LG first launched its X-series line of phones halfway through last year, and it's been continuing to roll new models out. The latest in this saga is the AT&T-exclusive X venture, which, as you might be able to tell from its name, is a rather rugged device. AT&T calls it 'stylishly resilient,' but let's be honest - only half of that statement is true.

The X venture teeters the line between budget and mid-ranger. It features a 5.2" 1080p display, a Snapdragon 435, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage with microSD expansion, a 16MP rear camera, a 5MP wide-angle front-facer, and a massive 4100mAh battery, which has a 'quick charging battery feature' that allows it to charge from 0 to 100% in less than two hours. It also sports a fingerprint sensor.

On the outside, the physical home, back, and recent keys presumably allow for easier use with gloves or in the wet, and the soft-touch back looks like it'll provide better grip. The MIL-STD 810G and IP68 ratings back the tough exterior up.

The X venture will be available for purchase starting on May 26th at a rate of $11 per month for 30 months, which adds up to $330 in total. For that money, you'll almost certainly be able to find a phone with better performance, but if you really need that rugged exterior, this may be the phone for you.
