Here’s a phone that’s a perfect match for your 4WD.
The new Land Rover Explore mobile is built to work in places other phones can’t reach.
Inspired by Land Rover’s rugged ‘go anywhere’ 4x4s it’s capable of operating and navigating in extreme conditions for two full days with the screen on constantly.
Battery life can be doubled by using an Adventure Pack that also boosts the reliability and accuracy of the GPS signal and improves the mapping capabilities.
The ultra-durable phone is powered by a super powerful 4000m Ah battery with a factory fitted screen protector and protective case than can survive underwater to 1.8 metres – including salt water.
It can cope with extreme temperatures from freezing cold to blistering heat, thermal shock, intense humidity and vibration exposure.
The full HD five inch screen can be controlled even when wet and with gloved hands and has instant access to weather information and mapping data, plus its own compass and SOS light making it the perfect phone for hiking, biking, skiing or off-road adventures.
The phone is fully compatible with all Land Rover in-car Apps and works as well in the city as it does in the great outdoors.
It is available with hardware packs, including an additional battery and bike mount.
Developed by Land Rover and the Bullitt Group the Explore phone with Adventure Pack costs £599 ($A1069) and will be revealed at the Mobile World Congress this week in Barcelona.
