Advice on rugged phone

Hi everyone. My old Moto E4 is not functioning properly: display issues, connectivity, freezes, so it needs to be replaced.

I’m a outdoor guide so this time I’d like to buy a rugged phone that can last to falls, dives, dust, low temp.

Overall I’d say I do a standard use of the phone: no games, use the browser quite a lot and youtube as well, email app, common applications for home banking, transports, maps, music etc…

I’m in two minds though. I’ve been reading and watching reviews about two models:

Cat s52

260-300 €

Blackview BV4900 Pro

160 €

Find a general specs comparison in the following picture.

It seems to me that the BV has a better hardware compared to the CAT.

Although Bv owners have reported several issues with the display, connectivity or general software problems.

Probably buying a CAT would make me feel more assured because it’s a big brand afterall, if I need technical support and so on.

On the other hand I feel like considering it’s spechs the CAT is a bit expensive…

What would you suggest?

Thank you!
