Zombies attacked - grab your mobile!

You never know what will happen to you. Maybe one day, while watching the latest episode of The Walking Dead, you will one day see the real living dead outside the window? Or a zombie epidemic will take you by surprise on the street. It is unlikely that someone will have a shovel, a double-barreled gun and a first aid kit at hand. The maximum that everyone has with them everywhere and always is a mobile phone. Which, by the way, is also not bad if the model is one of those that were included in this collection.

And, no, the expected jokes about the “shovel” will not be in this post.

What is the first thing a person will do when the zombie apocalypse begins? Probably, he will try to make sure that everything is in order with his family and friends. And this means that even in extreme conditions you need to be in touch. The SpareOne Plus Emergency Phone is designed specifically for this situation. This little one is not capable of anything but calls, but it can work (attention!) Up to fifteen years on a single AA battery. Even if you manage to drain the battery, it will be much easier to find a new one than a battery for a smartphone - in almost every grocery store, all kinds of “energizers” hang at the checkout.

If it is necessary that the phone is not only long-lasting, but also as functional as possible (how else can you post photos of the living dead on Instagram and a funny video with a waddling zombie in Vine?), you should pay attention to the “long-playing” smartphones from Highscreen. For example, Highscreen Alpha R, although it has an impressive super-clear Full HD screen, can work for a whole week on a single charge.

And Highscreen Boost 2 beats this record too. Two powerful batteries that come with the device provide up to two weeks of battery life. The joke that Android phone owners are easy to find if you look near a power outlet won't work anymore. By the way, the life of this smartphone from a single charge is four times longer than the period during which a person can live without food and water. So it's better to take care of your food, otherwise it will be a shame if the phone outlive the owner.

But charge isn't the only thing that matters. It is important that the phone can "survive" even in the most extreme conditions ...

However, there are other options. For example, the almost indestructible Kyocera Torque, built to military standards. It is not afraid of water, dirt, humidity, fog, solar radiation ... And it also does not have a speaker. Instead, Smart Sonic Receiver technology is used, which sends a signal directly to the eardrum, as a result of which you can hear the interlocutor well, even when there are groans of hungry zombies or the noise of shooting around (by the way, it is relevant now - for nightclubs on the outskirts of Moscow).

Well, what if you don't want to change your phone just in the hope that one day World War Z will start? Then you should take care of your current gadget. For example, buy a military-grade Survivor case from Griffin for it. In such a "shell" your mobile phone itself will become a murder weapon.

And, of course, returning to the title of the article, it's nice to remember useful applications for such difficult times. Perhaps the most straightforward would be the ZombieDetector program. It works simply - it starts to squeak when a zombie is "detected". Don't forget to check your friends on it, otherwise you never know.

Zombie Tools offers a more comprehensive approach - here you have a motion sensor, and survival tips, and a flashlight, and much more.

Of course, in all seriousness, only the most paranoid fans of horror films and the Walking Dead series believe in the danger of a “zombie epidemic”. But after all, lectures on survival in a zombie apocalypse are held at US universities, aren't they?
