ZDNET’s July 2026 refresh dropped the OnePlus 15 and AGM G1 Glory from its best rugged phones list because they are no longer available, while also revising purchase links and prices.
Oukitel’s WP210 remains the top overall pick, with ZDNET highlighting its 8,800mAh battery, 108MP main camera and sub-$400 value despite the comparison table listing it at $450.
Other leading picks span different priorities: the 22,000mAh Doogee V Max Pro for battery life, Samsung’s Galaxy XCover 7 Pro for a mainstream-style experience, and the $150 AGM H6 for budget buyers.
Google’s $1,499 Pixel 10 Pro Fold stays on the list as the most durable foldable, showing ZDNET’s broader definition of ruggedness beyond traditional heavy-duty field phones.
