@Artemis201 i had a dramatic and agonixing choice process proritizing similar things this summer and i was looking into all rugged phones (actually i wanted battery life, and i wanted that it doesnt become os incompatible too fast) and i was looking for possibilities under 140 eu. I ended up buying a huge zte because of the camera quality argument and because i went stingy (120 eu) only to find out that the camera is shitty anyway and i should have gotten the rugged ones. i dont have the brands in my head anymore but if you want i can try to reconstruct it for you. Let me know. Edit: i think oukitel, fossibot and ulephone. I did not flash it, because usually no such instructions for the cheap chinese brands, but i degoogled it, and except for zillions of warnings, everything seems to work.
