justasmile, 14 Apr 2025it never had amoled?Seems it didn't have amoled, my bad. According to Amazon page, the non-pro version has AMOLED screen, must be an error in the specs.

    What you see in these kind of devices when you open screen is login page of your company, and company app to do your job.

Ingress protection can only be expected to hold within specific conditions; go beyond that (a little too deep in the water, a little too hot/cold, a little too much pressure...) and it may fail. And it is hard for anyone to prove whether a given water damage happened within spec or not, so in practice manufacturers basically have the choice between covering all water damage or none.

      I understand this, but this is also why I do not like how IP is used for advertising phones to "civilians". The manufacturer brags that a phone was tested for submersion to 3 meters, and people think they can go snorkeling with it - a perfectly reasonable assumption, and you'd have to read the $400 IP standard document to find out that it is not necessarily true.

In two years it will be borderline unusable. No-one is talking of putting 16GB into this, but just 8GB instead of 6GB would likely keep it usable for 4-5 years.

          Also, this phone has DeX, that is, Samsung's "desktop experience" feature. That can be tremendously useful in a corporate setting - but it can also be infuriating when there is too little RAM, e.g. you are working on something in Excel, switch to the browser to check something, switch back and find Excel has reloaded for lack of RAM and your recent changes are gone. As DeX was in the XCover6 Pro and Samsung kept it in the XCover7 Pro, I think it is safe to assume that enterprise wants this feature, yet given the hardware limit I think it will struggle significantly in the near future.

Enterprise won't just order device with 16GB ram and 512GB because "it looks nice" each and every features they request them. If you take Example company like Walmart they order more than 700K units, you think they just randomly order it or they request those specs? 700k is good enough number to request custom specification if they need it.

Limiting the phone to 6GB RAM is not some business feature, it is just penny-pinching. It also reduces the lifetime prospects of the phone, which may be a plus from Samsung's perspective.

Look at how the S-series or A-series have done in the same time, about doubling in speed - in comparison the XCover series is stagnating and has barely moved on from 2022. And there is no working around those 6GB RAM.

                    Internationally, Moto G75 has all of those features + 5 years of updates, while being *less than half* the price !!!
                    (Except for Pogo pins & headphone jack)

                    in the US, Moto G Power (2025) is almost identical to G75 but with a worse chip & a worse update policy of 2 years. (But on the bright side, it gets a headphone jack)

                    People shouldn't buy this phone, it's made for big retailers to buy in bulk & give it for free to their employees.

                          P.S. Judging by the location tag, you must be a fellow Malaysian.

                            Why the phone isn't getting 8/256 trim yet the tablet does is beyond my comprehension. In fact, that should be the only trim for both the phone and the tablet.

These phones were designed to run Company software. So whatever they do whether it's in dex or normal phone usage it will be company software.

                              You know company software which needs more than 6gb ram and Samsung forgot about it feel free to mention it here.

                                  Also knox is leading platform, both software and hardware just disputing it at enterprise level show how clueless you are. Just go to transsion threads and debate on ultra wide camera.

You seem blinded tho, so yeah of course this is a better device, especially due to the non-existant software support that you can expect from Samsung.

                                      1. It has weaker soc overall
                                      2. Msrp is almost same $549
                                      3. It lack usb 3 which is almost must have in enterprise environment where workers use monitors
                                      4. It's heavy asf 500G, that's heavier than most 10" tablets, imagine any worker using 500G phone.
                                      5. It's doesn't have any enterprise security features like those accompanied by knox
                                      6. Questionable software updates
                                      7. Questionable build quality
                                      8. It come pre installed with malware etc

                                      Thats just gimmick phone tailored to average consumer, no serious enterprise would touch that.
