Rating of the best protected phones by user reviews

Modern smart phones are gradually getting at their disposal an ever larger screen. Previously, devices with a 5-inch display were called shovels, whereas now they do not cause any disparaging feelings. The trouble is that a large screen can be very easily broken. That's why you need to handle the smartphone carefully. If only it is not a protected device. This device is usually endowed with rubber inserts and other means of protection, thanks to which the device remains intact and safe even after falling from a sufficiently high altitude. Today we will talk about protected phones. All the models considered collect only positive reviews, and they can be found in many Russian electronics stores.

Protected phone of which brand to choose

Ginzzu

Manufacturer of equipment under the brand Ginzzu specializes in protected phones. In the assortment of the company there are both push-button and sensor devices. Many of the devices support high-speed data transfer via 4G.They are not inferior to conventional smartphones and in terms of other characteristics. The case of Ginzzu products is often painted in yellow or orange colors - this allows you to quickly find the phone on the snow or in the grass.

RugGear

Another specialized manufacturer of secure phones. It was founded in 2006.It all began with the creation of secure electronics, which was then branded by well-known manufacturers of construction equipment. But gradually the company RugGear concentrated on the production of products under its own brand. It began to be made push-button mobile phones, equipped with powerful protection. And now on the shelves of shops you can find protected smartphones RugGear. Their main difference from the products of competitors is increased reliability. The company does not even shy away from providing customers with a two-year warranty.

Runbo

Runbo smartphones are primarily designed for those who go on a long hike. In this regard, they receive a capacious battery and waterproof housing. These devices work well with a GPS chip, so it's easy to track your location. It is interesting that the company creates even protected tablets. But this is a highly specialized product, which you are unlikely to find in the nearest store.

Samsung

South Korean company Samsung regularly releases protected versions of its flagships. Such devices receive slightly less powerful components, but they survive even when falling from a sufficiently high altitude. The tradition of producing similar devices can be traced back to the first half of the 2000s, when Samsung's handset buttons with a serious level of protection could be found on the shelves of stores, which was a response to Siemens and Nokia.

SENSEIT

Another well-known smartphone manufacturer. But not all devices created by him are protected. Yes, there to say, not all products are smartphones. The company tries to keep its nose to the wind, regularly releasing something completely new. For example, now she offers to buy an intelligent outlet, which can be operated from anywhere in the world, where there is access to the world wide web. As for the protected SENSEIT smartphones, they survive all the crash tests, which means maximum reliability.

The best protected push-button phones

SENSEIT P7

One of the most indestructible mobile phones. It is equipped with orange patches, which soften the landing and make the device more noticeable in the snow( although there are other color options).Also, there is water protection, due to which the device must remain operational even after falling into a shallow river.

Pluses:

• Listen to FM radio;
• Reasonable weight and dimensions;
• Presence of Bluetooth-module;
• Presence of an alarm clock, a calculator and other useful utilities;
• Charges other devices with its energy;
• A few days of battery life are guaranteed.

Disadvantages:

• Only one SIM card slot;
• The screen resolution is very modest( 128 x 160 pixels);
• No GPS;
• It's better to forget about the built-in camera.

Mobile phones with similar characteristics exist since the first half of the 2000s. However, never the machines were so tenacious. Reviews on SENSEIT P7 show that this model remains in working condition and after diving into water, and after being in the snow, and after falling out of the window on the second floor. Certain problems in the mobile phone are available only with the process of recharging. First, it is very long - you will need about 10-12 hours. Secondly, some instances give an error after reaching the 50% mark - to resume the process you need to disconnect and reconnect the charger. As for energy consumption, there are no complaints in this respect. You can go on a multi-day hike and do not use the stored portable battery at all.

Runbo X1

A real monster for those who are going to get as far as possible from the cell tower. It is guaranteed to catch the signal even at a very long distance. To thank for this is an external antenna, screwed to a special connector. This allows you to recommend your mobile phone even to travelers who want to look at nature, where the human foot rarely steps.

Advantages:

• Sample weight and dimensions;
• An external antenna can be connected;
• Not a bad 2-inch LCD screen( 176 x 220 pixels);
• Built-in FM tuner;
• Support for Bluetooth technology 2.1;
• Built-in walkie talkie UHF;
• A decent running time from a single charge.

Disadvantages:

• Awesome camera;
• Ability to use only one SIM-card;
• No support for MP3;
• Too overpriced.

Reviews on the Runbo X1 indicate that not everyone uses this device as a mobile phone. Someone sees in him only a radio, the range of which reaches 5 km. With the task of transferring speech, the device does it perfectly. But the rest of the functional is not rich. Yes, there is a calculator, task scheduler and alarm clock. But there is no support for MP3, because of what to use the phone as a player does not work - from music to the owner is available only FM-radio. You can also regret the flashlight, which shines very dimly.

The best protected smartphones

Runbo X6 LTE

Beautiful device, running Android 5.1.Supports the installation of two SIM-cards. It also has a variety of wireless modules. The smartphone is hard to fault, because in terms of technical characteristics, it is close to the flagships of 2015.

Advantages:

• 13-megapixel main camera;
• Display with Full HD resolution;
• Availability of NFC and Bluetooth;
• Perfectly working GPS-navigation;
• A decent running time from a single charge;
• Data transfer with 4G;
• Presence of FM tuner;
• A good processor and a decent amount of RAM;
• Presence of built-in walkie-talkies( UHF standard).

Disadvantages:

• Weighs 392 g;
• Mediocre front camera.

Another device that can be used as a walkie-talkie. Only the power of the transmitter here has already been reduced to 2 W, due to what the quality of reception and transmission of the signal has improved healthily. In the rest it is a typical smartphone from the higher price segment, the main difference of which is increased security. Of course, it's possible to damage the device, but it is easier to do it intentionally. Incidentally, the device can only be lost. Approximately this is evidenced by reviews on the Runbo X6 LTE.

Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 SM-G388F

If you want to get a secure smartphone from a well-known manufacturer, then your choice is predetermined. In our country, only Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 can be purchased from worthy devices. This is one of the latest South Korean models intended for those who like active sports.

Advantages:

• Support not only LTE, but also LTE-A;
• Not a bad 5-megapixel camera;
• South Koreans did not forget about FM-radio;
• Availability of Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC;
• Perfectly functioning GPS-module;
• A good working flashlight;
• Not the shortest battery life.

Disadvantages:

• Protection is far from the maximum;
• Ability to use only one SIM-card;
• Not an ideal screen.

Reviews for Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 SM-G388F show that the South Koreans did not seek to create an unbreakable smartphone. Yes, there are rubber pads and special inserts that soften the landing and protect it from water. But you can still get the device out of order. It should not be purposefully beat against stones and perform other tests with him. It turns out that this is the so-called urban extremal.

RugGear RG970 Partner

The creators of this smartphone have tried to achieve the maximum possible battery life. At the same time, they did not want to increase the capacity of the battery, causing the user to suffer from heavy weight. No, they just reduced the resolution of the 5.3-inch LCD to 540 x 960 pixels. As a result, the processor does not need to strain - the energy it devours extremely slowly.

Advantages:

• One charge is enough for a long time;
• Completely decent 8-megapixel camera;
• FM radio is not forgotten;
• Memory shortage is not felt;
• Built-in barometer.

Disadvantages:

• Old Android 4.1;
• The screen resolution is slightly distressing;
• A rubber plug in a year may require replacement.

Reviews of the RugGear RG970 Partner show that this device can not be called ideal. However, many users have a list of advantages, which results in more lists of shortcomings. In particular, people like the inability of the device. And this is for us in the realities of this collection is the most important. Demanding such a device smart display and a powerful processor is pointless - it will greatly devour battery power, and also affect the price tag.

Which secure phone to buy

If you understand that you only need to use a protected phone, since the usual one quickly gets a lot of damage, then focus on our current material. The more durable are the button phones. The fact is that the diagonal of their display is at best two inches. Namely, the screen is considered the most vulnerable place of any electronic device. The smaller it is, the harder it is to damage it. If you agree to accept the lack of a full-fledged operating system, then consider the button phones. In the end, they are much cheaper.

1. The choice between Runbo X1 and SENSEIT P7 will not be as complicated as it seems to you. If you need a built-in walkie-talkie, then look towards the first option. Well, the second mobile phone has lightweight functionality, but it provides more battery life. In a word, everything is very simple!

2. Regarding the protected smartphones, equipped with Android operating system and touch screen, everything here is more complicated. If you want to buy a durable model, then prepare to shell out a lot of money. Even relatively inexpensive RugGear RG970 Partner can afford not everyone who wants to buy a smartphone. And this is not the best model - its characteristics are far from ideal.

3. Where more worthy choice will be Runbo X6 LTE, which costs about 10 thousand rubles more. There is also support for LTE, and a cool screen, and powerful accessories.

4. It's interesting that almost twice cheaper is the more famous Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 SM-G388F.But it is not designed for too serious a test. This is an ordinary fighting horse that can only withstand use in urban conditions. A traveler can easily kill this model, despite the presence of rubber inserts and linings.
