Hotwav W10: the rugged smartphone with a 15,000 mAh battery

The society hotwav offers armored smartphones in its catalog, the famous “rugged” category which offers a non-slip coating, a Gorilla Glass screen and above all shockproof properties with IP68 certification (dust and water resistance). And that’s not all since the device is also IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certified. The first means that the smartphone withstands high-pressure steam cleaning and the second is military certification for extreme conditions.

An armored device that has it under the hood!

These very practical devices on construction sites, on hikes or for athletes are less and less “secondary” smartphones since they offer more and more interesting features. This Hotwav W10 has enough options to claim a #1 smartphone spot in your pocket. It is a mobile under Android 12 with a MediaTek MT6731 processor supported by 4 GB of RAM and comprising 32 GB of storage (expandable via micro SD card). On the screen side, we are dealing with a 6.53-inch HD + panel (16.6 cm diagonal). The photo part is not left out with a 13 megapixel main module and a 5 MP front sensor. You can of course take pictures and videos underwater. As it is an adventurer smartphone, it has a GPS chip, but also Glonass (Russian), Galileo (EU) and Beidu (Chinese). It is also compatible with dual band WiFi and Bluetooth 5. A practical physical fingerprint reader is located on the back to avoid recognition errors when your hands are wet.

A battery that is 3 times the standard size!

Speaking of charging, we almost forgot to mention its most impressive feature: its 15,000 mAh battery. No, it’s not a typo: fifteen thousand milliamps per hour! When we know that the largest batteries from well-established manufacturers rarely exceed 6000 mAh, we let you imagine the crazy endurance. Count 8 days without having to plug it in, 40 hours in communication and 50 days in stand-by.

Available in grey/orange, the device will be sold at AliExpress at $99 (around €92) from June 28, 2022 for a period of 5 days. After this time, the price will be $129 (€120).
