Sony at CES 2014 unveiled a new PlayStation-related service, one that many users may enjoy in the future, without actually having to purchase a PlayStation console.

If you’re looking for a new smartphone, you might think that you have a lot of choices given that Samsung, LG, Huawei, Xiaomi, and other companies are each selling numerous handsets.

But what if you want a rugged smartphone that can handle everything you throw at it?
