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
4G VNZ48 Urban Locator Beacon/Elderly Medical Alarm IP67 waterproof with fall detection
$299.00
Worried about elderly parents living alone or in care? The VNZ48 Emergency Locator Beacon/Elderly Medical Alarm is half the price of comparable alarms on the NZ market and it provides instant peace of mind (REQUIRES SIM CARD AND MOBILE PLAN) Worn like a watch, the VNZ48 is waterproof so doesn’t need to be taken off. If your loved one suffers a fall and doesn’t respond to the alarm countdown, the VNZ48 will auto-dial three numbers of your choosing until someone responds. It will give you location details and open up an HD voice channel so you can talk directly to your loved one. Additionally, you can set the alarm to alert you if your loved one wanders off (ideal for dementia care). A manual SOS button also allows your parent to summon help if they’re still conscious and have not fallen, while a microphone button provides instant HD voice chat without them needing to ring you. A smartphone app also allows you to remotely monitor health vitals like heart rate and body temperature. The VNZ48 works in NZ cities with cellphone coverage. No need to pay monthly monitoring fees!

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

Unihertz Tank 3 Rugged Phone, 200MP Camera, Night Vision, 23000 mAh battery, Android 13, Dimensity 8200, 16GB+512GB
$1,099.00 – $1,549.00Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageDELIVERY TARGET: 1-7 working days
CHIPSET: HELIO Dimensity 8200
ANTUTU SPEED: 940,000
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).
