A phone that is not afraid of shocks. Shockproof and waterproof phones

Extraordinary popularity in lately got secure smartphones. It seems that there were no special prerequisites for users to be so actively interested in mobile devices with thick cases - whatever one may say, but large companies pay more attention to it. Manufacturers, on the contrary, are coming to the conclusion that smartphones are becoming less reliable when they are encased in glass cases. Be that as it may, along with stylish devices, the top sellers are shared by rugged smartphones that can withstand falls from great heights, dive into the sea and become weapons, if necessary. Today we invite you to take a look at similar phones, new products on the market and proven old-timers.

Geotel G1 Terminator

We think it's a worthy name for a secure smartphone. Geotel is a Chinese company that can easily be confused with a dozen other companies from the Middle Kingdom that bear similar names (Gretel, Gionee). True, Geotel has focused its attention on the category of secure smartphones that every user can afford. In 2017, the company showed the G1 Terminator, a smartphone whose name already hints at its power. The model turned out to be very successful. The main features were low cost, protected housing and powerful battery.

• Geotel G1 was received current version
• A 5-inch screen with HD resolution will not cause admiration, but will have a positive effect on autonomy
• The cameras are 8+2 megapixels, the manufacturer did not provide a flash, but a powerful flashlight was placed on the top end
• The processor is budget - MediaTek 6580 - so about modern games I'll have to forget
• The memory is in perfect order - 2 gigabytes of RAM and 16 GB of storage
• The battery has an impressive capacity of 7500 mAh

HOMTOM HT20

Among the powerful rugged smartphones of 2017, the HT20 is one of the cheapest models that has received IP68 certification, which provides complete protection from dust and the ability to immerse the gadget in water to a depth of 1 meter. HOMTOM HT20 did not turn out to be the most brutal on the market, and the other characteristics are unlikely to surprise anyone. However, do not underestimate it in terms of security. The smartphone doesn’t mind falling, it’s not afraid of water, and it feels like it can survive any disaster. It is noticeable, of course, that the manufacturer tried to make it as cheap as possible, but in some ways this was only beneficial.

• Equipped with protected Android smartphone 6.0
• The screen has compact dimensions - 4.7 inches with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, which in some ways is only a plus
• The cameras are mediocre - 13+5 megapixels, but you can get a good photo
• Performance is ensured by the budget MediaTek MT6737 chip, the only positive aspect of which can be called 4G support
• Memory volumes are classic for this segment - 2+16 gigabytes
• Quite a powerful 3500 mAh battery, which can perform well, given the weak “filling”

HOMTOM HT20, despite being a secure smartphone, pleases with its dimensions. The model fits well in the hand, rounded edges and a small diagonal have a positive effect on ergonomics. Those who do not like frequent trips to the outlet will be satisfied autonomous battery, but everyone else will be pleased with the price.

Chinese company Blackview has also managed to mark several secure smartphones with powerful battery. One of the latest models has become, which acts as a budget solution with IP68 certification, which ensures complete immunity to water and dirt. The thick case, made of rubberized plastic and metal inserts, among other things, ensures resistance to falls from great heights and shocks. Blackview BV6000s was specially designed for lovers of travel, hunting and fishing, so it can survive in the most extreme conditions.

• The user interface is based on Android Marsmallow
• Quite compact 4.7-inch screen with HD resolution does not consume much energy
• A pair of 8 and 2 megapixel cameras is good for rare shots
• The low-end MediaTek MT6735 quad-core chip provides the user with 4G support
• 2 GB RAM are allocated to the needs of the system, and 16 GB is available to the user (there is support for memory cards up to 32 GB)
• The 4500 mAh battery not only provides 3-4 battery life, but also charges very quickly

Blackview BV6000s is not just one of the best rugged smartphones of 2017. The model is even equipped with NFC, an interface that more expensive devices are not ready to boast of. It allows you to produce contactless payment, as well as pair gadgets with each other. Blackview BV6000s is definitely worth the 7000-8000 rubles that are asked for it in Chinese online stores.

Do you want to buy a good, secure smartphone, but what is important to you is not only the reliability of the case, but also the “filling”? Then let's move on to the middle segment. The Nomu S30 sits comfortably here, taking the reliable shell from popular shockproof mobile phones, and the hardware from fairly powerful middle-class devices. In general, the Nomu company is familiar to many users who prefer brutal devices to sophisticated smartphones - it specializes in similar ones. Therefore, it was not difficult for the manufacturer to get into the top sales.

• Nomu S30 is based on Android 6.0
• The smartphone is quite large due to the 5.5-inch high-resolution display, which covers safety glass
• Very decent 13 and 5 megapixel cameras, which is not so common in this category
• Relatively powerful 8-core MediaTek chip Helio P10, capable of clock speeds up to 2 GHz
• There is more than enough memory - 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM
• 5000 mAh capacity charges quickly and shares energy with other devices

Nomu S30 is an almost perfect rugged smartphone for 2017. It is moderately large, equipped with a capacious battery that will last for about 3 days of operation, and the hardware is pleasing. The manufacturer even forked out money for camera sensors from Sony and protective Gorilla Glass fourth generation. But apparently there wasn’t enough money for NFC, although a port certainly wouldn’t have been superfluous. In addition, the smartphone may surprise you with its impressive dimensions, which will not allow an untrained user to operate the Nomu S30 with one hand.

This rugged smartphone is quite different from its counterparts. The T5 tried to combine style and reliability. And he succeeded. The smartphone is presented in a case, the main part of which is made of leather, and the security of the design is ensured by an alloy of metals, high-quality plastic and glass. Doogee T5 can truly be called one of the most premium rugged smartphones on the market in 2017.

By the way, the manufacturer presented the same model in a version more familiar to the secure class of smartphones. Instead of leather, in this case we will find durable plastic. Otherwise, the characteristics are comparable.

• The software is based on the still current Android Marshmallow
• The 5-inch screen has a positive effect on the dimensions of the Doogee T5, and the HD resolution does not drain the battery at lightning speed
• Cameras with typical characteristics for this segment - 13+5 megapixels with minimum set modes
• A fairly powerful 8-core MediaTek MT6753 processor that confidently copes with any everyday tasks
• Impressive 3 GB of RAM, seasoned with 32 GB of storage
• A 4500 mAh battery will easily last for 2-3 days of active work

Blackview BV7000 Pro

Once again, the brainchild of Blackview, which realized that users were especially interested in its inexpensive rugged smartphones. The BV7000 Pro is a more stylish and expensive model than its predecessor. The smartphone not only became prettier in appearance, but also acquired more advanced hardware, which helped it break into the ranking of the best-selling gadgets in 2017. Blackview BV7000 Pro, without losing its reliability, has become smaller, thinner and more elegant, which only pushed users to actively buy a new smartphone.

• BV7000 Pro was introduced on Android 6.0, despite the fact that the Nougat version was already distributed at the time of launch
• The screen is a compact 5 inches, but the resolution is FullHD, which many may find unnecessary in this case
• Very high-quality 13 and 8 megapixel cameras that will not leave you without memorable pictures from fishing or travel
• Not top-end, but affordable for the price of the Blackview BV7000 Pro, MediaTek MT6750 chip with 8 computing cores
• Impressive 4 GB for needs operating system and applications and no less impressive 64 GB – for user tasks
• Not the most capacious 3500 mAh battery, but with support for fast charging technology

Blackview BV7000 Pro tries not to lag behind others in anything modern smartphones. Do you prefer microUSB more convenient? USB Type-C? No problem. Need a fingerprint scanner? Please. Can't do without good screen protection? Get third generation Gorilla Glass. Blackview BV7000 Pro is certified to the IP68 standard, which provides complete protection of the smartphone from dust and water (submersion to a depth of one meter for half an hour is possible). For the 11,000 rubles that the manufacturer asks for a protected smartphone, it’s difficult to find something better.

Ulefone Armor

A fairly well-known company has also made a name for itself with a powerful, secure smartphone. Moreover, its line is already represented by a couple of models, but it is the first one that is of the greatest interest, since it costs an order of magnitude cheaper. Ulefone Armor has adopted the design from its classmates: durable rubberized plastic interspersed with metal also predominates, and the screen is protected by durable glass. The manufacturer did not skimp on the “filling” so that the user would not be constrained during the work process. Ulefone Armor, of course, does not live up to the premium rugged smartphones on the market in 2017, but there is nothing to reproach it with.

• Current version of Android OS Marsmallow
• Compact 4.7-inch HD screen covered with scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 3
• Average cameras for this price range are 13 and 5 megapixels
• 8-core MediaTek MT6753 chip, which copes with most of even the most complex tasks with a bang
• 3 gigabytes of RAM and 32 permanent memory, which is enough for most users
• 3500 mAh battery, which is not impressive on paper, but in real use shows its best side

Ulefone Armor received an advanced IP68 protection class and even acquired an NFC interface, for which I would like to praise the manufacturer. Modern processor allows a secure smartphone to work in 4G LTE networks, and also quickly cope with searching for satellites (GPS, GLONASS). Now Ulefone Armor has a price tag of about 10,000 rubles, and it’s worth that money.

Also stated NFC support, and as navigation systems GLONASS and GPS are presented. However, for high-quality assembly and sophisticated hardware, the manufacturer asks about 17,500 rubles.

Rugged smartphones from Blackview appear so often in our top best models for 2017 for a reason. The company managed to get ahead of its Chinese fellow countrymen by introducing updated devices in a durable case with enviable regularity. Relatively recently, the line was replenished with the Blackview BV8000 Pro, which immediately found its buyer. A secure smartphone makes me happy high quality assembly and modern characteristics, which are represented not only by the most desirable standard of protection, but also by the hardware platform.

In our daily life, the mobile phone has firmly established its position as a must-have and required device communications. It is no longer a luxury item, as it was 10 - 15 years ago. With the development of technology, mobile phones have evolved from conventional push-button bulky and heavy devices to ultra-thin and light counterparts with touch control.

But with the movement of progress, shockproof and waterproof phones. An indestructible mobile phone, first of all, is in great demand among people leading an active or extreme lifestyle, as well as those working as security guards or rescuers.

Secure phone: how to choose, advantages and disadvantages

First, when choosing a phone, you need to decide on the functionality of the device: do you need a modern one with a large range of useful functions and applications, or will a regular push-button version with basic options be sufficient? The cost and further choice of the mobile phone brand will depend on this choice, because not all companies specialize in the production of push-button telephony and with touch controls. Depending on the manufacturer this equipment has advantages over conventional devices and their analogues.

The main advantages that help you survive any extreme situations that indestructible mobile phones have:

• ability to withstand falls onto concrete from a height of more than one meter;
• resistance to prolonged vibrations;
• Possibility of prolonged immersion in water to a depth of one meter;
• screen armor that can withstand any mechanical damage: scratches, chips, cracks, etc.

But having the advantages of their execution, they are also not deprived of disadvantages:

• the price is an order of magnitude higher compared to conventional mobile phones;
• rough and angular body shape;
• large overall dimensions;
• relatively heavy weight.

Attention! When choosing a device, you also need to pay attention to the IP protection class. This classification determines the level of security mobile telephony.

IP degree of protection. Detailed classification

All over the world, a unified classification of electrical equipment security has been established (IP) (Ingress Protection Rating, translated from English as the level of protection). It classifies the level of dust protection and water protection and complies with the international standard IEC 60529.

According to this classification, electrical equipment is marked IPXX (XX - two digits), which first indicates the degree of resistance to dust and other foreign bodies, and then the level of protection from water. The detailed classification is presented below:

Accordingly, the IP 68 protection class means complete protection of your mobile phone from exposure to dust and water seepage when the device is immersed to a depth of more than one meter, ensuring stable work unlimited time.

Impact-proof properties do not have such a clear classification, and the resistance of a model to any type of mechanical damage can be judged based on the results of crash tests and consumer reviews. However, the design of the device is designed in such a way that it will reliably protect your mobile phone from accidental falls from a height of less than one meter.

Battery

In addition to reliable protection from shock and moisture, an indestructible phone must have good battery large capacity. , having in their arsenal a lot useful applications: compass, thermal imager, walkie-talkie, GPS module, etc., consume quite a lot of energy and require a maximum capacity (mAh) for certain dimensions.

Advice. In addition to capacity, an important parameter is the duration of battery life and continuous conversation.

Safety glass

The glass that protects the screen of a phone and especially a smartphone must be resistant to scratches, cracks and other mechanical damage. For devices with a high level of protection, it must have a three-layer structure: the top and bottom layers are tempered high-strength glass, the inner layer is polyethylene film with high tear resistance. This design is called triplex. Also armored glass may have an outer glass that can withstand high temperatures.
