Samsung XCover Pro 6. Because it's the only phone out there with a removable battery on the fly. Takes me 15 seconds to pop in my second fully charged battery. Because I'm ADD and constantly forget to charge my phone. When I'm out the door about to drive my 55 mile commute to work I want a fully charged battery and my car won't charge the battery properly.
Oh, and it's INDESTRUCTIBLE. I fell with the phone in my right hand, landed my full 200 lb on my hand, phone back against the bike path asphalt, phone back sliding on asphalt for 2 feet with my full fallen 200 lb landing only on the phone. I ask friends to point out the scratch on the case from the fall, and they can't until I point it out to them.
Huh, interesting choice. I think a normal non-rugged phone with a case is still a better option. Power banks > swappable batteries in my opinion. I always put a powerbank in my pocket and whenever I'm not using it, I just connect it to my powerbank and leave both in my pocket, so I never have low battery on my phone and I have zero downtime. Speaking of downtime, make sure you disable automatic updates on your phone, I read a news story about someone needing to make an emergency call and found out their phone was automatically updating. Best time to update is when you are certain that there wouldn't be an emergency for the duration of the update. Preferrably when you are near family members so you can use their phone if there's an emergency.
Anyways, isn't the Xcover for corporation only? How did you manage to buy it for personal use?
