On the same day that Motorola is rolling out new entry level Moto devices IQU Group has launched the AGM Mobile $349 H6 Lite and the $99 M9 4G which are being described as a new level of rugged smartphones because it’s also slim tough and looks like a conventional smartphone.

Today IQU Group and AGM Mobile, are the leader in rugged smartphones, with the new H6 Lite and the AGM M9 4G set to deliver a new lightweight but tough standard for rugged devices that are as ideal for a soccer mum as they are someone on construction sites but don’t want a rugged brick device.
The AGM H6 Lite is being described as a” marvel of modern smartphone engineering”, combining a sleek, ultra-thin design with the robustness expected from AGM’s rugged lineage.
This is the same Company that has been manufacturing rugged CAT phones for Bullitt the UK Company who designed devices for Range Rover and Motorola.

It comes with 48MB of RAM and 128MB of ROM, expandable to 128GB.
The device also boasts a removable 1000mAh battery, dual SIM and TF card slot, FM radio, and a torch.
