If you thought Casio's G'zOne was beastly, meet the G-Shock Phone, a mammoth of a smartphone built to withstand just about any punishment.
The design of the G-Shock Phone is essentially a stretched out version of the G-Shock watch with the same bulky look and the four cornered buttons. Given its gigantic design, it's likely that this was designed for use in the wilderness, which is perfect for survival situations, so how tough is this bad boy? It can withstand a 10 foot drop, pressure resistant to 1.0 bar and it can be submerged underwater for up to 10 meters. The phone does run on Android software, so it does have all the perks of a smartphone.
The G-Shock Phone wouldn't be the ideal phone to have on a night out. But if you are going out in the wilderness, this is the phone to bring.
