Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro | Mobile News Best Rugged Smartphone Award Winner

We are proud to be the #homeofsamsungmobile and equally as proud of Samsung for its now award-winning Galaxy XCover Pro.

Having picked up the award for Best Rugged phone at the recent Mobile News Awards, beating the Cat S52. This formidable rugged smartphone with its premium design, business functionality, and powerful partner solutions, empowers your customers. With the perfect balance of intuitive style and productivity.

Sleek, Durable and Enterprise-ready Smartphone Built for Business

The Galaxy XCover Pro completely re-imagines the enterprise-ready smartphone, delivering a rugged, yet stylish device for both field and customer-facing settings.

The Galaxy XCover Pro builds on Samsung Galaxy smartphones’ premium legacy features. Including an immersive display, long-lasting battery and protection by Samsung Knox security platform.

In addition, the device is enhanced with unique partner-enabled mobility solutions for use in a wide range of business scenarios. Including the ability to integrate the newly announced walkie talkie capability in Microsoft Teams.

With the Galaxy XCover Pro, Samsung challenges the status quo with a new mobile phone optimised for a broad range of industries including retail, manufacturing, healthcare and logistics. With its thin and light form factor, the Galaxy XCover Pro offers much more than a traditional enterprise device; it is the most stylish and sleekest rugged all-in-one mobile device on the market.

The device is IP68 water and dust resistant, capable of withstanding drops of up to 1.5m, even without a case, and is MIL-STD 810G certified for reliable protection against extreme altitude, humidity, and other severe environmental conditions. Pogo pin charging support and compatibility with third-party charging docks ensure the phone is powered as soon as the workday begins. And a 4,050mAh battery lasts long after the day is done. For times when even more power is needed, the battery is replaceable – just pop in a spare and keep going.

The Galaxy XCover Pro allows users to tailor their experience with two programmable keys to create custom actions with one click.

This functionality makes complicated workflows simple letting users open the scanner, turn on the flashlight or launch a CRM app. All without swiping through apps, scrolling through menus, or even looking at the screen.

By removing the physical home button, Samsung has enhanced the elegance and simplicity of the phone design, while maintaining its ruggedness. The Galaxy XCover Pro offers a clear, edge-to-edge 6.3″ FHD+ Infinity Display. With an enhanced touchscreen able to work in any condition, including rain or snow.

For users in the field, glove mode allows for gloves-on use. And the new voice-to-text message feature provides real-time dictation and messaging for simple, convenient communication.
