Editorial note

The RugGear RG700 stands out for its robustness and exceptional resistance thanks to its IP68 certification, which protects it against water, dust, and shocks. Its rugged design and 5.3-inch screen size provide a pleasant visual experience, although the resolution of 960 x 540 pixels may seem limited for some users. In terms of performance, the MediaTek MT6577 processor at 1 GHz with 2 cores is suitable for basic tasks but may show signs of slowing down when using more demanding applications. Additionally, the 1 GB RAM capacity and 8 GB internal storage can quickly become insufficient for those looking to install many applications or store multimedia files. The 2900 mAh battery ensures satisfactory autonomy, allowing for prolonged conversations and daily use without frequent recharging. However, the Android 4.1.2 operating system is outdated and may restrict access to certain modern applications, thus limiting updates and features. As for features, the RG700 offers modern options like Bluetooth 4.0 and contactless payment, but the lack of a USB port and FM radio may reduce its versatility. Overall, the RugGear RG700 represents an interesting choice for users with specific needs, particularly outdoors, but may not be suitable for those seeking a more powerful and modern device.
