Crosscall, the French brand specializing in outdoor mobile technology in both professional and consumer markets is keen on the durability of its products and intends to make durability a major asset in its offer by now offering a complete range, consisting of 3 smartphones and a tablet, with an industry-first a 3-year warranty.
Crosscall is committed to the sustainability of its products.
Croscall has always built Ultra-resistant, waterproof mobile phones with long-lasting batteries. The mobile phone sector is often singled out for criticism, particularly in the area of programmed obsolescence so by offering particularly durable smartphones, Crosscall is taking the opposite direction to the trend towards increasingly short-lived smartphones.
Over the past 10 years, Crosscall has established extremely high quality standards, validated by more than 80 laboratory tests, and built trustworthy relationships with industrial partners who implement precise assemblies and use high-quality components that are themselves tested, proven and sustainable over the long term.
Crosscall doesn’t want to be just satisfied with offering rugged, waterproof mobiles with a long battery life. The company is making strong commitment to its users by guaranteeing all the products in the new CORE range for 3 years. A range that should therefore set the standard and open up a new path for sustainable telephony.
Cyril Vidal, founder and president of Crosscall said that the step represents the first of many in a project that consists of moving away from consumer-oriented telephony to telephony based on user needs and sustainability. He said the brand is based on the idea that a phone is made to meet the needs of its users, to fit their lifestyle and to last, no matter what environment it is exposed to. Putting the user at the centre of the products’ design and committing to their durability is where the true innovation lies.
Today, Crosscall is aimed at an increasingly wide customer base, who want a different kind of phone, with a longer life span and which is adaptable to all types of daily activities.

The CORE-X4 is a smartphone that is efficient in every way, designed to combine safety and convenience.
Its 18:9 format has been designed to make it as ergonomic as possible, allowing the user to access the entire screen with his thumb. Having undergone no less than 100 resistance tests, the CORE-X4 withstands all types of shocks and immersions, whether it is falling in mud or a container that spills into a kitchen. Its robustness, proven in the field, will also be appreciated at the beach, by the pool or in the mountains. The Wet Touch and Glove Touch functions, which are popular in professional outdoor environments, are equally useful in everyday life, when it rains, when your hands are wet or when you wear gloves.

Ideal for teamwork, the CORE-M4 is equipped with a programmable button that can be configured with a Push-to-Talk application turning the mobile into a modern day walkie-talkie.
