Speaking on protection, the Umidigi Bison GT bear an IP68 & IP69k rating for water and dust resistance. Umidigi claims this device can survive in a 1.5m of water for 30 minutes and can also survive a drop from a height of 1.5m, which is supported by reinforced cushions at the edges.
Umidigi also gracefully featured dual customizable buttons on the sides of this Android phone, which could help in times where getting into the software for navigation isn’t really convenient. The provisions made on adaptation to tough terrains, pretty much earns the Bison GT an MIL-STD-810G rating which makes it military grade.
