ASPERA R6: IP68 certified smartphone packs a punch following the

success of former 3G juggernaut ASPERA R5

SYDNEY, Australia – March 5, 2015 – Australian mobile brand ASPERA, today

announced their new ruggedised 4G flagship; ASPERA R6. Fast, powerful, and

tough, R6 makes no compromise on outright smartphone performance in adding

IP68 certification for total dust protection and water protection at more than 1 metre

for 30 minutes. R6 comes with Gorilla® Glass 3 for ultimate screen durability and a

ruggedised, shock resistant outer body. Supercharged with a 1.7GHz Octa-core

processor, dual band Wi-Fi and blistering-fast 4G data speeds, R6 runs Google’s

Android OS (v4.4.4 KitKat). R6 also packs a whopping 3300mAh battery, high

resolution 13MP rear camera, 1200 x 720 HD display, and dual-SIM functionality. R6

is available now and retails for just $599.

Following the success of the Aspera 3G R5 model - R6 is set to make waves in the

Australian ruggedised 4G market. Launched in November 2013, ASPERA R5 burst

on to the scene securing spots in top retail chains nationally and has procured

steady channel sales growth in retail and Commercial B2B distributors alike. Farming

Ahead awarded R5 the Best Reception Smart-phone in July 2014 and in August

2014, independent consumer watch-dog CHOICE, recommended R5 as the

“Rugged/Tradie Champion” and top “What to Buy” mobile phone - triumphing over

other market-leading brands and scoring 84% in the areas of reception, call sound

quality, web browsing and network performance. Built on proven innovation and

genuine consumer demand, ASPERA believes the R6 smartphone is poised to be

the ruggedised force for 2015.
