This super durable phone is perfect for people who need a device that can withstand drops, hits and even the occasional submersion in boiling hotpot broth. With an IP69K rating and proprietary Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop technology, you’ll be able to use this phone without a case. Plus, the hero Reddish Brown colourway features a reddish-brown faux leather back with glossy gold sides and accents, which makes it a rather auspicious-looking phone.
