In everyday life, we are accustomed to usingtelephones that have a powerful technological potential, but remain fragile, elegant and not protected from external factors. For example, even if you have an iPhone, you should beware of it, because if it falls, the device may fail. The same goes for most other devices - a large touch screen makes them vulnerable to bumps, and various functional openings (such as a headphone jack) pose a risk of dust and moisture getting into it, which can also damage the device.
In this article we will look at telephones thatcardinally differ from such a concept. No, these are not traditional "bricks" with a minimum of functions; we consider high-tech, multifunctional models capable of performing a wide variety of tasks. At the same time their security allows these devices to contact with water, with sand, to succumb to mechanical action - and to remain unscathed.
The article will be written in the form of a list of the mostworthy models. It is not possible to create a rating from protected devices, as it will be necessary to choose by which criterion the evaluation should be performed - the performance or the degree of security of the device.
Meet: we present dust and waterproof, shockproof neubivaemye phones.
About the company that released this product, you,most likely, did not even hear. The reason for this is the absence of our country in the list of regions to which these devices are supplied. Nevertheless, you can buy it in Russia.
The phone clearly deserves attention on a number ofreasons. First, of course, this is the highest degree of security of the phone. At that, we are talking about both protection against mechanical damage and encryption of data transmitted with its help. The device, thus, can be used for communication on important matters, and you can take with you to travel anywhere in the world. In addition, the phone has a stylish appearance, which is also unusual, given the design of most other secure devices. If we are accustomed to seeing that an unbreakable waterproof phone is a huge, rough "brick" of sporting color, then DuraScout is a stylish smartphone with a large screen that can be used in everyday life. 2GB of RAM, a 4-core processor and a powerful battery give the device a significant functionality. Its cost is about 500 dollars (in the US).
Another interesting representative of the classprotected devices - a phone that can not be killed either in terms of physics or in terms of cybernetic influence - a model protected "from all sides" is the BT55. The device was released by Chinese developers in 2015. Despite this, the smartphone has managed to gain widespread fame and attract a large number of buyers. And, if we take a look at its characteristics, it will not be difficult to understand the reason for such success.
Not only can the apparatus reallyto resist any destructive factors, it is also equipped with the latest technology: it has an eight-core processor (with a clock speed of each core of 2 GHz), a colorful five-inch display, and has a battery capacity of 3200 mAh. The device can be taken on any trip without fear for its serviceability. It is worth the apparatus on one of the Chinese auctions of about 250-300 dollars.
The device that we will describe in thisparagraph, released by a company that has long been present in the market for secure gadgets. This is Sigma, which is in the category of "brands of non-slaughter phones" and occupies a place in the top three.
The PQ33 model is a true confirmation of this.The device, protected from all sides, shows incredible performance, as for such a gadget. This is achieved through the work of the 8-nuclear "heart", successfully combined with the operating memory of 2 GB. Camera device is not inferior to the best "civilian" smartphones due to the resolution of the matrix of 13 megapixels. True, this set of features is not cheap - the model is offered at a price of 34 thousand rubles.
Protected phones are made not only in the US orChina. So, one more worthy copy can be found among the products of French developers. In particular, we present the model Fieldbook F1, which is also able to show good results in terms of work under extreme conditions. This is another phone that does not work with the help of moisture, dust or mechanical shocks. It can be dropped and not be afraid that the model will fail.
In this case, unlike the Chinese Cruiser,phone F1 is made in an elegant design, which includes a large screen size of 6 inches. Also, the device has excellent technical parameters: 4 cores of the processor with a clock frequency of 1.5GHz, and also 2GB of RAM show a high level of performance. In addition, the developers have implemented the ability to support microSD cards up to 2 terabytes (!). This allows you to turn a smartphone into a real hard drive for storing data, say, during a hike or a trip to a remote locality. A real device for travelers and just a non-slaughter phone with a powerful battery.
Another phone with an excellent level of protection isthe brainchild of RugGear, model RG970 Partner. The device is made in a classic case for this type of apparatus - a "brick" with rubberized plugs and sidewalls, capable of withstanding, as it seems at first glance, a drop from any height. In addition to the strength of the case, the phone can also be noted for a good stuffing, which includes the 2-core processor MediaTek, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G. To navigate better than this device will not be able to find the same on the functional phone.
"Unquenchable" RG970 Partner will cost 36 thousand rubles.
Another Chinese product is a protected smartphoneX-Men X2. The device is presented in the budget price class, although it also has all the basic functions necessary for use in travel and hikes. For example, there is a 4-core chipset, there is a RAM of 1 GB, and also a hardy battery of 5800 mAh. With such parameters, the model can be attributed to simple devices that can help in a hike. Moreover, due to the capacious battery, the device will be able to work for a long time on a single charge, which is already a positive quality for a phone capable of being a camera, a means of communication, a multimedia center, and a navigator. This is a real neubivaemy phone with a powerful battery.
It's no secret that Caterpillar,specializing in the production of construction equipment, is also engaged in the production of mobile phones. What is noteworthy, we are talking about unmounted cell phones, capable of carrying various extreme conditions without disrupting performance.
One of the most protected in this categoryis the Cat B15Q. The model is not the newest - it was introduced in 2014, and even as of today it can be considered one of the most enduring in the market. This is achieved due to an incredibly strong massive case, so the phone is unbreakable. The exterior of the device is such that it is not very convenient to use it in everyday life, but for tourism it is just right.
However, the technical characteristics of the device suffer a little due to its "physical" component - there is only 1 GB of RAM, a 1 GHz processor, and a 2000 mAh battery.
An interesting solution was the product frombudget tablet manufacturer and teXet "reader". The model is made of plastic and rubber (although the traditional component for such devices as it seems at first glance, there is a metal case). According to its protection class IP68, the phone is able to remain intact even after falling from height to asphalt. However, to say that this is the best neubivaemy phone, you can not - brings hardware. Here there is a processor, whose clock frequency is 1 GHz, and the operating memory reaches a volume of 768 MB. With these characteristics, the device can be used, perhaps, as a navigator, camera or a means of communication. To perform some more complex tasks, it most likely will not work.
