Most rugged phones are big, heavy bricks. The KingKong MINI 4 isn’t. It fits in a shirt pocket and works one-handed, and it’s still waterproof, dustproof and drop-tested. It’s a great work phone for tradies, an easy-to-handle phone for anyone who wants something small and tough, or a backup phone for the caravan, ute or boat.

Good to Know Before You Buy
- Small but solid: at about 192g and a rugged build, it’s thicker and heavier than you might expect for its size
- The cameras are basic: fine for snapshots and QR codes, not a photography phone
- 10W charging is slow, so plan to charge overnight (the battery then lasts a long time)
- The USB-C port has a rubber waterproof flap. It keeps water and dust out, so close it after charging
- HD+ screen and an entry-level processor: ideal for calls, messages, maps and everyday apps, not heavy gaming
- 4G only (no 5G)
- The included 10W charger has a European (EU) plug. Use an Australian adapter, or any USB-C charger you already own
