The Galaxy XCover6 Pro has a 3,950 mAh battery that’s actually removable and replaceable — Samsung notes that if the battery dies, the user can quickly swap out the dead battery with a charged one and get back to using their phone. This is a very rare feature among smartphones these days, and it helps prolong the device’s use even after the original battery loses its ability to hold a charge. Along with the use of recycled plastics, the handset has a MIL-STD 810H and IP68 rating, plus it sports Gorilla Glass Victus+ and the touchscreen can be used in wet environments.
Inside, the phone is clearly no high-end flagship, but it could give Samsung’s own mid-range phones a run for their money. A Snapdragon 778G runs the show, which means it’s 5G-compatible, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable memory. One big step up for phones in this category is the 50MP main camera on the back, joined by an 8MP ultra-wide shooter. The front-facing camera has a 13MP sensor hiding inside an old-school V-shaped notch. The 6.6-inch FHD+ screen misses out on OLED technology, though, which could have probably helped prolong the battery life, too.
Samsung plans to first launch the Galaxy XCover6 Pro in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East starting in July. Other markets will also get the phone, but the company didn’t specify which ones and when the availability will expand to them. As well, the company hasn’t revealed the rugged phone’s price yet. According to SamMobile, rumor has it the phone will cost around the equivalent of $625 USD.
