About Rugged Smartphone
Rugged smartphones are designed in such a way that they can withstand shock, dust, rain, cold, high temperature, and many other demanding environments. The only difference between rugged smartphones and standard smartphones is the toughness. In order to be classified as rugged, a smartphone has to undergo a series of tests. Rugged smartphones are designed for niche markets like the military, law enforcement, oil and gas extraction rigs, and many other markets where the environment is demanding.
