If you have not heard about Lumigon, we do not blame you as the Danish company rarely comes up in the news as compared to the smartphone giants such as Apple and Samsung. But for those who know the company, they appreciate how the company introduces features to their smartphone that makes it different from the others. The T2 Android Smartphone, released in 2014, can also be used as a universal remote to control appliances in the house that have IR ports. Their release for 2016,the Lumigon T3, takes the same features but has another feature that airsoft players might want to have on their smartphones --- a night vision camera.
At first glance, the Lumigon T3 is something that you will think won’t be up to some rough and tumble. The design is elegant and may look out of place in the airsoft field. But it is a tough phone with the marine-grade 316 stainless steel and the Corning Gorilla Glass 4. It is also water and dust resistant though it is not waterproof as compared to the Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge.

Now, let’s get to its main attraction, the night vision camera. It is actually a 4 megapixel Night Vision Camera with Dual IR flash allowing you to take photos and videos in the dark. As to how clear it is, you will have to evaluate yourself by checking the video below:
More on the cameras, the Lumigon T3 has a 13MP rear camera with dual tone flash, PDAF (phase detection autofocus) and 5MP front camera for all those important selfies that everyone takes nowadays. The camera can record in 4K and even has a slow motion feature with at 120 frames per second. And if you are about keeping nice appearances then you can use the illuminated mirror to check yourself before you go and party.
The smartphone is no slouch as it uses the Helio X10 - 64-bit 2.2 Ghz Octa-core processor and 3GB RAM. It comes with 128GB internal storage, which is more than other competitors’ products that usually start at 32GB. For those who are used to using phablets (smartphones with screens starting at 5.1” and above), they might be disappointed with the 4.8” screen but it is a HD Super AMOLED Diamond pixel display.

It is also a dual-SIM phone as standard, allowing you to load 2 nano-SIMs using the side tray to hot swap SIMs without the need to shutdown your phone or open it up. OptimusPrime would love to have this as he prefers dual-SIM phones, though he would like it to be with a bigger screen.
Other features are a 360° 3D fingerprint reader, Accelerometer, Compass & Gyro, GPS with GLONASS/BEIDOU/ANT+ , Temperature/height sensor, and Light and Hand-wave sensors. So it is very much suited for the outdoors as well as in the high street.

If you intend to get one and use it as a night vision device for night games, then you might need to have someone build a mount for it to use on your rifle or a NVG mount for it. But make sure the mount also offers protection to its nicely finished body and screen no matter how tough it is.
The Lumigon T3 can be purchased right now at a price of US$740/EUR645/EUR806 with VAT at basic colours. Pricing can go up if you want a more luxurious version such as the Black Gold, White Diamond, Black Black, and White Gold. But if you want a night vision device that you can use after an airsoft game, the Lumigon T3 might be a good investment since it is also a nicely crafted smartphone loaded with features.
