DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

* Package

AGM X1 is delivered for us in premium design package.

Box is in structured black which in light goes into sliver shimmer glow. It has a eminent look enhanced by sliver and gold logo of AGM manufacturer. From the very first look you come across high quality design.

Inside the box.

Separately packed: users manual, original orange USB cable, headphones with backup silicon pads, 2A black charger, screen protector.

* Unit Design

You can get it in 2 nice colors: black, and blue.

I have received a black version of AGM X1.

Back cover is made of poly-carbon rectangular patterned matte black plastic. Matte finish is not completely irresistible to light smudges from natural finger oils. But it is easy to keep clean and pleasant to touch and hold.

On the back from the upper side you can see dual 13 MP camera alongside with double LED light for difficult light conditions. Cameras are protected by messing like metal which gives it refined look. There is a small opening for back mic.

Below you receive a logo of AGM in silver metal like structure. Back is enforced with metal silver look 10 screws to ensure the IP68 certificate. It has a non removable battery.

Then you have masked loudspeaker whereas both plates with logo enable to maintain good quality of sound when your smart AGM X1 is lying on the back.

Front side of AGM X1 is 5.5 Amoled Samsung display with Gorilla Glass 3. Under thes display there are 2 control buttons which are not back-lite and middle fingerprint scanner which as serves as third control button. Upper and down side of the phone are reinforced by pleasing brown dotted plastic insert which protect the display when placing on the screen side and probably enhance against breaking when falling out of hand. I would rather have complete edge-to edge display construction, but it is only my esthetic.

Above there is a chamber for the system loudspeaker, notification light, LED light for the front camera

AGM X1 has a traditional controls layout. On the left side there are VOL + and VOL- rockers, on the right side a tray for MICRO and NANO SIM card, from which the latter can serve as SD card holder. You do not need any needle to open the tray, you can comfortably pull it out with your hand. That is very practical.

Both tray and rockers are of premium quality materials. Rockers additional are rectangulary polished to silver colors which match the frame surrounding the screen.

Upper side of the X1 is sleek clean.

On the lower side of X1 there is a enclosure behind which you can find usual USB charger slot and traditional 3.5 mm audio jack

AGM X1：163.5x79x11.8mm. X1 is a rugged smartphone with max height of 11.8 mm and 9 mm edges. It weights 210 g which is only 40g heavier than business phone and 50g lighter than other rugged phones. In short the AGM X1 is a rugged smartphone that, unlike most rugged phones, features a sleek and beautiful design.

Holding the IP68 rating this Chinese smartphone is fully resistant against water, dust, and shocks it features a business like design, making this rugged phone perfect to be used during outdoor activities and formal occasion alike.

AGM X1 is designed to help you attend a business meeting or head out into the wild – the AGM X1 smartphone will follow you anywhere in style.

DISPLAY

5.5'' Super AMOLED

AGM X1 is equipped with 5.5 FHD Super AMOLED display of Samsung. Most Chinese manufacturers use JDI or SHARP displays.

According to AGM display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and there is a screen protector included in the package.

The unit I have in hand is 480 dpi so there should be no struggle to see details on the screen clearly even during daylight.

Minimum setting are to low to use as operational, around 50% is good enough to use for most tasks.

Viewing Angles are as good as i would have expected from a FHD SUPER Amoled of Samsung display.

Amoled displays have vivid colors withe tendency to green.

PERFORMANCE & STORAGE

Overall performance is high considering the Snapdragon 617 1.5 GHz

and 4GB RAM & it is self-evident on the AnTuTu Benchmark of 45717 which I do for the fun of benchmark fans but which is not to be relied on very much.

AdroBench eMMC performance is above good especially in regard to Reading Speed of above 260 MB/s. For everyday tasks even Write Speed of above 5 MB/s is high enough considering everyday demands.
