what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out the latest rugged device from AGM now that I have here today it's called the G2 guardian and
this is in fact the most expensive rugged device that I got to try up until now so depending on
your location you're gonna have to spend somewhere around a thousand dollars to get this phone so
definitely not a cheap phone so why is this phone so expensive well a big part of it has to do the
long range thermal monarchular module that we have on the back of the device to give you an
example if you check out on Amazon a device like this you're not gonna find a decent one for under
five or six hundred dollars so this is a big part why this phone is so expensive so you can
use this phone in a lot of situations in a lot of conditions so for example you could use this
phone for hunting because you can see the heat signature of whatever animal you may be looking
for you can use this for search and rescue you can use this in construction and a bunch of other
uses as well now of course not everyone will be using a feature like this but for the people that
do this could come in super handy so that is why this phone is so expensive of course this phone
is also waterproof shock proof and also dust proof so you can take this one to the beach
for example you can go swimming with it you can have it in sand and nothing will happen to it
so probably one of the most advanced rugged device available on the market the device also has an 108
megapixel main camera on the back here we have a 2 megapixel macro camera and then we have a 20
megapixel infrared night vision camera so with this camera you can take pictures in complete
darkness so this is not like the night mode that you get on a lot of smartphones these days this is
night vision um 100 so we have infrared LEDs there and you can take pictures in complete the darkness
now these are some examples of pictures that I took that 108 megapixel sensor so yes if you
do use the full resolution of that the main camera you can definitely zoom in a lot on those pictures
and you're not gonna be losing quality now in the center here we also have a speaker this is one of
the loudest speakers that I heard on any mobile phone I'm gonna say now I can show you a quick
um sample of video so you can hear how loud The Speaker gets but I don't think my microphone will
be able to capture that that well but let me play a short recording just so you can
hear how good this speaker on the back sounds like to another day not giving up again [Music]
as you've noticed by now this is also a pretty thick device of course that has a lot to do that
thermal imaging sensor that we have on the back that we have to do the 7000 milliamp hour battery
that's inside the device and of course that speaker that's on the back so yes this is a
thick device and it waits about 405 grams so definitely not the lightest phone out there
taking a quick look at the device so we do have a lot of plastic rubberized plastic everywhere
so the corners here have more material so if the phone would be dropped on a corner nothing
should happen to it at the top here we have a flash like the flashlight is pretty bright and
as well on the right hand side here we have the volume buttons and the power button the
power button is also fingerprint scanner and as a fingerprint scanner it does work pretty good
so it takes half a second from the time on you touch it for the phone to unlock on the other
side of the device we have the SIM card and Slot so this device can take two SIM cards or
a SIM card and an SSD card and then we have a customizable and button right there so you can
make that button do pretty much anything you want at the bottom here we have a little rubber flap
that will cover the USBC charging port and the 3.5 mil audio jack so yes you can connect some
headphones to this device and you can listen to music without some headphones and so on something
that we don't typically see with a lot of phones these days talking about that USBC charging port
so the device supports 18 Watt and charging and yes there is a charger that comes in the
box with it moving on to the screen so this is a 6.58 inches IPS panel that has a resolution
of 1080P and a refresh rate of 120 hertz so yes scrolling up scrolling down playing games does
feel smoother than other rugged devices that I got to throw in the past that had a refresh rate of
60 hertz so good thing to see on a rugged device now the brightness of the screen is not mentioned
anywhere on the manufacturer's website if I would be to guess the brightness is around five to seven
hundred nits so of course if you're using the phone indoors you're gonna be able to see it
really well and you can still see Outdoors but this is not as bright as the screen that you'd get
on an iPhone or a Galaxy device and I'm talking about the top of the line for the iPhone of course
some the Galaxy devices how about performance well first of all the device runs Android 12 and on
top of that Android 12 we have a very light skin it's very close to stock Android so there are no
useless apps that can't be installed so everything does run quite smooth on this device now inside
this device we have the Qualcomm 6490 chipset and I'm sure that many of you haven't heard of that
before well that's kind of comparable or maybe even a bit better with the Snapdragon 778 I'm
gonna say that's an also pair to 12 gigs of RAM and the device has 256 gigs of internal storage
and if you do run the antutu Benchmark on this device you're gonna get a score of just under 600
000. so you already know that you're looking at a pretty powerful device and pretty much all the
applications that you're gonna be using on it and all work really good I've also done some gaming I
was curious to see how well that um chipset does for gaming and I was surprised to see how well
it performs so probably the most powerful the most fluid rugged device that I got to try up
until now the phone also supports 5G connectivity even though my carrier doesn't um support 5G so
I was not able to test that out there is an NFC chip inside it so you can make payments so that
I try the GPS unit inside it and it takes about a second to find your location and once it finds
your location it doesn't seem to lose it and we do have a variety of sensors available as well so
definitely the main selling point for this device will be the long range thermal monocular module
that we have on the back here so for example I can point this at the camera and I can figure
out what temperature different parts of my camera has now as I said this will be used for hunting
because you can see the animals from their heat signature you can use it in construction for an
example you can use it it in some rescue missions and so on now I feel that someone like me may not
necessarily use this phone to its full potential because when am I gonna use this feature kind of
Never So this phone is aimed at those people that will actually use a feature like this because
well this is more than a phone that you can play games with this is more of a tool I'm gonna say so
what do you guys think of a phone like this would you ever buy something like this would you use a
feature like this definitely leave a comment down below and let me know on your thoughts so there
you have it this is the AGM G2 Guardian thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
