Runbo X5 And X1: Rugged Android Smartphones With Walkie-Talkie Features

Runbo X5 And X1: Rugged Android Smartphones With Walkie-Talkie Features

Chad Buenaflor 15 Jan

The guys over at Engadget revealed two smartphone models that comes with a unique feature; it also moonlights as a walkie-talkie device. The story behind this is that they were approached by some Chinese guys over at CES who showed them their products , the Runbo X5, Runbo X3 and Runbo X1.

What’s even more amazing is that these models are designed to be rugged and come with an IP67 certification. The devices are waterproof and can withstand several drops off a concrete floor. The bad news, when the X5 was dropped a couple of times the screen broke. Company CEO Jemes Yang said that the large screen of the X5 which makes it closer to the edge is one contributing factor as to why it broke. He said that he will remedy this by increasing the rubber and plastic surrounding the glass. The other models, though, fared well in the drop test.

Runbo X1 Specs

  • IP67-certified feature phone
  • walkie-talkie 400 to 470MHz
  • 2-inch 176 × 144 display
  • 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera
  • laser pointer
  • quad-band GSM plus 800MHz CDMA
  • loud speaker

  • 0.3 MP front camera
  • loud speaker
  • removable 3,800mAh battery
  • walkie-talkie 400 to 470MHz up to 10km range

The Runbo X3 has the same specs as the X5 with the only difference being the display used which is a 3.5-inch 800 x 480 IPS panel due to the inclusion of a QWERTY keyboard
