There are many different shockproof phones out there today. For an unknowing person, choose a model with optimal performance very difficult. In addition, not every buyer knows what to look for when buying. If you want to buy a phone in a rugged and rugged case, you need to look at the following indicators:

1. Dustproof... It can only be IP5X or IP6X.
2. Water resistance... Only IPX7 (withstands up to 30 minutes diving to a depth of up to a meter, not intended to be used underwater) or IPX8 (withstands frequent dives for an hour to a depth of up to a meter, can work).
3. Impact resistance of the case... Must meet MIL-STD-810G, which is assessed based on the performance of the case and components (rubberized parts, metal parts, ABS plastic).
4. Impact resistance of the screen... MIL-STD-810 standard, the brand of glass, its thickness, protrusions on the ends of protective bumpers, the design of corners and ends are taken into account.
5. Equipment... It is determined using a benchmaker, taking into account the actual OS, the amount of memory, the number and frequency of cores, support for standards, formats, and so on.

7. Gps... A very important indicator for travel. I must quickly catch the signal, give the most accurate data.
8. Autonomy... Another important indicator in long trips and travels. It is determined not by the capacity of the installed battery, but by the duration of continuous communication in the GSM network.
9. Equipment... Rugged phones have a fairly standard set of functions, but certain ones have exceptions in the form of travel applications, walkie-talkies, compass, carabiner, tape, extra battery, and the like.

Economical option

The best rugged smartphone can be inexpensive - it's real. Our rating contains 3 budget models, which, in our opinion, are considered the best in their price category... They have all the necessary functionality, are durable and with a fairly large battery life.

1. Leagoo M5

The average price of a model running Android 6.0 is 4,300 rubles. This is an inexpensive and high-quality touchscreen smartphone that can withstand quite heavy loads.

RAM 2 GB, in addition to the built-in memory (16 GB), it is possible to increase the volume by another 128 GB, which is very useful.

Has a classic case, you can install 2 SIM cards (work in turn), a capacitive five-inch screen.

• cameras (8 and 5 megapixels);
• supports all standards GSM, 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi;
• Li-polymer 2300 mAh battery;
• voice dialing and control, fingerprint sensor, proximity, flashlight.

But no matter how good the Leagoo M5 is, users also note its shortcomings. These are software problems. Many are not satisfied with a weak battery and low-quality cameras. Sometimes there are problems with the sensors, weak sound, heats up with prolonged use, the screen is soiled and there is no backlight for the touch buttons.

Prices for Leagoo M5:

2. Kyocera DuraForce

The average price of this smartphone is much higher than the previous one - 16 thousand rubles. And the question immediately arises - what is the reason for this difference?

And everything is very simple - the model not only has a shock robust housing, but also perfectly protected from water penetration.

Runs Android 5.1, for one nano SIM card. The classic case is equipped with mechanical buttons and a 4.5-inch capacitive IPS screen. 4 cores, a powerful processor and 2 GB of RAM guarantee the speed of your smartphone. If 16 GB of internal memory is not enough for you, it is possible to expand it by 32 GB by means of a memory card.

Main characteristics:

• shockproof shield, all connectors with plugs;
• scratch-resistant glass;
• playback of different formats of audio and video files;
• IP68, MIL-STD-810G
• camera 8 MP;
• support for GSM, 4G, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, GPS, GLONASS;
• voice control;
• Li-Ion battery 3100 mAh.

But as practice shows, everything is not as sunny as it seems. The large standby battery (over 500 hours) is overshadowed by just 17 hours of talk time. Some users claim that the mobile phone constantly loses its connection, poor sound quality. Despite the capacity of the battery, its charge is quickly consumed. Mechanical buttons are very uncomfortable, like the body itself, the camera is very sensitive to the slightest movement.

But this model also has enough drawbacks. First of all, users are not satisfied that Glonass can only be installed optionally. In addition, many are repelled by the rather high price, although it is considered a budget model. Sometimes the manual lock button does not work, many do not like the screen resolution and weak filling.

Prices for Torex S18:

It makes sense to pay more

If you are looking for a smartphone with a powerful battery, with better hardware, functionality and features, then you will have to pay more. This is fully justified and correct for those who travel frequently and do not have the opportunity to regularly charge their phone. In addition, such models often have additional useful functions.

1. Runbo Q5 LTE

This option will cost almost 30 thousand rubles.

For that kind of money, you will have the opportunity to use the device not just as a smartphone, but also as a walkie-talkie.

The model is powered by Android 5.1 and a quad-core 1300 MHz processor, which provide a quick response to any task. The standard is the amount of RAM - 2 GB and built-in - 16 GB. But if the latter is not enough for you, then it can be increased using a memory card of 128 GB. You can connect 2 SIM cards.

Main characteristics:

• water resistant, shockproof body, scratch resistant glass;
• capacitive screen 4.5 inches, sensors, built-in walkie-talkie;

• cameras 13 and 2 Mp;
• battery 4200 mAh;
• voice control, transmitter with a power of 2 watts.

But besides the positive qualities of the model, its shortcomings should also be noted. One of the main disadvantages is the size and weight of the smartphone, but something has to be sacrificed. In addition, it has its own original charging, so problems arise when searching for wires and other charging when replacement is required. The battery sometimes lasts for a short time as a result of active calls and using various applications. Moreover, the design is not the most original.

The best rugged and rugged phones can be different, unique, original and feature rich. It is necessary to understand that you will have to pay for quality and additional functions, and sometimes a lot. But if you like extreme sports, travel a lot, are fond of sports and at the same time want to stay always in touch, then buying a hardy device with a large battery supply will be the right decision.

Read, everyone a waterproof phone is shockproof? What does the IP68 protection class mean? And what smartphone is not afraid of water? TOP 10 phones.

It should be noted that the presence of a waterproof case does not guarantee you permanent storage of the device at great depths. Most often, the device is able to remain intact only for the first half hour. And even then, in this case, we are talking about a shallow depth - as a rule, several meters.

If the device fell into the open sea when you were on a yacht, then you can say goodbye to it. Even if the yacht has scuba gear on board. The exact conditions of waterproofing should be read on the official website of the smartphone manufacturer - in the technical specifications you will find the so-called waterproof standard.

Most often, waterproof smartphones are also shockproof. But this rule is not always observed. The fact is that now a special glue inside the phone can provide water resistance.

At the same time, the body remains thin, and therefore, after falling onto paving slabs or asphalt, chips and even more serious damage may appear. That is why our selection includes not only the flagships of well-known companies.

Phone Waterproof Standards

Almost every smartphone with a waterproof case receives the so-called certificate of dust and moisture protection. Only those manufacturers who want to save money do not send their devices for special tests. If the certificate is received, then it is prescribed in the technical specifications in the form of IPxx. The first number indicates the degree of dust protection. The second figure concerns water. Often, manufacturers write IP68 on their phone and say it's very cool. :

• 0 - splashes freely penetrate under the body of the device;
• 1 - the gadget is protected only from vertically falling water drops;
• 2 - the device is protected from vertically falling water drops, but at the same time it can be tilted 15 degrees;
• 3 - the device is not afraid of splashes of water, sprayed at an angle of up to 60 degrees;
• 4 - the gadget is not at all afraid of water splashes, at whatever angle they fall on the body;
• 5 - the device is not afraid of water jets falling on it from any angle;
• 6 - the device is protected against strong water jets;
• 7 - the device can withstand short-term immersion under water;
• 8 - the device can be under water for a long time, usually half an hour is meant).

Thus, the IP68 rating indicates that the smartphone has a dustproof case and can withstand prolonged immersion in water.

It is on the certificate of dust and moisture resistance that you should be guided by if you use your smartphone in especially difficult conditions. One should not forget about the technical characteristics, so as not to buy a very weak device. We draw your attention to the fact that some phones also receive the Military certificate - you can trust him even more.

Let's see which waterproof phone is better.

Kyocera Brigadier

An excellent smartphone for tourists and skiers. The fact is that this smartphone is not only not afraid of water, but also protected from all kinds of impacts on stones and other solid objects. The manufacturer assures that the smartphone is able to stay under water for up to half an hour - only after such a period of time, the performance will be lost.

As you know, moisture has a detrimental effect on the touch keys. In this regard, they are replaced here with physical buttons. The display, of course, remains touch-sensitive. Otherwise, it would be impossible to manage the operating system. By the way, so old version"Green robot" - this is a significant drawback.

The manufacturer claims that the device's 4.5-inch display is well protected. But buyers in the reviews indicate that sapphire glass is used as protection, and this is not the best way... As far as the characteristics of the waterproof phone are concerned, they are not perfect.

However, 2 GB of RAM, a quad-core processor from Qualcomm, a camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels - many users do not need more. The undoubted advantages of the smartphone are its relatively small size and the presence of a barometer.

Advantages:

• Decent amount of memory;
• The screen has a high pixel density;
• Compact dimensions for a device of this class;
• There is a barometer;
• Military 810G certified;
• A good processor is built in.

Disadvantages:

• Not the longest battery life;
• Very high cost;
• Weak plugs;
• Unpretentious front camera.

Conquest S6 OCTA waterproof phone, and also shockproof

Fully protected smartphone. Its body consists of a variety of rubber inserts. Inside is waterproof glue. As a result, the device complies with the IP68 standard. This means that the device will be able to stay under water for at least half an hour. And one of the colors - yellow will make it easy to find a smartphone even in troubled water.

The display of this device is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. This allows us to hope that the stones will leave only scratches on the front surface. However, it all depends on the height of the fall. Another undoubted advantage of the device is the battery. Its capacity reaches 6000 mAh.

In the presence of an energy efficient eight-core processor, this allows you to count on several days of battery life. However, do not forget that the shock-resistant case and such a capacious battery affect the weight.

In general, the device evokes only positive emotions. The HD resolution of the display is ideal for a 5-inch diagonal. The camera is not the worst here - it has a resolution of 13 megapixels. A nice bonus is the ability to recharge from the docking station.

Advantages:

• Has protection even according to the Military MIL-810G standard;
• A powerful processor is used;
• Implemented charging from the docking station;
• Good rear camera
• There are two slots for SIM cards;
• Very long battery life.

Disadvantages:

1. Android version could be fresher;
2. Weighs 312 g;
3. Not the most best job navigation module.

Caterpillar Cat B30

The simplest waterproof mobile phone. Any operating system is missing here. That is, the manufacturer decided to rely not on functionality, but on compact size and ease of dialing. He also endowed the gadget with two SIM card slots. He did not forget about the rear camera, but its resolution is only 2 megapixels. However, for a push-button device this parameter is also very impressive.

Usually push-button telephones have a built-in memory amounting to tens of megabytes. But the Caterpillar Cat B30 is the exception to the rule. This "tube" offers 1 GB of memory for data storage! And if this is not enough, then you can use a microSD card. The body of the device is protected against impacts on a hard surface.

There is also some water resistance here. But it cannot be called complete - the device received an IP67 certificate. That is, after submerging under water, the phone should be brought to the surface as quickly as possible. There is also a limitation on the immersion depth - it should not exceed 1 m.

The mobile phone has a WAP-browser that works with the help of 3G networks. Also, the support of two SIM-cards should please, which allows you to combine tariffs different operators... But the rest of the phone's characteristics cause a feeling of chagrin. For example, the battery life leaves much to be desired - it is 4 hours of talk time. A simple one is built in here and a display - electronic books you definitely don't read on it.

Advantages:

• Small size and light weight;
• Nice appearance;
• You can insert two SIM cards;
• Large amount of RAM and permanent memory;
• You can access the Internet via 3G.

disadvantages:

• Bad camera built in;
• Short battery life;
• The screen has a very modest diagonal;
• Overpriced price tag.

Ginzzu R62

This is a waterproof phone that might seem like a lot to buy. And the size of the mobile phone cannot be called tiny, which will also not suit some potential buyers. But on the other hand, the device has a huge number of rubber pads that will definitely save the phone if it falls somewhere on the asphalt.

The increase in size also benefited the battery - its capacity was an impressive 1700 mAh. As a result, you will have to use the network adapter no more than once every three days. Unless you use a walkie-talkie, which is very energy-consuming.

Yes, the Ginzzu R62 differs from its competitors in the presence of a walkie-talkie. It operates in the 400-470 MHz range. In a word, a pair of such phones will be very useful for hunters, fishermen and, for example, builders. However, it is not necessary to buy this particular model - Ginzzu and some other companies also have other mobile phones with a walkie-talkie operating in this range.

Advantages:

• Capacious battery;
• There are two slots for SIM cards;
• Not a bad camera with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels;
• Built-in walkie-talkie;
• Excellent protection according to the IP68 standard;
• Robust screw assembly.

disadvantages:

1. The device has almost disappeared from store shelves;
2. There is almost no memory of my own;
3. There is no 3G support.

Vkworld New Stone V3

One of the most inexpensive phones with a brutal protected case. The device complies with the IP68 standard. This becomes clear not only after reading the technical specifications, but also when looking at the appearance of the device. Rubber keyboard, lots of softening pads, orange colors ...

This apparatus can clearly withstand a drop from a great height and submersion under water. And under its back cover is a 3000 mAh battery. This allows the owner of a mobile phone to go on a multi-day hike, and during it never use a portable battery.

Another feature of Vkworld New Stone V3 is the availability three slots for SIM-cards... The buyer will also have to use the memory card slot, because the volume of the built-in storage of this phone is only 64 MB. The device can be used for photography, albeit not of the highest quality - resolution rear camera reaches 2 megapixels. As you might guess, there is no "front-end" here at all.

In general, the device leaves behind a positive impression. You can only find fault with the fact that you can buy it in Russian retail chains impossible. Unfortunately, the Chinese company Vkworld distributes its creations only through GearBest, AliExpress and other similar online stores.

Advantages:

• Attractive price tag;
• Up to three SIM cards can be inserted;
• A loud speaker is being used;
• Good shock and water resistance;
• Long battery life;
• You can charge another gadget with your phone;
• Comparatively good camera
• Nice 2.4-inch display.

disadvantages:

• We'll have to wait for delivery from China.

Not all waterproof smartphones are required to have a shockproof case. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S8 does not have any rubber pads. This made it possible to leave the dimensions of the device quite sane. And it cannot be said that the very first fall on the paving slabs will crush the smartphone.

Corning Gorilla Glass, which covers the front and back panels, protects the smartphone according to all the rules. If the landing is successful, then you will find only small chips on the side end.

As for water resistance, the device complies with the IP68 standard. That is, the device can be dropped somewhere in the pool - nothing will come of it. I am glad that the South Koreans have provided a full-fledged flagship with such protection. As a result, the buyer receives a device with maximum performance.

It even has the ability to unlock by scanning the iris of the eye, which almost none of the competitors offer. And do not forget that South Korean products are certainly equipped with an AMOLED screen, which contributes to a long battery life.

Another undoubted advantage of the smartphone is the large number of high-speed wireless modules. An excellent camera is also built in here. In short, it is not surprising that the Galaxy S8 has a circulation of tens of millions of copies sold.

Advantages:

• There is support for LTE-A of the sixteenth category;
• A camera with f / 1.7 aperture and optical stabilization is used;
• Powerful processor;
• Large amount of memory;
• There are gyroscope, barometer and fingerprint sensor;
• There is a high-resolution AMOLED display;
• Supports two SIM cards;
• The latest version of the operating system.

Disadvantages:

1. High price;
2. Slippery glass body.

Apple iPhone 8

Apple's smartphone, released in the fall of 2017, is also waterproof. It is implemented, however, according to the IP67 standard. Therefore, do not leave your phone under water for any length of time. Otherwise, this is a typical iPhone. It does not differ too much from its predecessor - perhaps that is why the device is not in great demand. Soon it will come to the point that the smartphone will start selling at discounts. And this will be a great chance to get acquainted with Apple products first!

The smartphone has a glass cover on both sides. As a result, it is difficult to leave scratches on the case - for this you will have to use a combat knife. Glass can break, it all depends on the height of the fall of the device and the type of surface on which the landing takes place. As for the characteristics of the smartphone, they are not satisfactory.

The device includes a powerful processor, thanks to which the iPhone 8 ranks second in the ranking of smartphones according to AnTuTu Benchmark. Above is only the Plus version with a larger display. The device includes a 12-megapixel camera, supplemented with optical stabilization.

Its aperture is capable of opening up to f / 1.8, which is a very good result. The main advantage of the camera is that it can shoot 4K video at 60 fps. The picture is displayed on a 4.7-inch screen with a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels.

The device has a huge number of supported LTE frequencies. This allows it to transfer data at high speed in any country where networks are supported. fourth generation... And the device was also equipped with a large amount of memory. Operational, at least. As for permanent memory, as you know, there is never a lot of it. And there is also a slot for microSD cards no, which only complicates the situation.

Advantages:

• Very good rear camera
• Powerful processor;
• Decent amount of RAM;
• Decent front camera
• A large number of wireless modules;
• Long battery life;
• Compact size and light weight.

disadvantages:

1. Waterproof only according to the IP67 standard;

3. No memory card slot;
4. Very high price.

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017)

A wonderful South Korean smartphone for those who do not want to spend a lot of money on the purchase of such a device. They ask for about a couple of tens of thousands of rubles. For this amount, you will receive a waterproof device with a 16-megapixel camera, the aperture of which can be opened up to f / 1.9.

The front panel of the device houses a 5.2-inch display, created using AMOLED technology and having a Full HD resolution. A capacious battery paired with an energy efficient screen and the same processor provide two to three days of battery life. Only constantly active Bluetooth and regularly launched games can reduce this time. Importantly, the device supports fast charging, and an AC adapter endowed with the appropriate technology is included in the package.

The device includes 32 GB of permanent memory. The smartphone is also able to please with a fingerprint sensor, gyroscope and barometer - it is surprising that the South Koreans did not save on these sensors. Everything is in order with the device and with wireless modules - everything you need is present here.

• Long operating time from a full charge;
• All necessary sensors are present;

To process such a picture, a powerful processor is required. And the smartphone has it - a top-end solution from Qualcomm is used.

Another feature of the Japanese device is the camera. It is a 19-megapixel module. Within seconds, the camera is capable of shooting at 960 fps.

• screen: 4.7 ", 1280 x 720;

Caterpillar Cat S40 - good parameters, weak battery

The Cat S40 does not belong to the most affordable price category anymore - you can buy it for at least $ 330.

At the same time, the size of its RAM is not impressive - for the same price it was possible to install more than 1 gigabyte of RAM on the phone.

A camera with a resolution of 2 megapixels is also not suitable for everyone.

However, shock protection, the ability to submerge the supply and work in frost down to -25 degrees are the factors thanks to which the smartphone still finds its customers. Moreover, among its advantages one can also name a bright screen and quite modern processors.

Specifications:

• display: IPS, 4.7 ", 960 x 540 pixels;
• chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 210, 4 cores, graphics - Adreno 304;
• camera: 8 and 2 megapixels;
• amount of memory: operational - 1 GB, built-in - 16 GB;
• battery capacity: 3000 mAh
• model price: from 20 thousand rubles.

Cat S40 - Medium performance, short battery life.

Vchok M9 - a model that guarantees constant communication

The features of the M9 are not too famous brand Vchok has a good battery and high resolution of the main camera.

These advantages make it possible to compensate for the relatively small built-in memory and far from the most powerful processor.

And the presence of a built-in radio, which provides communication even in the absence of a signal from a satellite, makes the smartphone an indispensable item for travelers, climbers and athletes who prefer to train away from populated areas.

Since the popularization of secure smartphones in the global market, Chinese manufacturers have not stopped offering their gadgets to end consumers. Vchok M9 - one of the last Chinese smartphones, which are really worthy of our attention, despite the high cost.

• chipset: 4 cores MT6735, 1.3 GHz;
• cameras: 2 and 13 megapixels;
