Cost seems to be around 359-369 EUR, according to my local places.

    xcover 7 doesn't deserve full hd display and 6nm. that's too overkill for a budget looking phone.
    helio p22 and 720p is the perfect combination for v notch phones.

      Meybe they arent as popular as samsung but can you imagine if a company preorders several 1000 pieces just because its better value for the price???
      Samsug is all about brand and few more updates. But not everybody needs this.

With the manufacturers you mentioned it's good for small entrepreneurs or freelancers who don't need to MDM a devices fleet or don't need to have extra things like Dex,...

        It's true the hardware is limited, I work with previous gen of these devices but they are really competitive and work really well. The without battery mode is also really appreciated especially if you need to onboard the tablet as a kiosk or auto device.
        The price seems not fair, but the devices are really well thought and deserved definitely their consideration if there is a mass deployment.

          AndroidZeppole, 11 Jan 2024Funny how a microSD card doesn't effect the integrity ... moreapparently everything has no effect on ingress protection when it comes to budget devices, not even a removable backplate and headphone jack has any effect on it, that's the magic of cheap devices, god forbid if any flagship try to implement that lol

            Dont want to be rude but compared to Oukitel WP33 pro or RT7 5G tablet which are cheaper and obviously way better specced this looks like total garbage.
            When comes to rugged phone best thing money can buy is unihertz tank 3 for 560 euros.
            It have far better specs than most phones on the market and insane price.

              Funny how a microSD card doesn't effect the integrity of the waterproof seals when it's on a budget device.

Samsung will have less buds to sell if they didn't limit the headphone jack on budget/niche devices. See how A52s 5G was immediately pulled from the market when the jackless A53 came out. 😂

                        justasmile, 11 Jan 2024They are not rugged phones.But the point is having all those three features together. Just like the Xperia 1 and 5 mark ii-v lineup. Doesn't even need to be a rugged phone.

                          Nice.

                              Anyone who says having all of the above together is impossible is just lying. Why should any high-end phone be MISSING FEATURES compared to a midrange?

                                Just wondering if the 5G version of the Tab Active5 can make calls like other Samsung tablets like the A9 SM-X115?

                                  Only phones worth buying from samsung that have everything you want specially easily removable/replaceable batteries while still being water resistant.

                                    We should be buying this phone if we truly care about the headphone jack, the MicroSD slot, and the removable battery.
