There aren't many phones specifically designed to withstand extreme conditions. Phones are made of better and more durable material but they are just as delicate is ever. For some a phone made to last may be a little excessive but for anyone who lives a very active lifestyle might need a phone that is very durable. The Casio Exilim C721 is a phone built to last. Casio is known for its digital cameras. The G'zOne series of phones were released by Casio as well. The G'zOne phones were military tested and are extremely rugged. For its next addition to the cell phone world Casio combined the ruggedness of the G'zOne series of phones with their digital cameras, thus creating the Casio Exilim C721. This phone features a camera that takes photos, a durable casing, and even web browsing.
The G'zOne series of phones were built to withstand extreme conditions. The look of the Casio Exilim C721 is improved over the G'zOne phones. The phone is slim and wide. It is sturdy to the touch. The phone is military certified under the MIL-STD 810F code and is still functional under extreme conditions such as being submerged in water, in high altitudes, as well as exposed to rain, dust, salt, humidity, and even solar radiation. One can even take photos while the phone is under water.
Additionally the camera on the Exilim is 5.1 megapixels. The camera takes amazing photos and works just as well as average point and shoots. The ingenious design also helps the phone function like a normal camera. The flip compartment can be rotated completely around which turns the screen into a camera view finder. The view finder can be used for self portraits or as a traditional view finder if one flips the phone closed in this state. This camera offers a staggering 7 different image resolutions. It also features an image stabilizer, 16x digital zoom, and an auto focus option. Another feature which makes the camera easy to use is the various presets available. These presets automatically adjust the camera properties to take the best pictures possible in any given situation and location. The mode titles are self explanatory with such labels as Person, Night View, Food, and Party among others. The camera can also record video, the video quality was quite nice for a camera phone.
Despite the small screen there is also a full HTML web browser. It worked very well and users are able to zoom in on any part of a website to get a better view. Full HTML web browsers are usually only included on phones with bigger screens so its inclusion on the Exilim is very welcome.
The Casio Exilim C721 would make a great phone for anyone who needs a durable device to withstand their active lifestyle. Along with its amazing camera and easy to use interface this phone is a great device anyone can utilize. It may cost a little more than other phones but the price tag is worth it alone for the camera and durability.
