This rugged phone really lacks the performance needed for Android 14.

An economical and sturdy design, although its performance leaves a lot to be desired.

The AGM H Max is presented as a more economical option compared to the Doogee Fire 6, although it offers similar performance and a larger battery capacity. However, the device has less memory and storage, and the T606 SoC is not powerful enough to support Android 14, despite its attractive price.

Among the positive features, the AGM H Max stands out for its affordable price, sturdiness, excellent battery life, and the ability to take decent photographs. However, it is a large phone equipped with a T606 SoC, limited to 4G connectivity, and capable of recording video in 1080p.

The design of the AGM H Max is similar to previous AGM models, with a 6.56-inch screen and an unconventional resolution of 720 x 1612. This phone, weighing 324 grams and measuring 172.55 x 79.6 x 15.65 mm, is water-resistant and designed to withstand shocks. Its price is around €199 in Europe and £142 in the UK, making it a very accessible option.

Despite its size, the AGM H Max is not the ideal choice for daily use due to its basic specifications and the quality of its main camera, which is only 13MP, while the front camera has just 5MP and is limited to recording at 720p. It comes with a case designed to withstand impacts and has a triple compartment for two Nano SIMs and a MicroSD card.

Its specifications are limited, featuring a Unisoc T606 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. Although its battery capacity of 10,000 mAh is notable, the 10W charging speed does not compare to other phones that offer faster charging. Despite this, battery life is one of the standout aspects, achieving over 31 hours of use.

In terms of photography, the main camera can provide competitive results compared to other options in the same price range, although its video performance and sensor quality leave much to be desired.

In conclusion, the AGM H Max is an accessible and robust option, suitable for those looking for a second phone for tough environments. However, its overall performance may not meet the expectations of those seeking a more powerful device or better photographic capabilities.
