Packing a 720p 5.7 inch screen with an IPS LCD panel, this device offers support for LTE Category and stands out through a dust proof and waterproof case. The product complies with the IPX5/IPX8 standards, as well as the IP6X one. It also sticks to the toughness standards defined by the MIL-STD810G code. Inside this model there’s a 3700 mAh battery and we seem to be getting a customized flavour of Android here.
