Energizer Hardcase H570S

The Energizer Hardcase H570S may suit buyers who put water and dust protection and battery capacity first. The trade-off is charging: its 10 W rate is lower than what most phones of its time offer. Its 6500 mAh battery capacity, by contrast, is among the highest of that period. Capacity and charging speed are distinct considerations here, rather than a single strength.

The phone has an IP68 rating, with a stated waterproof depth of 1.5 m. Its IPS LCD display measures 5.7″ and has a density of 282 ppi, below average for its time. Design and display overall are worse than those of most phones launched around the same time. Hardware performance is also worse than most: the phone uses a quad-core MediaTek MT6739 and eMMC 5.1 storage. Connectivity is below average, with Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2 and USB Type-C. It also has a 3.5 mm audio jack and supports two Nano-SIM cards.

In short, the Hardcase H570S is for buyers who want a high-capacity battery and IP68 protection and can accept slow charging, modest display density, and hardware and connectivity that lag behind most phones of its time. Android 9 completes this straightforward configuration.
