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
Doogee Dark-10 DK10 5G Rugged Phone, Android 13, 12-32GB+512GB Black

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. It has the AMOLED screen normally used in the flagship models which, when paired with the rugged design means it is stronger than the flagship telco phones but not quite as tough as the heavier non-AMOLED rugged models.
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.
