Anonymous, 02 Nov 2022Fyi, I'm in the US and I placed my order with Samsung ... moreIf you have a way to do so (maybe there's an app) can you confirm which 5G bands it supports? I'd like to know if what GSMArena shows in the specs is accurate since I'm surprised a newly released phone doesn't seem to include more of the 5G bands for U.S. carriers. TIA

Still no updated reviews for US.
I'm on AT&T also. The specs show not many AT&T bands. I like to know how good it is outside city and signal strength. If this is a professional grade phone it's supposed to have better signal than a regular phone.

Fyi, I'm in the US and I placed my order with Samsung last Friday and the phone was shipped out that day and received yesterday. So far I'm liking it. My previous phone was an S10e and I'm dealing with the extra size of this phone, because I wanted a memory card, headphone jack, and the ability to replace the battery on my own. No issues so far. I like the fact that the memory card and Sim card are placed in the middle of the phone near the battery, so it seems more secure. I'm on AT&T and not noticing any coverage issues so far compared to the S10e...

My Galaxy S8 Activ has disappointed more and more over the past year and is now near it's end of life. I've been the last 'Droid holdout in my family but have waited too long for the XCover6 Pro as a replacement. Samsung has had it's chance, and has disappointed ever since I bought what was their "flagship" Galaxy Note Pro 10.2" tablet years ago and never updated it beyond Android 5.1. I don't understand why so many others are willing to suffer repeated disappointment.
iPhone is in my near future.

When you go to phones on Samsung business page the first thing you see is Samsung Xcover 6 pro.
BUT, if you try and chat no one knows anything about the phone..
And even if you send an email about this phone, they will not answer you.

Did anybody successfully rooted Xcover6 Pro? I am considering the purchase, but it is nearly useless for me without root (even if I am a businessman 😝)
(Here in Italy it is available since some time, even on Amazon)

Not being sarcastic but genuinely curious... for a newly released phone, why is it missing so many US 5G bands? Keep my phones a long time so want it to have good future-proofing but it seems like this one might not be due to lacking several of the 5G bands used by US carriers.

Anonymous, 13 Oct 2022Thanks for the reply! Is there a phone you would recommend ... moreThere are some other reputable not so well exposed or dont really advertise that still sell phones mainly budget ones that still have removeable batteries.
The latest one I knew of is from Cubot Model P50. Doogee, Oukitel probably has one too.
If you are fine with it ofcourse not being a Samsung.

Is there a phone you would recommend that is smaller than the Xcover6 but has a removeable battery? I keep phones for a LONG time so a user-replaceable battery is important. Unfortunately, smartphones with them seem to be very rare. Would also like 5G bands for futureproofing. For use in USA. Ruggedized is nice but not essential. TIA

Anonymous, 13 Oct 2022Thanks for bringing the FieldPro to our attention. It also ... moreIt has a smaller screen, but the phone itself is pretty massive, overall bigger (volume) and heavier than the XCover6 Pro. I kinda like it, but objectively I cannot recommend it with a clear conscience. It is an odd phone in a kinda cool way, so go for it if that is what you like, but from a practical perspective the XCover6 Pro is better in almost every way.
I have not heard of a direct successor to the FieldPro, but who knows. The FieldPro itself is the successor to the nameless SM-G888 that was made for South Korean railway operators, so maybe those will order another upgrade one day. But it is a niche phone with very little support by Samsung: it finally got a security update this summer, after a year of nothing - compare that to the monthly updates for the other XCovers! Seems to be very low priority, which is a bit of a shame, as the hardware is good quality.
