I was once so mesmerized by the man of steel strength of the Doogee phone that I became so obsessed with watching so many YouTube videos of different attempts to break the phone. Well! None of the YouTubers had the kryptonite capable of doing the damage to this Superman carved into a phone.
Do not think I am exaggerating. Some phones are so super strong that they could be used as a weapon to break someone’s head if care isn’t taken. If you are a fan of such rigidity and rugged device feel or you haven’t ever heard of such wonders, get ready as we tell you about phones that have Marvel super powers and DC super strength.
Oukitel
Oukitel; an internet company founded in Shenzhen, China, is a smartphone and smart device manufacturer, with the aim of creating quality, affordable phones for the masses.
One thing with very affordable products is that they might not possess tremendous features that can compete with the best or top smartphones in the world, but they still ramp up some great qualities besides the few average features they possess. Do not forget that the aim is to create a device that most people can afford, starting at $60 USD and above. Quite cheap, isn’t it?
Oukitel’s top qualities are its durability, battery life and affordability. It could be very hard finding budget phones with these qualities for the prices Oukitel offers.

Why should a phone possess an 8000mAh battery when I am not on a trip around the world? That’s a phone with the ability to last for days or times two the normal time range of our daily average phones, if not more.
Doogee
Shenzhen is definitely the Chinese capital of smartphones, with the Doogee manufacturers also having their headquarters located there, and many more. Doogee was established in 2013, in Spain.

They are also good at producing some durable phones, but focus more on their features. They also come with great battery life and very affordable prices.
You seem to wonder why Chinese products can be quite cheap or affordable. With a population of over 1 billion, the necessity to create quality products for all the different financial status of the nation is key, and the fact that China has very low labor costs, manufacturers tend to take this as an advantage to build products there.
Umidigi are quite quality phones that release some of the best Android 10 mid-range phones with top specifications. So, besides it having some durability, though not compared to most on this list, it also gives you all you need in a great phone.

Elephone
With a name like Elephone that has probably never been heard before, you might wonder what unpopular brands can offer. It is very untrue to think this brand is unpopular. It is generally known for its low price tag and quality features. Though not being among the top brands would leave some cons, like you not being able to upgrade the Android version that comes with it, therefore its system upgrade is tagged poor.
I won’t rank these phones as one of the most durable compared to others on this list, but will commend it for their low price tag of around $120 USD. Even with its 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, it is just $189.99 USD, a price you are likely not to find anywhere else.

Caterpillar
This is the most rugged phone on Planet Earth. It’s like the combination of Darkseid and Galactus against every other durable phone like the Doogee, which is like a superman to me. Using these phones and getting them broken is like an achievement worth celebrating. Not that it isn’t possible; it is just too durable to have broken pieces as rampant as any other phone.
With personal reviews, cracking the screen of this phone can take 2 years despite working in a construction company, and the phone might have to fall from a height of above 18 ft. with the screen facing the concrete ground.
What do you expect when a construction machinery and equipment company, the popular Caterpillar brands, dives into phone making? You should definitely expect the rigidity and strength of caterpillars. CAT Smartphones are manufactured by the Bullitt Group under the Caterpillar Inc. license, with their first phone named “Cat B25” released in 2013.
It is a fact that the feel of a CAT phone would show its toughness, coming with a thick alumininum frame embedded in a black plastic. It is quite a product for durability, for sure.

With these top durable phones, your options for durability are well served.
