What we like about Samsung Galaxy Xcover 6 Pro (6GB + 128GB)

  • Good, smooth performance from the Snapdragon 778G processor
  • Removable battery is a rare and highly valued feature, allowing for quick swaps and longevity
  • Durable design with IP68 and MIL-STD-810H ratings for water, dust, and drop resistance
  • Quality display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus+ for scratch resistance
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD card slot (features often missing in other modern phones)
  • Solid cameras that produce good photos and can record 4K video
  • Support for 5G and Wi-Fi 6E provides fast and reliable connectivity
  • Programmable XCover Key is useful for quick access to apps or functions like push-to-talk
  • Touchscreen is sensitive enough to be used with gloves or wet hands
  • Long-term software support (promised four Android OS updates and five years of security patches)

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy Xcover 6 Pro (6GB + 128GB)

  • The rear cover can pop off when dropped, which may compromise its durability in extreme conditions
  • Battery capacity (4,050mAh) is considered mediocre and drains quickly for some users
  • Charging speed is limited to 15W, and it lacks wireless charging capability
  • The single built-in speaker has average audio quality, lacking bass and sounding scratchy at high volumes
  • Fingerprint sensor can be flaky or inconsistent for some users
  • The phone feels large and can be difficult to operate with one hand
  • The plastic material and design, while durable, can feel less premium or 'tinny' compared to flagship devices
  • Camera lacks optical image stabilization (OIS) and optical zoom, resulting in blurred images at higher zoom levels

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Xcover 6 Pro (6GB + 128GB) is a rugged, enterprise-ready smartphone built around a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor and 6GB of RAM, featuring a 6.6-inch Full HD+ PLS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and durable Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. Key strengths include its military-standard MIL-STD-810H and IP68 ratings for dust and water resistance, a rare user-replaceable 4,050mAh battery, 5G and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD expansion up to 1TB, and two programmable keys for custom functions like push-to-talk. Primary drawbacks are a back cover that can pop off in a drop, a finicky fingerprint sensor, and a display that could be brighter in direct sunlight.
