You may be delighted by the high-end specifications of your latest Smartphone purchase and revel in its all-round performance. But consider this: Will the device sturdily weather the elements and stand the test of time? Samsung has sought to allay this fear by introducing their Rugby range of Smartphones from Samsung touted to be impervious to environmental damage – besides boasting all the modern-day features. And the newest in this range is the Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro I547, of which a review is presented below.
Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro I547 Appearance and Design Review:
Obviously the solidity aspect deserves first mention and the Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro I547 impresses in this regard. The Smartphone conforms to the strict MIL-STD-810G United States military norms in the spheres of grime, heat shock, radiation, and moisture resistance. Regarding the latter ability, more specifically, the phone can withstand a water depth of 1 meter up to half an hour, provided all operating ports are shut.
The Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro I547 black chassis, which measures a compact 5 by 2.7 by 0.5-inches, is characterized by grooved flanks, contoured edges, a raised back portion, and a tough overall rubberized texture. These factors lend further credence to the durability aspect while making the device nice to grip and operate. However the substantial mass of 159 grams may rankle some users; on the other hand, some may feel that this adds further hardiness to the phone. Notably the device possesses a screwed back cover (housing the entrenched battery) designed so to avoid external impairment.
Functionalities and ports concerning power, volume, micro SD, microUSB, headphones, shortcuts, and cameras (front-facing and rear) reside on the Rugby Pro’s body; their decent placement and size make them comfortable to locate and control.
