Apr 14, 2025, 8:41 AM by Rich Brome @rbrome.bsky.social

Samsung today announced the Galaxy XCover7 Pro, its newest rugged phone targeted at business customers across various industries. Compared to the XCover6 it replaces, it sports a much newer Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, and larger battery at 4,350 mAh. Most other specs are similar, including a waterproof, rugged body, with Gorilla Glass Victus+ protecting a 6.6-inch FHD+ display that works with gloves and when wet. It has 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage (expandable). It can charge in a dock using POGO pins, and the battery is user-replaceable. It also comes with Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, fingerprint reader, a 50 megapixel main camera, and an 8 megapixel wide-angle camera. It has two programmable shortcut buttons: one on the top and one on the side. It will be available in the US on May 8th.
