Samsung has introduced the Galaxy Xcover Pro rugged smartphone in Finland without much publicity, which will go on sale in the country on January 31 for a price of 499 euros.
The Galaxy Xcover Pro features a 6,3-inch 2400 x 1080 pixel LCD display that can be operated with wet or gloved touches.
The novelty is based on the eight-core Exynos 9611 processor with a clock speed of up to 2,3 GHz, has on board 4 GB of RAM and a flash drive with a capacity of 64 GB with the possibility of expanding memory up to 512 GB thanks to the support of microSD cards. The specifications of the device include a dual rear camera built around a 25MP wide-angle module and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle module. The resolution of the front camera for selfies is 13 megapixels.
Like all representatives of the Galaxy Xcover family, the novelty is characterized by increased protection from the effects of the external environment and falls. The Galaxy Xcover Pro is IP68 rated for water and dust ingress protection and also meets the MIL-STD-810 military standard for shock and vibration resistance. At the same time, the smartphone is equipped with a removable battery. This option has been missing from Galaxy Xcover devices for at least the last couple of years. The battery capacity is 4050 mAh, and support for 15 W fast charging is also reported.
Like other Xcover phones, the Galaxy Xcover Pro has two programmable buttons (one on the left side of the case, one on top) in addition to volume and power buttons. The power button also serves as a fingerprint reader.
Unlike other recent Galaxy smartphones, the Xcover Pro runs Android Pie, which can be upgraded to Android 10 in the future.
According to the resource WinFuture, the implementation of new items in other European countries will begin in February.
