AGM Glory rugged smartphone: extra large screen and super loud speaker

I have been amazed with relative newcomer AGM mobile’s selection of telephones about the last yr.

Both of those the AGM M7 and H3 rugged telephones I reviewed were being outstanding and the hottest supplying, the AGM Glory rugged smartphone, looks to be quite spectacular certainly.

I noticed two things as before long as I got the cellular phone out of the box. It has an excess-substantial screen and is quite major-weighty because of to a really substantial speaker on the back of the machine.

This usually means that the cellular phone does not lay flat on the desk but tilts to you marginally, producing reading through the screen really easy.

The Glory is rated at IP68/IP69K which usually means that it is water-resistant, dustproof, and hermetically sealed. It is also fall tested to a height of one.5m conforming to MIL-STD-810H.

The rubber bumper all around the screen is marginally elevated to minimise impression damage to the screen. The corners of the cellular phone are elevated curved rubber which is easy to keep in the hand.

Inside of the Glory, there is a 2021-produced eight core Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 processor chip with two Kryo 460 Gold cores working at up to two.0GHz and six Kryo 460 Silver cores working at up to one.eight GHz. This chip will guidance 5G if you are in a 5G location. The graphics GPU is a nicely undertaking Qualcomm Adreno 619.

The Glory selection arrives with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and either 128 or 256GB storage depending on the choice you opt for.

The digital camera is substantial at 174.eight x eighty four.two x seventeen.5mm, but it does not truly feel unpleasant in my medium-sized palms. The cellular phone feels weighty and strong at 360g in body weight – almost certainly because of to its spectacular 6200mAh battery which will give you up to two times of use.

The Glory selection supports wi-fi charging, or you can plug the cellular phone into the wall employing the provided USB variety A or USB variety-C cable. You can also purchase an optional desk charger for the cellular phone from AGM and location the phone’s four pogo pins on to the charger.

The battery is greater than the Oukitel WP8 Pro’s 5000mAh battery, but it has some way to go ahead of it matches the 8000mAh battery of the Oukitel WP10 or the Doogee S86’s whopping 8500mAh battery.

On the other hand, this machine beats all of its levels of competition in its skill to go on functioning in small temperatures down to –27 levels C (-16.six levels F).

AGM suggests that the cellular phone will go on to work in these temperatures for up to 24 hours ahead of shutting down. I did not check this as my freezer only goes down to –19 levels C.

The Glory has a substantial six.fifty three-inch waterdrop incell screen. The waterdrop is a bulge in the screen bezel at the major of the screen for the digital camera. Its resolution is 2340 x 1080px.

Usefully you can navigate the cellular phone with damp fingers and work it in extreme problems this kind of as cold, snow, and rain.

The AGM Glory has an spectacular four-lens digital camera with a 48MP autofocus Sony IMX582 lens, a 20MP Sony IMX350 infrared night lens, an F2.4 macro lens, and a thermal imaging digital camera. There are infrared LEDs and an LED flash that can see objects up to 20 metres away.

There is a 16MP entrance-going through digital camera that normally takes really excellent pictures. AGM also provides other insert-on characteristics this kind of as a thermal imaging digital camera, a really useful torch at the major of the machine, and a laser rangefinder up to 40m.

If you invest in the Glory SE foundation design, the night vision digital camera is replaced with a flashlight. If you invest in the Glory mid-selection design, the thermal imaging digital camera is replaced by a flashlight

The AGM Glory cellular phone runs Android eleven and has few excess OEM bloatware apps to gradual the cellular phone down. Only the IR digital camera application and the Zello application are additional to the usual Android eleven build.

The 3.5W speaker on the back of the cellular phone is really spectacular. You will surely in no way skip a cellular phone call when the media quantity is turned up to highest.

Songs is loud with very little distortion and the bass is really excellent for a cell machine.

The speaker has a excellent selection of sounds across all ranges. You won’t want to lug a transportable Bluetooth speaker all around with you when you journey – this cellular phone will give you adequate quantity (up to 110dB according to AGM) to maintain you likely.

I appreciate the thermal imaging digital camera. It will impression goods up to five metres away. There are two modes: human and industrial mode. These are a few quick snaps taken after darkish when I was ingesting a cup of espresso.

The human mode recognises temperatures from thirty to 45 levels C, and the industrial mode recognises temperatures ranging from -15 to 550 levels C. The resolution is excellent and obvious, and there are a myriad of settings to tweak to get the great shot.

Usefully the cellular phone supports Wi-Fi contacting. Wi-Fi contacting can be a boon when you are in a bad cell cellular phone reception location. In the US AGM supports the carrier T-cell, in the United kingdom all carriers are supported.

There are 3 solutions in the Glory selection, with unique value details and characteristics. Make certain you know which choice you want and which design you are buying. The AGM website is not obvious on which design has which characteristics. 

The AGM Glory SE is $399, the Glory is $519.99, and the major of the selection Glory Professional arrives in at $819.99. These are not inexpensive telephones – but the top quality of the components certainty helps make this cellular phone a quite excellent purchase certainly.

If you want laser selection getting, infrared, or thermal imaging, this cellular phone is surely really worth a look.
