If you are in need of a truly rugged, shockproof, dust and moisture resistant smartphone, our list of the best rugged / shockproof smartphones will help you.

Every time your smartphone is on the floor after a fall, you expect to see its screen intact, but it often breaks. Most people, in order to exclude such cases, buy protective covers and stick protective films / glass on the screen. But even that won't always save your phone from damage.

For those who work in challenging conditions or are active and exposed to environmental influences, a rugged / shockproof smartphone that meets the protection class and military security standard may be the best choice. A rugged smartphone will be a smart choice as a second phone, while playing sports, traveling in nature and traveling.

What does IP67, IP68 mean

Internatiol Electotechnical Commission (IEC) - The International Electrotechnical Commission has developed a series of standards that characterize the ability of a device's enclosure to resist the ingress of solid particles or water. After checking by tests, the device is assigned a security class.

IP - International Protection Marking - international protection codes.

If we consider it applicable to smartphones, then the code consists of two digits IP (XY).

"X" the first digit indicates the protection class against the ingress of external solid particles such as dust. In smartphones, this is usually 5 or 6.

"5" - means that the device is dust-protected, but some amount can get inside, but does not harm the operation of the device.

"6" is a dustproof device, solid particles cannot penetrate inside the device.

"Y" - denotes the class of protection against moisture ingress, in smartphones it is 7 or 8.

"7" - short-term immersion in water to a depth of 1 m. During short-term immersion, the liquid does not enter in quantities that can disrupt the operation of the device. Continuous operation of the device in a submerged position is not expected.

"8" - Immersion in the lead, lasting more than 30 minutes and to a depth of more than 1 meter. The device can be submerged.

What MIL-STD-810G stands for

MIL-STD-810G- Military Standard a set of properties for laboratory tests, allows you to find out the resistance of a variety of equipment to all kinds of influences. Passing MIL-STD-810G tests is a prerequisite to participate in the procurement of equipment and components for the USA and NATO Department of Defense

Purpose of the standard:

• Identifying gaps production processes, packaging technology, design, materials used, and service methods.
• Evaluation of the effective operation of equipment when exposed unfavorable environmental conditions.
• Determination of influencing factors, their magnitude and duration during the life of the equipment.
• Development of methods for laboratory tests and testing of equipment and the length of its life cycles.

To stand out, the best rugged smartphones offer more than ordinary features like having a thermal imager, a VOC meter, or being used as a PowerBank to recharge devices. Be sure that in the rating of protected smartphones, all devices are dust and moisture resistant, which means they correspond to the IP68 class, they also have a reinforced case, which will protect them from falls. Keep in mind, though, that although the devices have been tested to military standards, the fall may be different from laboratory tests.

There are a large number of secure smartphones on the market, it is not so easy to choose truly high-quality ones. Of the major manufacturers, only Samsung has a line of protected galaxy smartphones Active, which unfortunately is not supplied to Russia. But after analyzing, having studied many reviews, tests and customer reviews, we found more interesting brands, the German AGM, the American Catpillar and several Chinese brands.

What to count on in a rugged / shockproof IP68 smartphone

• Battery from 3500 to 6000 mAh
• Most have at least 3GB of RAM, and some have 6GB.
• IP68 rated and MIL-STD-810G compliant
• Memory card slot

The Internet project "Be Mobile" has prepared a guide to the best secure phones. Such devices are not afraid of water, dust, dirt, or falls on the asphalt, and their operating time reaches a week.

We continue to publish a selection of the most interesting mobile devices... We recommend reading:

Protected models are often bought by those who love extreme sports - alpine skiing, snowboarding, aquabike, ATVs, hiking and the like. These phones can be safely dropped in sand, water, ground or asphalt. After the "incident" the device will continue to work as if nothing had happened.

It should be noted that all protected models are marked according to the classification of the degree of protection of the enclosure of electrical equipment against the penetration of solid objects and water - (abbreviated as IP). You can read about what the numbers of this classification mean.

It is interesting that even in the segment of rugged phones there is room for imagination, and some manufacturers create devices that can literally swim. Such models are in demand by fishermen and beach lovers.

There are frequent cases when protected phone models are equipped with a walkie-talkie for operational communication with each other in cases where there is no mobile signal.

Review of rugged smartphones with powerful batteries

In the huge variety of modern phones, there is such a category as rugged smartphones. This group of devices is not so large, since manufacturers focus mainly on large displays, increasing the power of hardware, adding some additional functionality. All this puts the battery down and negatively affects the autonomy of the gadget. There is also a focus on elegance and large displays. As a result, reliability, strength and safety are reduced. Some users are not satisfied with this and are primarily interested in the strength and security of the smartphone, as well as a powerful battery for long-term operation without recharging. In this review, we will consider such non-killable smartphones with a capacious battery.

Manufacturers are trying to protect the same conventional models of smartphones, but the measures taken are not enough. For example, tempered glass has good hardness, but due to its low thickness, they are very fragile. This is not enough for shockproof rugged phones. Modern OGS technology makes the display more vulnerable to damage to the display. On sale you can find top models with a case made of titanium or aluminum alloys. Despite the fact that manufacturers advertise these materials as coming from the space and defense industries, they create only a visible sense of security. They are tougher than plastic, but they are not suitable for the title of not being killed.

Today there are some manufacturers that are developing and producing rugged smartphones with a powerful battery. Such models are aimed at professional athletes, lovers of extreme recreation and thrills. A certain demand for such non-killable smartphones is also found among law enforcement officers, the military, and rescue workers. In general, among those who work in hazardous conditions. Below we will consider interesting phone models for this category of users, with shock-resistant, waterproof cases. In addition, close attention was paid to the selection of smartphones with a powerful battery.

Another category of potential buyers of secure smartphones is tourists. Manufacturers, when releasing non-killable smartphones, are guided by such tightness standards as IP67 or IP68. Long time is also very important for tourists. autonomous work... After all, on hikes there is no outlet through which you can recharge your phone. But such phones are not only protected by their security and powerful battery. Other interesting features are also important for travelers. This is the presence of all kinds of sensors, a walkie-talkie, a radio receiver, etc.

An important role for the economical consumption of battery power is the presence of energy-saving functions in the phone. An important thing for a protected smartphone is the ability to quickly charge in order to charge the gadget during intermediate stops on the way. By the way, read about. Taking into account all these parameters, the models were selected in the rating of the best non-killable smartphones with a powerful battery.

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

But with the movement of progress, shockproof and waterproof phones began to appear. An indestructible mobile phone, first of all, is in great demand among people leading an active or extreme way of life, as well as working as a security guard or rescuer.

Protected phone: how to choose, advantages and disadvantages

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

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

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

But having the advantages of their performance, 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 should also pay attention to the IP security class. This classification determines the level of security of mobile telephony.

IP degree of protection. Detailed classification

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

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

Dust proof		Protection from moisture
	Zero security level	IPX0	Zero security level
	Protection against foreign bodies larger than 50 mm		Protection against wicking of vertically falling water
	Protection against foreign bodies larger than 12.5 mm		Protection against water directed at an angle of 15 °
	Protection against foreign bodies larger than 2.5 mm		Protection against water falling at an angle of 60 °
	Protection against foreign bodies larger than 1 mm		Water resistant at any angle
	75% dustproof		Protection from weak jet up to 3 minutes
	100% dustproof		Protection from sea water, strong flows for more than 3 minutes
			It is possible to submerge in water up to 1 m for 30 minutes.
			Stable performance in water at a depth of more than 1 m for an unlimited time

Accordingly, the protection class IP 68 - 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 operation indefinitely.

Shockproof properties do not have such a clear classification, and it is possible to judge the model's resistance to any type of mechanical damage 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 drops from a height of less than one meter.

Accumulator battery

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

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

Protective 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 upper and lower layers are tempered high-strength glass, the inner layer is a polyethylene film with high tear resistance. This design is called triplex. Armored glass can also have an outer glass that can withstand high temperatures.

Rugged phones rating 2016 - 2017

The pioneer in the production of mobile telephony with an increased level of protection was the Sonim company. But releasing only push-button models with a basic set of functions, it could not compete with other manufacturers, who topped the rating of unkillable phones. Below is the top 5 ranking best phones 2016 – 2017:

Council. When choosing a phone, first of all, be guided by your needs and conditions of intended use.

Shockproof and waterproof mobile phone will function stably in any extreme situations. You can always be sure of its reliability, you will stay in touch in any situation.

Checking a shockproof waterproof phone - video

Summer is rich not only in pleasant activities in nature. We went for mushrooms - we got caught in the rain. We went to the well - doused ourselves with water. Let's go for a bike ride - fell into a puddle. We sat down with my grandmother at a samovar - they spilled tea. All these small surprises can be fatal to the smartphone, which we carry with us out of habit. But some smartphones don't care about water!

Water resistance: how is it?

In general, any smartphone is waterproof to some extent. The only question is to what extent - some can withstand only a couple of drops from wet hands, while others can be immersed in water for a long time. The level of protection of the shell against dust and moisture is usually designated by the IPXX index. The higher the second digit of the index, the more resistant the smartphone is to moisture. Manufacturers usually emphasize three degrees of protection:

IPX5 - the smartphone is protected from water jets no matter in which direction it falls. This device is not afraid of rain;
IPX7 - the smartphone can withstand short-term immersion in water to a depth of 1 meter. Dropped into a puddle or sink - it doesn't matter. They took it, rubbed it - it's okay;
IPX8 - the smartphone can be immersed in water to a depth of 1 meter and left there, but for a maximum of half an hour. At the same time, it will remain functional.

It is important to understand that we are talking about fresh water. Sea water, chlorinated pool water, water from a puddle with gasoline stains - all these liquids can damage even the most waterproof smartphone.

Smartphones that are not afraid of water

Let's see what smartphones can be waterproof. Surprisingly, absolutely any, even flagship ones!

Senseit R390 + Senseit R390 + is a smartphone for real extreme lovers. It has received IP68 protection and is almost afraid of nothing. Incidentally, including falls. See how powerful the bumper is? True, the filling here is unpretentious - for practical people who see a smartphone primarily as a means of communication. Namely, a 4-inch screen with a resolution of 800x480, a MediaTek MT6572A dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory, an 8-megapixel camera, all standard radio modules, support for two SIM-cards and - attention! - Lantern.

Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen)

Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) is a budget LTE smartphone from the legendary American brand that meets the requirements of the IP67 protection degree - it can survive a short submersion in water. This device has a 5 '' HD display protected by scratch-resistant Corning glass Gorilla Glass 3, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, which has become the basis for hundreds of low-cost LTE smartphones, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory.

The resolution of the rear and front cameras is 13 Mp and 5 Mp, respectively. It is noteworthy that the Moto G comes with three interchangeable backs of different colors, and this is very important. After all, with each back, you seem to change the whole smartphone. Is not it?

Sony Xperia M5 is a smartphone with cool cameras, ready for any surprises. Sony engineers were able to provide the highest degree of dust and moisture protection IP68 without compromising design. As a result, the beautiful, light and thin Sony Xperia M5 is not afraid of talking in the rain or spilled tea and is able to hold out at a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes.

Other advantages include a 5-inch Full HD screen, front-camera on a 13-megapixel Exmor RS matrix with autofocus, a rear 21.5-megapixel camera with hybrid autofocus and the ability to shoot 4K video, a 2600 mAh battery, which will give the smartphone up to two days of life away from the outlet. Built by Sony Xperia M5 on an eight-core MediaTek Helio X10 processor and has 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory.

Samsung Galaxy S7 - South Korean flagship of 2016 received the highest degree of protection IP68. At the same time, Samsung has retained the advanced glass and metal design and dispensed with rubber plugs, as if sealing the structure from the inside. Samsung Galaxy S7 can be poured with tea, bathed in a sink, dropped into a puddle and immersed for half an hour in fresh water to a depth of 1.5 meters. Nothing will happen to him!

The filling and capabilities are the most technologically advanced: a 12-megapixel camera based on a matrix with pixels enlarged to 1.4 microns, f / 1.7 aperture and a dual-pixel autofocus system, a 5.1-inch Quad HD-screen, a Samsung Exynos 8890 processor, which is hidden truly nuclear power - such that Samsung had to use a liquid cooling system in this smartphone. This whole system is powered by a seemingly modest 3000 mAh battery, but it's enough to watch an entire season of Game of Thrones on a single charge!

Summer is passing very quickly, and I would like to spend it without such troubles as a flooded smartphone ("drowned man"), which they refuse to repair in the service under warranty. Therefore, it is in the summer that it is appropriate to give preference to waterproof devices, for which it will not be scary either in the country, or on the river, or just in the rain, even if it is mushroom.
