Top 10 secure phones and smartphones

The main enemies of modern mobile phones are moisture and mechanical damage. These are the things we face all the time, and for smartphones these are frequent causes of failure. Everyone accidentally dropped a gadget on the floor, in the sink, or fell into the rain - such “adventures” did not always go without a trace. Mechanical shock often affects the case and the screen, and the ingress of moisture is fraught with failure of the camera module and other important components.

Knowing about this common problem, manufacturers of mobile devices are launching entire lines of shock-proof phones, equipped not only with a durable case, but also with water protection. Due to the special design and the materials used (rubber inserts, metal elements), these gadgets are protected from moisture inside and damage caused by falls. Despite such opportunities, these phones should not be considered "immortal" - they were created in order to prevent the device from malfunctioning due to the owner’s carelessness. In addition, this “security” of the device often affects the functionality and appearance. The main buyers of secure phones and smartphones are builders, tourists and just active people who are often in extreme conditions.

We will consider the best models of protected (non-killing) phones and smartphones with various functions. The rating involves devices with a large number of positive reviews and the best technical characteristics.

Top push-button telephones with secure housing

5 Digma LINX A230WT 2G

Open the category of the phone, the impact resistance and water resistance which is questioned by users in the reviews. Indeed, it is not worth moving the Digmu machine or freezing it into ice, but the device will withstand most of the drops and impacts. You will have to do the water protection yourself - there is no plug for a 3.5 mm jack. Does this make A230WT bad? No way, because for 3,000 rubles you will receive not just a solid "dialer", but also an incredible autonomy, and even a walkie-talkie!

The long work from a single charge is explained simply - a powerful 6000 mAh battery is installed inside. This will be enough even for a smartphone for 3-4 days, not to mention a simple phone. You can use Digma as a power bank. Also note the presence of the radio. It could not replace the specialized device, but for small hikes the company would fit. Before buying, we advise you to look at the device live, because its dimensions, even without an antenna, are impressive: 68x135.5x27 mm. But the buttons are large - you will get even in winter mittens.

4 LEXAND R2 Stone

The fourth place will be given to the most accessible phone category. The average price for this baby is a little less than two thousand. Hope for something supernatural for such money is not necessary, but there is nothing to complain about. The body is made of durable plastic with metal and rubber inserts - drops and even hard blows will not disable R2 Stone.Protection against water is organized simply - a plug on the connectors and a back cover with a gasket. To get to the removable battery at 1600 mAh, SIM-cards and a slot for microSD up to 8 GB will have to use a complete mini-screwdriver. Not very convenient, but ubiquitous and reliable solution.

Little features. Note the powerful flashlight, loud speaker and quite a convenient menu. You can only find fault with some software flaws. In particular, in the reviews, users complain about the inconvenient editing of contacts - to edit a contact on SIMK or to make a description of more than 10 characters will not work.

3 BQ 2439 Bobber

Three leaders open a fairly balanced device. First of all, we note discreet, as for a secure phone, design. Durable plastic and rubber inserts protect against impact, but do not make the Bobber too brutal, massive. Also note the 2.4 inch display - the largest in the class. Stated scratch-resistant glass. Charging connectors and 3.5 mm audio output are traditionally hidden behind the plugs.

The phone supports only 2G networks - you have to abandon social networks. But the battery for 2000 mAh in normal mode can live 1-1.5 weeks. You can use Bobber as a player - it supports FM radio and memory cards up to 32 GB, which you can download all your favorite music.

The only complaint to the device is the button for connecting paid services located in the first place in the menu. Be sure to tell your elderly parents or children about it if you purchase a phone as a gift.

2 Runbo x1

Mobile phone Runbo X1 with built-in radio is located on the second place in the rating of push-button devices with impact-resistant casing. This is the most secure device in the TOP-5 - the design uses a special shock-proof plastic and thick rubber, softening the blow when dropped from a height. The compact screen with a resolution of 176x220 adequately conveys colors, and thanks to ergonomic buttons, typing will not be a problem. The cost of the phone is much higher than competitors due to the built-in radio, but this function is implemented here so well that, if necessary, it is worth overpaying for it.

The antenna is screwed in addition to a special connector protected by a waterproof plug, so that in everyday life this device can be used as a regular phone. The device is equipped with a main camera with a resolution of 0.3 megapixels, with which it is quite difficult to get high-quality images. The phone supports only 2G communication bands, but has a powerful antenna that ensures stable signal reception. Runbo X1 uses a USB interface to interface with a computer.

1 teXet TM-513R

In the first place in the ranking of the best push-button phones with a protected case is a model from the Chinese manufacturer teXet TM-513R. Today it is one of the most popular anti-shock protection devices. For a reasonable price, the buyer gets a practically unkillable case and a capacious battery of 2570 mAh - an excellent indicator for an ordinary "dialer". The phone can be installed 2 SIM cards of the classic size. The shock-resistant case is made of industrial rubber and has several metal inserts. All connectors are protected by waterproof plugs.

A small 2 ”screen with a resolution of 220x176 is protected by scratch-resistant glass. Otherwise, this is a regular push-button phone, which has all the necessary functions for comfortable use - FM radio, MP3 support and a 2 megapixel camera. Bluetooth can be used to transfer data to other devices. Built-in flashlight will be convenient for highlighting objects in the dark. In positive reviews, customers talk about ease of use, long battery life and high durability. The disadvantages include large size and poor speaker sound.

The best smartphones with a secure case

5 BQ 4077 Shark Mini

The smartphone, which opens the category, stands out against the general background at once with several parameters. First, the screen - have you seen compact 4-inch models for a long time? Secondly, a combination of the minimum cost and the protected case. Paying 6,000 rubles really does not have to worry about the integrity of the device - Shark Mini keeps falling from a height of human growth, but of course you shouldn’t throw it against the wall. There is also IP68 water protection. The design of the smartphone is quite restrained, the dimensions are small.

Expect high-performance internals not worth it. The simplest processor and 1 GB of RAM can "remove" only basic applications and casual games. But Android OS 7.0 works surprisingly well - there are practically no brakes during everyday use. 2800 mAh battery - with moderate use, given the small display, enough for a couple of days. Cameras ... are present. Hope for their quality can not be even in bright light.

4 Ulefone Armor 2

What are Chinese phones famous for? One of the main advantages is the excellent price / performance ratio. Ulefone Armor 2 costs a little more than 16 thousand rubles, while offering a mid-level chip - Helio P25 - and nearly 6 GB of RAM. Its power is enough for confident work even in demanding games, but it is worth considering mediocre optimization, due to which the battery at 4700 mAh with high load is enough for one light day. Fortunately, fast charging is supported.

The screen is 5 inches (FullHD), but the dimensions of the device are comparable to 5.5-inch "civilian" models. This is due to the massive bumper, thanks to which the smartphone easily endures hard landings and tenaciously holds in its hands. True, the integrity after the impact of the screen does not count - the protective glass is quite fragile. But the standard IP68 Armor 2 fully complies. Even after a long stay under water there are no problems with working capacity.

3 DOOGEE S30

The third line of the rating is occupied by one of the most affordable waterproof smartphones. Immediately it is worth noting that the S30 is officially protected only from water ingress according to the standard IP68. Anti-shock is not declared, but the device will survive the fall (without fanaticism). Of the interesting and useful features worth noting the presence of a large battery with a capacity of 5580 mAh. Even for the most active users, the battery life is at least two days. If necessary, you can stretch a week.

According to the characteristics of Doogee, an obvious "state employee". Screen 5 ’, resolution 1280x720 pixels. The entry-level processor and 2 GB of RAM provide a smart interface and the necessary applications, but do not count on games. In addition, the internal memory of 16 GB. Pleased with the presence of fresh Android 7.0. The system will be relevant for another couple of years, which is good, given the reluctance of the Chinese to update the software of their old devices. Also note the dual module of the main camera. Works, expectedly, badly. The second module is almost useless, the pictures are clear only with good light.

2 Blackview BV6000

The Chinese Blackview BV6000 smartphone ranks second in the ranking of the best functional protected communicators. This is the best option in terms of price, quality and number of options. In addition to the shockproof case, the smartphone is equipped with water protection, thanks to which it withstands non-durable diving to a shallow depth without problems. A high-quality screen with a diagonal of 4.7 "transmits colors well and has good brightness.

The 13 megapixel camera module will please fans of shooting on a smartphone, and the presence of FM radio will not let you get bored on the long road. The device has all the necessary functions, such as a voice recorder and a timer. Combined with a flashlight flashlight will be convenient when you need something to highlight. Blackview BV6000 supports the alternate operation of 2 microSIM cards, including 4G LTE networks. In general, it is a sturdy smartphone with good features and an attractive design.

1 LG G7 Fit

The leader stands out from the competition. Thick plastic, rubber and metal lining, deliberately distinguished bolts - all this does not need LG to meet military standards of impact resistance. Yes, yes, this flagship of aluminum and glass withstands most of the falls without any problems, and the water protection class allows you to swim with it at sea (do not forget to just rinse under fresh water after). In this case, we have a full-fledged flagship with a screen of 6.1 inches and an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9. The picture quality is excellent.

Inside, everything is just fine. The processor is 2017, but its performance is still enough for most resource-intensive games, not to mention the basic tasks. RAM 4 GB, constant - 32 GB. Supports 4G LTE-A, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, NFC and Bluetooth 5.0. A double camera - with a conventional and wide-angle module - shoots perfectly. But the best part is the cost of 20 000 rubles. For this price, claims to the G7 Fit simply can not be.
