As mobile phones have become steadily more advanced over the years, so too have they grown more fragile. Bigger screens become easier to crack, bulkier handsets become easier to drop and the abundance of delicate technology contained within their shells becomes even more susceptible to water, dirt and other environmental hazards.
For anyone who spends a lot of time in and around particularly hazardous environments, this can be a serious problem. You don't want to bring a $1,000 iPhone to the beach only to leave with a sand-encrusted paperweight that's going to cost hundreds of dollars to repair.
This is the kind of disaster Aspera hopes to avoid with phones like the R25t. Designed to survive all manner of rough-and-tumble situations including drops, spills and submersion in water, the Aspera R25t is a simple yet sturdy device well suited for tradespeople, manual labourers or anyone looking for a phone they won't need to cradle like a defenceless newborn.
