Karma Mobiles falls under the Karma Group of companies that have been active in Nepal’s agriculture sector since 2001. Given that, the nature of their operation, they realised that a lot of smartphones do not have what it takes to assist people involved in heavy-duty occupations. This is why they introduced Karma KG777 Pro into the market. Let’s discuss further.
Karma KG777 Pro Overview
Design and Display
The Karma KG777 Pro is a rugged phone and looks such a way too. It has a hefty casing and textured back panel. There appears to be a triangular metal plate on the lower part with the company branding. It has two strips of LED underneath the camera which can light up in multiple colours. This phone is IP68, IP69K as well as MIL-STD 810G-rated effectively making it waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof. Moreover, in the promotional video of the phone, a person literally tosses it like a skipping stone. Seems legit. 👍
On the front, it has a 6.3-inch screen spanning FHD+ in resolution. It unsurprisingly dons a Corning Gorilla Glass for added protection. However, the company has not specified the exact variant of the glass. They have not revealed other details on the screen either.
Performance
Being durable is where the Karma KG777 Pro excels at. The performance side of things is kind of… sad. Firstly, the primary driver on this thing is the MediaTek Helio P70 processor. This chipset launched back in 2018 and the series has not been updated since 2020. The Helio G-series chipsets — which are reserved for budget phones, succeeded the Helio P-series. In other words, the silicone on this phone is pretty old and weak but should work fine for basic things. It has an AI accelerator though.
Other than that, the phone comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Though it is not mentioned, the Karma KG777 Pro should have a slot for a microSD card, since it is pretty much standard for rugged phones to have one. Another standard for such phones is definitely a large battery, and this phone has a 10,000 mAh one! Karma mentions a wireless charging speed of 5W, but the speed for wired charging is not known.

Software and Camera
This phone comes with “Adventure Professor”. It is a software pack comprising of compass, sound meter, magnifier, height measure, magnifier, etc. — basically tools that would come in handy in emergencies as well as during work for those in heavy-duty occupations. That is cool and all, the Karma KG777 Pro boots on Android 10, which is once again pretty old at this point. Hence, the longevity of the phone is a bit questionable even though the phone’s hardware might survive for years to come.
Lastly, let’s talk about cameras, of which there are three on the back. The promotional materials of the phone have conflicting information on the primary shooter. It is either a 21MP unit with a Sony sensor or a 48MP snapper with a Samsung sensor. Moving on, the auxiliary lenses and front camera are undisputed. There are two eight-megapixel units on the back, the purpose of which is unclarified. Meanwhile, the selfie shooter is a 16MP unit.
