Maybe it is because i grew up in a more rural setting. But i am gladly taking a more bulky and low spec phone if it means it is more rugged in various ways.

- Larrikin 9y agoMy last couple phones have all been Sony Xperia phones simply because they are water proof/resistant. It's hard to go back to anything else after you get used to it. Never have to worry about damage in the rain and its great being able to use the phone in the shower.

- KGIII 9y agoThey also make a number of water resistant phones. They aren't really any more bulky. Some have things like Girilla Glass and are pretty robust. I'm not sure that lower specs are a requirement.
- revelation 9y agoNone of them will survive submersion for any significant amount of time.
- Symbiote 9y agoA Sony Xperia, or similar, is rated for 30 minutes at 1.5m depth (IP65 / IP68). Presumably, it would last a fair bit longer at (waterlevel-waistheight) depth. My first was replaced under warranty due to water damage, but the replacement is fine. I haven't subjected it to more than a few minutes submersion, or heavy rain.
- QAPereo 9y agoI purchased an S5 Active, and I had seen me through when I would have clumsily murdered most other phones. I agree that ruggedization is practically essential.
