Recently there have been a lot of buzz about the upcoming ultra-rugged No.1 X-men X1 smartphone. Today, we got a glimpse of the true resistant power of the phone, when the guys over at No.1 ran a car over the device.

As you can see in the video shown below, the No.1 X-men X1 actually survives a car being rolled over it. Thanks, to its hard outer shell, the phone comes out scratch less after this feat. The company had made big claims about the device back when it announced it, but this is a real world example to show the actual strength of the No.1 X1. In the video, like you can see, the touchscreen worked perfectly fine even after the car went over it. So, its safe to assume that the phone can take a beating and it’s built to survive harsh conditions.

The X1 is certified to be rugged. Its IP68 complaint and is resistant against 7 different kinds of damages. The phone is waterproof, dustproof , pressure proof, freezeproof, Shockproof, high-temperature proof and Scratch Proof. So, you don’t have to worry about damaging your phone in whatever harsh environment that you are going to expose it.

Even the specifications are mid-range making it different than other rugged phones which usually feature disappointing specs. On the front, there is a 5-inch display with HD resolution which has become a standard among mid-range phones these days. Inside, the phone houses a quad-core 1.3GHz MT6582 processor with 1GB RAM. At the rear is the 13MP camera sensor with LED flash while up front lies the 3MP shooter. To power all these specs, you have a very large 5,800 mAh battery inside, which the company claims provides standby times of over 50 days which is a pretty impressive claim for any smartphone. It comes with Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box. As for the network connectivity, it supports GSM 850/900/1800/1900m and WCDMA 850/900/2100 networks.

Clearly the specs, design as well as the 7-Proof nature of the phone makes it one of the best rugged smartphones that we have seen lately. We have not yet received an official price from the company but expect the phone to retail anywhere around $185.

Just last week No.1 released a set of images of the new No.1 X-men X1 ultra-rugged smartphone. However, at that time, apart from pictures, there was very little information about the specifications of the device. But today, the company has revealed some more details on the X1 and judging from the specs, the overall package definitely looks impressive.

On the front, there is a 5-inch 1280 x 720p HD display, which is big considering other rugged phones in the market. The large screen provides enough real estate to play games or even watch movies on the device. Inside, there is a MT6582 quad-core processor, which is now a standard among Chinese phones. On the back, you have a 13MP rear camera with LED flash while on the front, there is a 5MP shooter. The LED flash will especially come in handy when you are out at night and want to click some pictures. It can also be used as a flashlight, thanks to the various apps that you’ll find on the Android app store. To power all these specs, there is a large 5,800 mAh battery on board. Like we pointed out earlier, this battery should be enough for many days and you won’t have to worry about a charger when you are going out somewhere with this device.

The No.1 X-Men X1 is IP68 compliant, so you know that its ruggedness is certified. What’s more, the company claims that the phone is 7-proof! What they mean is that the X1 is resistant against seven different types of damages. So, the phone is waterproof, dustproof , pressure proof, freezeproof, Shockproof, high-temperature proof and Scratch Proof. The strong outer frame makes sure that your phone is protected from any of the above mentioned dangers.

Unlike some rugged smartphones, the No. X-Men X1 doesn’t look ugly too. You have strong design lines with a bright orange shade throughout the device which set its apart from the crowd. Its may be a bit bulky to look at, however, we feel the extra large 5,800 mAh battery easily compensates for the thickness.

Clearly, the X1 is equipped with all the features you need for outdoor use. We’ll update more details like pricing and availability soon.
