As an aside & question - I hate this slim, light goal. What I want is a thick phone with a battery that can stand heavy use for at least 24 hours (preferably changeable), and doesn't really need a case. To me it doesn't make sense to see this obsession with tiny phones that most people put cases on.
To be fair, the Razr 3 had good battery life and couldn't have a case, but in this world: Anyone have suggestions?
- fredley 8y agoThere are plenty of battery cases for most mainstream phones that allow you to build a device such as this.
- eli 8y agoDumb phone or smart phone? CAT makes some rugged android phones.
- Something1234 8y agoI love the concept of the cat phones. There's some real cool hardware in them like an infrared camera.
- ekianjo 8y agoMost recent phones dont have replaceable batteries unfortunately. Still, some options to consider: - AGM X2 - Doogee S60 - Zebra TC75x have large battery capacity.
- kijin 8y agoI agree with you wrt the battery, but I would prefer to put an aftermarket case on a more fragile phone than to buy a rugged phone that supposedly doesn't need a case. Both are going to be badly scratched up if dropped on or dragged across a rough surface. A cheap aftermarket case, though, is much easier to replace than the backside of a phone. In other words, a replaceable case has many of the same benefits as a replaceable battery.
- cesarb 8y agoAn interesting option is the Moto Z line with one of its external power pack accessories (in particular the Moto Z Play, which of the Moto Z line is the heaviest and the one with the biggest internal battery). The internal battery is not changeable, but the external power pack feels a lot like a changeable battery. (Disclaimer: I have one, as do several of my friends and coworkers.)
- abandonliberty 8y agoJust get a good case. Unfortunately most rugged phones are behind on the hardware side. Sonim has some pretty cool devices even engineered to work with gloves. Or you can go with a samsung active model.
