Shockproof smartphones photograph very mediocrely. Manufacturers decided that the camera in a secure phone is not the most important feature, so they focused on other features. For example, performance and battery life. The camera was only talked about in the context of additional functions: it could be a thermal imager or a night vision sensor.
Despite this, we managed to find five rugged smartphones with a good camera. All of them with up-to-date hardware and software were released in 2021. They take pictures worse than the "civilian" flagships, but against the background of the same protected models, they can be called camera phones. The average indicators of anti-shock camera phones are as follows:
- Three camera modules. Sometimes more.
- Resolution of the main module is 48 MP or higher.
- Lack of optical stabilization.
- Sometimes nominal additional modules that almost do not help in photography.
- Weak front camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels.We have models in the ranking that can take very detailed selfies.
At the same time, the smartphone is not afraid of water, dust and shock. As a rule, it is from the mid-budget category: our rating contains models with a price of 24 to 50 thousand rubles.
Top 5. Ulefone Armor 11 5G

A lot of things that can not be killed smartphone from China. A 20-megapixel thermal imaging camera hides among the camera's eyes. The remaining sensors are involved in classic photography. The frames come out at 48 megapixels, there is still a 13-megapixel wide angle, and the two remaining modules help to make macro (2 megapixels are available) and blur the background in the portrait. So far, there are no detailed reviews and reviews for this phone, so nothing is known about the color reproduction in the photographs. The front camera is better than most of the competition, but still barely up to the level of mid-range non-armor-piercing models. The protective properties of this Ulefone are excellent: water, dust and shocks are not terrible for the device.
