Another great feature for those with extreme jobs is the "enhanced GPS + GLONASS" built into the phone, which "shortens satellite signal detection by 20% and tracks your location more accurately." It's got a pretty standard 1,700 mAh battery, although Samsung calls it "massive."
Aside from its rugged charms, the phone doesn't have a whole lot going for it. Tech specs are lackluster, including:
- 4" WVGA Display
- 1GHz dual-core processor
- 1GB of RAM
- 5MP Camera
- Android 4.1
It's also not a very light or sleek device, coming in at 130.5 x 67.7 x 12 mm and weighing 148.5 grams.
No word on price or release date but we may know more at MWC next month.

I might get this phone if the price is right. I've been looking for a rugged waterproof phone to use as a second phone to take with me to the beach.
