Samsung’s first rugged smartphone with 5G support is here with the new Galaxy XCover6 Pro and offers most of the features you’d expect from a 2022 smartphone. Starting with the display, XCover6 Pro offers a 6.6-inch PLS LCD with resolution FHD + and a refresh rate of 120Hz. With its increased touch sensitivity, the XCover6 Pro’s display can be easily operated even with gloves or wet hands.
In true XCover style, the phone is IP68 water and dust resistant and MIL-810H compliant. The listed dimensions of the phone are 168.8×79.9×9.9mm and it weighs a whopping 235 grams.
XCover6 Pro also supports 5G and Wi-Fi 6E. It is powered by the Snapdragon 778G chipset along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage via microSD.
There is a 4,050mAh battery on board which sits behind a removable plastic backrest. You can charge the phone up to 15W with the supplied cable and the phone also supports proprietary accessories that connect via the two pogo pins on the bottom. Speaking of special features, XCover6 Pro also offers a programmable push-to-talk button.
The camera department features a 50MP main camera with f / 1.8 aperture which sits alongside an 8MP ultrawide snapper with f / 2.2 aperture. There is a 13MP selfie cam at the front hidden in a teardrop notch. The front of the software is covered by Android 12 with OneUI on top. Other noteworthy features include speaker boost mode, a headphone jack, and Samsung DeX support.
Unfortunately, Samsung Germany did not share any pricing details. According to some rumors, the device should cost around 600 €. Samsung is expected to formally announce the XCover6 Pro on July 13 alongside the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro tablet.
