We have all heard of the Land Rover more than once. Every time a beautiful SUV appears before our eyes, which many dream of. In addition, the car company has been on the market for a long time and has achieved tremendous success in its niche. For almost 70 years, the British have been creating masterpieces of the automotive industry. But what does the Land Rover, the telephone, have to do with it? He collected a few reviews, but still became popular in a narrow circle.
Feature
If these phones have become so popular, maybe they have some special feature. At first glance, the device does not look perfect, stylish and expensive. When you look at the models of this line, the phones of 2006 come to mind. Then, too, one could meet huge push-button devices of fanciful shapes and unusual colors.
So how can these models attract attention now? After all, there are a huge number of beautiful and sophisticated smartphones on the market now. It turns out that the phone manufacturer LandRover - created a truly indestructible gadget.
So, the main feature of a smartphone is its security. Each phone of the company is not only shockproof, it is also waterproof and designed for use by real thrill-seekers. In addition, Land Rover's shockproof phone is also a powerful gadget. Some models have up to 8 processor cores, as well as a well-designed system.
Variety
Of course, the phones of this brand cannot boast of a huge variety of models. However, among them there are real flagships that are popular. For example, a Land Rover X8 phone or two powerful models - A8 and A9.
There are expensive and budget models. For example, Land Rover S6 can be bought for only 4-5 thousand rubles. Also, in addition to the fact that the company presents long-forgotten push-button phones, Land Rover swung at the return of the previously popular "clamshells", or flips. So here you can include the popular model X9.
Indestructible
The first in our review will be a device that received eight cores for its filling. The Land Rover X8 phone was met with skepticism. Before that, users got acquainted with the A9 model, which promised 8 cores to everyone, but testing showed that there were half as many of them.
Therefore, when the Chinese again loudly announced the eight cores, no one expected that the promises would come true. But it so happened that the company did not deceive. The device really works on 8 cores and confirms its name.
Appearance
Talking about the appearance of the modelX8, it turns out to affect almost all the devices of this Chinese company. The fact is that the style can be traced in all models. This one also turned out to be stylish, original and quite versatile. Of course, such a whopper cannot be put in a woman's handbag. And not because it won't fit - it's just that it will be completely out of place there.
But in the glove box, on the "torpedo" or in men's jeans, this phone is the place. Moreover, it looks quite good with both casual clothes and business suits. He again received a black and yellow scale. To some, of course, it seems too pretentious, but the overall impression is quite pleasant.
Protection at the highest level

Thanks to her, he is not afraid of shock, will survive falls, temperature changes, various pressure changes, vibrations and even interaction with chemicals.

Structurally, the phone consists of three parts, like its previousfellow. Panels are attached to the hardware stuffing in front and behind, which are held by 12 screws. The battery cannot be removed, but it is possible to get to the SIM and memory card compartment. The headphone and charging jacks are covered with a durable rubber plug for safety and water resistance.
Features
It's worth saying that this Land Rover phone, whose price is about 25 thousand rubles, also has quite convincing technical characteristics. For all its security, we should not forget about the eight cores that make it a competitive smartphone.
The model is powered by Mediatek MT6592 chipset. The cores are clocked at 1.7 GHz. RAM here is 2 GB, which is a fairly standard indicator. The internal memory is only 16 GB. But it can be expanded with a memory card. Such characteristics allow you to run even quite demanding games. The phone can play 4K videos.
A fairly powerful 3800 mAh battery has also been prepared for this device. Of course, his brothers have higher performance, but for a 4.7-inch screen, it will be enough for a long time. As practice shows, the user can charge the smartphone every 2-3 days.

Land Rover X9
It is worth saying a few words about this model. Despite the fact that it is a continuation of the previous generation, it no longer has 8 cores. There are only 4 here, but they work together with a Qualcomm processor. The memory sizes remained unchanged. The display size has changed to 5 inches. The battery has also changed. Despite the increased screen size, it has become 200 mAh smaller, which, of course, will negatively affect device activity.

Protective properties remain the same. Although the company reinsured itself in case of failure, as indicated by those same rubber plugs. Otherwise, the phone cannot be drowned, smashed, crushed or dissolved in acid.
Generosity
In general, the Land Rover X9 is a very generous phone. This is especially true for the flip version. The fact is that two batteries are available to the buyer, the capacity of which is 16800 mAh. Now it is difficult to say whether this is a real volume, nevertheless, the manufacturer claims just such indicators. Also new is the delivery of headphones. So, the search for an adapter will no longer be a problem.

Otherwise, the Land Rover Flip 8 and 9 modifications have common features. Both devices have two screens. The outer serves forinforming, internal - sensory, working. The phone can work with two SIM cards. There is only one camera here, rather weak - only 3 megapixels. Among other things, there are other functions that you will need for daily use.
