The SAR value used for FCC approval does not account for the multitude of measurements taken during the testing. Moreover, cell phones constantly vary their power to operate at the minimum power necessary for communications; operation at maximum power occurs infrequently. Consequently, cell phones cannot be reliably compared for their overall exposure characteristics on the basis of a single SAR value for several reasons (each of these examples is based on a reported SAR value for cell phone A that is higher than that for cell phone B):
Cell phone A might have one measurement that was higher than any single measurement for cell phone B. Cell phone A would, therefore, have a higher reported SAR value than cell phone B, even if cell phone B has higher measurements than A in most other locations and/or usage configurations. In such a case, a user generally would receive more RF energy overall from cell phone B.
Cell phone A might communicate more efficiently than cell phone B, so that it operates at lower power than cell phone B would under comparable conditions. Consequently, a user would receive more RF energy overall from cell phone B.
The highest value from cell phone A might come from a position which the user seldom or never employs to hold a phone, whereas that user might usually hold a phone in the position that resulted in the highest value for cell phone B. Therefore, the user would receive the highest RF exposure that cell phone B delivers but would not receive the highest RF exposure that cell phone A delivers.

Supreme Unorthodox, 29 Nov 2022I was hesitating for couple of days to upgrade to this phon... moreThanks for pointing this out. I was unaware this new version has so much higher SAR than the old Xcover. Because of this and I can't find anywhere confirmed specs of which 5G bands are enabled in the US version, I think I will skip this phone and buy something else instead.

I was hesitating for couple of days to upgrade to this phone from A52s. It is overall a very good phone: water proof, has a decent hardware, replacable battery and better bluetooth and wifi antenna than A52s. But the SAR value of this phone is a deal braking point for me. It is just barely under the limit especially for head, but for body it is still much higher than A52s' SAR value (1.27 vs. 0.88). Of course I know these values are the maximum what the phone can emit, but these are quite high and means that in everyday usage the phone likely to emit more intense radiation than A52s.

I contacted the Business Solutions department of Samsung USA two weeks ago as the Procurement Mgr of a medium sized company and asked them to provide specifications indicating the network frequency bands included in the U.S. version of the Galaxy Xcover6 Pro. Other than an automated email promising that a sales specialist would contact me soon, no one ever actually got back to me after all this time. I guess Samsung thinks they are so special that people and companies will purchase their products even when ignored by their sales and support staff. They are wrong. Myself and others in my organization were genuinely interested in this phone but now, we have not only lost interest in the phone itself, we've also lost interest in Samsung overall.

I'm looking forward to the Galaxy XCover6 Pro being launched in Brazil.
The problem is that Brazil is always excluded from getting Galaxy XCover series smartphones, except Galaxy XCover Pro.
In this way, I believe that the SM-G736 would be launched in Brazil as Galaxy XCover Pro 2.

I thought GSMARENA would find out and at least update to the US bands on this website. All I think I know is there just showing the international bands. But I might be wrong.

Anonymous, 06 Nov 2022I think the bands can be looked up by phone model based on ... moreThe problem is that just because a prototype phone submitted to the FCC received approval for a band does not guarantee it's actually available in the shipping model. I've experienced this with a past phone. That's why several us are still trying to confirm which 5G bands are actually enabled in the now shipping U.S. version. And, weirdly, the Samsung website doesn't provide this info. I'm baffled how they don't realize enterprise customers need to know what bands are included as part of their procurement process. So, still hoping someone can please confirm which 5G bands are on their U.S. Xcover6 Pro. TIA

So if you are in custom roms/rooting, I suggest not getting a Samsung phone.

The upgrade to Android 13/One UI 5 became available this morning (at least in Sweden). I have not run it yet, something to do after work.

Does *#0011# work to get into service mode and it maybe shows 5G bands under something like NR_Band?

European and Asian models usually have different bands. Just check what's in their FCC report for the US model.

I still have not heard from GSMARENA on this model for U S A bands, seems like they would update it on their site for the US bands.
