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

Unihertz Tank Rugged Phone, 108MP Camera, Night Vision, 22000 mAh battery, Android 12, Helio G99, 8GB+256GB
$799.00 – $1,199.00Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageDELIVERY TARGET: 1-7 working days
CHIPSET: HELIO G99
ANTUTU SPEED: 313,000
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).
Features
1. Fully rugged IP68 smartphone built to withstand the toughest of environments.
2. Adopt MTK6789 octa core 2xARM cortex-A76 2.2GHz + 6xARM cortex-A55 2.0GHz CPU, 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM large memory, operate the phone smoothly.
3. 108MP Samsung AF S5KHM2SP03-FGX9 + 20MP night version IMX350-AAMH5-C + 2MP macro OV2680 back cameras + 32MP Samsung FF S5KGD1SP front camera, capture the wonderful moment, make the photo sharp and vivid.
4. 6.81 inch panda glass FHD+ 2400 x 1080 pixel TFT LCD screen, you can enjoy media in stunning detail and vivid color.
5. Powered by 22000mAhlarge capacity battery, the battery will make the phone last for several days in normal use.
6. IP68 standard waterproof and dustproof, can be submerged in water and is immune to dust ingress while its protective rubberized outer provides tough shell for protection against drops and also makes it easy to hold. -
Smartwatch MX-OPS5 – bluetooth calling, heart rate, blood oxygen, blood pressure, message alerts, IP68 water resistant
$149.00Add to cartThe ideal smartwatch in a covid world – even the big brands have not introduced this level of health tech yet. We tested 12 Chinese smartwatch models – only two showed the level of accuracy on the biomed functions that we demanded. The MX-OPS5 is used by Outdoor Phone Store staff. It automatically tracks heartbeat. Wristwatch blood pressure tech is still in its infancy so it’s not medical grade, but it will show you trends up or down once the watch gets to understand your normal. Blood oxygen (SpO2) saturation – one of the key covid early warning tools – is also built in. All the collected data from the various medical functions is synced to an app on your phone and daily reports can even be emailed to your doctor. In addition to the cutting edge health tech, this smartwatch offers the usual functions of call and app alerts, with the added bonus of being able to receive phone calls and talk via the watch itself. If you don’t need bluetooth calling, and you need to monitor body temperature, choose the Q-OPS21 model instead. 12 month RTB warranty
