According to Roland Quandt on X, Samsung's upcoming rugged phone, the Galaxy Xcover 7, is coming to Europe for less than € 400. This isn't a bad deal considering the overall state of rugged phones, which are often underpowered or run on a proprietary Android OS-based software with minimal support.
Choosing Samsung for your next rugged
phone might not be such a bad idea. It's rumored to have a 6.6-inch FHD+
display, 6/128GB of memory and going by past leaks, it features a Dimensity
6100+ SoC. It also 'looks nice and boasts MIL-STD-810H military-grade standard
and IP68 ingress protection.
If the pricing is indeed below € 400, the
Xcover 7 will surely be a competitive solution in this rather niche segment.
Not to mention software support will likely be longer and more reliable
compared to other less known brands.
