生活很艰难,我们依然要前行
If those incredibly masculine pickup truck commercials seem tame to you, if you work at a job with more OSHA inspectors than actual employees, and if you’ve broken more smartphone screens than human bones at your local half pipe, you might be in the market for a rugged phone. These toughened-up models come with extra protection from impacts, water damage, and other otherwise lethal threats to more mortal smartphones.
如果这些阳刚的卡车广告对您来说很驯服，如果您的工作中OSHA检查员的人数比实际雇员多，并且您在本地半管子上破坏的智能手机屏幕比人的骨头还多，那么您可能在市场中坚固的手机 这些坚固的机型具有额外的保护功能，可防止冲击，水损坏以及对更多致命智能手机造成的其他致命威胁。
Unfortunately, picking a smartphone that’s tough-as-nails often means compromising on some other features, and they’re hard to find even among today’s huge carrier retail selections. Here are the best picks on the market right now for each US carrier.
不幸的是，选择坚如磐石的智能手机通常意味着要折衷一些其他功能，即使在当今众多的运营商零售选择中也很难找到它们。 现在，这是每个美国航空公司在市场上的最佳选择。
AT＆T：Galaxy S7 Active (AT&T: Galaxy S7 Active)
Ma Bell seems to be the only carrier that’s really interested in offering a premium “tough” phone as part of its retail lineup—it’s been the exclusive US vendor for almost all of the Active variants of the Samsung Galaxy line for years. The latest one is from back in , the Galaxy S7 Active. It’s likely to be replaced in a few months with an updated S8 model, but even now it’s an excellent overall choice.
Ma Bell似乎是唯一真正有兴趣在其零售产品系列中提供优质“强韧”手机的运营商-多年来，它一直是三星Galaxy系列几乎所有Active型号的美国独家供应商。 最新的是推出的Galaxy S7 Active 。 可能会在几个月内用更新的S8型号替换它，但即使现在它还是一个绝佳的总体选择。
The Galaxy S7 Active is, more or less, the same phone as the Galaxy S7, in a super-protective shell. It has the same2560×1440 Super AMOLED screen, the same Snapdragon 820 processor, the same 32GB of storage space and 4GB of RAM, the same fingerprint sensor in the home button, the same excellent 12-megapixel rear camera. It’s even running a relatively recent version of Android, 6.0, and should be upgraded to 7.0 at some point. The beefier plastic body does let Samsung cram in a 4000mAh battery (one third larger than the normal S7). On top of that, it can withstand five feet (1.5 meters) of water pressure for up to half an hour, any amount of dust or sand, and the polymer-reinforced screen is rated for a five-foot drop onto a flat surface without cracking.
Galaxy S7 Active或多或少与Galaxy S7是同一款手机，但具有超强保护性。 它具有相同的2560×1440 Super AMOLED屏幕，相同的Snapdragon 820处理器，相同的32GB存储空间和4GB RAM，相同的Home键指纹传感器，相同的出色的12百万像素后置摄像头。 它甚至运行的是相对较新的Android 6.0版本，并且应该在某个时候升级到7.0。 更坚固的塑料外壳确实使三星可以装入4000mAh电池(比普通S7大三分之一)。 最重要的是，它可以承受五英尺(1.5米)的水压长达半小时，无论有多少灰尘或沙土，而且聚合物加固的筛网的额定落差为五英尺，可以掉落到平坦的表面上，而不会开裂。
You wouldn’t call the S7 Active “pretty,” but Samsung has put a lot of work into making the case much smaller and sleeker than similar rugged designs. Its’ a combination of aluminum and plastic with reinforced impact zones at the corners. As it happens, I put this phone through its paces myself over at Android Police, subjecting it to a battery of tests including a full laundry cycle and 20-foot drops onto concrete. It survived, with a few scars and a lot of bragging rights.
您不会将S7 Active称为“漂亮”，但三星已经付出了很多努力，以使该机壳比类似的坚固设计更小巧，更时尚。 它是铝和塑料的组合，在拐角处有增强的冲击区。 碰巧的是，我在Android Police上亲自调试了这款手机，对其进行了一系列测试，包括完整的洗衣周期和20英尺高的跌落在混凝土上的测试。 它幸存下来，有一些伤痕和许多吹牛的权利。
The Galaxy S7 Active is $695(though you can get one with a payment plan from AT&T), easily the most expensive phone on this list. But it’s also definitely the best, especially if you don’t want to compromise on specifications or creature comforts. (Note, though, that the CAT phone mentioned at the end of this post also works on AT&T, if you prefer something non-Samsung.) There’s a newer, cheaper option from LG, the “X Venture,” that has a similar rugged MIL-STD 810 body with mid-range specs. This phone has only a 1080p screen and just a Snapdragon 435/2GB combo, but the cheaper $330 price tag will be more appealing to anyone who needs a little durability on a budget.
Galaxy S7 Active的价格为695美元(尽管您可以从AT＆T处获得付款计划)，这很容易成为该清单上最昂贵的手机。 但这绝对也是最好的，特别是如果您不想在规格或生物舒适度上妥协时。 (不过，请注意，如果您喜欢非三星的产品，则本文结尾处提到的CAT电话也可以在AT＆T上使用。)LG提供了一种更新，更便宜的选择，即“ X Venture”，它具有类似的坚固性MIL-STD 810机身，中端规格。 这款手机只有一个1080p屏幕，只有一个Snapdragon 435 / 2GB组合，但是更便宜的330美元的价格对那些在预算上需要一点耐用性的人来说更具吸引力。
T-Mobile：无(解锁购买) (T-Mobile: None (Buy Unlocked))
At the time of writing, T-Mobile doesn’t offer a single “ruggedized” phone in its retail lineup. You’ll have to buy an unlocked GSM-compatible phone yourself and stick your SIM card in. Options include the Galaxy S7 Active above (though you’ll have to buy it outright from AT&T and get the carrier lock removed) or the CAT models below. Previously the carrier sold the Kyocera DuraForce XD, an older and larger version of the PRO phones below, which you might be able to find secondhand.
在撰写本文时，T-Mobile的零售阵容中没有提供任何一款“加固型”电话。 您必须自己购买解锁的GSM兼容手机，然后插入SIM卡。选项包括上方的Galaxy S7 Active(尽管您必须直接从AT＆T购买并卸下运营商锁)或CAT型号下面。 以前，运营商出售了Kyocera DuraForce XD ，它是下面PRO的旧版本和较大版本，您也许可以找到二手。
Verizon：带有蓝宝石盾牌的Kyocera DuraForce PRO (Verizon: Kyocera DuraForce PRO With Sapphire Shield)
Customers on Big Red have a whole two choices when it comes to rugged phones, which is a stunning variety in this very narrow field. At the moment, the carrier is selling the Kyocera DuraForce PRO, a phone that offers a rare synthetic sapphire screen, and the older Motorola DROID Turbo 2, which claims to be “shatterproof.”
在坚固耐用的手机上，Big Red的客户有两种选择，这是在这个非常狭窄的领域中令人惊叹的品种。 目前，运营商正在销售京瓷DuraForce PRO (一款提供罕见的合成蓝宝石屏幕的手机)和较旧的摩托罗拉DROID Turbo 2 ，后者声称具有“防碎性”。
The DuraForce PRO has more going for it than the sapphire display, which should resist scratches from anything except diamonds. It’s also submersible in up to 6.5 feet of water for half an hour, can repel dust and dirt, operates in temperature extremes, all that jazz. The screen can even work while underwater or through gloves. On top of that, the hardware’s not half bad: a Snapdragon 617 processor is paired to 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, including a MicroSD card slot. That battery is a generous 3240mAh, which should keep it going for a while with a 5-inch 1080p screen, and the rear camera is a full 13 megapixels. The phone runs Android 6.0, but don’t hold out for a Nougat upgrade, since Kyocera isn’t known for its software prowess. It goes for $408 outright—pretty reasonable for a carrier-branded phone—or $17 a month on a payment plan.
DuraForce PRO比蓝宝石显示器具有更多的用途，它可以抵抗钻石以外的任何刮擦。 它也可以浸入6.5英尺深的水中达半小时，可以驱除灰尘和污垢，可以在极端温度下工作，所有这些都是爵士乐。 屏幕甚至可以在水下或戴手套时工作。 最重要的是，硬件还算不错：Snapdragon 617处理器与3GB RAM和32GB存储(包括一个MicroSD卡插槽)配对。 该电池的容量为3240mAh，可以在5英寸1080p屏幕上保持一段时间，而后置摄像头则为13兆像素。 该手机运行的是Android 6.0，但不支持Nougat升级，因为京瓷以其出色的软件能力而闻名。 它的价格为408美元(对于运营商品牌的电话来说是相当合理的)，或者每月17美元的付款计划。
The DROID Turbo 2 isn’t rugged in the classical sense, it’s more of an honorable mention. The Verizon flagship from is still being sold, and it’s actually been upgraded to Android 7.0. Motorola uses a mixture of high-quality polycarbonate layers (not tempered glass) to create its patented “ShatterShield” screen, which it claims is basically unbreakable by any normal means. If the outer layer gets scratched, Motorola sells a user-replaceable top (basically an extra-tough screen protector) for thirty bucks. The rest of the phone isn’t especially tough, but it’s more than serviceable, and the big 3760mAh battery will be enough to win some fans on its own. The DROID Turbo 2 goes fro $528 outright or $22 a month.
DROID Turbo 2并非经典意义上的坚固产品，更值得一提。 以来的Verizon旗舰产品仍在销售中，实际上已升级到Android 7.0。 摩托罗拉使用高质量聚碳酸酯层(非钢化玻璃)的混合物来制造其获得专利的“ ShatterShield”屏幕，它声称通过任何常规手段基本上都不会损坏。 如果外层被刮擦，摩托罗拉会以三十美元的价格出售用户可更换的机顶(基本上是超硬的屏幕保护膜)。 手机的其余部分并不是特别坚固，但它不仅可以维修，而且大容量3760mAh电池足以自己赢得一些粉丝。 DROID Turbo 2的价格为528美元或每月22美元。
冲刺：京瓷DuraForce PRO (Sprint:Kyocera DuraForce PRO)
Sprint isoffering the sane model of rugged phone as Verizon: the Kyocera DuraForce PRO. This model has there same specifications and protection as the Verizon model, with one huge exception: only Verizon gets the fancy synthetic sapphire screen. The Sprint model has to make do with Corning’s (still quite serviceable) tempered Gorilla Glass. Despite the lack of fancy screen tech, Sprint’s model is slightly more expensive at $432 or $18 a month. Bummer.
Sprint正在提供坚固耐用的手机型号 Verizon：Kyocera DuraForce PRO。 该型号具有与Verizon型号相同的规格和保护，但有一个很大的例外：只有Verizon才能获得精美的人造蓝宝石屏幕。 Sprint模型必须与康宁的(仍相当实用)的钢化大猩猩玻璃配合使用。 尽管缺乏花哨的屏幕技术，Sprint的型号还是稍贵一些，每月432美元或18美元。 笨蛋
解锁：CAT S60 (Unlocked: CAT S60)
Perhaps the most dramatic entry on this list is the CAT S60. Yes, that CAT—the manufacturer of construction equipment. Caterpillar international doesn’t actually manufacture the phone itself, licensing its brand name to UK-based Bullitt Group, but it’s hard to deny that this thing will appeal to anyone who wants a phone that can take a massive beating and still play Angry Birds.
也许这个列表中最引人注目的条目是CAT S60 。 是的，那个CAT-建筑设备制造商。 卡特彼勒(Caterpillar)国际公司实际上并未自行制造手机，而是将其品牌名称授权给了英国的Bullitt Group，但很难否认，这款产品将吸引那些想要一款可以承受巨大跳动并仍能玩《愤怒的小鸟》的人。
The chunky metal-and-carbon fiber frame is resistant to water at up to five meters (sixteen feet) for up to an hour so long as you remember to lock down the switches on the front and back of the device. It’s impervious to a six-foot drop and pretty much anything that isn’t delivered via gunpowder combustion, and it works at temperatures below zero and above 130 degree Fahrenheit. The speakers can even go into a high frequency mode to quickly cycle water out. What makes the S60 completely unique (and different from the older and much cheaper S40, also unlocked) is that it includes a built-in FLIR thermal camera for taking images images of hot and cold surfaces. Why would you need that? If you have to ask, you probably don’t, but it comes in handy for a lot of industrial applications.
厚实的金属和碳纤维框架在长达五小时(十六英尺)的高度防水，长达一个小时，只要您记得将设备前后的开关锁定即可。 它可以承受六英尺高的跌落以及几乎没有通过火药燃烧传递的任何东西，并且可以在低于零和高于华氏130度的温度下工作。 扬声器甚至可以进入高频模式以快速循环出水。 使S60完全独特(并且与较旧且便宜得多的S40 (也已解锁)不同)的原因在于，它包括一个内置的FLIR热像仪，用于拍摄冷热表面图像。 你为什么需要那个？ 如果需要询问，可能不需要，但对于许多工业应用而言，它很方便。
All that protection doesn’t leave much room for a screen, and the one behind the toughened Gorilla Glass of the CAT S60 is only 4.7 inches and 720p. The rest of the specs are much more agreeable, including a Snapdragon 617 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage plus a MicroSD card slot, a conventional 13 megapixel camera that can augment the detail of the thermal cam, and Android 6.0. The battery is capacious at 3800mAh, and combined with the small screen and efficient processor should run the phone for two full days at least.
所有这些保护措施并没有为屏幕留出足够的空间，而CAT S60的钢化大猩猩玻璃背后只有4.7英寸和720p。 其余规格则更加令人满意，包括Snapdragon 617处理器，3GB RAM，32GB存储空间以及MicroSD卡插槽，一个传统的13兆像素相机(可以增加热凸轮的细节)和Android 6.0。 电池容量为3800mAh，加上小屏幕和高效的处理器，至少可以使手机运行两整天。
All that protection and the FLIR camera comes at a price, and it’s $630 retail. The US version of the phone comes with bands specifically supported by AT&T, T-Mobile, and their various MVNO partners, while the international model has more generic GSM-LTE support. Verizon and Sprint customers are out of luck, since there’s no CDMA variant.
所有这些保护功能和FLIR相机的价格不菲，零售价为630美元。 美国版本的电话带有AT＆T，T-Mobile及其各种MVNO合作伙伴特别支持的频段，而国际型号则具有更通用的GSM-LTE支持。 Verizon和Sprint的客户很不幸，因为没有CDMA版本。
另一种选择：超级防护箱 (Another Option: Super-Protective Cases)
If none of the above appeal to you, and you’d rather have a larger choice of smartphone, you have another option:a deluxe phone case. These elaborate designs are meant to give a standard phone increased protection for the body and screen, and some even include sealed ports for some basic waterproofing. They’re bulky, and sometimes a pain to apply and remove, but they’re cheaper than a full “rugged” phone and allow users some flexibility for the times when they don’t need extreme protection.
如果以上都不对您有吸引力，并且您希望选择更多的智能手机，那么您还有另一种选择：豪华手机壳。 这些精致的设计旨在为标准手机提供对机身和屏幕的增强保护，甚至还包括用于某些基本防水功能的密封端口。 它们体积庞大，有时会难以使用和移除，但它们比完整的“坚固”手机便宜，并且在用户不需要极端保护的情况下为他们提供了一定的灵活性。
Super-protective cases tend to be restricted to the flagship model phones from each manufacturer due to decreased demand, and the multi-part cases are much more expensive than a standard slip case. Well-regarded brands include Otterbox’s Defender lineandSpigen Tough Armor.
由于需求下降，超级保护壳往往仅限于每个制造商的旗舰型号手机，而多部分保护壳比标准的滑套要贵得多。 备受好评的品牌包括Otterbox的Defender系列和Spigen Tough Armor 。
