            Personally I dont care for removable battery, just replacable without heatgun and a ton of glue is enough for me, but if 8 pro has a headphone jack and OLED screen im sold.

              We want s25u active, globally, instead of these low end models! Samsung, bring back the active model and release it globally!

                My question is why are they NOT using the newer Silicon batteries in this thing? They could keep the battery dimensions the same but the capacity should go up considerably!

                  DarlingYext, 10 Dec 2024Tiny battery for any phone, let alone one that's rugged.just get 2 or more extra battery & replace it with a fully charged one when needed.

                    LGs, 10 Dec 2024Small battery.Xcover6 Pro has a removable battery along with ip68 or water resistance (no waterproofing BS exists in the world).
                    Would be further negative if it implemented no battery mode as mentioned by another commenter. That feature existed on Galaxy Tab 4 Active.

                      Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference between the nominal and the so called "typical" capacity of the battery?

                        Hoping for 8GB RAM this time!

                          DarlingYext, 10 Dec 2024Tiny battery for any phone, let alone one that's rugged.But Samsung gives the ability to use the phone without battery power in "No battery mode". I don't think I ever seen such a thing on any other rugged phones.

                            Hopefully, this is the direct successor to the XCover6 Pro which has a Snapdragon 7 series SoC and USB3 with wired video output and DeX support. Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and 8GB RAM should be fine, though 12GB RAM option would be welcome considering the target market for XCover phones.

                              DarlingYext, 10 Dec 2024Tiny battery for any phone, let alone one that's rugged.But it’s removable. If anyone wants removable battery they should stop complaining about the size when someone releases one with a removable battery

                                Tiny battery for any phone, let alone one that's rugged.

                                  Hopefully they add OIS this time to this device. For the price, it's expensive, but considering its a niche device for its features, its the perfect device for my Dad

                                    But that is the fate of a replaceable battery, they need more space than a build in one.

                                    And that is fine by me, a while ago I had to replace a battery of a LG G8 and they probably used all the glue in the world to glue that thing in, I nearly bend the battery after that thing was swimming in isopropyl alcohol.
