Pitched as an ultra-portable, rugged Android phone for extreme sports, hiking, and filming underwater, the Atom’s dinky 45x96x18mm frame only has space for a 2.45in 432×240 display, but the diminutive form-factor doesn’t mean stripped-back specs elsewhere.

Somehow, the brains behind the small handset have managed to pack it with a smorgasbord of features, including 4GB RAM; 64GB storage; 2GHz octa-core CPU; Android Oreo; 16MP rear camera (8MP front); NFC; fingerprint sensor; and a headphone port.

More importantly, its rugged IP68-certified build can take a tumble on a hike, fit snugly in an armband when you’re jogging, and is suitable for underwater filming.
