WARNING: Beware of Cowboys selling “cheap” rugged phones
Some big rugged phones sites and TradeMe sellers are trying to flog-off phones that don’t work in rural areas, and which may not work anywhere once Vodafone and Spark switch off the 3G cellsites next year – and they’re lying to their customers about it, still promising “compatible with all NZ 3G/4G networks”.
To help you avoid being stung, we’ve compiled a database of all rugged phones and whether they are really compatible. Read more at the links
AGM Glory G1 Pro – 8GB/256GB, Android 11, VoLTE, Hi-Res Thermal Cam, Night Vision
$1,099.00 – $1,499.00
90% EXPECTED DELIVERY WINDOW: 1-7 working days
CHIPSET: Qualcomm Snapdragon 480
ANTUTU SPEED: 338,000
Meet the world’s most advanced rugged thermal cameraphone – more advanced than Spark’s Cat S62 (Antutu speed: 97,000) or Samsung Galaxy XCover 5 (Antutu speed: 117,000). If you’re in professional trades and need the sharpest thermal camera images in combination with one of the most powerful rugged outdoor phones, the AGM Glory G1 Pro is the communication device that will set you ahead of the pack. AGM doesn’t have a big range of phones – they prefer to devote their energies to producing high-end reliable devices once every three years rather than a dozen mass produced new models every six months. The Glory G1 Pro is the pinnacle of rugged phone engineering, offering not only the highest resolution thermal phone camera on the market but also a powerful night vision camera, 110 decibel loudspeaker and extremely high powered torch, with 5G and wireless charging option. It leaves Spark’s CAT S62 behind, with 50% more battery power, 8GB of RAM and 256GB onboard storage, and a 6.53 inch screen. The AGM Glory G1 Pro is an exceptional smartphone, and only the Outdoor Phone Store can service this model.

How tough are rugged phones? Tougher than an iPhone or Galaxy but not as tough as an aircraft black box. It’s forgiving but not immortal.

Smartwatch MX-OPS5 – bluetooth calling, heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure, message alerts, IP68 water resistant
$149.00Add to cartThe ideal smartwatch in a covid world – even the big brands have not introduced this level of health tech yet. We tested 12 Chinese smartwatch models – only two showed the level of accuracy on the biomed functions that we demanded. The MX-OPS5 is used by Outdoor Phone Store staff. It automatically tracks heartbeat. Wristwatch blood pressure tech is still in its infancy so it’s not medical grade, but it will show you trends up or down once the watch gets to understand your normal. Blood oxygen (SpO2) saturation – one of the key covid early warning tools – is also built in. All the collected data from the various medical functions is synced to an app on your phone and daily reports can even be emailed to your doctor. In addition to the cutting edge health tech, this smartwatch offers the usual functions of call and app alerts, with the added bonus of being able to receive phone calls and talk via the watch itself. If you don’t need bluetooth calling, and you need to monitor body temperature, choose the Q-OPS21 model instead. 12 month RTB warranty
