Samsung unveils Galaxy Xcover FieldPro for government agents and first responders

29 October 2019
For once "pro" means "pro". This is a rugged phone aimed at professionals with support FirstNet and push-to-talk.

Government agents using Android. Doesn't really sound like a good combo to me.

      joe nodden, 29 Oct 2019Wow yes Samsung, the largest smartphone seller in the world... moreI understand what you're trying to say, but I wouldn't claiming South Korea doesn't have a corrupt government. Samsung is the corrupt government there.

        Sami all your high end phones must be MILT STD 810 G.
        Why do only older specks get them.
        Must be offered as a standard with all new launches.

Of course the IPhone is not covered for water damage, but the Galaxy Xcover is meant to be put through harsh conditions unlike the IPhone, so you do it and doesn't live up to the premise of being a resistant phone, then what's the purpose of it?. Samsung has to warrant that this device can be exposed to water and drops and still survive.

                    These kind of phones are only waterproof out of the box not after use.

Also, only w... moreThis is not a commercial device, its a phone that's going to be sold to government agents through some kind of deal, so warranty clauses most likely will not be the same. On top of that this phone is EXPECTED to be put through harsh conditions so if you do and the phone is damaged it would go against the main selling point of it.

                        Also, only water resistance. I'm sure both these companies do not honor warranties on water damage for both of these so called water resistant devices.

                          I'm buying myself one

                            Why this phone can endure only 1.5m underwater when the new IPhones can endure 4m? This is one area this phone should excel at considering its specifically designed for it.

                              Looks fantastic for us practical types. If only they made a 4.7" screen as well. Yes, a 4" screen is too small, but for many a 4.7" screen is just right.

Makes total sense with no flaws whatsoever. Get some common sense, your lack of it is pathetic.

                                  Damn Samsung, this should have been Xcover 5, and the worst part of it, is that it will probably be a really rare device.

                                    120 h estimated endurance rating and superhigh pixel density, this phone would be really useful

                                      So this is the rumored "S9 active"? Is cool, but too bad no one can buy it.
