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

Meet the no frills version of the world’s most advanced rugged thermal cameraphone – WITHOUT the thermal or night vision. The AGM Glory SE is equivalent to the Ulefone Armor 10 or Oukitel WP10 – a good basic 5G workhorse. 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 SE is the pinnacle of rugged phone engineering, offering 5G with VoLTE but also a powerful Sony 48MP camera, 110 decibel loudspeaker and extremely high powered torch, 8GB of RAM and 128GB onboard storage, and a 6.53 inch screen. The AGM Glory G1 SE 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.
Seen it cheaper? It may be sourced from dodgy suppliers or from NZ retailers falsifying authenticity certificates

Unihertz Tank Rugged Phone, 108MP Camera, Night Vision, 22000 mAh battery, Android 12, Helio G99, 8GB+256GB

ANTUTU SPEED: 313,000
Americans love the Unihertz Tank! It’s not for everyone – weighing half a kilo because of its massive battery it qualifies as a defensive weapon if you are walking down a dark alley – but it’s built like the proverbial for a reason.
Unihertz says you might get up to a hundred days between battery charges, although officially it’s just “more than a week”. Some heavy users say they get 30 days. The point is, if you need a big battery phone for work or play outdoors (hikes, fishing, hunting etc) this phone has a lot more stamina than an EV…no ‘range anxiety’ here.
The Unihertz Tank also has the most powerful torch ever built in to a smartphone (watch the review video in specs below).

1. Fully rugged IP68 smartphone built to withstand the toughest of environments.

Doogee’s Dark-10 (DK10) is the most powerful rugged phone on the market, and slim and lightweight to boot. It’s a great option for those who want a fast smartphone but don’t want to pay up to $2499 at a telco store.

With 512GB of storage compared to the 256GB on offer in most Galaxy or new iPhones, the Dark-10 puts you ahead of the pack.
