Description

ZTE T86 Telstra Tough Max 3 - Brand New Open Box Ruggedised Smartphone

The ZTE T86 Telstra Tough Max 3 is a brand new open box ruggedised Android smartphone powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage (expandable to 256GB), and a 5.65-inch Full HD+ IPS display (2160×1080), designed specifically for professionals working in demanding field environments where durability and reliability are non-negotiable.

What is Open Box?

This device is brand new and has never been used. Open box means the original packaging has been opened for inspection or display purposes, but the phone itself remains in pristine, unused condition with all original accessories included. You receive a like-new device at a better value than standard retail pricing.

Built for Australia's Toughest Work Environments

This ruggedised smartphone excels in construction sites, mining operations, outdoor fieldwork, emergency services, and industrial settings where standard smartphones simply cannot survive. The IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating ensures complete protection against Australia's harsh conditions, from dusty outback worksites to wet coastal environments. With comprehensive 4G LTE connectivity optimised for Australian networks (Bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 28), VoLTE, VoWiFi, and external RF antenna capability, this phone maintains reliable communication even in remote locations with poor signal coverage.

Enterprise-Grade Features for Professional Users

  • Military-Grade Durability: IP68-certified waterproof to 1 metre for 30 minutes with complete dust protection, purpose-built plastic construction for impact absorption, and sealed ports maintaining functionality after submersion
  • Extended Connectivity: External RF antenna port (MS147 connector) enables connection to high-gain antennas for enhanced signal in remote areas—a critical feature for field professionals
  • Dual Camera System: 16MP primary camera with autofocus plus 5MP depth sensor for clear documentation of worksite conditions, equipment, and compliance photography
  • All-Day Productivity: 3920mAh battery delivering up to 500 hours standby and 12 hours talk time, with Quick Charge support for rapid power restoration during work breaks
  • Comprehensive Navigation: Multi-constellation GPS (A-GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo, QZSS, SBAS) provides accurate positioning across Australia's vast terrain
  • Versatile Connectivity: Dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC for contactless payments, USB Type-C for charging and data transfer, and 3.5mm audio jack for standard headsets
  • Programmable Super Key: Customisable side button for quick access to torch, camera, PTT applications, or emergency functions—enhancing efficiency in demanding situations
  • Expandable Storage: MicroSD support up to 256GB ensures ample space for work documents, photos, apps, and offline maps
  • FM Radio: Built-in FM tuner (87.5–108.0 MHz) provides access to emergency broadcasts in areas without data coverage

Android Operating System

Running Android 9 Pie, this device offers extensive app compatibility, Google ecosystem integration, and customisation options ideal for enterprise environments. Android provides greater flexibility for installing third-party business applications and custom software compared to closed systems, though users should note that Android devices may require more frequent security updates. The open nature of Android makes it particularly suitable for organisations requiring specific industry apps or custom enterprise solutions.
