Harris InTouch RPC-200 is one of those devices most of us will never get to try out. The reason is simple – we’re talking about a smartphone made for specific niche markets, where the extra ruggedness plays a big role and prospective buyers working on construction sites or oil rigs don’t mind paying a premium for it.

This smartphone runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and is able to connect to public safety band 14 LTE and commercial 2G/3G/4G networks. Its tough body can handle drops, varied temperature ranges, immersions and more.

Specs wise, the InTouch RPC-200 rocks a 4-inch screen, 5-megapixel camera on the back, HDMI video out, and push-to-talk capability with dedicated button to start it up. As you would expect, there’s also a specific UI that provides quick access to key phone features.

Harris, in case you wonder, is one of the leading suppliers of assured communication systems and equipment for public safety, federal, utility, commercial and transportation markets…
