The Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 is finally here!
Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy XCover 7. We have been hearing about this handset since 2023 and now it is finally and officially here.
The handset represents the latest addition to Samsung’s XCover series, phones specifically designed to be more rugged than typical smartphones. Those working in the field might prefer such a device over a flagship, particularly if there’s a change you might damage it.
With the Samsung Galaxy XCover 7, the handset will feature MIL-STD-810H certification for protection against drops and bumps. It will also come with an IP68 rating which means that it is highly water-resistant. The best part, and this is something we think more phone makers should do, is that its 4,050mAh battery is user-replaceable!
As for the rest of the phone’s specs, we’re talking about a 6.6-inch FHD+ TFT display. Its refresh rate is 60Hz, but it boasts greater touch sensitivity for glove use. A 6nm octa-core chipset is powering the Samsung XCover 7. The company did not disclose the make and model, but it comes with 6GB of RAM and offers a base storage of 128GB. It is further expandable up to 1TB via microSD.
The back of the phone features a singular 50MP f/1.8 camera. The selfie cam is of the 5MP variety. The cameras are nothing to shout about, but then again, that’s not really the point. Other features include a customizable XCover Key, a barcode scanner, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Samsung did not disclose the potential cost of the XCover 7, but they plan to launch it by the end of the month.
