Land Rover ‘Explore’ Smartphone Is As Tough As You’d Expect

If you thought Land Rover focused only on luxury vehicles, think again. The high-end automaker has just introduced a new smartphone as part of its line of brand-specific luxury-goods.

Land Rover’s Explore is a tough and rugged new smartphone designed to outlast competitors like the iPhone X or Samsung Galaxy. Now, drivers who are used to taking their powerful Discovery or Defender vehicles out into the wild have a phone that can survive the more rugged journeys they have in mind.

The Explore phone is made by British phone maker Bullitt, but with Land Rover’s stamp of approval. Customers can expect the utmost in quality and durability from the expedition-grade tech necessity. And, similar to the Moto Mods range, customers can add modules to the basic phone to customize features and functionality.

Perfect for adventuresome Land Rover fans, the first mod available is the Adventure Pack, which boasts its own long-lasting battery, ViewRanger’s map application, and an advanced GPS system; a handy suite of features, especially when the unexpected arises. The company is also working on adding an augmented reality add-on to help users identify geographical features—useful when navigating unfamiliar landscapes.

The phone isn’t available quite yet, so detailed specs regarding the build and complete feature set have yet to be revealed; we do know the MSRP will hover around $850.

Land Rover will begin taking orders for the Explore in April, allowing you plenty of time to plan your summer wilderness adventure.
