Dust and moisture resistant shockproof smartphones. The best waterproof smartphones

Read if everyone a waterproof phone is it shockproof? What does IP68 protection class mean? And what smartphone is not afraid of water? TOP 10 phones.

It should be noted that the presence of a waterproof case does not guarantee you eternal storage of the device at great depths. Most often, the device is able to remain intact only for the first half hour. And even then we are talking about a small depth in this case - as a rule, a few meters.

If the device fell into the open sea when you were on a yacht, then you can say goodbye to it. Even if there is scuba gear on board. The exact conditions of water protection should be read on the official website of the smartphone manufacturer - in the technical specifications you will find the so-called water resistance standard.

Most often, waterproof smartphones are also shockproof. But this rule is not always followed. The fact is that now a special glue inside the phone can provide water resistance.

At the same time, the body remains thin, and therefore, after falling on paving slabs or asphalt, chips and even more serious damage may appear. That is why our selection contains not only, but also the flagships of well-known companies.

Phone water resistance standards

Almost every smartphone with a waterproof case receives a so-called dust and moisture protection certificate. Only those manufacturers who want to save money do not send their devices for special tests. If the certificate is received, then it is prescribed in the technical specifications in the form of IPxx. The first number indicates the degree of dust protection. The second number concerns water. Often, manufacturers write IP68 on their phone and say that this is very cool. :

• 0 - splashes freely penetrate under the body of the device;
• 1 - the gadget is protected only from vertically falling drops of water;
• 2 - the device is protected from vertically falling drops of water, but at the same time it can be tilted by 15 degrees;
• 3 - the device is not afraid of water splashes sprayed at an angle of up to 60 degrees;
• 4 - the gadget is not at all afraid of water splashes, no matter at what angle they fall on the case;
• 5 - the device is not afraid of water jets falling on it at any angle;
• 6 - the device is protected from strong water jets;
• 7 - the device withstands short-term immersion under water;
• 8 - the device can be under water for a long time, usually half an hour is meant).

Thus, the indication of IP68 indicates that the smartphone has a dust-proof housing and can withstand prolonged immersion in water.

It is the certificate of dust and moisture resistance that you should focus on if you use your smartphone in particularly difficult conditions. You should not forget about the technical characteristics, so as not to buy a very weak device. Please note that some phones also receive a Military certification - you can trust it even more.

Let's see which waterproof phone is better.

Kyocera Brigadier

Great smartphone for hikers and skiers. The fact is that this smartphone is not only not afraid of water, but is also protected from all sorts of blows against stones and other hard objects. The manufacturer assures that the smartphone is able to stay under water for up to half an hour - only after such a period the performance will be lost.

As you know, moisture adversely affects the touch keys. In this regard, they are replaced here with physical buttons. The display, of course, remained touch-sensitive. Otherwise, it would be impossible to manage the operating system. By the way, so old version"green robot" is a significant drawback.

The manufacturer claims that the 4.5-inch display of the device, which has, is reliably protected. But buyers in the reviews indicate that sapphire glass is used as protection, and this is not the best option. As for the characteristics of a waterproof phone, they cannot be called ideal.

However, 2 GB random access memory, a quad-core processor from Qualcomm, a camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels - many users do not need more. The undoubted advantages of the smartphone are the relatively small size and the presence of a barometer.

Advantages:

• Decent amount of memory;
• The screen has a high pixel density;
• Compact dimensions for a device of this class;
• There is a barometer;
• Certified including Military 810G;
• A good processor is built in.

Disadvantages:

• Not the longest battery life;
• Very high cost;
• Weak plugs;
• unpretentious front-camera.

Waterproof phone Conquest S6 OCTA, but also shockproof

Protected by full program smartphone. Its body consists of many rubber inserts. Inside is waterproof glue. As a result, the device complies with the IP68 standard. This means that the device will be able to stay under water for at least half an hour. And one of the colors - yellow will make it easy to detect a smartphone even in troubled waters.

Display this device protected by Gorilla Glass 3. This allows us to hope that the stones will leave only scratches on the front surface. However, it all depends on the height of the fall. Another undoubted advantage of the device is the battery. Its capacity reaches 6000 mAh.

With an energy-efficient eight-core processor, this allows you to count on several days of battery life. However, do not forget that the impact-resistant case and such a capacious battery affect the weight.

In general, the device causes only positive emotions. The HD resolution of the display is ideal for a 5-inch diagonal. Not the worst is the built-in camera - it has a resolution of 13 megapixels. A nice bonus is the ability to recharge from the docking station.

Advantages:

• Has protection even according to the Military MIL-810G standard;
• Powerful processor is used;
• Implemented charging from the docking station;
• Good rear camera
• There are two slots for SIM-cards;
• Very long battery life.

Disadvantages:

1. The Android version could be fresher;
2. Weighs 312 g;
3. Not the best work of the navigation module.

Caterpillar Cat B30

The simplest waterproof mobile phone. There is no operating system here. That is, the manufacturer decided to rely not on functionality, but on compact dimensions and ease of dialing. He also endowed the gadget with two slots for a SIM card. He did not forget about the rear camera, but its resolution is only 2 megapixels. However, for a push-button device, this parameter is very impressive.

Usually push-button phones have a built-in memory amounting to tens of megabytes. But the Caterpillar Cat B30 is the exception to the rule. This "tube" offers 1 GB of memory for data storage! And if that's not enough, you can use a microSD card. The case of the device is protected from impacts on a hard surface.

There is also some water resistance. But it cannot be called complete - the device received an IP67 certificate. That is, after diving under water, the phone needs to be brought to the surface as quickly as possible. There is also a restriction on the depth of immersion - it should not exceed 1 m.

The mobile phone has a WAP-browser working with the help of 3G-networks. Also, support for two SIM-cards should please, which allows you to combine the tariffs of different operators. But the rest of the characteristics of the phone causes a feeling of disappointment. For example, battery life leaves much to be desired - it is 4 hours of talk time. A simple display is also built in here - you definitely won’t read e-books on it.

Advantages:

• Small size and light weight;
• Nice appearance;
• Can insert two SIM cards;
• Large amount of RAM and permanent memory;
• You can access the Internet via 3G.

disadvantages:

• Built-in bad camera;
• Short battery life;
• The screen has a very modest diagonal;
• Inflated price tag.

Ginzzu R62

This is a waterproof phone, which may seem overpriced. And the size of the mobile phone can not be called tiny, which also does not suit some potential buyers. But on the other hand, the device has a huge number of rubber pads that will definitely save the phone when it falls somewhere on the asphalt.

Also, the increase in size benefited the battery - its capacity was an impressive 1700 mAh. As a result, you will have to use the network adapter no more than once every three days. Unless you use a walkie-talkie, which is very energy-intensive.

Yes, Ginzzu R62 differs from its competitors precisely in the presence of a walkie-talkie. It operates in the range of 400-470 MHz. In a word, a pair of such phones will be very useful for hunters, fishermen and, for example, builders. However, it is not necessary to buy this particular model - Ginzzu and some other companies have other mobile phones with a walkie-talkie operating in this range.

Advantages:

• Capacious battery;
• There are two slots for SIM-cards;
• A good camera with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels;
• Built-in walkie-talkie;
• Excellent protection according to the IP68 standard;
• Sturdy screw assembly.

disadvantages:

1. The device almost disappeared from store shelves;
2. Almost no memory
3. No 3G support.

Vkworld New Stone V3

One of the most inexpensive phones with a brutal protected case. The device complies with the IP68 standard. This becomes clear not only after reading the technical specifications, but also when looking at the appearance of the device. Rubber keyboard, lots of soft pads, orange coloring…

This apparatus clearly can withstand a fall from a great height and submersion under water. And under its back cover is a 3000 mAh battery. This allows the owner of the mobile phone to go on a multi-day hike, and during it, and not use a portable battery.

Another feature of Vkworld New Stone V3 is the availability three slots for SIM cards. The buyer will also have to use the memory card slot, because the built-in storage capacity of this phone is only 64 MB. The device can be used for photography, albeit not of the highest quality - the resolution of the rear camera reaches 2 megapixels. "Frontal" here, as you might guess, is not at all.

In general, the device leaves a positive impression. You can only find fault with the fact that it is impossible to purchase it in Russian retail chains. Unfortunately, the Chinese company Vkworld distributes its creations only through GearBest, AliExpress and other similar online stores.

Advantages:

• Attractive price tag;
• You can insert up to three SIM cards;
• Loud speaker is used;
• Good shock and water protection;
• Long battery life;
• The phone can charge another gadget;
• Relatively good camera;
• Nice 2.4" display.

disadvantages:

• Will have to wait for delivery from China.

Not all waterproof smartphones need to be shockproof. For example, there are no rubber pads samsung galaxy S8. This made it possible to leave the dimensions of the device quite sane. And it cannot be said that the very first fall on paving slabs will break the smartphone.

Glass from Corning from the Gorilla Glass series, which covers the front and back panels, protects the smartphone according to all the rules. If the landing is successful, then you will find only small chips on the side end.

As for water protection, the device meets the IP68 standard. That is, the device can be dropped somewhere in the pool - nothing will come of it. I am glad that the South Koreans have provided a full-fledged flagship with such protection. As a result, the buyer receives a device with maximum performance.

It even has the ability to unlock by scanning the iris, which almost none of the competitors offers. And do not forget that South Korean products are certainly equipped with an AMOLED screen, which contributes to a long battery life.

Another undoubted advantage of the smartphone is a large number of high-speed wireless modules. An excellent camera is built in here. In a word, it is not surprising that the circulation of the Galaxy S8 is estimated at tens of millions of copies sold.

Advantages:

• There is support for LTE-A category sixteen;
• A camera with f/1.7 aperture and optical stabilization is used;
• Powerful processor;
• Large amount of memory;
• There is a gyroscope, a barometer and a fingerprint sensor;
• There is a high-resolution AMOLED display;
• Supports two SIM cards;
• The latest version of the operating system.

Disadvantages:

1. High price;
2. Slippery glass body.

Apple iPhone 8

Apple's smartphone, released in the fall of 2017, also has water protection. It is implemented, however, according to the IP67 standard. In this regard, do not leave the phone under water for any long time. Other than that, it's a typical iPhone. It does not differ too much from its predecessor - perhaps that is why the device is not in great demand. It will soon come to the point that the smartphone will be sold at a discount. And it will be a great chance to get acquainted with Apple products for the first time!

The smartphone has a glass coating on both sides. As a result, it is difficult to leave scratches on the case - for this you will have to use a combat knife. Glass can break, it all depends on the height of the fall of the device and the type of surface on which the landing occurs. As for the characteristics of the smartphone, they are not satisfactory.

The structure of the device included a powerful processor, thanks to which the iPhone 8 takes the second place in the ranking of smartphones according to AnTuTu Benchmark. Above - only the Plus version, equipped with a larger display. The device includes a 12-megapixel camera, supplemented by optical stabilization.

Its aperture can open up to f / 1.8, which is a very good result. The main advantage of the camera is that it can shoot 4K video at 60 fps. The picture is displayed on a 4.7-inch screen with a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels.

The device has a huge number of supported LTE frequencies. This allows it to transfer data at high speed in any country where 4G networks are supported. And the device was equipped with a large amount of memory. At least operational. As for permanent memory, as you know, there is not much of it. And here there is also no microSD card slot, which only complicates the situation.

Advantages:

• Very good rear camera;
• Powerful processor;
• Decent amount of RAM;
• Good front camera;
• A large number of wireless modules;
• Long battery life;
• Compact size and light weight.

For this amount, you will get a waterproof device with a 16-megapixel camera, the aperture of which can be opened up to f / 1.9.

On the front panel of the device is a 5.2-inch AMOLED display with Full HD resolution. A capacious battery paired with an energy-efficient screen and the same processor provide two to three days of battery life. Only constantly active Bluetooth and regularly launched games can reduce this time. Importantly, the device supports fast charging, endowed with the appropriate technology, the AC adapter is included.

The structure of the device includes 32 GB of permanent memory. Another smartphone is able to please with a fingerprint sensor, a gyroscope and a barometer - it is surprising that the South Koreans did not save on these sensors.

To process such a picture, a powerful processor is required. And the smartphone has it - the top-end solution from Qualcomm is used.

Another feature of the Japanese device is the camera. It is a 19-megapixel module. For a few seconds, the camera is capable of shooting at 960 fps.

Even the most sophisticated smartphones of well-known brands cannot withstand the “blows of fate”. Falls from a height, water, sand, dirt - all this sooner or later disables any equipment. The Internet project "Be mobile" has chosen the 10 most resistant to shock and water smartphones.

We continue to publish collections of the most interesting mobile devices. We recommend reading:

How many screens were broken when smartphones fell from a height? How many devices "died" after immersion in water? Tens, hundreds of thousands, millions? There are no exact statistics on this, but data from service centers shows that the two most common problems (excluding factory defects) that consumers come with are a broken screen and water that got inside a mobile device.

For this reason, various manufacturers of equipment are increasingly thinking about the release of models in a protected version. Such devices receive a reinforced body with a metal frame, rubber pads, a sealed design and a waterproof coating.

All protected models are marked with the degree of protection of the shell of electrical equipment from the penetration of solid objects and water - Ingress Protection Rating (abbreviated as IP). You can read about what the numbers of this classification mean.

Correspondents of our Internet project examined 50 rugged phones with a powerful battery and chose 10 options that they are ready to recommend as a purchase. First of all, models with protection class IP67 and IP68 were taken into account. They are able, without compromising performance, to survive falls on asphalt from a height of two meters, as well as immersion in water to a depth of 1 meter for a period of 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Caterpillar S41

Price: 23 790 rubles

Protection class:

Operating system: Android 5.1

The most expensive representative of the class of secure smartphones, which can be officially bought in Russian stores, is the CATerpillar S41 based on Android 5.1. It complies with MIL-STD-810G and IP68 standards. This means that the smartphone is protected from moisture, dust, shock and drops. In particular, the device is guaranteed to remain operational when immersed under water to a depth of one meter for one hour, as well as when falling from a height of 1.8 meters. The operating temperature range is from minus 25 to plus 55 degrees Celsius.

Protection against damage is provided by Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The smartphone recognizes the touch of wet fingers and gloved hands. The screen here with a diagonal of 4.7 inches corresponds to the qHD format. The image is readable even in bright sunlight.

Of the undoubted advantages, we note the work in 4G networks and a high-capacity battery, which will allow the device to work for three days at average loads.

The disadvantages include the camera, which takes very mediocre quality pictures and the screen is not the best in terms of picture (small resolution with a large diagonal). Otherwise, apart from the price, everything is in order.

Ginzzu RS97 Dual

Now it is a bit lost among a variety of new products, but so far it occupies a worthy place in the sales market.

Conclusion

You must understand that the task of choosing the best shockproof smartphone is very difficult and probably impossible. For a very simple reason - the creator of such a universal device will very quickly become a monopolist among all manufacturers, and most consumers will prefer to purchase only his products. This is practically impossible in market conditions.

Therefore, one device is maximally shockproof and well waterproof, the other, on the contrary, is maximally waterproof and shockproof enough, and so on. So decide what you need more and decide which one to buy.
