    Are those antennae on the phone? Do they also flip open?

    • martin_henry on 23/10/2018 - 13:14

      Geez, I hope so, otherwise the antenna won't last long against a 385 gram body

  • winXPHE on 22/10/2018 - 15:25

    Im happy with this

    This phone looks so unusual that it got me googling. Here's an interesting find: it was successfully crowdfunded on indiegogo.

      That is very interesting…. A good read.

  • placard on 22/10/2018 - 15:34

    I don't need this…my current phone is doing fine:

    • xoom on 23/10/2018 - 08:05

      Yeah. Except there is no more 2g in australia. So what phone are you actually using?

    Nice battery, otherwise garbage

      How is it garbage? Decent specs and a reasonable price, plus it's virtually indestructible.

      • Purewinter on 22/10/2018 - 15:47

        gotta agree seems pretty great for alot of people

    10,000mAh battery, holy shit

      Makes you realise how crappy all those phones with 3000mAh are…

      • Andard on 22/10/2018 - 20:12

        They're also half the size (and weight) :) but agreed, next phone I'm getting will be at least 4000mAh

      I think the word you seek is phallus

  • noramando on 22/10/2018 - 15:44

    Lol thought it was a CB there for a minute.

    • eug on 22/10/2018 - 15:48

      It has a radio built in, unfortunately it's 400-470MHz so misses out on our CB band.

      • Bunsen on 22/10/2018 - 16:44

        Dunno y u would even consider wanting the UHF CB Band, let alone in ur phone..

        Only useful purpose is to gain entry into roadside demolition/building sites..

        Does cover the 70cm Amateur band tho, which is nice in a phone, now that i would use :)

        • eug on 22/10/2018 - 19:27

          Only useful purpose is to gain entry into roadside demolition/building sites..

          If you go on multi-car road trips, convoys, hikes, often, it might be handy.

          Does cover the 70cm Amateur band tho, which is nice in a phone, now that i would use :)

          Dunno, nowadays wouldn't you want something with DMR or D-Star?

          • Bunsen on 22/10/2018 - 20:53

            @eug: I dont use Digital.. Prefer voice modes…

            I was referring to UHF in Sydney (+ other metro areas), nothing more…

            & a heads-up - unless u hold an Amateur licence, I wouldn’t recommend using ANY frequency the phone covers (besides phone calls obviously), as its a Federal offence to do so… Unless it only does like 50-100mW… Didn’t read the specs for the phone… But that wont get u far, distance wise…

            • eug on 22/10/2018 - 21:59

              They're digital voice modes. Breathes some life into a dying hobby. :)

    This looks like my kinda "cool". Gonna get one.

    Looks like a walkie Talkie over

    • Ge3ks on 22/10/2018 - 16:34

      Stop holding the button down after you talk. Over.

  • fruxo on 22/10/2018 - 16:18

    Never heard of it, but sounds very cool! Assuming antenna is simply screwed in and can be removed, but I'm sure that would be the case considering it looks like a lot of thought went into this.

    Edit: can't see thickness, but some photos seems to indicate it's a proper brick though 🙂

    • [Deactivated] on 22/10/2018 - 16:43

      looks like the antenna is used for intercom

    Their product page has this enticing comment:

    Weight: 385g. My iPhone X which I consider heavy is 170g.
    Well this phone is maybe for construction workers or something

    • klaw81 on 22/10/2018 - 17:24

      170 grams is not heavy….but this has 3-4 times the battery capacity, and some serious reinforcement in the frame, so the extra weight makes sense.

        Binging Netflix and holding phone in the air, trust me it gets there.

          Would Googling Netflix make it better?

  • bm on 22/10/2018 - 17:31

    Not to be confused with the dashcam manufacturer Blackvue?

      their name looks to be the same font.

    I bought one just for the fun of it. I'm actually quite happy with my Moto X4 but damn man… a walkie talkie built in? I wanted to buy two so I could use it to talk to my friends, but I don't have any.

    there are currently 3 brands in this rugged smartphone race. blackview, doogee and ulefone. these companies are trying to dominate the market by cloning each other. price, stock levels and customer service is the about the only thing that sets them apart.

    • eug on 23/10/2018 - 23:11

      Don't forget the CAT S60 and S61. Their selling point is the integrated thermal camera.

      They also have "normal" rugged phones as well.

      For a smaller form factor, there's the Unihertz Atom too.

      At the upper end of the market, there's the Panasonic Toughbook T1, although that's a very niche product with its integrated barcode scanner.
