A rugged smartphone is a specific type of toughened smartphone which is designed to be completely sealed within a durable housing to protect it against damage from water, shock, dust, and vibration.[1][2][3] Rugged smartphones are designed to survive extreme weather and temperatures, accidental damage, and rough handling; making them ideal for working outdoors, or in harsh environments, along with use during extreme sports, such as sailing, rock climbing, etc.[1] Most rugged smartphones have been tested to tough IP68 standards.[1]
However, not all waterproof smartphones will be ruggedised.[1]
