Samsung’s first rugged smartphone with 5G support is here with the new Galaxy XCover6 Pro, offering most of the features you’d expect in a 2022 smartphone. Starting with the screen, XCover6 Pro brings a 6.6-inch PLS LCD display with FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. With its increased touch sensitivity, the XCover6 Pro’s display can be easily operated even with gloves or wet hands.
In true XCover fashion, the phone is both IP68 water and dust resistant and is MIL-810H compliant. The stated dimensions of the phone are 168.8×79.9×9.9 mm and it weighs a whopping 235 grams.
XCover6 Pro also supports both 5G and Wi-Fi 6E. It is powered by the Snapdragon 778G chipset in addition to 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, which can be expanded via microSD.
There is a 4,050 mAh battery on board that is housed behind a removable plastic back. You can charge the phone up to 15W with the included 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 brings a programmable push-to-talk button.
The camera department is led by 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 camera on the front tucked into a waterdrop notch. The software front is covered by Android 12 with OneUI on top. Other notable features include speaker boost mode, a headphone jack, and Samsung DeX support.
Unfortunately, Samsung Germany did not share pricing details. Based on rumors, the device should cost around €600. Samsung is expected to formally announce the XCover6 Pro along with the Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro tablet on July 13.
