The battery life on phones drives me nuts even if your not using them for anything abroad calls you'd struggle to get 12 hours
I find with an otterbox on it, the Iphone stands abuse pretty well. I had an issue with a cracked screen, but I think that was more the fault of the screen protector, it cracked and IMO took the screen with it! I dont bother with those protectors now and it seems to be lasting well.
2 issues I have are 1- very poor battery life and 2 - charging. Compared to other phones I have had, the charging port (and its relationship with the charger cable) seems very delicate and temperamental.
One cable might be okay, another - the slightest touch might stop or start it charging and another cable might not work if you kissed its ass.
Getting signal be a challenge if in the sticksI have a Samsung Galaxy XCover 3 and it's reasonably tough. It's supposed to be rated IP67 for dust and water, mostly it is but they forgot to design in covers for the charging port and the earphone socket. Water has gotten into the earphone socket a couple of times and makes the contact which means you can't hear it ringing or if you answer a call you can't hear the other person. Other than that I'm fond of it. I do have it in a flip open case though.

There's a pin hole on the side somewhere, stick a pin in to remove SIM card, replace and it might reset.The bloody thing has frozen this evening, no response from the touch screen, anybody know any trick to get it active....I'll be sticking the sim back in the old Samsung builders otherwise..

So whats the latest on tough phones?
Have an xcover 4 at the moment which has dust under the screen. Making it hard to use.
Less than impressed considering it's ratings!
What's about?
Iphone 6s with an otterbox defender cover gets my vote . Not water proof but has taken fair abuse and still perfect . Can suffer from dust and dampness making the screen hard to work but easy to sort by cleaning dismantling the cover .

Had a 2 or 3 before this and only ting letting it down was memory space. This one is pants in comparrison!The Xcover 4 mustn't be as good as the 3?
I have a 3 for the past 2 1/2 years and although it has had a few hiccups it has worked well enough for me though the earphone socket seems to be banjaxed meaning I can't use the radio function. It has had falls, been splashed with water and been in dusty conditions especially when I was on the readymix concrete truck. The battery still lasts two days even when connected to the bluetooth in the car and truck so all in all I'm happy enough with it. I do have it in a flip cover which probably has saved it a few times.
