Vphone launches the rugged M3 with IP68 certification

Vphone M3 is the latest rugged smartphone by Vphone. It sports a reinforced body with a rubberized cover and a 5-inch IPS display with an HD resolution and a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection. The screen's sensitivity is enhanced, so it also responds to touches with a wet hand. The device is IP68 certified, meaning it is dust-tight and water-proof, but is also protected against scratches, drops, shock, extreme temperatures, etc. It is powered by a 4500 mAh battery and clearly does not rely on high performance as much as on power efficiency because it is equipped with a MediaTek MT6735 chipset that includes a 1.3GHz quad-core CPU. The RAM and storage are entry-level ones - 2GB and 16GB, respectively. The operating system is quite old, too - Android 5.1 Lollipop. Vphone M3 supports GPS and 4G LTE networks. It also features a 13MP primary camera with sapphire glass and an f/2.0 lens, while the front-facing snapper packs a 5MP sensor. An SOS button is also on board along with a special software that can test your pulse, hearing and eyesight. The device is available in black and orange color, and is priced at USD 119.
