Rugged smartphone puts a second screen and a 4W loudspeaker on its back - Yanko Design
Briefly

Rugged smartphones, once the leading option for durability, are facing stiff competition from mainstream devices with high resistance to damage. As manufacturers experiment with novel features like secondary screens and projectors, questions arise about the trade-offs in reliability and cost. The Ulefone Armor 30 Pro seeks to rekindle interest in the second screen concept by introducing a rear display for enhanced photography, but limitations like single-screen operation may deter users. While these advancements aim to diversify rugged phones, they reflect a deeper challenge in balancing innovation with traditional durability.
