AGM continues to specialize in highly effective rugged phones for professionals and active outdoors type users. The newest handset from the company is the AGM H5 Pro — a rugged handset with military grade protection ratings, huge speaker, a ring light, large battery and even an infrared night vision camera. As usual, AGM seeks to strike a balance and offer an affordable package, but the H5 Pro also pushes the envelope with a 2 GHz MediaTek Helio G85 processor.

Let’s take a deeper dive:
AGM H5 Pro resistance ratings, loudest speaker
The AGM H5 Pro has a stylized rugged body with a large multi-color light ring on the back. It’s there to underline another amazing feature of this phone — a 3.5 W, 109 dB speaker. For comparison’s sake, a loud rock band rehearsal with live drums gets up to 106 dB. The rugged shell has IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H certifications for dust-, water-, and shock-resistance.
