The Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro sports a 6.3-inch FHD+ Infinity Display, which can be used with gloves and even when the screen is wet. The phone is weatherproof with a rating of IP68 for water and dust resistance, and boasts a MIL-STD-810G certification for enduring extreme weather conditions. With its own encasing, the XCover Pro could withstand impact and drops from a height of up to 1.5m.
Under the hood, the rugged smartphone is equipped with a Samsung Exynos 9611 SoC, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage (expandable up to 512GB via microSD card), and runs on the Android 10 operating system. It also comes with a 4050mAh battery that supports 15W fast charging, which is removable if the users wishes to top up power with a spare battery or have it replaced entirely if required. The XCover Pro sports a dual rear camera setup consisting of 25MP and 8MP camera modules, while a 13MP front-facing camera is situated in the upper-left corner punch hole cutout of its Infinity display. Additionally, the phone also features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and two buttons that can be customised to instantly launch certain applications, or activate functions such as the built-in flashlight.
Other features include NFC support, Samsung KNOX security, and Pogo pin charging support and compatibility with third-party charging docks. On top of that, the phone is also enhanced with unique partner-enabled mobility solutions such as the newly announced walkie-talkie function in Microsoft Teams.
The Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro will go on sale starting January 31 2020 and is priced at EUR500 (~RM2260). No mention of when the rugged smartphone will reach Malaysia, but as mentioned earlier – the phone is slated for a worldwide release. (Source: Samsung.)
