Fossibot F112 Pro 5G, a rugged and powerful smartphone

When we think of rugged smartphones, the first thing that comes to mind is strength and durability. But what happens when we add 5G connectivity and powerful hardware to that? That's where the Fossibot F112 Pro 5G, a device designed for those who need a phone that can handle anything without sacrificing decent performance. Let's take a closer look at it.

Design and construction: made to last

El Fossibot F112 Pro 5G It is not a conventional terminal and that is noticeable as soon as you hold it in your hand. Its robust construction, with certifications IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H, makes it a beast that survives drops, water, dust and extreme temperatures without batting an eyelid.

• Dimensions: 83,57 x 181,89 x 13,3 mm
• Shot put: 320 grams

Yes, you read that right, it weighs more than 300 grams. But of course, we're not here looking for thinness and lightness, but a mobile phone that can be used in extreme conditionsIts rubber and aluminum coated body gives it enviable strength. It also has a high-power flashlight on the back, perfect for adventurers and workers.

Design Fossibot F112 Pro 5G is designed to make it easier to grip with gloves, with large physical buttons and a roughened side that prevents the phone from slipping. It also includes a configurable button, ideal for quick access to functions such as the flashlight, camera or emergency calls.

Additionally, the rear has additional corner reinforcements, which increases its impact resistance. This makes it a reliable device for construction workers, extreme athletes and any user looking for a durable and functional terminal in harsh environments.

Screen: Functional, no frills

The 6,58 inch panel IPS LCD with FHD+ resolution (1080×2408 pixels) and refresh rate of 120Hz It's more than enough for a phone of this type. Outdoor visibility is decent, although perhaps an AMOLED panel would have been an interesting addition to improve contrasts and energy consumption.

• Screen: 6,88 inches
• Litigation, Arbitration: 1080×2408 pixels HD+
• Refresh rate: 120 Hz
• Protection: Reinforced impact-resistant glass

The maximum brightness is 500 nits, which is enough for outdoor use, although it can fall short in direct sunlight. It also has a gloves mode which improves tactile sensitivity, a key detail for hostile work environments.

We also find a certified blue light reduction, which helps reduce eye fatigue during prolonged use, a plus if we spend many hours using the device in demanding environments.

Technical characteristics

Under the hood we find the MediaTek Dimensity 6835 with 6nm technology, a mid-range processor that, accompanied by 8GB RAM (virtually expandable up to 24GB) y 256GB UFS 2.2 storage, allows us to run applications without problems. It is not a gaming phone, but it responds well in everyday use and in moderately demanding games.

• Processor: MediaTek Dimension 6835
• RAM: 8GB (virtual up to 24GB)
• Storage: 256GB UFS 2.2 up to 1TB with microSD card
• Operating System: Android 13

Performance during everyday tasks is smooth, and software optimization helps maintain stability during extended use. However, without advanced cooling, it can get warm during demanding tasks such as high-resolution video recording or heavy gaming.

Another interesting detail is the possibility of customizing physical buttons to execute shortcuts, which facilitates interaction in environments where the touch screen is not the most practical option.

Battery that is not missing

If something stands out in this Fossibot F112 Pro 5G, it is its 7.150mAh battery with fast charge of 33wWith this ability, we can be several days without charging it, making it ideal for field work, excursions or situations where there is no access to power outlets. It also supports reverse charging, so we can use it as a power bank.

• Battery: 10.600 mAh
• Quick charge: 33W
• Reverse charge: Yes

In real tests, the device can reach up to 3 days of autonomy with moderate use and more than 10 hours of active screen in intensive use. Full charge takes about 2,5 hours, which is reasonable for a battery of this capacity.

Despite its massive battery, its software includes smart power-saving options, allowing you to extend the battery life when you don't have immediate access to a charging source.

Cameras: Sufficient and no frills

The photography section of rugged phones is not usually their strong point, and this is the norm. The configuration is basic, but it works in good lighting conditions.

• Main camera: 50MP
• Secondary camera: 5MP
• Frontal camera: 16MP

The inclusion of a camera of night vision This is a nice plus for those who need to take photos in low-light environments, such as security guards or campers. However, the main sensor doesn't excel in detail or dynamic range, so don't expect miracles.

Video recording reaches 1080p to 30fps, with acceptable stabilization but without OIS. In photography, HDR can significantly improve results in backlighting.
