The stronger phone you ask for is just this phone am using ( Cat S6 pro rugged ) you can check it online and you tell me the price in the market. Mind you I want to sell my own
Re: In Need Of A Rugged Phone With Good Battery Life And Memory For My Wife by MemoriesAndMe:
Get a Ulefone. Not sure if they're sold in Nigeria but I've been using Ulefones, different versions for almost 10 years now.

One full charge will last about a week. Drop it from a mountain, it never breaks. Go swimming with it, it's waterproof. You can even charge other phones with it - it's battery is a power bank by itself.

You can check some reviews on YouTube. It's great for battery-life and ruggedity. You can even use it as a hammer if you want to test it's ruggedity. Many versions are crazily rugged. It may be just you and a few people in Nigeria that own one, so it's easy to find it when stolen or lost. It's various models, just choose the one with your budget that meets your expectations.

I usually order mine from either Amazon or eBay, I think it's sold on AliExpress, jiji,ubuy, and Jumia too.

Samsung still remains one of the best phones, and they also have second hand value more than the Thecno and Infinix, as long as U maintain them.... Their A-series are also pocket friendly and easy to repair...
Please how much is screen repair? Because that's how phone repairers use it to gather their rent money

let me break it down for U this way.... Samsung has 3 types of screen, the original screen, the midrange screen and the cheapest screen...

Now if the phone has on screen finger print, the on screen finger print can only work when U put the original one... And the brightest of the phone will also be very high..

The midrange screen, this particular one will still serve u very well if U are a very careful person, the on-screen will not work, the brightness won't be as the original...

Then the last one which is the cheap one, it usually comes by luck, if U are lucky it will last, if U are not lucky it won't last long, so once U put this one, start gathering money for a new phone or original screen...

As for their prices, the difference between A series Samsung and android screen is not much... It's not usually more than 15k different.... Though the A series is not as fine as durable like the S and Note series... But it's still better than many Techno, Itel, redmi and Infinix.

What is your budget? Is it an open budget?
That will determine the best option. But based on battery, memory, camera and durability, you can consider:

Samsung Galaxy A55 – 5000 mAh battery, 50 MP camera, up to 256 GB storage, strong build with Gorilla Glass and water resistance.
Tecno Camon 30 – Very good camera and large storage, good for the price.
Samsung Galaxy A34 – Reliable battery and performance.
Tecno Camon 20 – Affordable with decent camera and storage.

Recommendation: If budget allows, go for Samsung A55. If you want something cheaper but still good, Tecno Camon 30 is a solid choice.
What of Samsung s21 ultra 5g

I own both the Apple iPhone 4, circa 2010 and Samsung Galaxy 9, circa 2018 both products still going strong. I just ungraded to a Pixel 9A on sale and no complaints so far. I didn't want to pay the Pixel 10 price.
A few ppl suggested a good power pack for your Mrs.
Good reviews on this one.


The ONLY Battery Pack YOU WILL EVER NEED! Anker 165W Charger!

Re: In Need Of A Rugged Phone With Good Battery Life And Memory For My Wife by Habeebpain(m): 5:46am On Mar 11
For a rugged phone, consider brands such as Oukitel, AGM or Blackview. You'll find them on Jumia.
If you want a popular brand, look for one that has dust and water resistance. At least one with an IP64 rating. Then order a rugged case from AliExpress and a pack of glass screen protectors.

Redmi phone is very ok, Especially the real Xiaomi and their Note series as well.... Their C-series is their cheapest ones... They'll still serve u.. But A-series is better than redmi C-series

Hello! It is obvious that most of the people answering have no clue what a rugged phone is. So, let me educate: A rugged phone is a phone specifically made for outdoor adventures like hiking, rock climbing and water rafting. They are so strong that a car can climb ontop without the glass or the phone breaking. Examples of rugged phones manufacturers are;
1. Doogee
2. oukitel
3. Ulefone
4. AGM
5. Blackview
6. Caterpilar
