Samsung Rugby 3 Review

Online, March 28, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Available from AT&T, the Samsung Rugby 3 has a durable body that meets up to U.S. Military Standards 810G for water, dust and shock. The body is made of hardened plastic and diagonal slashes along the side give it a little grip, however, Samsung didn't add any gripping material to the outside of the phone, so it's pretty slick. Closed, the Rugby 3 is 4.1 by 2.1 by 0.82 inches and weighs 4.6 ounces. On the front is a 1.3 inch display that shows the battery meter, time, signal strength, and date. There's also a 3 megapixel camera by the front display. Inside is a 2.4 inch screen with 320x240 pixel resolution and 262,000 color support. Text comes in clear, however graphics may be slightly fuzzy. The 4-directional pad, soft keys and numerical pad are very easy to navigate and press correctly, even with big fingers. There's a flat head screw holding the back on. Remove the back and the user gains access to the SIM card and the memory card. The call quality is the lowest point on the Rugby 3 - it's grainy, lots of static and difficult to hear with both the ear piece and the speakerphone.

Keep the Rugby 3 charged at all times with a vehicle charger. The Samsung Rugby III Qmadix Vehicle Power Charger with Auxiliary USB Port gives power on the go when it is needed. The Samsung Rugby III Vehicle Power Charger is constructed from rugged polycarbonate material with reinforced strain relief at all connector points. The Samsung Rugby III Charger is sonically-sealed for a seamless appearance. The Vehicle Power Charger provides 10W (2.1amps) of mobile charging power. The Auxiliary USB Port allows the user to charge an additional device simultaneously using a Standard USB 2.0 Charging Cable.

Another charging option is an external battery pack. The Samsung Rugby III Naztech PB15000 Universal Power Bank is the ultimate backup power source for all mobile devices. With included adapter tips for smartphones, MP3 players, tablets, laptops and netbooks, this is the only backup battery the user will ever need. Within its sleek and portable design, the PB15000 packs a colossal amount of power that translates into hours of extra usage. Perfect for road warriors and busy professionals, the PB15000 allows the user to spend less time charging the Samsung Rugby III device and more time using it.
