Samsung may be flying high on INNOV8 but they sure have at least a toe on the ground. Just recently they spilled the low-to-mid-end bag, so we don't forget a flagship is only as good as the fleet behind it. No handset in the handful they just recently dropped is likely to top the food chain but what a massive landing it was.
Quite duly, the first in the dozen to make it to the GSMArena shore is the B2700 toughie. The latest rugged handset by Samsung has the same level of dust and water splash resistance as the toughest of phones Sonim XP1. The feature set is the great difference.
We're yet to see how hard it is to break the B2700, but a compass, pedometer, altimeter and a flashlight do make it harder to resist. Significantly cheaper than the Sonim XP1, Samsung B2700 is making a good go at the rugged phone market.
