Recently, not just fancy phones are in vogue, but devices designed for those who lead an active, hectic lifestyle, who consider extreme sports and constant forays into nature the norm. For such people, the Land Rover a9 smartphone was released, which retained the best technical and design traditions of its predecessor, the eighth model, and uses a more modern filling than the eight. It is this new, improved model that we will consider today.
New model design and performance
We will submit information about the Land Rover a9 in comparison with its predecessor. The first thing worth noting is the desire to keep up with the trends of modern fashion. For this reason, the display diagonal was increased to 4.3 inches. Although this value is far from being the most outstanding, it is not lagging behind either. Looking at the declared characteristics, we can state a very important fact: by doubling the number of cores (from two to four) and the amount of RAM up to 1 GB, the phone's performance was exactly doubled.
Developing a secure smartphone Land Rover a9, the designers have slightly changed the design of the front panel. The mechanical buttons that were used to navigate through the menu were removed from it. On the one hand, it turned out to be a more pleasant design for visual perception, on the other hand, an unfortunate omission. But the appearance has become more attractive from this decision.
Battery, camera, NFC and GPS
The power reserve of the previous model turned out to be quite enough for the new one, so the manufacturers did not change anything. So there was a capacity of 3000 mAh. There is also a specific, although not yet very relevant change: NFC was built into the Land Rover a9 smartphone, a modern short-range communication module that allows you to open doors and pay for public transport using your phone. It is clear that for the full functioning of the module, it is necessary to have a counterpart - terminals that would understand NFC, as well as doors with electronic locks and built-in NFC tags.
There's not much to say about the camera. The image quality is quite in line with current market conditions and satisfies most users. Module resolution - 8 megapixels. The GPS function, which has become standard for all modern devices, is fully implemented and can work independently even in places where high-quality Internet and communication cannot be provided.
Phone protection level
The level of protection of the Land Rover a9 we are considering has a high degree (IP-68) and helps to cope well with the effects of water and dust. This device behaves quite decently even in water, calmly withstands immersion init to a depth of one meter and a duration of up to 30 minutes. But these clear and precise designations of time and depth must be strictly adhered to, which is caused by very fragile materials that protect microphones and speakers from moisture.
The thinnest membranes stretch when exposed to excessive water pressure for a long time and can break, thus flooding and damaging the electronic microcircuits of the device. In all other places where moisture can get in, double special gaskets are installed. It turns out that the plug of the charging and headphone jacks, the battery cover, the body halves are provided with two gaskets at once for reliability. Basically, the consumer gets an upgraded smartphone that is a hit in the security phone market.
Some device specifications
We present for consideration some of its characteristics, not all, but the main ones. The Land rover a9 phone supports all communication standards, except for LTE, two SIM cards (3G + GSM), withstands falling onto concrete from a height of more than 2-2.5 meters. Temperature conditions - from -20 degrees to +50. It has an IPS display with a resolution of 960x540.

According to customer reviews, this model has two main drawbacks: a decrease in the level of dust and moisture resistance and the absence of mechanical buttons. The cost of a smartphone is about 15,000 rubles.
