Astro A200 RX 0 B

The model with the A200 RX index from the Astro brand is a typical push-button “dialer” with protection against physical influences, as well as dust and water according to the IP67 standard. This means that the phone can be kept under water (at a depth of up to 1 m) for half an hour without consequences.

tight fit

When in contact with liquids, it is desirable to control the tightness of the rubber plugs and the back cover, under which the battery compartment and a slot for a microSD memory card with a capacity of up to 16 GB are hidden. The cover is screwed to the body with a screw connection using a supplied screwdriver or an ordinary coin. In addition, “out of the box” the model is equipped with a strap with a carabiner and a built-in compass.

2 inch display

The brutal-looking case is made of polycarbonate. Along the perimeter, it is diluted with metal and rubber inserts, and above the screen there is a protective ledge that takes the hit when the device falls. The display itself does not have outstanding characteristics — its diagonal is 2 "and the resolution is 176x220 pixels. In bright sunlight, the maximum brightness level may not be enough for comfortable reading information. There are 5 manual brightness gradations available in total.

Responsive keys

The lower part of the case is occupied by large and responsive mechanical keys. They are spaced from one another at a comfortable distance to enable blind input. The buttons are easy to operate even when wearing thick gloves. There is also a 2-megapixel camera without autofocus in the phone's arsenal, but it performs more of a decorative function.

Always in touch

Many users note the lack of support for 3G networks and raw software firmware, in particular, it is not possible to add a number from the call log to an existing contact. In contrast to the above, the device is praised for its long battery life — on a single charge of a 2750 mAh battery, it functions for about 1-2 weeks. The phone will be an excellent solution for tourists, hunters and fishermen, as well as lovers of active pastime. Withstanding most hardships, it will provide high-quality signal reception in any conditions.
