Samsung has introduced the Galaxy XCover7 Pro, the company’s next rugged smartphone, after rumours. The phone retains the 6.6-inch FHD+ 120Hz LCD screen with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection, and replaces the Snapdragon 778G with Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 4nm Mobile Platform.
The phone has IP68-rated water and dust resistance and is MIL-STD-810H6 certified to ensure resistance to drops, extreme temperatures, and vibrations. There is anti-feedback noise reduction, minimizing disruptive sounds that can occur when multiple devices that share the same channel are in close range, and it finally gets stereo speakers.
The phone still has Top Key and XCover Key, packs a 4,350mAh user replaceable battery and comes with POGO charging interface, in addition to USB charging.
