Top Heavy-Duty Smartphones for Adventure and Outdoor Work Environments
Don’t be fooled by phrases like “heavy-duty smartphones” when you browse the Internet for rugged mobile handsets. For a handset to qualify, it must be truly water-, drop-, and dust-proof. The handset must have a long battery life, and an extra-strong screen.
However, heavy-duty smartphones should not only be durable but also exceptionally functional. Imagine a handset that is 4G enabled and comes with thermal imagery, fingerprint sensor capacity and 4G dual SIM capacity. Now imagine an entire range of heavy-duty smartphones with these or related characteristics available at competitive prices.
