TL; DR
- Samsung has just unveiled the rugged Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro.
- It has a durable exterior, Android 12, four Android upgrades and a removable battery.
- It will be launched in select markets in July 2022 with a wider launch to follow.
After a few weeks of leaks and rumors, we finally have the official announcement for Samsung’s latest rugged phone. Although it is primarily aimed at business users, normal consumers here will find much to love.
Inside, the phone is not slack either. It has an unnamed 6nm octa-core processor, which is said to be the Snapdragon 778G. It’s a decent mid-range disc set with 5G connectivity. It comes with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. You can add up to 1 TB more storage through the included microSD card slot.
The most exciting, however, is the phone’s removable battery. It used to be something you saw a lot in the Android world, but is now a rarity. The battery has a size of 4 050 mAh and can be charged through the standard USB-C port or with the phone’s POGO pins.
Eventually, the phone is powered out of the box by Android 12. Samsung supports Dex connections with this device and also promises four Android upgrades and five years of security arrangements.
Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro: Price and Availability
Unfortunately, Samsung has not yet released pricing information for the XCover 6 Pro. The Galaxy XCover Pro costs $ 499, so we would expect a price a little higher than that.
Samsung has confirmed that the phone will be launched in July 2022. It will land in select markets across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and will later expand to other countries – including, presumably, the United States – at a later date.
