The Fossibot F101 marks the debut of a Chinese brand that places a premium on resilience and long-lasting power. Reports from Gizchina highlight its rugged focus and a substantial battery capacity as the key selling points.
The manufacturer positions Fossibot as a young entrant in the market, with the F101 serving as the first smartphone from the company. The device features a 5.45 inch HD+ display, a 24MP main camera, complemented by a 5MP sensor and a 0.3MP auxiliary sensor. An 8MP front camera takes care of selfies and video calls.
Performance is managed by a budget-friendly MediaTek Helio A22 chip, paired with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. This configuration is intended to deliver everyday usability while keeping costs low.
Yet the standout attribute of the Fossibot F101 is the enormous 10600 mAh battery. The manufacturer claims the device can stay on standby for up to 44 days on a single charge. For safety and longevity, the charging guidelines suggest using an 18 watt charger for this sizable battery.
Another notable feature is a sizable 3.5 W speaker that promises adequate audio output for media playback and calls. The phone is designed to resist the elements with IP68 and IP69 water and dust protection, and it also carries military grade MIL-STD-810G durability standards for added ruggedness.
The Fossibot F101 entered the market at a price point around 140 United States dollars, which translates to about 10.5 thousand rubles at current exchange rates. This positioning underscores a budget-friendly approach with an emphasis on battery life and rugged design rather than cutting-edge flagship features.
