Chinese company [Doogee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doogee-s100) has launched an exceptionally durable and rugged smartphone that is designed to combine military-grade durability with a monstrously powerful battery, all in a package that is surprisingly affordable.

The 'S89 Pro' offers IP68 and IP69K protection against water and dust, and also meets MIL-STD-810H standards for ruggedness, which means it can withstand everything from pressure spray and 30 minutes of submersion to drops onto hard surfaces from a height of 1.5 meters, not to mention extreme weather and altitudes.

Not only is this a phenomenally rugged smartphone, it's also unbelievably powerful, thanks to the inclusion of a [12,000-mAh battery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doogee-s119) that offers multiple days' worth of power

Offering a range of other features that include a triply camera array and AI camera setup, the 'S89 Pro' is a veritable steal at $319.
