The Samsung Rugby certainly lived up to its namesake – after all, it was one rugged phone back in 2010, but how has the years treated the device? Obviously, Samsung is not going to rest on their laurels as we have seen with past smartphone iterations, and has announced a spanking new rugged smartphone under the Rugby name as well – the Samsung Rugby Smart. It is officially available over at AT&T, and will launch this coming March 4th for $99.99 a pop – coupled with a 2-year contract, of course. Just how tough is the Samsung Rugby Smart? For starters, it was specially developed to cater to military specifications (810F standards), enabling it to shrug off stuff like dust, extreme temperatures as well as sport the ability to be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for up to half an hour.
As for the other hardware specifications, the Samsung Rugby Smart will feature the following under the hood – a 3.7″ WVGA Super AMOLED display, a 5-megapixel camera with 720p video capture ability, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing shooter, 4GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, a 1,650mAh battery, HSPA+ connectivity, all running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. No idea on whether Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is in the pipeline for this, but for folks who feel that they do suffer from butterfingers, the Samsung Rugby Smart does seem like a (excuse the pun) smart deal.
