The Most Rugged Phone On The Market
There aren’t many phones specifically designed to withstand extreme conditions. Phones are made of better and more durable material but they are just as delicate is ever. For some a phone made to last may be a little excessive but for anyone who lives a very active lifestyle might need a phone that is very durable. The Casio Exilim C721 is a phone built to last. Casio is known for its digital cameras. The G’zOne series of phones were released by Casio as well. The G’zOne phones were military tested and are extremely rugged. For its next addition to the cell phone world Casio combined the ruggedness of the G’zOne series of phones with their digital cameras, thus creating the Casio Exilim C721. This phone features a camera that takes photos, a durable casing, and even web browsing.
The Casio Exilim C721 has a better look and design than its predecessors. While the G’zOne series were phones built to last their physical appearance took a back seat and it was designed purely to be a sturdy phone. But the Exilim has an improved look and is more appealing than the previous phones. It is slim and wide. The Exilim is military tested and passes the MIL-STD 810F code. The phone is functional even while being submerged in water and can withstand exposure to rain, salt, extreme humidity, dust, and even solar radiation and still be completely functional. Surprisingly enough one can even take photos while the phone is completely submerged in water.
One of the features found on this phone is its 5.1-megapixel camera. The camera found on this phone functions as well as most point and shoots. The camera works well with the phones design. The flip compartment is able to completely rotate turning the screen into a camera view finder. You can use the view finder for self portraits or flip it back down and use it as a more traditional camera view finder. Most camera phones offer only 3 different settings for resolution. But on the Exilim there are 7 different settings. The camera also features a 16x digital zoom, image stabilizer, auto focus, and a bright LED flash. The phone also features various modes for taking pictures in various locations and situations. The mode titles are self explanatory like Person, Scenery, Night View, Food, Character, Party, etc. The phone can also record video. The video quality is good and the image stabilizer works well and leaves your video free of jerky movements.
The phone also features a full HTML web browser. The web browsing worked well and one will be able to see clearly websites despite the screens small size. Full HTML web browsing is usually only available on phones with larger screens, but the Exilim allows you to zoom in and out of web pages for a better view.
The Casio Exilim C721 is a rugged phone that will surely be appreciated by skydivers, scuba divers, etc alike. When all its featured are weighed together this phone amounts to a great device that will surely please anyone who purchases it. It is rather pricier than most phones but the cost is completely justified alone by the durability and camera feature.
