Another smartphone bites the dust

New cat is dead, waiting to hear back what they going to do.
Anyone using any decent rugged cases?

Always swore by otterbox but reckon mous is better ...my current pixel 6 has taken some serious stick and no issues.

Yeah they went tits up in December but not official till late last month, think they were going to focus on sat messaging

I've just ordered a peli case man bag for my phones and glasses. You only seam to be able to get good cases for £1000 phones.
I pushed the boat out this time and spent £180 on a phone. No way would I carry a £1000 fragile gadget about In my pocket.

So I’ve had my Nokia XR20 for around two years and has been a good phone to me and is still good but the last few days it’s not charged when I’ve plugged it in which is a sign it’s nearing the end apparently.
s
so what new, do I order up a XR21 and keep on trucking or is there anything else worth considering?

This Nokia is still going and working well but it's needing charging every day and by the end of some days it's running on fumes , thinking about replacing it, it done a good 3.5 years with me so won't complain, best phone I've had for sure. What else is out there, anyone got or seen anything worth a look ?

I've had a pixel 7a for about a year it's a decent phone, first time I've not had anything rugged it's in an otter box case and a screen protector but that's cracked.

Phone doesn't last a day though, android auto absolutely batters the battery even if not using an of the features or display.

Wouldn't go this way again though, probably look for another rugged phone but unsure on what ones are about now as either chinesium junk or companies gone bust

I am still on cheap Motorola's. In a cheap case. The only one I have broken got launched across the room. But they survive fine on site. They last all day on a charge no matter what you do and they run fine. The camera is not the greatest but for 150 quid I think it's hard to beat

For work purposes… still using one of these

When you leave the house in the morning and notice the phone battery symbol red
The usb port has been a bit dodgy of late, it's getting a bit loose and the plug slips out and doesn't charge through the night.
Really starting to make my mind up that I read a replacement.
Just don't know what's worth getting. I like this Nokia so might try the Nokia xr21 or has anyone got the CAT S75? Is it any good

Do not get the cat, bullet went bust last year so not sure on how any of the updates and security will be updated
I had the s75 and it was a decent phone although had a few niggles, luckily I sent it back just as they were going bust.
Motorola defy 2 is the same phone although unsure if Motorola will release it or keep it updated
Also avoid ulefone as mine was utter s**t, screen literally would fall out if you turned the phone over, also was useless as a phone, people could call me and have the dial tone but I wouldnt get the call or any notification
