You have to consider that this phone is better than the Pixel phones because the Xcover 5 Enterprise Edition will receive five years of monthly and then quarterly system/security updates.

This phone looks like the little brother of the Xcover Pro. The rounded edges look very similar and both have a big orange button on the left side.

Tselligas, 16 Mar 2021I can live with the weak processor and the thick bezels, bu... more311 ppi is more than that someone with perfect vision and less than ~45 years old (no presbyopia) can exploit. 720p is enough for even 7". 1080p would spend CPU and battery power without reason.

It's a nice enough phone, but also seems a little pointless and corners have been cut.
First of all: I have an Enterprise Edition (sold in DK), which may vary from the phone above (at least in the casing - the rest seems similar) - most notable, however, there's no finger print reader on the EE.
Anyway: I have a Xcover 4 which is brilliant, and on many parameters the Xcover 5 doesn't seem that much of an upgrade: The 4 runs Android 9, which is fine, and I've never experienced 'hunger' in terms of the resources running out. It's brilliant.
The Xcover 5 is better on a few points:
- Faster charging
- Newer software (which is not necessarily needed, but I expect updates will be supported for longer time)
The Xcover 5 disappoints on the following parameters:
- Biometrics is a price cutting face recognition, which is quite slow. Had prefered a fingerprint reader!
- The Camera is not that much better. Had Samsung taken the camera from, say, Galaxy S7/8 and stuck that on, this would have been a winner!
- The casing / feel. It's slippery. And I miss physical buttons (which, I concede, are vulnerable).
- The IPS screen seems somewhat dusty in it's colors. This just takes some getting used to, it grows on you.
All in all it's a nice enough phone. It doesn't however feel like any kind of leap forwards: Most users will be as happy with the Xcover 4 (or even the S-version if you want better specs).
And, it *WILL* provide the two major selling points: A good dust resistance, and a removable battery. All phones should have these features (though there's a risk the compromise each other).

Get a load of this guy above:
News flash: You can CHANGE it OUT. Check the specs.

Buster, 14 Mar 2021Did Samsung officially mention a fingerprint reader? To me ... moreNo fingerprint reader :( I was really waiting for this one hoping it'd have it. But sadly no.
I know some people use these with gloves, but not *all* of them. A FP scanner would still be very worthwhile IMO.

Several months ago I bought Samsung Xcover 4S. I may say autonomy is very bad. Xcover 4S battery lasts very bad.

The description is not very accurate. The device is already in sale in CR and it does NOT have fingerprint reader.
