Samsung Introduces New Galaxy Model Equipped with Interchangeable Battery Feature
Meet the Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro: A Beast for Tough Times and Everyday Use
Say hello to Samsung's latest creation, the Galaxy XCover 7 Pro, designed for rough and tumble work environments like construction sites or manufacturing halls, but just as appealing for everyday use. What sets it apart? A swappable battery that requires no tools—a rarity these days!
Built to Survive and Thrive
This bad boy belongs to the clan of "outdoor smartphones," renowned for their rugged durability. It boasts a housing that adheres to the IP68 standard, making it dust-proof and capable of surviving a 1.5-meter deep dive in water for extended periods, thanks to a little rain shower or a, ahem, unfortunate puddle mishap.
For Construction and Day-to-Day: The XCover 7 Pro
You might wonder how the removable battery affects water resistance. Fret not, because with the XCover 7 Pro, you can swap out the back cover without any tools, ensuring quick battery changes during those lengthy work shifts—a lifesaver on the job site.
Under the Hood
Underneath its robust exterior, the phone houses the efficient Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, a mid-range powerhouse optimized for energy savings. While it's not designed for top-tier performance seekers, it handles everyday tasks, messaging, videos, and professional apps like a champ. The battery packs 4,350 mAh, promising up to 17 hours of juice. Recharging is a breeze, thanks to USB-C or Pogo Pins at the bottom, which also support parallel charging in a docking station, perfect for businesses or construction sites.
A Smartphone with Some Punch
The 6.6-inch IPS display offers a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution surpassing Full HD, ensuring crisp and smooth visuals, even with fast-paced action. Granted, the classic 3.5mm headphone jack is missing, so users of wired headphones will need an adapter. Inside, you'll find 128GB storage and 6GB RAM, expandable up to a staggering 2 TB via microSD card.
Ready to Roll Later This Month!
Keep an eye out for the Samsung Galaxy XCover 7 Pro hitting shelves later this month, priced at 609 Euros (as of April 2025). For comparison, the previous model, the Galaxy XCover 7, released last year, fetches around 250 Euros but offers less performance and lacks a fingerprint sensor.
