Land Rover has launched a smartphone that is inspired by its range of rugged 4x4 vehicles.

Named the Explore,the phone is being billed as "the toughest phone in the world" and features IP68 water(even in saltwater) and dust resistance, the same as the  Samsung Galaxy S8 .It is also drop proof to a height of 1.8 meters i.e 6feet, and comes with a factory fitted screen protector.

It can also survive extreme temperature changes, including "freezing cold to blistering heat, thermal shock, intense humidity and vibration exposure."

A mammoth 4,000mAh battery is found inside to keep you going in remote locations, which Land Rover claims will give you two days of usage with the screen constantly on.

There's also the option of a 'Adventure Pack' that sticks magnetically to the back of the handset to extend battery life with an additional 3,600mAh (for a grand total of 7,600mAh), as well as improving the Explore's GPS and mapping capabilities.


The 3,600mAh additional battery attaches to the rear of the phone

A compass and SOS light have also been built into the Land Rover Explore, and the touchscreen display can be used when wet or when wearing gloves - two scenarios traditional smartphones struggle with. 

Other specs include a MediaTek Helio X27 chipset, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, 5-inch full HD display, Android 7 Nougat, 16MP rear camera and 8MP front snapper.

The handset was built with the help of the Bullitt Group, and the Land Rover Explore is set release at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 26 with a price tag of £599 (around $800)

Do you plan taking your phone underwater so that Google Maps can show you where the Great Barrier Reef is? The new Land Rover Explore smartphone is the phone you need. What do you think about the phone ?

This is epic, I won't lie. TECNO can learn from this too. Good one from Land rover

Lovely

Impressed with the battery capacity...

The phone would make anyone a great explorer

Other phone makes running away when asked to do DROP TEST and Jungle test

The upcoming CAT S61 is tougher than this phone with more impressive specifications.

True, to be honest though when I saw the topic I thought he was talking bout a tecno device

Okay

Sorry, it's not for slay queens. It's a practical phone for the tough and technically-savvy.

Edopesin:

Are You Mad!

Are You So Daft You Can't Differentiate Between 'Exclamation Mark' And 'Question Mark'?

After Going Through Your Profile, You're Frustrated.

Your Rudeness Needs Some Culturing.

Be Good.

This phone should be bought by all governments all over the world and distributed to their soldiers. So good for infantry in the war zone.
