New York, NY, April 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Many users need a rugged phone due to its durability or long endurance. But can rugged phones be improved or have more functional features to meet more practical needs in demanding environments? FOSSiBOT has been dedicated to developing and enhancing rugged smartphones to meet better the demands of outdoor enthusiasts or harsh environment workers. And then, the FOSSiBOT F106 Pro was born. FOSSiBOT claims it to be the world's first rugged phone, combining an ample camping light and a prominent speaker, and it's the best rugged smartphone in its range. This new smartphone is set to go on sale in mid-April.
The FOSSiBOT F106 PRO has a unique design; you can notice it even among dozens of rugged smartphones. Sported with a large 6.58-inch FHD+ waterdrop display protected by Dragontrail Glass from Asahi, it's designed to withstand drops and scratches. The back features cameras, a flashlight, a large speaker cover, and a prominent LED camping light from top to middle. FOSSiBOT's logo is embossed on the X-shape metal decoration. The lower section bears waterproof and ruggedness indicators and a lanyard hole. The whole body is strengthened to be IP68 waterproof, dust-proof, and shock-resistant. The high-brightness LED camp light meets various work needs in practical scenarios such as construction sites, tunnel operations, wood cutting, automobile repairs, and utility maintenance. At the same time, the large speaker provides better call notifications in noisy environments or excellent music playback in outdoor camping.
According to FOSSiBOT, the FOSSiBOT F106 Pro boasts a 48MP primary camera with AI algorithm, a 20MP night vision camera from Sony for dark environment shooting, and a 16MP front camera from Sony. Combining a waterproof feature and a fantastic 48MP camera, the F106 Pro allows underwater photography and video recording. The prominent speaker outputs 3W rated power with 3.5W peak power and a maximum decibel level of 103dB. It also provides the best sound quality among smartphones in its price range. The high volume ensures you won't miss calls outdoors or in noisy environments, while the high-quality sound lets you enjoy music even in open outdoor fields. The camping light outputs 3W with three brightness levels, reaching a maximum brightness of 512 lumens. Additionally, it features SOS and flash modes, so you can use them to seek help or exposure to your location when needed.
Apart from the large speaker and high-brightness camping light, the upcoming FOSSiBOT F106 Pro is generally a mid-range smartphone. A MediaTek Helio G85 processor powers it and has a 12000mAh battery. Its 30W charger can fully charge the device in 3 hours and charge to 70% in just 1.5 hours. With one charge, FOSSiBOT F106 Pro can stand for more than 35 days with a single SIM inserted, ensuring longer outdoor endurance. The device packs 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, supporting an additional 7GB of RAM expansion to accommodate more multitasking and heavy games.
