Smartphones became so popular that there would be one with almost everyone. Many users would prefer a handset that can withstand rough use. This called for ‘world proof’ handsets from mobile handset manufacturers. There are handsets coming out with water resistant, dust-resistant and shock resistant designs.

Samsung recently revealed the specifications of a new handset, which is pretty tough in every aspect, even in the name. With a tough, durable and ruggedized design, Samsung Rugby Smart is making its way to the mobile world with impressive specifications. The Rugby Smart can survive 30 minutes under water at a depth of 3.3 feet and is pretty tough against shock and dust.

Although 3.7 inches, the Super AMOLED display offers superb clarity and is covered with a scratch resistant tamper proof glass. The sensors in the Rugby Smart include Light sensor and proximity sensor in addition to accelerometer. Samsung Rugby Smart has the juice to keep going for about 16 days and offers 8 hours continuous talk time with its powerful 1650 mAh Li ion battery.

The 5 Megapixels primary camera allows the users to record 720p HD videos and the 1.3 Megapixel front camera allows video conferencing as well. The Media player of the phone supports multiple popular audio and video formats. However the Rugby Smart disappoints everyone with the lack of a 3.5 mm audio jack, which almost every ordinary handset has. The Samsung Rugby Smart will be out soon and details like the price would be announced quite soon.
