The French adventurer phone.

For the look, it's really impressive. To quote a friend, the Batman phone. It's a bit aggressive design of Lamborghini transposed on a phone. It has IP68 which allows protection against dust / water and a drop resistance up to 1.2m.

It has a 4-inch screen reinforced with an IPS panel with WVGA resolution (480 x 800). The movable hull has rubber reinforcements on the sides. On the front side, these reinforcements slightly beyond the screen, which further protects the most. there are only the uppermost part of the screen that is not protected. So in case of fall, this area is at risk. The rather thick battery cover has a pattern that looks like tire tracks. Any practice is apparent screws and bolts are classic, gray and flat as handymen are used to utilser (cache battery is flat and port MicroUSB and 3.5mm caches have cruciform). It runs version 4.3 of Android. The volume buttons are plastic / caoutchou hard enough to support because they are supposed to be resistant to falls while being waterproof. You have to press it. Caches and Jack MicroUSB ports are fixed by screws as mentioned above. Being very tight, they are quite hard to open, especially that of the MicroUSB port. A report that is not required to unscrew every time, just put his finger in the notch and fold the cover. Especially that the screws are not very strong, finally the screw head whose cross deforms quite quickly. Note that Crosscall provides a dual caches and screws.

The mobile is Dual-SIM and uses conventional SIM cards, so major. It has a MicroSD slot. To clarify that it is necessary to remove the battery to access it. The back is an 8 megapixel camera with single LED flash. Immediately, I can tell you that the photos are not terrible. To view them, the screen does not help because it gives the impression of a reflection or I do know how to explain that makes watching the picture, position the some way in order to see the Photo. So do not even mention the 0.3 megapixel front sensor. The music player has a complete equalizer with possible settings. In the connectivity level, it is of course compatible 3G +, WiFi 802.11 b / g / n and Bluetooth 3.0.

At the seal, I tested and I can confirm that it is waterproof and coca cola. Especially check that caches MicroUSB ports and Jack are nested. Because water can not penetrate that at these locations, because the cache battery screwed, inside, there is an outline with a small burr for well sealed. All other places with screws, they are protected with small pads caoutchous. Small precision that comes directly from Crosscall following my test with Coke. It is completely waterproof IP68, but its screen is indeed not sensitive underwater. Simply put, once the screen is wet, it no longer simply reacts or so when pressed, it detects our finger to another location on the screen, so it does not rest where you want . Still on the screen, one can see that is directly bonded to the seal, because the adhesive is visible below. To see if the glue will not deteriorate with time and attacks sand / dust / water acidity of the products used to test its strength.

I have not tested voluntarily to drop / throw it on the ground to see if it is resistant to falls. I prefer it falls unintentionally / occasionally ground to confirm resistance. Because even if it costs only 229, I'd be a little bummed to break my screen to test voluntarily because for the rest, there is not much risk of breakage.

The box contains mobile, Li-Ion 2930 mAh battery which is quite impressive, it is very thick to fill the thickness of the mobile, AC adapter, USB cable, the headset non-ear, a small cuff with integrated compass, carabiner and a small tool to loosen the screws of the flat battery cover. In terms of dimensions, it is 139 x 74.1 x 19mm for 255g weight. So, once in hand, it's pretty impressive by its weight of 255g and thickness of 2cm.
