that could be read while walking or with a torch lighted.

Led flashlight FOSSiBOT F107 Pro

A real light, not a shop window accessory

One of the features that distinguishes the F107 Pro is its front LED flashlight. This is not your typical rear LED integrated into the camera module, but rather one dedicated twin lens placed in the upper section, meant to provide a true work or light field. And it actually works.

The beam is powerful and wide, with a range of up to 50 meters. Light up everywhere: a route through the woods, a tent when camping, the engine compartment of a car in the middle of the night. It’s one of those items that you would overlook on a technical data sheet but then utilize every day.

The fantastic part is that there is also a dedicated physical button, which is easily identifiable, etched with the flashlight icon, and conveniently located on the left side. Simply tap it to turn on the light even while the screen is off, without the need for toggles or shortcuts. And each press alters the mode.

• Fixed light: classical continuous, bright, and consistent lighting.
• SOS: Coded flashing is useful in emergency situations.
• Radiogram: Rapid, powerful, and plainly apparent signaling even from a distance.

You can use it without having to charge it, thanks to its 28,000 mAh battery. Even for hours. It does not heat up or decrease in intensity, and it can make a significant impact whether you are in the middle of nowhere or require substantial enlightenment in gloomy situations.

This type of flashlight cannot be found on other robust flashlights, even low-cost portable flashlights. It’s an extra that becomes integrated into the user experience. When needed – which happens more frequently than you think – do you realize that it is one of the reasons you chose him specifically.

Autonomy FOSSiBOT F107 Pro

Infinite, or rather: a power bank with 5G antenna

FOSSiBOT F107 Pro does not have a huge battery. Ha, a portable power plant. With a battery capacity of 28,000 mAh, this is not a smartphone with a lot of autonomy: it’s an ultra-rugged power bank with a 5G phone module, built for people who remain out for days on end. Per choice or necessity.

It is the ideal companion for individuals who visit the mountains, work on-site, go climbing, trekking, camping, night fishing, caving, or simply want a device that will never leave you. In certain situations, this is more than just convenience: it is security.

Some numbers to help you understand the scope:

• Up to 30 days of standby
• More than 250 hours on-call
• 133 hours of music
• Over 40 hours of active use with video, GPS, photographs, flashlight, and connections.

When you’re lost, when you don’t know when or where you’ll find the next trick, he’s there. You don’t need to worry about saving battery life; you don’t need to switch off Wi-Fi, dim the brightness, or disable GPS. Make sure you use it enough.

And when you (finally) decide to recharge it, there is super charging at 66W, which will get you back in the saddle in around 3 hours. Not bad given we’re talking about three times the capacity of a Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Furthermore, reverse charging at 10W effectively transforms the F107 Pro into a portable energy hub. Connecting a USB-C connection allows you to power any other device, including headphones, cellphones, action cameras, and even an external flashlight.

It is not simply a phone. IS a portable energy source and a trusted partner on any outdoor mission. And, in certain situations, it can mean the difference between being isolated and being able to seek assistance, between turning off in the dark and turning on a guiding light.

Real life, real challenges: when you really need the FOSSiBOT F107 Pro

You can test it on your desk, but the FOSSiBOT F107 Pro was designed to be away from civilization. You comprehend it the moment you turn it on, but especially when you use it in situations where other smartphones fail.

Excursions and outdoors

Backpacking, gravel trail, and no coverage. FOSSiBOT F107 Pro is more than just a phone; it’s a torch to help you find your way through the woods, a GPS to help you get back, a camera to capture memories, and the only battery that won’t let you down. Even if you disregard the power bank, he is already a power bank. You can even recharge your watch or headphones via reverse charging.

Construction sites, workshops, challenging conditions.

He enjoys dust, water, falls, and vibrations, all of which every smartphone is frightened of. You lay it on unclean surfaces, use it with gloves thanks to the physical side buttons, and utilize a bright flashlight to illuminate dark locations in the warehouse or technical compartments. What happens if it slips? Don’t worry: nothing can be done between Gorilla Glass 3, a rubberized rear cover, and the metal frame.

Camping and extreme travel

A weekend under the stars is enough to see why this smartphone is unique. The module Starlight Night Vision captures details even after midnight without using a flash, resulting in outstanding colors and depth. The key-activated flashlight is ideal for putting up a blind curtain or marking your location. What if it rains? What if it falls into your river? You dry it and continue on.

Motorcycles, bikes, extreme sports

The bundled holder makes it easier to put on the handlebars. The huge 6.95-inch screen is perfect for following maps and GPS tracks. The weight is present, but if your vehicle has suspension, you can forget about it. And when you reach the stop, you still have more than 70% charge. Perhaps while the others search for an electrical outlet.

Blackouts, crises, and off-grid living.

Even at home, in an emergency, FOSSiBOT F107 Pro becomes indispensable. A light source, an emergency battery, and a communication hub. Do you keep it charged and prepared for any eventuality? Ten days on standby? Facts. 100 hours of music or 250 hours of calls? Not an issue.

Conclusions and final evaluation – Rating 8.0

A product for those with extreme demands.

FOSSIBOT F107 Pro. It is not a regular smartphone, and it is not aimed for the average user. Is a device developed for those who work or live in harsh settings, such as trekking, camping, field work, shipping, or who just cannot afford to have their phone turn off at the wrong time.

Is a specialty item that must be understood before purchasing. It is uncomfortable to carry in your pocket, and you cannot use it with one hand. It weighs nearly a kilogram and has a thickness that surpasses any other in trade. But you put it in your backpack with the torch, power bank, and multipurpose knife. No, it replaces them all.

Because we’re talking about a device that actually includes survival tools: A powerful and customizable flashlight with SOS light and strobe, one starlight night camera that sees in the dark without flash, and a 28,000 mAh battery that lasts weeks and can recharge other devices, including via reverse charging. All of this without sacrificing connectivity, with a more than satisfactory performance owing to the 4nm Dimensity 7300, 12+18 GB of virtual RAM, 512 GB of storage, and a single 200 MP primary camera.

The software is basic but up to date. Android 15 operates smoothly and accomplishes everything is required, no frills.

If you want a smartphone that’s slim, attractive, and lightweight, seek elsewhere.

If you want a gadget that is reliable, robust, and has off-scale autonomy, the FOSSiBOT F107 Pro is more akin to a power bank with phone capability than a phone with a large battery.
