If you happen to be in the market for a super rugged waterproof, dust proof, shock resistant phone, the new Galaxy Rugby LTE could be the phone for you. We heard about this phone a while ago and it is now officially available at Telus today with Bell launching the phone on November 1. Here’s the specs on the phone:
- 3.97? Super AMOLED Display (400×800 Resolution)
- 1.5GHz Dual-Core Processor
- 5MP Camera
- 1.3MP Front Facing Camera
- 1850 mAh Battery
- LTE, DLNA, NFC (with S-Beam)
- Launching with ICS
It’s not your top of the line phone, but honestly for a niche phone like this, it’s pretty good. It’s leaps and bounds over the original which had a brutal display and even worse internals. After installing a couple of apps on the original, slow down would become very noticeable. With this phone people who need a ridiculously rugged phone can really have their cake and eat it too. In other words you won’t have to sacrifice performance for the sake of having a strong device.
