Frozen in ice for over 36 hours! Will the rugged handset AGM X1 survive ?

As we all know, offering IP68 protection, all the devices are waterproof and dustproof, and some of them are allowed to be shock proof, they can survive under water over 30 mins at the depth of 1.5M, but AGM company seems not only satisfied with water resistance, the flagship AGM X1 has been taken to go through a cruel test: frozen inside a big ice for almost 36 hours.

AGM X1 is rugged smartphone with IP68 certified, they made a video of it(below) let’s check this out to see if the phone can get through the test.

Other than IP68 , AGM X1 packs a 5.5inch Super AMOLED display, with 1080P resolution, Snapdragon 617 SOC under the hood, along with 4GB ram and 64 GB of expandable storage, 5400mAh battery and 13MP dual camera in the back as well as 5MP front camera.

Android 7 will be after 2 February after the Chinese Spring Festival. A friend of mine an engineer ordered his AGM X1 yesterday and it will be shipped also after the holidays time.

Do you think AGM X1 with Android 7, dual camera, snapdragon 617 can be your flagship killer?

[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
You're joking, eh? Whose flagship? A very good device offers not only top-notch hardware, but also good software and support, too. AGM must still give proof on this, and the hardware is'nt.

Concerning my delivery experience, this started bad. The Nomu was delivered two working days after my order, for the AGM X1 I'm still waiting, on the 16th day.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Everybody would like to receive his AGM X1 immediately:)

Complain to Amazon that they should turn your attention to the fact that there was National Holiday in China and that Amazon does not ship from China during last 2 -3 weeks time until 4 th February. :) It is all over e-commerce shops.
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
Chinese New Year was on 28th January, not 14th. Enough time to send the package. They should just close their shop, when the whole staff is on holiday 14 days before and the week after this event. "The same procedure as every year, James" ((c)Dinner For One).

FWIW, for me delivery took 2 days from Amazon within Germany.

Hi guys.

i wrote a review for this device, but for now is only in spanish. (if i can do a translation i will post here)

http://manguiro.blogspot.com.es/2017/01/review-agm-x1-smartphone-rugerizado.html

about the rooting process, i used KingoRoot PC version for rooting this device.

i strong recommend to avoid using KINGROOT because install so much unwanted software.

About Android 6 firmware, i'm not sure this will happen because AGM comment to me that they are preparing an Android 7 version for this device, as their next update.

About FM Radio. AGM confirm to me that this device don´t have this feature.

About Galileo, there is no info about if this device will support, but if igure will not.

About the firmware, i have a firmware file for flashing, but AGM ask to me to not publish, because this firmware come with some bug and most probably they will update the current Android 5.1 firmware with some patch for solving this.

I'm not sure what is this bug, but mine device get hang in some situations for some seconds, and after this get normal again. Is similar to have so much apps running and the system get hang trying to free ram for running other apps.

take note this is my feel. i'm really not sure what happening.

About sensors, there are a lot of sensors on the device, but there is no altitude, temperatureand pressure sensors (displayed on the Outdoor tools app)

about the Outdoor tools app, this app is only in chinese and english. if you configure the device in any other language than english, the app will display in chinese. This bug is reported to AGM (to change the default language to english)

well, if any want to ask something about this device, let me know, and i will try to answer in the better way i can.

Greetings!

Thank you. I bought too early, with "selliing and delivery by AGM Mobile" from Hongkong. A few days later, it became "selling by AGM Mobile and delivery by Amazon".

As expected, customs caught my phone and I had to pay ~62€ VAT at their office to receive the package. The phone itself and it's box has all certificates and flyers for usage in Europe. The customs inspection officer did not ask any further questions.

The phone size is about the same compared to my 6 Plus with the Apple Leather Cover on it, maybe slightly longer. It looks very nice, and now I'm waiting for an update, to start usage.

Top 5 reasons to buy quality rugged smartphones.

Have you ever accidentally dropped your smartphone into water or on the hard surface? Have every your child put water on your smartphone or throw it on floor while playing the game or watching a cartoon? In the most of the cases your smartphone found fully dead or faulty, or broken. We listed Top 5 reasons that why the rugged smartphone is becoming more popular and worth buying.

Reason #1: Shatter Proof

For many smartphones, if your top brand Smartphone accidentally drops from 4 feet up on the floor. In result your smartphone will be dead or become faulty or breaks. Especially for the phone with curve screen like galaxy S7 edge this pricey fragile display probably breaks your heart. For the situations you need to have quality rugged smartphone, because it has a great ability to protect your smartphone from water, dust and accidentally drops.

Reason#2: Water Proof

You feel worried about your smartphone, whenever you give it to your child for playing the game or watching a cartoon? Answer Yes. Now a day’s quality rugged smartphone come with certified IPS68 which means don't worry about water, dust, and drops. You can able to go swimming, take underwater photos, and use in the rain.

Reason#3. Dust/Scratch Proof

In daily life, even a pretty tiny pebble can make a big scratch on the phone, many users have to use thick case and screen cover to save it from dust, water and scratch. Thanks to IPS68 Certification, the device remains undamaged in case of drops on floor or in water.

Reason #4, Massive Battery

Rugged devices are built for outdoor activities, so you need smartphone with huge battery capacity to keep it on until end of the activity. Quality rugged smartphone equipped with a big battery which can work for a long usage time (usually up to 3 days).

Reason#5: Military-grade body

The most common standard for rugged devices is MIL-STD-810G which certifies products to handle rapid temperature changes and a wide number of other environmental challenges, rugged smartphones are ability to functioning even in temperatures below zero.

Conclusion

There is no doubt that having a rugged smartphone can at least save much money from getting your phone repaired and you can feel free to use it in any situations. Some consumers may dislike the appearance of rugged smartphones, they think these handsets are bulky and too big for them, but I am wondering what the difference is if you put a flimsy phone in a bulky case for protection? For many users, rugged smartphone is a great choice whether it is as a back-up handset or a primary handset and Features employed in rugged smartphones are key to their success in the current market.

[Device Reviews and Information] rupi99:
It is middle of February meanwhile. Any news on Android 7 update?
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
[MENTION=3429202]rupi99[/MENTION]

Nothing new, but ads.

Samsung and other companies stopped their upgrade rollout for A7, because there is a major flaw introduced by Google. I would prefer to receive a reliable and secure ROM, instead of a buggy one.

But, we are missing *any* sign of life. AGM throws one phone a week onto the market, but no words on updating existing ones. I fear this ends the same way Elephone does, with it's Vowney series. No support, no updates, no security fixes.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
I agree that they work probably on stable ROM based on A7. Huawei and many others have also problems with A7.

AGM will start delivering A7 models A8 and X2 in March. X1 update is some days late to initial info.

AGM tools on X1 are in English except for that any one noticed any problems with X1 ROM?
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
The AGM Tools are in Chinese, when language is set to "German". The automatic brightness changes too fast, just have to move the hand angle and the screen goes totally dark or switches to blinding bright. Very unreliable. Google Maps work, Here Maps are detecting my location 250km away.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
IF you changed locality than GPS needs time to find your place from last location.

I tested GPS Google Maps while travelling. No problem there.

I have english set but agree it should be localised for other languages:)
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Tomorrow probably I will have TWRP
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
Google uses several methods for getting the location, Here Maps uses only GPS.

This is only indoors. App is GPS Test Plus. AGM X1 (left side) detects many satellites, never gets a fix. S7 Edge (right device) detects much less, but gets a fix, after two minutes:

Outside usage in my car for navigation, there are no issues so far.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
I did not have any problem with navigation in a car or just walking with AGM X1.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
AGM Made available Stok ROM for AGM A2 and M1.

Android 7 for A8 according to sources will be published next week so perhaps for X1 also in near future
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
Are there any third party screen protectors available, tempered glass and the like? AGM delivered one, made of plastics, with the phone. Nice, but you see virtually *every* fingerprint on it and the surface is hard to clean.

[edit01]

Now, I'm feeling slightly ripped off, because I paid about 385€ (device + VAT) for a not google-certified device. Fingerprint authentification can't be used for Pay in Play store, no Android Pay on NFC, and so on. Play Store shows 'not certified' and the device doesn't pass the SafetyNet test.

[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
They have to fix it. Many handsets have the problem. I think it is because of Google app changes.

Nomu S30 had the same problem but they stopped support

we will see what AGM does
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
Preferably those which are not running an Android Version, certified by Google... I.e. all custom ROM. AGM just took their chinese stock ROM and installed the international Play Store instead of the Chinese one. And yes, they have to fix this by letting certify their ROM.

Xiaomi did this for their international Special Edition of the Redmi Note 3 Pro, named 'Kate'. So it must be possible for AGM, but, are they willing to do this? Especially since Android 6 and onwards, Google has set a lot conditions for companies.
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
[MENTION=8090507]Kasaq[/MENTION]

You just said it... AGM X1 has a lovely large 5,5" screen and neither less nor more resolution than FHD.
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
[MENTION=8090507]Kasaq[/MENTION]

I don't trust Ulefone, Elephone, Umi, to build a long lasting quality rugged phone. They are not supporting even some of their only one year old phones any more.That's all I can add to this.

AGM has some experience in rugged phones, the X1 looks quite good and has the fingerprint sensor right on the front. Right now, I don't regret buying it. Time will show if AGM will disappoint my trust in them, or not.

[Device Reviews and Information] jerzyjerzy:
About this comparison between Nomu S30, Blackview BV6000, Ulefone Armor, and AGM X1:

If you compare specifications, the AGM X1 wins hands down in every aspect - it has a better battery, better screen, more RAM and more storage, much better (double) camera.

Also, it looks MUCH better!

I would buy the AGM X1 without even thinking twice.
[Device Reviews and Information] hotphil:
So it's not getting Android 7 then?

Is this yet another brand that abandons devices as soon as they're out the door?
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
[MENTION=662007]hotphil[/MENTION]

I do fear the same. But, right now, their whole staff seems working at the MWC, 2/27. - 3/2. 2017. The Facebook site confirms an upcoming release.
[Device Reviews and Information] hotphil:
Yep. I'm waiting for the X2 with interest. But as their poster at MWC says it'll be at least summer before I can get one, I might get an X1 while waiting. But only if they upgrade the Android version.
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
Finally, there is a date for Android 7:

http://www.agmmobile.com/en/news/x1-android-nougat

They pushed the rollout date several times, I can't believe this is final and there will be no more delays.
[Device Reviews and Information] steveeJ:
Do you have an official reference for your claim that they pushed it several times?
[Device Reviews and Information] wihushae:
Obviously Android 7 was not released in February, and also nothing to hear from jan regarding TWRP...

So it has been pushed once i think!
[Device Reviews and Information] hotphil:
That's a shame. I need to order a new phone this week and was hoping for the X2 or at least the X1 with Nougat.

Maybe I'll look at AGM again in a couple of years.
[Device Reviews and Information] dsmythe:
fyi- You will only get 3G+ if you use this phone on T-Mobile in the US.
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
Don't buy the Chinese version, buy the "EU" version: FDD-LTE：800/1800/2100/2600（B20/B3/B1/B7). Are these frequencies not usable in the US?
[Device Reviews and Information] dsmythe:
I did, it has EU under the logo...So I guess not. too bad too...very nice phone.

Sim card

Hi! I just ordered an AGM X1, but one thing wasnt clear for me. I want to use the device with only one sim card in 4G ( Hungarian T-Mobile), but wich sim supports 4g? The micro, or the nano one?

Thanks in advance for any helpful answers!
[Device Reviews and Information] wihushae:
Just a brief look on their homepage:

Standby Card

(Micro SIM + Nano SIM),Nano SIM slot can be used for TF card socket

SIM card

(Micro SIM+Nano SIM), SIM1 supports 4G only when 2pcs 4G SIM card inserted.

So from my point of view the micro SIM is the primary SIM for 4G!
[Device Reviews and Information] VikingPanda:
Thanks, im not a native english speaker and the "SIM1 supports 4G only when 2pcs 4G SIM card inserted" confused me, i tought that it only works in 4g when both simcards are 4g capable.
[Device Reviews and Information] wihushae:
I'm not a native speaker too, but this is the only way which makes sense. A sim slot that just supports 4G sounds very strange!
[Device Reviews and Information] VikingPanda:
X1 is shipped with their unique system (its almost a stock android 5.1), but 7.0 comes on 5th may, according to the agmmobile.com.
[Device Reviews and Information] pentagan:

Hi! I have another silly question :D

I just got my AGM X1 today, nice and fast and good looking phone, easy to personalise, but on the lock screen there is 2 clocks, one for my hometown, and one for Beijing. I cant find the setting for turning off the dual clock feature, can somebody help me? ( I already switched the phones home to Budapest in the settings/calendar)
[Device Reviews and Information] Jasonnnnn:
About the performance

Has anyone used AGM X1 for a while?

Is s617 working well on this phone?

Any lag situation? or bugs?

I am not a gamer, but I don't want a laggy phone when I just only use Whatsapp,fb,web browsing,etc

I'm currently using Lg g4, the battery is just draining. I would like to know how good the battery this phone is :)

THX
[Device Reviews and Information] abraxaz120:
The performance seems ok, maybe not the smoothest phone out there, but at least not lagging. I have found a few bugs related to taking screenshots or photos when they are saved to the external memory, other apps might also fail if configured to use external memory (SD card), the only way to fix it so far is to restart the phone. Other than it performs well, it should improve with the nougat update (assuming it will actually be released).

I get an average of 10 hours of screen on, which is good, but I was expecting more as I was getting similar numbers from a Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime which has just 4000 mAh and performs faster.

The only part I consider a downer is its camera, it really sucks in indoors and specially in low light.

Also, the way they designed the cover for its earphone port puts it in a kind of deep and narrow bay, might not work well with certain thick earphones plugs.
[Device Reviews and Information] WS937:
I've had my AGM X1 for 3 weeks now, and the battery life was amazing. All of a sudden since a couple days the back feels warmer than usual (not hot like my old S6 Edge + could get) but definitely warmer, and doesn't even last a day. I have no idea what changed. Anyone experienced this/have a fix?

Under Battery in settings it says that a process called Media Server is taking around 21-25%. Not sure if that is a lot, I also have no idea if Media Server was there a couple days ago when my battery was working just fine. Some forums said (for other device) to remove the sim/microSD card slot and reinsert it, but that didn't work for me. Read that this process checks for files to add to your library, and it might be stuck in an infinite loop. Not sure how to fix this if this is indeed the problem though.
[Device Reviews and Information] abraxaz120:
Had a similar problem years ago, you could try to use a card reader and run an scan disk / repair on windows, then put it back and depending on its size and the number of media files it might take a while before the scan completes, if that does not help you might have a defective memory card. I think removing the cache may help as well.
[Device Reviews and Information] WS937:
I had to eventually just factory reset my phone. What was weird is that when I connected my phone to my computer to backup some files, I couldn't find any of my DCIM photos or videos. I had to open a file manager on my phone and transfer stuff to a mSD I had lying around. They were then visible on my computer, but when I connected my phone directly to my computer, the files were just gone. Anyways, the battery is amazing again. Very odd problem, hope that doesn't happen again anytime soon.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jasonnnnn:
how often does it update via OTA?
[Device Reviews and Information] steveeJ:
You can configure the interval in the Updater application. So far mine hasn't received any system updates, simply because there is none.
[Device Reviews and Information] dieterhaack:
My phone came in January with Android Security Patch Level Sept. 1st, 2016, and it is still on it. Don't believe you will get as much updates as on a Samsung S7 Edge (which is water proof, too). Or any.

AGM shifted Android 7 upgrade for X1 to May, and after that, I don't expect much for the future. Phone is half a year "old" then, and you may know how "long" Chinese Brands support their hardware. Ok, exception is Xiaomi.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jasonnnnn:
Thats sad...Xiaomi, Moto, Oneplus are also Chinese Brands and good for support. I believe if AGM selling point is"long time " and "Not just use for once" in chinese, they should show more evidence. Good spec needs good support !
[Device Reviews and Information] matzman1:
I just received mine last week. I use only one sim which is a nano, without any memory card. It connects to 4G with this configuration although it recognizes it as the 2nd sim.

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

I have mine for a week now and I am very happy with it so far.

A couple of minor things bother me a bit though and I was wondering if anyone has a solution for them..

- When using the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone, it automatically goes to the home screen. This is annoying if I have selected a message from the lock screen and instead of going to my emails it goes to the home screen. It must be interpreting the fingerprint scanning as a long press. Unfortunately I can not do anything about it from the "buttons" menu on options... Any suggestions welcome..

- It would be great if I could have software navigation buttons like I had on my 1+1. .

- The choices of cities displayed on lock screen have nothing to do with my selected cities (as mentioned by another user as well)

Other than that it is a very nice phone. Maybe a little bulkier than I expected but not too heavy. Battery has been great (more than 2 days with moderate use).
