AGM is an up-and-coming company, which specializes in rugged and durable handsets that you can take anywhere. Still, "rugged" does not need to mean "underpowered" and AGM understands this, which is why it has a few models in its portfolio, ranging from the budget-friendly AGM A9 to the flagship-grade AGM X3. Both of these phones have speakers tuned by JBL, and they sound loud, clear, and powerful compared to other handsets. Now, the companies have upgraded this partnership to co-branding the AGM phones, starting with the mid-range A9, which will now be known as the AGM A9 JBL. AGM is currently at MWC with a booth open for anyone who wishes to check out the aforementioned devices and hear those JBL-tuned speakers in action. The company would also like to proudly announce its entry into the European markets through its UK-based webshop — agmmobile.co.uk. It is live now and customers can visit it to order their new rugged AGM phone. In the near future, the company plans to launch a new budget-oriented feature phone running on Android Go, called the AGM M5. It is IP 68 and MIL-STD-810G certified, guaranteeing its a rugged little handset. Meant as a backup device or the phone you take to places where smartphones might not survive, the M5 sports a 2,8-inch QVGA display, big and easy-to-read keys, and a 2,500 mAh battery which should last quite a while. It still supports 4G to keep you connected on your hikes. In the AGM web store, you can find the budget-friendly AGM A9 JBL, which still comes with quad JBL-tuned speakers; the mid-range AGM X2 SE, which packs a massive battery and a Snapdragon 653; and the flagship AGM X3, with dual JBL speakers, Snapdragon 845, wireless charging and more. They can be shipped to all EU countries and orders within the UK come with free delivery.   You can check out AGM online store here: Shop AGM phones

AGM X3 Wins "Best Ruggedized Device" Award At The UK Mobile Industry Awards 2019

AGM A9 has been in the news for a while and today the company unveiled the device in all its glory. The A9’s killer feature are the 4 speakers that are tuned by JBL and offer superior sound quality. Of course, it is a rugged smartphone as many previous models from the company that has a long tradition in such devices. The phone sports both IP68 and MIL-STD-810G certification and that means that not only is it both water and dust resistant, but it can also “bump-proof” in case you accidentally drop it. On the hardware side, the AGM A9 comes with a Snapdragon 450 SoC and that is a surprise as almost all smaller Chinese manufacturers use SoCs from Mediatek. To accompany the SoC, there are 3GB or 4GB of RAM that come with 32GB or 64GB of storage. The display measures at 5.99″ and has a FHD+ resolution meaning that the company dropped the 16:9 aspect ratio. Oh, it has a Glove mode too for easy use when wearing gloves. The device is not bezeless though, as that could make it less durable to drops. The photo shooting is taken care of by the 12MP Sony rear camera and the 16MP front camera so no dual camera here. Interestingly enough, AGM equipped their new star with an FM Radio, something that is missing from the vast amount of devices out there nowadays. Lastly, there is a fingerprint sensor on the back and the battery of 5400mAh makes sure you won’t run out of juice through the day.
