The two models have both undergone testing for absorbing a drop from heights; the company claims the devices have been dropped from a height of 10cm 28,000 times and 32 times from a height of a metre.
The operation of the A77 5G has also been tested at 55 degrees and also at minus 15 degrees Celsius, with the performance also tested at 95% humidity. The devices are also waterproofed to the IPx4 resistance level.
Other plus points cited by the manufacturer are the 5000mAh battery and the 33W SUPERVOOC charging technology. This, it is claimed, will result in a full charge in 68 minutes.
