RugOne's Xsnap 7 Pro combines extreme durability with a removable camera system, launching on Kickstarter September 7th for €799.

The Xsnap 7 Pro features IP68 and IP69K ratings, enabling it to withstand intense water jets and survive complete submersion for up to 30 minutes. Its distinguishing feature is a detachable rear camera that functions as a standalone action cam—a capability absent from competing rugged phones. The device houses three rear cameras total, with one capable of independent operation for adventure documentation. RugOne unveiled the phone at MWC 2026 and will offer it through Kickstarter in limited quantities before broader market availability. Pricing starts at €799 (approximately $930). The crowdfunding approach allows interested users early access ahead of general release.
