![]() ![]() A bit lower along the rear panel there are two pins for the optional standing charging case. Next to it sits the star of the show, the thermal camera (the large central circular thingie) and the infrared camera with the IR LED hidden underneath the plastic cover. Surrounding it, there’s the 2-megapixel Macro camera along with the air pressure balance hole, the 108-megapixel main shooter and the flash LED. The good news is that the speaker grille is made of metal (while it was plastic on the Glory Pro). It just never gets the chance to show its true potential. Two, because the speaker gets muffled when the AGM G2 Guardian sits on its back and, when on its front, it’s very loud, but not always very clear (it depends on the room layout). One, you never get to put the smartphone flush on the desk. ![]() AGM G2 Guardian – the speaker and the cameras. In a market where no smartphone stands out anymore, I won’t judge AGM’s pursue on trying something new, but I still consider the idea to maintain that speaker in the middle and still pointing outwards a bit uninspired. But you will still have to account for the large circular part that covers the top half of the smartphone. It seems that the wireless charging is still there (10W) and I think it’s a bit better placed than on the Glory Pro, which had that area slightly depressed. Then again, I would like to see a bullet-proof smartphone sometimes in the future. The frame and the rear panel are solidly made and there is no chance you’re going to bend this device, and for a moment, I thought that the rear may be Kevlar, but it’s just a similar pattern. I guess this is both impressive and a negative aspect of the phone, but then again, the AGM G2 Guardian wants to sit more in a tool box or travel bag than in your pocket. If you’re going to put it in your pocket, make sure that you have a solid belt since it’s going to try and pull your trousers down. The rugged smartphone also weighs 0.9lbs (405g) which makes it heavier than the Glory Pro and one of the heaviest smartphones I have ever put my hands on. And yes, the AGM G2 Guardian is unapologetically rugged, sporting a large case that measures 7.0 x 3.3 x 1.0 inches (17.7 x 8.5 x 2.5cm), so it’s actually thicker and taller than the Glory Pro. Those that want to use their phone to hammer nails. I noticed that some manufacturers have taken important steps towards ensuring that their rugged smartphones don’t really stand out when put next to the regular phones (such as the newest CAT), but AGM targets a different category of people. How accurate is the fingerprint sensor?. ![]() Furthermore, the rugged smartphone is equipped with a 7,000mAh battery, it supports 5G and it seems that it will also connect to WiFi 6/6E networks, so let’s put it to the test and see if it can be considered the best rugged smartphone to date. Since CAT moved to a 120Hz display panel, AGM also added a 120Hz panel to the G2 Guardian, so it’s much smoother than on previous models. So, expect the large circular speaker embedded on the rear panel which can be very loud, up to 109dB, and, besides the thermal camera, there are four other cameras, including infrared night vision and a macro shooter. Also, let’s not forget that the AGM G2 Guardian is indeed a rugged smartphone and the manufacturer made sure to keep the signature look of the previous models. It could also work in an industrial setting, where it’s difficult to see through dust or fog – and machines do generate a lot of heat. And it’s definitely a step up from the previous flagship, the Glory Pro, but who actually needs a thermal monocular camera? I am sure that not only hunters, but some hikers and overall, people that like to go on outdoor adventures would benefit from a thermal monocular camera. Furthermore, the camera will allow you to see the heat signature of people or animals (for hunting purposes) and it seems that the AGM G2 Guardian can indeed detect them from up to 0.3 miles which is quite impressive, especially for a smartphone. ![]()
