Certified to the Highest Standards, NUU Mobile’s R1 Phone is Ready for the Rugged Life
The brand-new R1 budget smartphone carries an IP68 certification, the highest level of ruggedness testing available to smartphones.
In controlled environment tests, the R1 successfully withstood immersion in nearly five feet of water for up to 30 minutes. That doesn’t mean you can swim with your R1, but if you drop yourphone in the lake and then snag it back quickly it won’t be ruined.
The R1 also can withstand whatever weather conditions you may find yourself in. Whether it’s freezing cold or scorching hot, it works smoothly at temperatures ranging from -22°F (-30°C) to 140°F (60°C).
The R1 has been tested against unwanted penetration by wires, screws and tools. In testing, the R1 was exposed to dust for eight hours and experienced no penetration. Specifically, the phone’s IP 68 standards feature:
- Solid protection. The first digit in the IP certification number, 6, refers to level of protection the device exhibits against solid obstructions. Level 6, the strongest solid protection available, means the device offers “protection from contact with dust.”
- Moisture protection. The second figure in the certification, 8, is the highest level of moisture protection awarded by the commission. The 8 means the device affords “protection from immersion in water with a depth of more than 1 meter.” One meter = 3.3 feet.
The military-style testing also examined the R1 for resistance to vibration, shock and extreme temperatures. The rugged R1 phone passed all the commission’s tests with flying colors.
