I've been using a Xcover Pro until recently but it shut down and never rebooted so I'm looking for a new rugged phone.

Anyone has any recommendations? Looking online is a jungle of tier lists with dubious recommendations but it seems many recommend a brand called Ulefone, is it a good brand or something to stay away from?

Would prefer to use the distro that comes with the phone.

Thanks in advance

There's the Nokia XR Phones https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_us/nokia-xr-21

My girlfriend has one and it seems to work fine

Oh man, they almost had me depending on camera quality, but how old is that processor?

Announced October 2021, so only around year or two old. Looks like it was a decent midrange when it came out. People on reddit say "the 695 is about the same speed as a 835"

I'm happy that Nokia is trying again to defend its title and live up to the 3310 memes

That looks interesting! Thanks!

I've had two models of Nokia phones and the USC C pretty had failed on both. Anecdotal but I won't but another Nokia. Shame because I liked the hardware and software experience.
