Gloria G1S smartphone from AGM for heavy-duty use. The new phone meets IP68 and IP69K protection standards and the MIL-STD -810H standard for water, dust, and drop resistance. Glory G1S has an IPS screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and a 6.53-inch diagonal size, according to the Chinese company. In order to compete with the established brands, AGM has been developing flagship-level smartphones for half a year. Now, the AGM Glory G1S has been announced as well after the Glory Pro was released about half a year ago. While the Glory Pro went up to 256GB of storage, the Glory drops to 128GB now, but it's not as big a deal given that you can add another 512GB of storage via a microSD card.

AGM Glory G1 Pro:
To everyone's surprise, the Chinese company AGM is determined to return to its previous positions. The simultaneous release of several new products this year led to the completion of a complete high-end product line. Nevertheless, the game's developer decided to prioritize functionality, rather than performance or shooting capabilities, which are both rather ordinary and mysterious. Is this type of device likely to be popular with a sophisticated audience?However, the outside of the device still had a number of flaws despite the company's designers' efforts. I object to the viewport, which isn't the actual form factor of the 16MP front camera, in addition to the standard oversized dimensions of rugged phones. Additionally, we like to mention the colorful rubber bodies, the impressive circular design of the four cameras, and the conveniently located mono speaker (up to 113 dB). With this Android smartphone, you can eliminate the need for a tiny Bluetooth speaker. However, the quality of the 6.53-inch IPS screen is disappointing. In devices with a lower price point, OGS screens with an average brightness and contrast are more popular, as well as a 60Hz refresh rate. Although the image has a FullHD + resolution, an anti-oil coating does not improve the overall appearance.

It would also be better if the specs were better. In resource-intensive games like Fortnite or Genshin Impact, even with low graphic settings, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 CPU is not up to this manufacturer's standards, so 8GB of RAM and the Adreno 619L graphics adapter won't be enough to give players a comfortable gaming experience. Configure your settings. The eaves may sag from time to time. They did not skimp on the capacity of the internal memory, as it reached 256 GB, with the addition of a MicroSD card slot. Furthermore, the slide mechanism and the screens are energy efficient as well. In combination with the 6200mAh battery, this fact indicates the excellent battery life of the phablet around 10-12 hours of usage.

We now turn to the photography department. It's apparent that the 48MP Sony IMX582 sensor doesn't have optical stabilization and isn't a photographer's dream. Even in brightly lit photos, subtle noises and smudges sometimes appear, and as the lighting deteriorates, the problem becomes worse. Some will impress you with a 20-megapixel night light sensor, thermal imager, and macro camera, but these features will not suffice, for example, for hunting. Contactless NFC payments and IP68 protection from moisture and dust are among the advantages, but they are not enough to turn expensive and controversial gadgets into potential bestsellers.

I don't think AGM Glory G1S differs much from the one used on Glory Pro, but until I get to test the device, I can't know whether it has been altered in any way. However, Android 11 support is not that great and Android 12 would have been better since manufacturers of rugged smartphones have a hard time updating their phones to newer versions of Android. AGM Glory G1S varies very little from the Glory Pro, with the laser pointer being the most notable difference (it's good for measuring distances).
