Now that most of the year’s flagship models have been released, Samsung is tackling another market, that of professionals and the awkward with the renewal of its XCover range, which promises resistance and longevity to its happy owners.
The booming rugged or shockproof smartphone market
In the Samsung Galaxy family, we all obviously know the S, the Z, the A or even the M, but there is another very important range that we don’t talk regarding as often, because the models are renewed less quickly, These are the Galaxy X, or rather the XCover, ultra-resistant smartphones for professionals, but not only…
In the jargon, smartphones like this are called rugged smartphones, understand shockproof. And although they are above all developed for building or construction professionals, to guarantee sufficient resistance to the vagaries of the job, we also find many of these smartphones in the world of events, among mountain guides or in the field. car.
And if previously we were really dealing with liners weighing several hundred grams, current technologies allow us to have something very close to more traditional smartphones, which opens the door to clumsy individuals who break everything they touch.
Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro, a robust design and an accomplished technical sheet
Unsurprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro smartphone arrives with the promise of a shockproof and ultra-resistant device. To do this, it has a Gorilla Glass Food protectionone of the most resistant panes of the moment, a certification IP68which guarantees that it can withstand rain, dust or even mud in the event of an unexpected fall.
Finally, and this is a major argument compared to conventional smartphones, the Galaxy Xcover 6 Pro benefits from the famous MIL-STD-810H certification that we see more and more often, especially on laptops. This so-called “military” standard provides resistance and increased protection once morest shocks, vibrations, bad weather or extreme temperatures, both positive and negative.
At the level of the technical sheet, the Galaxy XCover 6 Pro has a 6.6-inch LCD screen in Full HD + at 120 Hz, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778 processor, 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and an additional SD port to increase its capacity. It is also fully compatible with 5G and Wi-Fi 6E.
Good surprise on the side of the camera, since we can count on a 50 Mpx main sensor as well as an 8 Mpx sensor for the ultra wide-angle. Finally, the 4050 mAh battery seems to cut to ensure between 1.5 and 2 days of autonomy on the phone.
But who says special phone, says special features! Thus, among all these little touches of his own, we note that the device will be fully usable with gloves“even thick” responds Samsung. Its NFC chip will be able to replace badges and it can serve as a payment terminal. No need to have an additional TPE. It can also be used as a barcode scanner for inventories for example or in mode Talkie-Walkie thanks to a configurable button.
Full of beautiful promises which should once once more satisfy professionals but which also presents serious arguments also for individuals looking for a device resistant to all the little hassles of life.
