Best Rugged Device:
Energizer H500s
Why:
+ Ruggedised rubber frame
+ IP68-rated (dust, water, shock) + Lightweight
When it comes to a ruggedised smartphone, the Energizer Hardcase H500S offers quite a lot for a mid-range unit.
It's not going to blow the industry out of the water but offers a solid alternative to the other devices floating around the market today.
Unlike many other rugged smartphones, one of the first things you’ll notice about the Energizer Hardcase H500S is that it is lightweight. At 142.5g, the device is lighter than the Samsung Galaxy and iPhone ranges, which is great.
While it may not be the out and out best-ruggedised smartphone, it still has quite a lot to offer in that respect. It carries an IP68 rating, which means that the unit is dust and water-resistant, with up to 1.5m for 30 minutes submerged. In addition to this, the H500S is also shock resistant.
