WARNING: Beware of Cowboys selling “cheap” rugged phones
Some big rugged phones sites and TradeMe sellers are trying to flog-off phones that don’t work in rural areas, and which may not work anywhere once Vodafone and Spark switch off the 3G cellsites next year – and they’re lying to their customers about it, still promising “compatible with all NZ 3G/4G networks”.
To help you avoid being stung, we’ve compiled a database of all rugged phones and whether they are really compatible. Read more at the links
4G VNZ48 Urban Locator Beacon/Elderly Medical Alarm IP67 waterproof with fall detection
$299.00
Worried about elderly parents living alone or in care? The VNZ48 Emergency Locator Beacon/Elderly Medical Alarm is half the price of comparable alarms on the NZ market and it provides instant peace of mind (REQUIRES SIM CARD AND MOBILE PLAN) Worn like a watch, the VNZ48 is waterproof so doesn’t need to be taken off. If your loved one suffers a fall and doesn’t respond to the alarm countdown, the VNZ48 will auto-dial three numbers of your choosing until someone responds. It will give you location details and open up an HD voice channel so you can talk directly to your loved one. Additionally, you can set the alarm to alert you if your loved one wanders off (ideal for dementia care). A manual SOS button also allows your parent to summon help if they’re still conscious and have not fallen, while a microphone button provides instant HD voice chat without them needing to ring you. A smartphone app also allows you to remotely monitor health vitals like heart rate and body temperature. The VNZ48 works in NZ cities with cellphone coverage. No need to pay monthly monitoring fees!

CHIPSET: HELIO Dimensity 8200
ANTUTU SPEED: 940,000
Americans love the Unihertz Tank! It’s not for everyone – weighing half a kilo because of its massive battery it qualifies as a defensive weapon if you are walking down a dark alley – but it’s built like the proverbial for a reason.
Unihertz says you might get up to a hundred days between battery charges, although officially it’s just “more than a week”. Some heavy users say they get 30 days. The point is, if you need a big battery phone for work or play outdoors (hikes, fishing, hunting etc) this phone has a lot more stamina than an EV…no ‘range anxiety’ here.
The Unihertz Tank also has the most powerful torch ever built in to a smartphone (watch the review video in specs below).
