Protected devices are quite popular among fans of smartphones. Such phones, on the one hand, are able to “survive” any working conditions, perfectly functioning even somewhere on a trip, being smeared in the mud. At the same time, they are not afraid of falls from a height, shock and moisture - each shockproof waterproof mobile has a housing that meets a number of protection requirements.
In this article, we will make a small rating of smartphones that are not afraid of either dust or moisture. It will be attended by those gadgets that appeared on the market in 2015 and at the same time showed themselves quite brightly.
Cat s50
The device in question is intended for travelers, lovers of extreme sports, as well as the military. This is not just a shockproof phone; A smartphone is able to encrypt data stored on it. According to the stated technical information about the device, it complies with the MIL-STD-810G safety protocols.
Externally, the phone also looks impressive: its body is composed of several panels made of metal. Their corners are rubberized (in order to make handling the model more convenient).
As for the hardware, the smartphone runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Its clock frequency is 1.2 GHz, and the amount of RAM on the device is 2 GB.
The smartphone’s battery capacity is enough for the device to work for a couple of days - it reaches 2600 mAh. However, in terms of autonomy, the phone can not be called hardy.
teXet TR-3200R
The Russian company teXet can please the buyer with a secure “from all sides” device. She presented the model TR-3200R, which is positioned as a device resistant to any impact. This is a shockproof waterproof phone with 2 SIM cards, which has all the necessary communication tools (in the form of a Wi-Fi module, 3G adapter, Bluetooth module). The technology of assembly of the body used heavy-duty plastic, the thickness of which reaches 1.2 mm. Even just to split it would take a lot of effort.
The device has a defiant design, consisting of two parts - black and bright orange components. This makes him a real “athlete."
Land rover x8
Another unusual model is the eponymous version of the smartphone, released in honor of the English Land Rover off-road car. The device comes complete with an external antenna that amplifies the signal and allows you to use the phone as a walkie-talkie.
The processor on which the device operates consists of eight cores with a clock frequency of 1.7 GHz. The RAM here reaches 3 GB (it is not clear only why an unpaired number is declared in the characteristics). This is a hardy shockproof waterproof phone for 2 SIM cards, which will be useful in the most dangerous situation.
Savgus V2
This smartphone is made in the form of a high-tech device. Due to this, the device is in no way inferior in design to any Samsung Galaxy S4. The large screen and slim body really give the model grace and style; however, appearance is deceiving. Here is a waterproof shockproof phone for 2 SIM cards, which is useful in any trip.
Not only that, the device has a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, so it is also equipped with a processor, whose clock frequency is 2.5 GHz. It is also worth noting the presence of a capacious battery (at 3100 mAh) and an optimized system of charge consumption, which allows to reduce its consumption by 1.5 times.
SnowLizard SLXTREME
An interesting solution came up with the developers of a special accessory, which has a rather long name, albeit little known. It allows you to turn any smartphone into a waterproof shockproof phone (for 2 SIM cards or just one - it depends on the initial model of the device). Its design is arranged in such a way that after its installation any device can be immersed to a depth of up to 20 meters without fear of the owner. In addition, with the help of a cover it is even possible to open tin cans.
An additional battery with a capacity of 2800 mAh also plays a significant role. It is mounted directly in the case, so it will be able to “save” you at the right time, when it will not be possible to charge the gadget.
And thanks to special adjustable bolts, the mobile can be turned into such a waterproof shockproof phone with 2 SIM cards.
Sigma Mobile PQ33 Xtreme
Another interesting representative of the “protected” world is the Ukrainian product from Sigma. The device is “packaged” in a classic case for such gadgets, made in yellow and black. The material of the “shell” is plastic, which has a large thickness. Due to this, damaging the smartphone by acting on it mechanically will not be so simple.
Plus, of course, the developers took care of the “smart” stuffing: a display with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels, a processor from MediaTek MT6592, a camera with a 13 MP sensor. All this adds functionality to the device, making it a real helper in difficult operating conditions.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active
The Korean giant in the electronics world has decided to release a waterproof shockproof phone (2 SIM cards) based on the previously released “flagship” - S6. In fact, this is a simple modification that endowed the device with such capabilities as the ability to withstand moisture and dust, mechanical stress and shock. The smartphone retained its outstanding functional characteristics, a powerful processor, excellent build quality, a capacious battery and an accurate camera, and at the same time acquired an additional “skin”.
Device rating
As you can see, this article contains several brief reviews of the most interesting (in our opinion) devices with a high degree of protection against dust and moisture. Although, frankly, the market for such gadgets is gradually growing, and it is not so easy to transfer all shockproof phones to two SIM cards. It is impossible to conduct a review of each, but to select the best is not so simple, because there are two criteria - security and functionality. Therefore, you should not call the description of several interesting gadgets a rating, since hierarchies and placements in it can not be foreseen. So the information obtained in the article will be called, rather, a characteristic of some devices with a high degree of protection.
