Phones that look like a smartphone yet act like a tough phone

The T1 and T10 are game-changers. They look and feel like the beautifully engineered smartphone you would expect to see with a Samsung or Apple logo on them, yet they are built to withstand the rigours of life on a farm or construction site. These are phones that can be dropped from height without fear of the screen shattering, or immersed in water without being damaged, but they still look perfectly at home in a business meeting or a social gathering. Thanks in part to For further details please contact their titanium-aluminium alloy internal frames, these devices don’t need bulky plastic outers to make them rugged, and so they can take on a sleek appearance more akin to a regular RAMSAK agrena on smartphone. 01622 815356 3
