Going to rugged phones for me and kids. You get used to the heft but they handle accidental falls like champs. Also can have neat features like 3 day battery, headphone jack, SD card, and fm radio! Ulefone Armor series.
Eh... I mean the physical phone itself might be great... but software security for these phones are... um... awful... (IMO)
Late security updates and only like 2 years of security updates in total
I mean even if you do manage to unlock the bootloader, last I checked, Lineage OS does not support these phones...
Might be better to just slap a rugged case on a "mainstream" phone
Sure but my argument is about rugged phones, my exact circumstances have taken me to use this model, because the "better" manufacturers ignore this segment. But if a better alternative becomes available I'm in.
