Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro

In October 2012, Samsung and AT&T announced the Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro, a successor to the Rugby Smart that includes similar durability and also ships with a scratch-resistant screen, something its previous model lacked. This rugged smartphone has passed military specification tests, like surviving blowing rain and sand, high humidity, and thermal shock.
