durability

IP68, 1.8m drop resistant, MIL-STD-810HSurvived a 6-foot drop onto concrete and can handle a 30-minute dunking in a pool; rated for the toughest field conditions.

battery

5500 mAh, about one day heavy useWith constant outdoor work and screen-on tasks, expect a full day before you need to plug in; wireless charging only means no cable to carry.

performance

Snapdragon 480 5G, light apps and callsHandles messaging, maps, and camera apps without lag, but demanding games or photo editing will stall noticeably.

display

6.5-inch IPS LCD, 270 ppi, 720x1600Sharp enough for reading at arm's length, but outdoor visibility in bright sun is dim because the panel lacks high brightness specs.

camera

48MP main, 2MP macro, 1080p videoThe 48MP sensor takes decent daylight photos that hold up when cropped, but low-light shots and video lack detail and smoothness.

connectivity

5G, Wi-Fi 6 not supported, NFCSub-6 5G on compatible networks; Wi-Fi maxes out at AC (Wi-Fi 5), so older than competing models at this price; NFC works for contactless payments.
