This new smartphone is a rugged drop-proof, water-proof and dust-proof smartphone. It can withstand a high degree of day to day punishment especially from site engineers.
Although, this is not the first time we are seeing a rugged smartphone as this for example HTC one, Phillips), yet we can not but say this is at its height.

This smartphone can remain for 30 minutes, one meter below water and still function superbly considering the water pressure on it. It can also withstand a 6ft drop and nothing will happen to it.
Interestingly, this device is relatively thin, slim and light weight with rubberized aluminum finish, meaning there is no need for a pouch. Runs Android 4.1 operating system, 5 mega pixel rear camera with HD recording, and comes with all the usual stuffs you will get in a smartphone for just $350 (N55,407) without being tied to a contract.
