This rugged phone with an alien-inspired design is one of a kind and has won a European Good Design Award. The company claims it will be equipped with the best camera systems ever seen on a rugged phone. The professional-grade thermal camera will be flanked on both sides by a main camera with sensor Sony IMX582 camera and a night vision camera with sensor Sony IMX350 da 20 MP.
