A rugged phone with a 10,000mAh battery for under 3 thousand? This Blackview model has dropped to its lowest price in the Czech Republic!

A phone for a construction site, workshop, or a week-long hike? The Blackview FORT 1 targets exactly these situations. A 10,000 mAh battery, military-grade durability, and glove mode – these are features you won’t find in regular phones. For less than three thousand, you get a workhorse that can withstand almost anything.

Battery for a week

A 10,000 mAh capacity is double that of regular smartphones. The manufacturer states up to 43 hours of calls, 21 hours of browsing, or several days in standby mode. In practice, this means you can charge the phone on Friday and not have to worry about it until Sunday, unless you plan to play games or perform other demanding tasks.

Extra bonus: 5W reverse charging turns the phone into a power bank. You can charge headphones, a headlamp, or a friend’s phone via cable if it runs out of juice in the middle of a trip.

Military-grade durability

The combination of IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H means the phone will survive a fall into a puddle, high-pressure spray, and frost. Reinforced corners, an aluminum frame, and durable Panda Glass protect the display and electronics. Sealed buttons and connectors work even in mud.

Practical detail: a speaker cleaning function uses sound waves to expel water and dust from the grille, so the sound remains usable even after a downpour.

For work, not for Instagram

Let’s be honest: this isn’t a phone for taking concert photos or playing demanding games. The Unisoc T615 processor is energy-efficient but not powerful. The display resolution of 720 × 1612 pixels is below average by today’s standards. And 4 GB of RAM is sufficient for basic applications, not for demanding multitasking.

But that’s exactly the compromise that makes sense. Lower resolution and a weaker processor mean longer battery life.

What else it offers

Android 15 with the DokeOS 4.2 overlay brings practical features such as a compass, spirit level, altimeter, or sound level meter directly in the system. A programmable side button launches the flashlight, SOS, or recording with a single press. The microSD card slot expands storage by up to 2 TB.

The manufacturer heavily promotes AI features, but take that with a grain of salt – most of them are basic filters and photo edits.

The original price was 3,490 CZK, and now with code ALZADNY15, it costs 2,967 CZK. For a rugged phone with a gigantic battery, this is a reasonable price. Customer reviews are currently missing. If you’re looking for a work phone that can withstand rough handling and doesn’t need to be charged every day, the FORT 1 makes sense.

Do you use a rugged phone for work, or is a regular smartphone with a case sufficient for you?
