Different Features Among These Rugged Android Smartphones

By Nick Sachs


More than we ever need our PC's or notebooks, Smartphones are becoming very important in our daily lives today. They will be the one to keep us connected to the people close to us wherever we go since they are with us. Generally, we are able to keep our phones good and well functioning for at most two years. But this will not happen if it can be damaged beyond repair because of little random accidents like spilling the cup of coffee all over them, dropping them by mistake, dropping them in sand at the beach. You cannot avoid this from happening. All the data inside the phone, including our contacts, messages, and media can be loss in an instant. Thus, to avoid this from happening, it is best to have these phones built like tanks so that it will be protected against the environment and small accidents.

The Android Smartphone was released last year and was built in this way wherein the Motorola DEFY had a tough construction with a price which was around $300. The features were also great including a 2 GB internal storage, 3.7? display with an 854480 resolution, 800 MHz OMAP 3610 chip (Cortex A8) with PowerVR SGX530 GPU, and 512 MB RAM.

There are three contenders in the rugged Smartphone space this year, namely, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Active, the Samsung Galaxy Xcover, and the sequel to DEFY, the Motorola DEFY+. Below are further descriptions of each of these phones.

Actually, there is not any big difference between Motorola DEFY+ and the original DEFY. The only difference would be its additional features which includes a 25% faster CPU, clocked at 1 GHz, and it comes with Android 2.3. Samsung, even though has been making rugged phones for a while, they haven't made a rugged Android Smartphone, and so this one is their first. It has been seen that Sony Ericsson is seeing the potential of these rugged Smartphones as well so they want to enter this market.

My most love rugged android, especially when not looking at the price, is the Motorola DEFY+ as it is the best among the three contenders. Basically some features which I like best are its good Cortex A8 CPU, with a large enough resolution (854480) allowing you to play most 3D games out there, and for its 3.7?, it's very compact. It can come smaller in terms of size as compared to the 3.2? phones out there. When you think that battery life in phones are some important, then this one is for you because it has huge battery 1700 mAh, and Motorola already has some of the best talk-time in phones.
