We haven't tested a rugged phone in a long time, but now the Doogee S98 is here, which kicks the door on the market with its unusual appearance. In addition to the usual rugged phone capabilities, it also boasts features such as the secondary display on the back, the "night vision" camera, but I could also mention the relatively new Helio G96 central core. To this, they added 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, a lot of cameras and ports, so basically everything on earth is at your disposal. However, they ask for the price, in a pre-order sale it costs HUF 119, delivery is an additional HUF 000. VAT is paid by Banggood for its products, so you should not have such problems with the Doogee S2300 either.

The Umidigi Bison was a relatively controversial rugged phone that we tested about half a year ago. Since then, the GT variant has arrived, which has much rougher hardware, with almost the same appearance. 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, a faster SoC, a higher-resolution 64 MP main camera and the usual unbreakable exterior with all kinds of sensors - such as the NFC - packed. Even the display has become larger and its touch sensitivity has improved. However, the amount asked for it has gone up considerably, compared to the previous model's price of HUF 45, you can get the car for HUF 000 with the code BG8902, EU Priority Line delivery costs an additional HUF 71.

F150, a new brand created under the supervision of Oukitel, launched its first rugged phone, the B2021. It was crammed full of sensors, yet the device managed to remain surprisingly cheap. For HUF 34, you get NFC, dual WiFi, fast charging, 000-5 days of operating time, and the device is resistant to almost all external influences, a real worker's phone in the positive sense of the word.

Umidigi is working very hard for customers, coming out with new cheap mobile phones one after another, and now they are trying to make their way in the rugged phone segment. For HUF 45, you get 000 GB of RAM, 6 GB of storage space, an unbreakable device that meets the IP128K standard, which even has an NFC chip. VAT- and duty-free delivery is provided by the EU Priority Line method, roughly HUF 69 in exchange.

I have written many times that the circle cannot be squared, which is why modern smartphones all look the same. Then Kingkong came along and did the same thing: it released a rugged phone with a 4-inch display. I won't even describe the technical data, digest the previous sentence, and if you've wanted a small phone until now, then start rubbing your palms together. Or rather not at all, but read the test about the phone available for less than HUF 32, because it is quite instructive.

The Ulefone Armor 6E is an inexpensive IP69K-certified rugged phone with a brutally rugged exterior. You can buy it on Banggood for HUF 63 including VAT-free shipping, which is a pretty good price considering the Helio P000 processor, 70 GB RAM, NFC and 4-inch display. I think it has a 6,2 mAh battery, which is considered ideal in the non-removable phone category, which can easily last 5000-3 days.

It's been a while since we've tested a rugged phone, so it's about time to test the Cubot Quest. The infinitely discounted device is quite powerful on paper and contains surprising functions. It's a shame that we can't recommend it wholeheartedly due to software errors, even though its price of HUF 44 is very tempting.
