Land Rover Releases A Rugged Phone For The Outdoors

GearEvan HoltFebruary 27, 2018Land RoverComment

Land Rover has announced a rugged phone for the outdoors called the Land Rover Explore which can survive underwater and can cope with extreme temperatures, thermal shock and vibration exposure. It features a 5" screen which can be controlled even when wet and with gloved hands and it is fitted with a screen protector and protective case than can survive underwater to 1.8 metres (including salt water).

This phone is capable of operating and navigating in extreme conditions for two full days with the screen on constantly. There is an optional Adventure Pack that will double the battery life of the internal 4000m Ah battery.

“This is the smartphone we’d all like to own – a perfect combination of design and functionality that embodies the Land Rover DNA and enables customers to be outdoors for longer, with the confidence to go further.”

— Joe Sinclair - Director Of Branded Goods And Licensing, Jaguar Land Rover
