Rugged smartphones are not only synonymous with durability, but they should also serve as users’ safety guardians and efficient assistants in extreme environments. As a professional brand renowned for its ‘innovation’ and ‘cost-effectiveness’ in the rugged phone market, OSCAL has consistently focused on user needs, deeply understanding the real challenges faced by outdoor enthusiasts and professionals.
Committed to breaking the functional limitations of traditional rugged devices, OSCAL is set to launch its new addition to the PILOT series, dubbed PILOT 1. From features leaked so far, this rugged smartphone might be the world’s 1st rugged phone that is equipped with the loudest 5W 138dB stereo speaker and ultra-bright dual LED flashlights, as well as AI-powered functions.
With comfort and safety at its core, PILOT 1 is said to redefine the rugged lifestyle experience, offering users a reliable and intelligent new experience in complex environments.
Double the Comfort and Safety, Driven by Scenario-based Thinking
Outdoor enthusiasts and professionals demand more than just functionality from their devices—they need something “stronger and more reliable.” Traditional users often encounter issues such as insufficient volume on regular rugged phones, making it difficult to convey critical information in noisy environments.
Additionally, traditional flashlights on smartphones often lack the brightness and range needed for nighttime work or emergency situations. Addressing these problems, OSCAL has pushed the limits of functionality with the PILOT 1, which is equipped with the world’s loudest 5W 138dB stereo speakers.
The exceptional sound quality offers an immersive music experience indoors and vibrant sound effects to enhance the enjoyment of camping, helping users relax. With a maximum volume of 138dB, the PILOT 1 ensures clear audio transmission even in noisy construction sites, and in extreme situations like post-disaster rescues or distress calls in remote areas, it can emit a loud distress signal, creating opportunities to conserve energy and extend rescue time.
It can also simulate gunshots or the sounds of animals like lions and tigers to deter nearby dangerous wildlife, serving as a second layer of protection to ensure user safety in the outdoors.
To address safety challenges in the dark, the PILOT 1 will be fitted with a super-bright dual-beam LED flashlight that offers both light modes for daily illumination and SOS mode in case of emergency use.
With 170 lumens of brightness and a range of 18 meters, it can light the user’s path, guiding them in the right direction, and emit a strong distress signal in emergencies, revealed by a reliable tipster whether it’s a night-time adventure or an unforeseen crisis, the PILOT 1 gears up to be a truly reliable guardian of safety. With its “double comfort, double safety” philosophy, OSCAL PILOT 1 enhances the tough outdoor lifestyle experience for users.
