AGM is a brand known for the manufacture of rugged phones. That has n’t changed as the company has released its latest smartphone dubbed AGM H2. The device keeps up with the brand’s identity as it comes with a rugged design and IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating.
In terms of the specs, the AGM H2 is equipped with a 5.7-inch display with an HD+ resolution of 720×1440 pixels. The front design of the H2 is quite unique. It has a sizeable bezel at the top which houses the earpiece and selfie camera. At the bottom, there is a large front blasting speaker said to have a maximum sound level of 106db with superb sound quality. The phone also has what looks like a dedicated Google Assistant button at the left side of the display with a red accent. The power button and volume rockers are on the right side.
The rugged smartphone is powered by Unisoc’s (formerly Spreadtrum) Tiger T310 chipset. The processor was announced in April with a quad-core architecture. As a reminder, the Tiger T310 has 1 x Cortex-A75 core paired with 3 x Cortex-A55 cores in a single cluster. It is able to do this as a result of Arm’s DynamIQ Architecture which replaces its big.LITTLE architecture and allows you to combine a big and LITTLE core in the same cluster. This is the first quad-core LTE chipset in the world based on the DynamIQ architecture.

One of the key advantages of this architecture is that there can be an increase in performance without an increase in power consumption. When it comes to benchmarks, Unisoc says the 12nm TSMC-built Tiger T310 has a 120% improvement in performance over other quad-core processors in single-core tests and a 20% improvement in performance in multi-core tests. The chipset propelled the H2 to achieve an AnTuTu score of 144263 points, same level with the Snapdragon 670 mid-range chipset.
On the camera end, the AGM H2 packs a single 8MP sensor at the front and a single 13MP camera sensor at the rear. The phone gets its juice from an impressive 4400mAh battery said to a standby time of up to 300 hours.
The phone comes with an affordable 699 yuan ($99) price tag but details of its availability are scanty.
