Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro (4GB + 64GB)

  • Durable, rugged, and grippy build with IP68 water/dust resistance and MIL-STD-810G certification, suitable for tough environments and outdoor use.
  • Features a user-replaceable battery, a rare feature that allows for extended use with spares and prolongs the phone's lifespan.
  • Good, bright Full HD+ display (IPS LCD) for a rugged phone, with enhanced touch sensitivity that works even with gloves or when wet.
  • Includes a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot for expandable storage, features often missing in modern smartphones.
  • Reliable and fast side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
  • Two programmable buttons (XCover Key and Top Key) for quick access to features like push-to-talk (PTT), scanning, or the flashlight.
  • Decent camera quality for a rugged device, sufficient for work-related photos.
  • Runs a full version of Samsung's One UI software (based on Android), offering standard smartphone features and business-oriented integrations like Microsoft Teams and PTT platforms.
  • Offers good battery life for normal use, with POGO charging support for easy docking in professional settings.
  • Solid call quality and a loud earpiece speaker suitable for noisy environments.
  • Promised long-term software and security updates (up to four years of software updates).

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro (4GB + 64GB)

  • Performance issues and general sluggishness due to its mid-range processor (Exynos 9611) and 4GB of RAM, especially with multiple apps running or over time.
  • The back cover can pop off relatively easily in a fall, sometimes causing the battery to fall out.
  • The display is an LCD panel, not as vibrant as AMOLED screens, and can be dim and struggle in direct sunlight.
  • Charging is slow with the included 15W charger, and the device lacks wireless charging support.
  • Camera performance is considered basic; while sufficient for work, photos can be soft or struggle in low light compared to higher-end phones.
  • No 5G connectivity (the original XCover Pro is a 4G device).
  • Lacks advanced rugged features found in some competitors, such as night vision or thermal cameras.
  • The mono speaker is considered average in quality for media playback.
  • Can be considered bulky compared to standard consumer smartphones.

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro (4GB RAM + 64GB storage) is a rugged, business-oriented smartphone featuring a 6.3-inch Full HD+ TFT display protected by Gorilla Glass 5, powered by an Exynos 9611 processor. Key specs include a dual rear camera setup (25MP main + 8MP ultrawide), a 13MP front camera, and a 4,050mAh removable battery which supports 15W fast charging and Pogo pin accessories. Major pros include its durable design with IP68 water and dust resistance and MIL-STD-810G certification, programmable physical buttons (XCover Key) for functions like push-to-talk, and enhanced touch sensitivity for use with gloves. Potential cons include a less powerful mid-range processor that can be slow compared to flagship phones, a display that might be dim in direct sunlight, no 5G support, and the rear panel not having a locking mechanism, meaning it can pop off if dropped on hard surfaces.
