About this deal

Google apps like Chrome, Gmail and Play Store are preinstalled. There’s also an app called Explore Hub with links to a wide range of potentially useful outdoor apps. It’s not perfect, but that kind of attention to detail makes the Explore the best thought-out outdoor phone around. All Land Rover vehicles still under warranty are covered by our exclusive Land Rover Roadside Assistance, anywhere in the United States. However, where Land Rover’s phone stumbles is performance. Its mediocre Mediatek chip leads to underwhelming processing power, and when it comes to camera performance, the Explore comes up short compared to most other handsets at its price. The figures provided are manufacturer’s estimates and will be replaced with the official EU test figures as soon as they are available. For comparison purposes only. Real world figures may differ. CO 2 and fuel economy figures may vary according to factors such as driving styles, environmental conditions, load, wheel fitment and accessories.

Land Rover is one of the most world’s most iconic car brands and it’s decided to capitalize on this by… releasing a phone? Someone, somewhere, please strike me down. Inchape Land Rover, Southampton is a trading style of Inchape Retail Limited who is acting as a credit broker and not a lender. The figures provided are as a result of official manufacturer's tests in accordance with EU legislation with a fully charged battery. For comparison purposes only. Real world figures may differ. CO₂, fuel economy, energy consumption and range figures may vary according to factors such as driving styles, environmental conditions, load, wheel fitment, accessories fitted, actual route and battery condition. Range figures are based upon production vehicle over a standardised route. The mobile, inspired by Land Rover’s rugged ‘go anywhere’ 4x4s for those with an adventurous spirit, is capable of operating and navigating in extreme conditions for two full days with the screen on constantly. WLTP is the new official EU test used to calculate standardised fuel consumption and CO 2 figures for passenger cars. It measures fuel, energy consumption, range and emissions. This is designed to provide figures closer to real-world driving behaviour. It tests vehicles with optional equipment and with a more demanding test procedure and driving profile.However, it’s what’s inside the Explore that makes it stand out. That it’s fitted with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 is no surprise, but its 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) screen is smarter than that. Since 1948 Land Rover has been manufacturing authentic 4x4s that represent true 'breadth of capability' across the model range. Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Evoque each define the world's SUV sectors – which is also exported to over 100 countries. The journey towards electrification is already under way with a range of mild and plug-in hybrid models available today.

No matter whether you're searching for a new or used Land Rover, we'll be able to help. What's more, as we're part of one of the largest franchised dealer groups in the UK, you can be sure of always receiving the very best customer service and aftercare support. The Land Rover Explore’s 5in 1,920 x 1,080 display is fine for everyday use but I wasn’t blown away by its performance, at least in terms of its vital statistics. With the Standard colour profile enabled, the phone reproduced only 91.6% of the sRGB colour gamut. That’s by no means shameful but if you’re looking to edit photos of your adventures on your phone, what you see on the screen could be somewhat misleading, with blues and yellows in particular being way off. Maybe I’m too pessimistic. Maybe it’s going to be a great phone. Maybe people will love it. And maybe the big brains at Land Rover know exactly what they’re doing releasing a goddamn phone.After rigorous testing over winter 2022 and 2023, Peter Macfarlane recommends the unique approach of Keen. Find out why. Another highlight of the Land Rover Explore is its ViewRanger app, which allows hikers and cyclists to navigate using off-road topographical mapping in conjunction with that ceramic patch GPS antenna. However, we're convinced that it’s styled to appeal as much to the faux-outdoor lifestyle of the average 4x4 owner as it is to hikers, climbers, cyclists and kayakers.

Smart Settings is intended to be released as part of a future wireless software update. Software development and releases are subject to movements in planning and programming, and dates may be subject to change.

Keen Revel IV High Polar Boot review

Whether you are looking for a brand new or approved used Land Rover, a service, repair, or MOT, we are committed to giving you more of everything; more choice, more value, and more peace of mind. The Explore R is a fairly hefty phone measuring 160 x 76 x 11mm and weighing 225 grams. There’s no need for a protective case though so this is the size and weight you’ll be carrying. The battery is 3,100 mAh, which Land Rover says is enough for 1.5 days with “medium=to-heavy” use. The phone has a 12mp Sony dual pixel rear camera and an 8mp front camera. In response, Land Rover says this isn’t the sort of activity the phone has been optimised for; instead, it’s been tweaked to deliver the best performance in activities that require GPS and cellular connection in areas of weak signal, so you can keep in touch while you’re out in the wilds. As far as video is concerned, that’s equally disappointing. Although the Land Rover Explore will shoot footage at up to 4k and at 30fps, it does so without video stabilisation. One positive point, though, is that it records 4K using the HEVC video codec, which means your video clips will occupy considerably less space in storage than if they had been recorded as H.264 MP4 files. Land Rover Explore review: Verdict Land Rover is especially popular amongst well-off suburban and city dwellers, many of whom are sold on its “rugged” and “real” branding. It’s not a wild leap of the imagination to think the company could make some cash pushing these underpowered devices onto people with too much money, not enough sense, and a desire to be tough.
