Top 5 reasons to buy quality rugged smartphones

Have you ever accidentally dropped your smartphone into water or on the hard surface? Has your child ever poured water on your smartphone or thrown it on a floor while playing a game or watching a cartoon? In most cases your smartphone was found dead or faulty, or broken. We listed top 5 reasons why the rugged smartphone is becoming more popular and worth buying.


Reason #1: Shatter Proof



If your top brand smartphone accidentally drops from 4 feet up on the floor, as a result it will be dead or broken. Especially for the phone with curved screen like Galaxy S7 Edge. If you tend to kill your phones you need a quality rugged smartphone, because it has a great ability to survive water, dust and accidental drops.

Reason#2: Water Proof

Are you worried about your smartphone, whenever you give it to your child for playing the game or watching a cartoon? You will probably answer "Yes". A quality rugged smartphone comes with the IPS68 certificate which means you don't have to worry about water, dust, and drops. You can swim, take underwater photos, and use it in the rain.



Reason#3. Dust/Scratch Proof



Even a pretty tiny pebble can make a big scratch on the phone, many users buy thick cases and screen covers to save their phones from dust, water and scratch. Thanks to the IPS68 certification, the device remains undamaged in case it drops on a floor or in water.


Reason #4, Massive Battery

Rugged devices are built for outdoor activities, so you need a smartphone with huge battery capacity to keep it on until the end of the activity. A quality rugged smartphone is equipped with a big battery which can work for a long time (usually up to 3 days).

Reason#5: Military-grade body

The most common standard for rugged devices is MIL-STD-810G which certifies products to handle rapid temperature changes and a wide number of other environmental challenges, rugged smartphones are able to function even in temperatures below zero.

Conclusion

There is no doubt that having a rugged smartphone can at least save much money for getting your phone repaired, and you can feel free to use it in any situation. Some consumers may dislike the appearance of rugged smartphones, they think these handsets are bulky and too big for them, but I am wondering what the difference is if you put a flimsy phone in a bulky case for protection? For many users, rugged smartphone is a great choice whether it is as a back-up handset or a primary handset. And it seems that ruggedness is the key to success in the current market.

If you are interested in waterproof, dustproof, rugged phones in general, you can also take a look at AGM M1 - not a smarthone but a regular (or feature) phone. This kind of devices would be THE phones to consider when going hiking, sailing or kayaking. Not only they are rugged, but also can last a week on a single charge.

Smartphones have dominated the phone market for years and now feature phones take very little market share with the severe decline of Nokia enterprise, nevertheless feature phones still can take advantage of their super long battery life, physical keyboard, and portability, some of them even feature IP68 certification which offers resistance to water and dust. The AGM M1 is also shock-proof.

There are drop test and water test to see how tough the phone is in the video below, which I believe very few smartphones can get through.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAkD_8fN-aM

The AGM M1 is IP68 certified, and has powerful specs for a feature phone -- 2.0 inch QCIF display, 2MP waterproof camera, 2570 mAh battery, hybrid slot for dual SIM cards, and expandable storage for up to 8GB of TF card.

Frozen in ice for over 36 hours! Will the rugged AGM X1 survive?



As we all probably know, all devices offering IP68 protection are waterproof and dustproof, and some of them can also be shock proof, they can survive under water over 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 m. AGM company seems not satisfied with only water resistance, their flagship AGM X1 has been taken to go through a cruel test: frozen inside a big ice for almost 36 hours.

The video about freezing the AGM X1 is below:

Now the AGM X1 officially launches and is available throughout the world at $299.99, for example at Aliexpress.

Can Nomu S30 survive from 100 ft Drop with Soda Cans onto Concrete？

This time, Nomu S30 is facing the test of 100 ft drop with bottles of soda wrapping it up!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whaH0zRCbOY

As you can see in the video, Nomu S30 is surrounded with 9 cans of soda, and the tester is standing on a floor about 100 ft high, then he throws it way to the concrete ground, and boom! With a second almost all the sodas are blasted away due to the high speed, and again Nomu S30 is still intact without a bit of damage…

(If you do not know that already, NOMU S30 features IP68 rating, and comes with 5.5-inch 1080p display covered by Gorilla Glass 4, MediaTek MT6755 octa-core processor, 5 MP front and 13 MP rear cameras, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB of internal storage, Android 6.0 Marshmallow and 5000 mAh battery with quick charging technology.)


And if you want something cheaper, Nomu S10 is the cheapest one among Nomu devices, and it is the most cost-effective IP68 Rugged smartphone around the world. It carries MTK6737T quad-core chip along with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB ROM, Android 6.0 OS and a massive 5000 mAh battery. But it is only $115 at Aliexpress store.

Four water-proof phones you'll want right now


Lots of people tells you electronics and water cannot mix. If you work outdoors, tired of being afraid of having something spilt on your precious phone; or you just want to Tweet while you shower. Whatever the reason, an IP67/IP68 rating smartphone should be at the top of your shopping list. The following are 4 waterproof smartphones I would recommend.

iPhone7/7 Plus



Although iPhone7/7 Plus almost looks like the same as iPhone6s/6s Plus except for adding two new colors and redesigning back antenna, there are still some new impressing features. Aside from iPhone 7 Plus coming with dual rear cameras for the first time, what appeals to me is that iPhone7/7 Plus finally come with IP67 rating water and dust resistant which allow for briefly dunking in the water. Besides, iPhone7/7 Plus come with the most powerful specs especially the A10 processor that is almost twice as fast as iPhone6s/6s Plus. It is safe to say iPhone7/7 Plus is one the best smartphones in the world. When you are looking for a smartphone with water and dust resistance, taking iPhone7/7 Plus into account is reasonable.

Galaxy S7 Edge



Samsung made Galaxy S5 feature IP67 2 years ago, and now Galaxy S7 Edge is also IP68 dust and water proof (30 minutes in water over 1.5 m deep). As the best android smartphone after Galaxy note 7 suffered its disastrous failure, not only is Galaxy S7 Edge equipped with high-end specs but also has the gorgeous appearance with the edge to edge AMOLED display and a metal body, but also the performance of its cameras is very likely to be the best of all the smartphones including iPhone7/7 Plus. Galaxy S7 Edge definitely deserves being considered by everyone who is into Android phones.

Sony Xperia XZ



Sony Xperia XZ as the latest addition to their flagship X family features the general rectangular slab-like design, with glass up front, an all metal back plate, and of course, an IP68 rating for resistance to dust and water. In terms of specs, Xperia XZ comes with a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32 GB or 64 GB of on-board storage, 23 MP rear and 5 MP front cameras, bears 2,900 mAh battery which is good enough for a full day of use. This device is priced at $699 which is in the same price range as Galaxy Note 7, I would say the price is a bit high, but if you want a high-end smartphone with IP68 rating and you don’t like Galaxy S7 Edge, then you can’t ignore Sony Xperia XZ.

Nomu S20



After introducing 3 high-end flagships, now I am going to recommend a budget rugged phone named Nomu S20 which comes with a 5-inch HD display, 8MP rear and 5MP front cameras. Under the hood, this phone comes with MediaTek quad-core 4G LTE processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM and is packed with 3000 mA battery along with a fast charging feature. Nomu S20 has IP68 rating just like Galaxy S7 Edge, but unlike those three above, Nomu S20 is a professional rugged phone. It is able to survive a drop from 1.5 meter height, which those high-end flagships are too fragile to survive. Also, -20℃ to 55℃ working temperature range allows you to use it in most of the places you can imagine. You can feel free to use this handset without worrying in the most unexpected conditions. What’s more, $169.99 price point make it the most affordable waterproof smartphone. If you do not have hundreds of dollar to spend, maybe Nomu S20 is a good choice for you.
