More and more often, phones are being released with shiny glass backs, smooth metal frames, and other design elements to make them as attractive as can be. That`s great if you prefer form over function, but what about if you`re in the market for a smartphone that you don`t need to baby nonstop? These aren`t phones we`d usually recommend if you`re shopping for the best Android phone overall, but if you`re especially accident-prone, these devices are kind of perfect. Here are the best rugged Android phones we could find!
Excellent value
Blackview BV5500 Pro
Staff pick
Rugged phones don`t always have to be expensive, and the Blackview BV5500 is a perfect example of just that. This rugged phone features MIL-STD-810G and IP68 resistance ratings, meaning that it`s drop-proof and you can submerge it in five feet of water for up to 30 minutes. There`s also a big 4,400 mAh battery, a 5.5-inch HD+ screen, and dual rear cameras.
