The Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro is finally here, and it belongs to the lesser-known Galaxy XCover rugged phone series by Samsung.
KC Choi, EVP and Head of Global Mobile B2B Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics said:
"We created the Galaxy XCover Pro series to give companies a mobile device strong enough to withstand the rigors of business on the frontline. We’re excited to extend this commitment further with the introduction of the Galaxy XCover6 Pro, a device that pairs uncompromised durability with seamless connectivity to unlock success for businesses of all shapes and sizes."
Rugged smartphones have created their own separate fanbase over the years. Samsung Galaxy XCover series, Ulefone Armor series, CAT phones have dominated this domain of smartphones.
Even Nokia recently joined the race with Nokia XR20, currently the last Nokia smartphone with ZEISS camera system. Rugged phones tend to have a more robust build, larger battery, better connectivity, harder glass, better IP dust and water resistance.
