A secure phone for all occasions - a small selection of the most interesting examples

At any time of the year, users of ordinary smartphones often render their devices unusable. Someone will spill some water on the smartphone, someone else will break the phone bought on credit last week on a concrete floor. In fact, there are many more ways to destroy equipment than we can imagine.

Naturally, no one likes to smash or drown their favorite communication devices. The manufacturers, knowing this, have created a number of protected devices that are not afraid of water, dust and shock. With them you can go fishing, climb mountains or peacefully drink coffee in a bar - to destroy such a miracle of technology is not so simple. In the sequel - a list of new secure phones. This is the first part of the selection, in fact there are a lot of such devices. I decided to make a selection from expensive to cheap.

Sonim XP7 (xp7700)

This is one of the most secure phones in its niche. The manufacturer himself believes that the device should be used as a second smartphone for people who engage in active sports such as mountain climbing, or work in extreme conditions. I must say that the phone is really not afraid of falling onto concrete or asphalt. But for such strength you have to pay the size - he simply does not fit into his pocket.

It can really be worn only as an alternative to a regular telephone - for example, in a jacket or a building robe. The case, by the way, is not separable, but thanks to this, the phone can live in water if it was dropped there.

The phone has a front and rear camera, LED flash, which can also serve as a flashlight. The screen, of course, is not very - its resolution is only 480 * 800. But for secure smartphones, this is almost the norm, which can be understood and accepted.

Memory 16 GB, RAM - 1 GB, pretty well. By the way, there is even an emergency call button - if something happened, you can call for help.
