Every time I hear about a so-called “tough,” “durable” phone or whatever, I can’t help but think of Nokia and reminisce about how ‘indestructible’ their phones were before smartphones took over.

You see, this device likely has all the types of protection you can get out of a consumer device, which is honestly great to have on a smartphone that is usually fragile to begin with. But is durability the only thing that makes this phone stand out in a highly competitive midrange market? You see, this phone has the strongest levels of protection yet, including IP66-, IP68-, IP69-, and wait for it, IP69K along with a stronger drop resistance, said to survive a fall from up to 2.5 meters. Well, it means that the phone can withstand high temperature water for up to 85-degrees Celsius, according to HONOR.
