An odd thing about this phone is that the buttons will always register keypresses, even when the screen is off and locked. This differs from e.g. the XCover6 Pro or the older XCover Pro, where you have to unlock the phone for the side and top buttons to become responsive. The FieldPro's way is useful for example when you have configured one button to turn on/off the flashlight: With the FieldPro you can quickly turn on the flashlight without having to activate the screen, but on the flip side it is prone to turning on the light accidentally. With the other phones it is the other way round, no accidental activations, but sometimes tedious to make the buttons work.

I have not found any way to make the FieldPro buttons work like the XCover6 Pro, nor vice versa.

    its got a really high resolution screen, which is a little odd
    the cpu (and ram/storage) are literally the same as the galaxy s9, which makes this basically a galaxy s9 active of sorts

            Alex.4, 26 Aug 2023Hi everyone. Any idea how to configure the Push-to-talk key... moreThe way the phone comes there is no way to use keys for anything else. I use an app called Key Mapper, it lets you to program all buttons on phone including volume - power and any other buttons to do anything, single press, double press & long press, so I use the PTT buttons for six different actions. I have many rugged phones and use it on all them, is especially nice on a phone like this when Samsung won't let you adjust how your $1100. phone works. Anyway just get the app, it's free and works great.

              Hi everyone. Any idea how to configure the Push-to-talk keys? I want the one on the top to activate the lamp, for example. There is nothing about this in the manual and I could find nothing by myself in the device itself. Thanks beforehand.

It also did not seem to have any catchy name yet; I have seen some Samsung brochure refer to it as the PS-LTE device, but mostly it is just the SM-G888N0.

                            SM-G889G (Singapore) appears to have received Android 11 as it has a manual for that version of Android.
                            And there was also the SM-G888N0, the previous launch of the Galaxy XCover FieldPro exclusive to South Korea, which remained on Android 6.

That phone with no case went into fires, took video while underwater at 10 meters during rescue dive training and when either a Samsung or android update finally bricked it and made it to slow to possibly consider using I gave it to my two toddlers as Netflix wifi machines and they still work perfectly (if now mysteriously slowly even after a factory reset). If they would make that exact phone with 2022 computing technology (not retardedly huge like all new phones seem to be) I would happily pay twice the price of the field pro

                                      Anonymous, 01 Jul 2022Dont buy phone with crappynos in it!Samsung is generally decent when it comes to updates. Other XCover-phones get them every month. That does not excuse Samsung's failure at updating the FieldPro, but it is a risk I was aware of when getting such a niche phone. I was more disappointed when my 1st gen iPhone SE ran into iOS fragmentation after just two years, with several apps not being compatible - a failure mostly to blame on the 3rd party devs, but I had kinda hoped Apple would enforce some discipline in that regard. Now I think the iPhone Mini can expect similar issues soon.
