Muttley, 06 Mar 2021Well for a start there will be bloatware included. These &... moreMany decades ago it was true you wouldn't need 64kb of storage but even these days 64 gigs of storage is more than enough. Updates won't just take 20 gigs of storage after a year? The only updates that are even big enough to take a bit of space are Android version upgrade from 11 to 12 and since this is a new phone it'll receive updates for 3 years so from 11 to 12 and 12 to 13 by then you would've only lost around 3-6 gigs of storage and not 20. Please look up the facts before you complain.

I so hate samsung.
1-They made s active series, only for US market last phone was s8 active which was best of the best.
2- They never make flagship rugged and If they make it will be garbage phone like this 5 years old design and aspects.
3- Got my s21 ultra exynos, total scam returned, why total scam,
Because of no charger my 40w charger take 02:20 hpura to charge the phone, cant play pubg woth 60fps can ypu imagine and other games big frame drop not like snapdragon.
Samsumg fooling people, my mate 20 pro 2 years pld is way better than samsung, i think if huawei has google it will be no. 1 easily.

Zakalwe, 06 Mar 2021Why would it run out of storage? It is an enterprise phone.... moreWell for a start there will be bloatware included.
These "apps" keep getting bigger everyday taking up memory.
It is a good way to sell a new cell phone.
Electronic waste is the issue.
64GB of internal will be probably 40GB of useable then the updates start.
After a year probably 20GB of useable and you might like to add some other apps so memory is looking short by then.
I know a guy who said no body will need more that 64KB of memory and how wrong was he.

like Umidigi bi... moreUmidigi has wonky website full of typos and bad English. Their B2B contact for NA & Europe is "Misty", while "Fancy" is the contact for Latin America, and "Jane" is responsible for the "Middel East" (sic). All the phone numbers are from China, no international offices. Their picture of a "Umidigi Store" is actually from a Samsung store with some poorly photoshopped logo replacements: https://www.umidigi.com/new/Images/umidigi_store.jpg
This is a cheap shady junk company with an uncertain future. No serious business or agency will order some thousand phones from their Alibaba store when you can have a local Samsung representative come by and work out an X-year full support contract.

Muttley, 05 Mar 2021They can not be serious making this phone. Maybe some buil... moreWhy would it run out of storage? It is an enterprise phone. It will have one or two apps installed that are needed for the job - maybe the barcode scanner and the company VPN connector or whatever. If for some reason the job requires accumulating loads of data in the device, there is the option of installing a microSD card. 64GB internally is plenty enough for the next 4-5 years, and then the warranty and the tax deductible period are over and the service contractor replaces your company fleet of 1,000 XCover 5 with 1,000 XCover 8.

Any phone with a good book case will be durable enough and you can buy a waterproof case too there are plenty if you know where to look.
Any 100-120 eur device will have better specs if i spend lets say another 10 bucks for a case i will get equally same or better rugged device for 30-40% of cost of this phone.
Industrial there is nothing like that because with a good case any phone would do and will be very durable. Paying 300 bucks for IP resistance and a bit of rubber is just a waste of money as always.

Eeeee, 05 Mar 2021Sorry but your not getting the point of this phone its a ru... moreMan Sorry but you dont get the point so please a little education from me for free as gratitude. No need to thank me for englightening you.
Man removable battery dont have a 300 bucks value same for IP rating.
Whole Xcover 5 without IP rating and so called removable cover wouldnt cost more than 80 maybe 100 bucks.
Samsing is famous for overpricing everything such as Sony, LG or Apple do.
Only problem is only blind wouldnt see the phone is not worth the money.
For another example Redmi Note 10 for 170 or 200 bucks with a water resistant case for 5-10 bucks from sites such as alliexpress will preform the same like Xcover and we get much better faster and far more reliable device with IP rating. Also a lot more cheaper compared to Xcover.

ASUSBOY9823, 05 Mar 2021Its really trash but i think 300 bucks for ip ratingMan any cover can do your IP rating for 5 bucks or so.
By the way any sea water will make your phone instantly dead regardless of IP rating.
And final thing as long as no water damage warranty is included in price, IP rating is nothing just an overpriced gimmck.

They can not be serious making this phone.
Maybe some builders or mountaineers who go climing near a cell tower are their only customers.
If you want a tough phone just put a normal phone in a case.
If you want a small phone that is tough just put a small phone in a case.
If you want a small expensive old technology phone with limited memory buy this.
It will soon run out of internal memory and then you have to buy a new one.

I'm in love with it's small size. It's the best compact phone launched in the last two years. I'm looking forward for it to become available to normal users.
