The USB cover is missing. It look like it might have a waterproof USB plug. IMO the greatest weakness of its predecessor was the USB cover which fell off after a year or so.
I'm also skeptical about how good is battery cover held in place.
I know it's a trend to make as thin phone as possible (so it can bend >:) but I'm certain that most rugged phone users would gladly take 2mm thicker phone with bigger battery.

Garbage, 13 Mar 2015I hope it wont be more than 250 $..The price will be aroud 300$/280Euro from what i have seen. The only disadvantage I see currently is the Screen resolution. I have looked at Core 2 that has the same TFT screen. It is truly foggy. If the screen would have been qHD, it would have been a dream smartphone for rugged phone users.
Actually the Xcover has a PLS TFT screen, that still may show some improvements, but we will see soon

AnonD-374473, 13 Mar 2015The Xcover 3 is a response to the complaints of Xcover2 use... moreUPDATE
If I got everything right, i might have deduced more info and a possible review on the Xcover3.
As Xcover2 was a reinforced and maybe slightly tweaked S3mini, I think the Xcover3 is based on the Galaxy Core Prime LTE. It has with the same specs and hardware locations. Same screen and camera location, flash and speaker location, etc.
Checkout the comparison: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6716&idPhone2=6990
I say that Xcover3 is Galaxy Core Prime LTe with a bit more RAM, 10% more battery, hard shell and hopefully upgraded speaker and GPS.

The Xcover 3 is a response to the complaints of Xcover2 users.
This series of Galaxy has the gihest build quality and best longterm use. I wouldn't have changed my xcover 2 if these specifications were available.
The low resolution screen and new battery will provide even longer battery life than Xcover 2. Lack of memory space and Free Ram is solved with the 8GB and 1,5gb ram.
The rest of the newer specs are just un update to newer mobiles (4,5 inch, quad core, LTE)
If all other hardware parts are as good as they were for Xcover 2 (GPS-which was great, signal, rigidity, build quality,camera quality), this will be a dream smartphone for Xcover fans.
I will surelly buy this phone!

Marvell PXA Armada 1908 with Vivante GC7000UL or Snapdragon 400 / 410 with Adreno 305 / 306?
IPS?
The onboard storage is enough, the system will smooth after several apps installed too. Much better, than the predecessors, but the 207ppi isn't a good choice in 2015.

AnonD-314089, 11 Mar 2015Weak.The great feature is the water proof.This phone designed to be used in heavy conditions, not people like you who is whole day on facebook or killing hours with whatsapp.
Look for other specs, you'll see the light.
