Samsung B2100 Xplorer

I seldom see military-grade phones these days but the Samsung B2100 Xplorer is as rugged as any phone can get — both in land and under water.

The phone is pretty basic with just Bluetooth, a 1.3MP camera and FM tuner as its main features. Despite the lack of features, I’m pretty sure people who loves the outdoors will also love this phone.

Shock-resistant, water-resistant and dust-resistant (complies with European IP57 and US Military Standard 810F)
Water-proof up to 1 meter that lasts 30 minutes
Made of anti-shock materials (i.e. Urethane)
Noise cancellation with dedicated microphone
Flashlight with dedicated key

Placed it inside the aquarium for about 5 minutes with the flashlight on. You can even do some texting while it’s submerged in water. Of course, there’s that 1-meter limit so you can’t really bring it under on a diving trip.

Still, with a 1.3MP camera that can also record videos, you can snap a couple of shots or capture a short video while in the water. Suggested retail price is Php6,500.

    the micro phone on my B2100 DOES NOT WORK AFTER 2 MONTHS OF USE.

  5. [...] With all these features in mind, I personally took the risk and submersed the handset into our pond at home. I was not surprised when the phone did not seize any of it’s functions as i have had another phone fall into the toilet and yet the handset survived and with this i was not satisfied. I submersed the handset again for a longer period of time and this time, with the flashlight on and the camera recording. Much to my delight, i was able to capture short video clips of our Koi while chasing most of them with my phone that looked like a submarine because of the flashlight. I do not claim that the handset is perfectly waterproof like its bigger brother the Samsung B2100 Xplorer. [...]
