Lai VersagaNovember 24, 2017

Just a few days ago we received an information about Vernee working on their first real rugged phone model and today we have finally something more solid in hand about it. For starters you can check the following video about this Vernee Active, showing all the extra design choices like light and slim body, 2.5D curve design and 5,5-inch big screen, which are not that common for the “traditional” rugged phones.

Vernee Active will be also carrying quite some solid hardware equipment on board and it just looks good when you read through the main points revealed today.

As for this kind of smartphones, i would rather like Ulefone Armor 2. IP68 is the highest standard of dust and water proofing currently. 4700mAh big battery. Custom-made rugged design also provides an all-round protection. With 64GB ROM+6GB RAM you are allowed to pre-store numerous necessary apps and files. 16MP back camera and 13MP selfie shooter create images with sharp details and vivid colors. https://sale.aliexpress.com/__pc/brands_ulefone.htm

I dont think Vernee aiming to compete in the “rugged” market against Cat and similar bulky devices with Vernee Active.
I guess they going after the customer who consider a Samsung Galaxy S8 Active.
1: It got NFC support (Most smaller Chinese brands still only got Bluetooth support)
Very important if you use Android Pay etc..
2. It will be Vernees first device with fully global frequencies. In other words it will work in the US market.
If the pricing will be right I think they might have a best seller.

I wonder when Vernee produces their own signature phone. In terms of
rugged phone, I supports NOMU as always for its truly excellent rugged
phones.
Not bad in terms of the hardware configuration, but I’m not exactly sure
about this phone for its professionalism, as this is the first rugged
phone Vernee made. I think I would prefer to use T18 from NOMU, after
all it produces rugged phone for a long time.
