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

Ulefone’s Armor 18 series uses the Mediatek Dimensity 7050 chipset which makes it about as powerful as a Samsung Galaxy S20. A key feature of this phone is its ability to use storage space for a virtual 12GB RAM boost when necessary, so it can deliver up to 24GB of RAM for multitasking. With a big 9600 mAh battery this is another weighty phone but will do what you need at the site or in the office.
Most Ulefones are glued shut/not repairable/expensive-disposable-toys; THIS model is repairable.

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).
