The latest iPhone, Samsung, Xiaomi models have protection against moisture and dust according to IP68, but these devices are poorly protected from falling damage. People with an active lifestyle require smartphones that are protected from shock and temperature extremes.
To work in extreme conditions, the phone, in addition to the IP68 certificate, must have:
- strong rubberized case;
- reliable port stubs;
- touch screen protection;
- high capacity battery.
The resistance of the device to mechanical stress, shock and pressure is determined by the standards MIL-STD-810G or IP-69K. The presence of these certificates in combination with IP68 makes the phone unkillable.
The ranking of the best protected smartphones in 2020 includes devices that have the above characteristics.
