Out of the box, this rugged smartphone runs on Android 7.0 Nougat OS, which is the latest OS instalment from the house of Google.
Being a rugged phone, it is IP68 certified. Hence, the phone is water-resistant up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. It can also withstand a fall up to 1.2 meters since it is US Military MIL-STD 810G certified. In the camera department, there is a 13 megapixel primary rear camera with f/1.9 aperture, LED flash and can shoot Full HD videos. We get a 5 megapixel selfie camera on the front with f/2.2 aperture. It is 9.7mm thick and weighs 172 grams.

Since there is no demand for rugged phones in India, it is not expected to be launched here but if Samsung ever launches it in the country, we might include it in our best smartphones under 20000 segment.
