We are used to smartphones being fragile, eleganteveryday helpers requiring careful treatment and extra protection in some situations. For example, such a device should be used in a case so that in case of a fall, its internal components are not damaged; but in order to preserve the integrity of the fragile touch screen, you need to use a protective film, which serves as another layer, taking all the scratches on yourself. So, most users manage to preserve both the appearance of the device and its functionality at the factory level.
However, there is a category of smartphones for whichall these and other measures are required. These are phones that are, in essence, protected, protected from any possible damage. They are also called “shockproof smartphones”, because such a phone, despite its functionality, is not afraid of falls from a height or any other mechanical effects. In today's article, we will look at just a few such devices so that the interested reader knows what they are and what they are.
Immediately I want to describe the concept, whichadhere to manufacturers that produce shockproof smartphones. As a rule, such devices are equipped with a high degree of protection, represented by powerful glass, reinforced casing, as well as a rubberized shell that can prevent the ingress of moisture into the casing. Due to this, the majority of phones in this category have a somewhat cumbersome and rather large appearance. For example, it will be somewhat inconvenient to use them in everyday life (especially for girls).
However, not all shock-proof smartphones are like that.There are also gadgets that have a sophisticated design and easily fit in a pocket. True, the degree of protection without a dense layer of plastic or rubber is seriously reduced.
As a rule, shockproof smartphones (reviews aboutthey are confirmed by this) have not as productive technical stuffing as the devices we are used to, which we use in everyday life. The reason for this, apparently, lies in the purpose of the phone: as a rule, protected devices are necessary in “field conditions”, where high-speed processor operation or the presence of a high-precision camera are not required. Such phones are required, for example, to be able to determine their location using GPS, to communicate via the network in areas where the signal is weak; support for the work of two SIM cards, the availability of memory cards and other things will not interfere.
In view of this, the protected shock-proof smartphones are not equipped with the fastest processor, a small amount of RAM, or a new version of the operating system.
An important aspect of the functioning of any suchdevice is the presence of a volumetric battery. This follows from the needs that are facing the phone of this class - the need to keep the charge as long as possible in the absence of power sources. This is logical, because in nature (hiking, hunting or traveling) there is no possibility to connect the phone to the charger, which is why a powerful battery is needed. As a rule, developers take this into account when completing their shockproof smartphones.
In order to have an idea about thosedevices that we characterize in this review, we invite you to familiarize yourself with some of the best-in-class gadgets presented as recently as possible. In the article we present not only their brief description, but also a number of characteristics that interest us. Thus, they will be reviewed and, in addition, a picture of what the devices are. Below they are listed.
One of the most successfully sold devicesreleased under the brand so unfamiliar to us all. The phone has an unusually high technical performance due to fairly powerful equipment. For example, here stands the MTK6589T processor, installed on low-end models of full-fledged smartphones. In addition, the device boasts 2 GB of RAM, a colorful screen that transmits a high-quality picture, as well as a 13-megapixel camera. By its parameters, the device breaks stereotypes (in particular, one of those described above) that a shock-proof smartphone on the “Android” cannot be productive.
This is another powerful novelty with 4-core.MTK-processor, which will give odds to many "civilian" phones without rubberized casing and protective panels. The phone has an attractive “harsh” design, which is not only of aesthetic value, but also helps to increase the security of the device. Again, this is a shockproof and waterproof smartphone capable of maintaining performance in almost any environment.
True, here the manufacturers miscalculated a little with the capacity of the battery, installing a 2650 mAh battery on the phone. This is frankly not enough.
Это устройство несколько отличается от упомянутых above. In terms of technical characteristics, it really lags behind - it has a small screen (2 inches), a simple processor that does not differ in performance, a 1950 mAh battery. In addition, there are some additional modules installed: 3G-adapter, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS.
But according to the degree of security, this is the best anti-shock smartphone. He deserved such a title thanks to a number of practical tests, for which he was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
The name of the company producing this phone is unlikelywhether something will say to most readers of this article. The developer has prepared an interesting solution for real travelers and adventurers. This is a "hybrid" of the phone and radio. From the first, a powerful quad-core processor is installed here, which resembles the first two of our “heroes” of the review, as well as additional systems inherent in many smartphones. From the radio, here, in fact, only the signal transmission and reception module, which operates in such a way that it can be caught at a distance of up to a kilometer (in an urban environment). It is possible that in open areas the signal strength will expand this range, allowing you to keep communication with other participants.
А этот участник нашего рейтинга доказывает, что Not all shockproof smartphones are expensive. The survey showed that there are budget models that have a high level of security and, thus, can perfectly behave in practice. At least, this sample in question has 1 GB of RAM, an MTK6589 processor with a frequency of 1.2 GHz of each core; 8 megapixel camera. The cost of the model is about 10 thousand rubles - for the money the buyer gets a display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels. The battery pre-installed here has a capacity of 2800 mAh.
As you prepare reviews with which youread above, we also met reviews of some smartphones. They are of a different nature and for the most part they positively note the level of work of the device itself. In particular, from the point of view of security, the models really show themselves from the good side. However, there are flaws in something else: audibility, battery endurance, stability. Indeed, in the first place, the shockproof smartphone on the “Android” is a phone that can also have some minor flaws that make it less comfortable to interact with it. Therefore, choosing such a gadget, you should pay attention not only to how it is protected, but also how it behaves in everyday life.
Shockproof and waterproof todayA smartphone can become irreplaceable somewhere on a long journey, far from civilization and familiar comfort. However, for this you need to take care that the device meets all your requirements and does not fail at the most inopportune moment. To do this, we recommend not to chase the budget, so as not to run into poor-quality Chinese products, but choose more carefully. We hope this review will help you make the right choice.
