AGM is a newcomer to the international markets with
a simple mission — build rugged phones that actually look good. After
introducing the flagship AGM X3 early this year, the company is gearing up to
close out 2019 with an affordable and durable new phone — the AGM M5.
The M5 is a feature phone running on Android Go.
That’s Google’s super-light version of Android, capable of running basic apps
on low-power hardware. In turn, this allows the phone to draw very little
energy, so the M5’s removable battery can last you for days. On the inside, the
phone hums with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210, coupled with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of
storage. It keeps you connected with a high-speed 4G LTE modem.
On the outside, its rugged shell has IP 68
certification against any water or dust damage and MIL-STD 810G rating meaning
it’ll be safe and sound after a violent bump. The chassis is still designed
with stylish accents to give it some high-tier tech looks.
AGM has been expanding its reach in order to be able
to serve customers and provide support globally. Notably, Data Select is a
partner in the UK, B2X is a representative across Europe, and Wisetech — in
Russia. The company's products cover a wide range of price tiers —from the
entry-level M5 here to the flagship AGM X3. Not only is the latter powered by
the top-tier Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, it also has screaming JBL
speakers on the inside, thanks to an ongoing partnership between the two
companies.
In the future, AGM plans to continue to specialize
in hard-shell phones, expanding its reach and portfolio further. Stay tuned for
MWC 2020, where the company will show its upcoming product line. That will
include a number of 5G ruggedized phones for the professionals who don't want
to compromize in speed and performance when choosing a durable phone.
