I would call that rugged!
It is interesting how the specifications have moved on in what is about 2 years, roughly, between your two phones.
Regarding the software, I have tried out the free version of Maps.me and now moved on to try other Android apps; there are masses of them which take OSM maps and put their own "face" to those same maps.

I'm using a Doogee DG310 (looks and performs like a Samsung Galaxy S5 except for camera and resolution) and costs USD80 new from ebay. Great screen, get a rugged case and presto...

That Doogee looks like a very good value find - it is on UK ebay for about £60 or thereabouts.
It looks like the 2000mAh battery is replaceable - a decided advantage - and the screen is made by LG according to the ebay advertisements.
LG supply screen technology to a range of other manufacturers IIRC.
