That’s surprising, I have a 3 year old Droid Razr Maxx HD, the battery still
lasts 2 days between charges, I guess that depends on how you use it. The
Kevlar back is very tough. It did take a leap off the dresser a few months ago
onto a sharp object and got a couple scratches in the screen. You’d want a
faster processor and bigger screen today, but I have no complaints about
battery life.

Droid Turbo meets those. I primarily want battery life and that thing
delivers. Never had cold effect the speaker at all, but it definitely drops
the battery like a brick.

The Boss got a new toy for Christmas and it won't work with his old
Smartphone, so he's looking to upgrade. I'm happy with my ancient smartphone,
so I haven't had a reason to pay attention to the 'new' things that are out
there. In looking at what's out there now, It seems like MicroSD cards are
going away, as well as removable batteries. Do they just figure that
everything goes to and from the cloud now, and doesn't need to be stored on the
phone? We'll stick with Android phones.
The Samsung Edge6 and Note 5 look to be almost the same thing, but no SD
card. I thought I remembered seeing a TV ad for a Sony phone where they were
using it outside, then washed it off under a faucet, but I can't remember which
model it was.
Some things that would be nice to have:
Rugged, survive a drop from a couple feet while working outside.
Decent screen size, and daylight viewable.
Good battery, especially in cold.
Good Speaker phone
Minor weather resistance, splashes etc, not submersion.
I like how the CAT phones look http://www.catphones.com but with that
size of screen, I'm afraid if you need a keyboard, you'll lose too much screen
real estate.
Any Brands/models I need to go check out?
