How many times has your smart phone fallen into the water? Perhaps more than you would like, although less than you would expect. In any case, smartphones already represent a considerable investment for us to have to make new expenses in repairs, not to mention the disgust we go through while crossing our fingers because it has come out unscathed from the dip.
One of the points that most caught our attention during the recently closed Mobile World Congress 2013 was the presence of several teams that, among their features, boasted an important off-road character. We will highlight three of them for being different teams that, for various reasons, come to be more or less exemplary in this regard. Let 's start with the Sony Xperia Z. This terminal is already on sale in our country, and was presented at the beginning of the year. However, he did not miss the appointment as the first level team of the Japanese manufacturer. The Xperia Z is IP55 and IP57 certified. Thanks to this, not only would it survive dips and even small dives, but it is also not afraid of the action of dust and sand. As if that were not enough, its glass casing is treated to withstand bumps and falls. The white model also holds up very well fingerprints during use, something that is not so achieved in the purple and black models.
This solution is very elegant, although it is not as tough as the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 is. What the South Korean manufacturer has designed is a bunker with which we could make calls, send messages and connect to the Internet. It is, so to speak, a smartphone to use, which lacks nothing. Although its appearance does not correspond to that of the distinguished and aesthetic Galaxy range, but rather appears to be a solid mazacote capable of withstanding strong blows, as well as the action of water or dust. It is the terminal with the best balance in quality of performance and resistance to inclement weather of almost any kind. It is specially designed for the most athletic users, who can enjoy one of the most recent versions of theGoogle operating system, Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
Another of the terminals that has surprised concentrating resistance and aesthetics comes from one of the manufacturers that has been accumulating the greatest growth and popularity. We refer to the Chinese Huawei, whose Ascend D2 powerfully caught our attention. It is another team that we had already met prior to MWC 2013, although it must be recognized that it wins a lot in the short distance. Especially if the distance is underwater. A demo made it clear that the Huawei Ascend D2it supports use under water, even if we receive a call "" something that, on the other hand, is not very useful in practical terms, unless our interlocutor can interpret the gargle we emitted trying to speak in full immersion "". This device is IPX 5/4 certified.
These are not, however, the only equipment designed to endure as long as possible, despite the possible clumsiness of the user who handles it. We already knew at the time the Nokia Lumia 920, which is possibly the most reliable against bumps and falls. However, the best is yet to come. Samsung will present its new Samsung Galaxy S4 on March 14, and according to what was raised behind the scenes of the recently concluded annual telephony event, it would have one of its new and attractive strengths in toughness and resistance "" never better saying"".
