Anon, 25 Jan 2020If only Samsung made a smaller version of this phone.Smaller? I wish it was 6.9" 6.3 is pretty small though with the slightly enlarged frame and a flat screen that will help it feel bigger I guess. It's just so narrow at that lame 20.5:9 resolution(god I hate that!).....

ADVICE REQUIRED
I'm about to replace the BB Android phone abandoned by BB with another mainstream Android one. Samsung with a Knox seems OK.
The problem with Samsung is that most of them have crappy mobile network signal handling.
I live in a rural area with a terrible network coverage. BB phones work OK, modern LG work superb, most of Snapdragon Samsungs have .... no network at all.
Can I buy Xcover Pro, which meets most of my requirements, without worrying about the cellular network reception? Serious answers are welcome!

Gabs, 19 Apr 2020I think you posted your opinion on the wrong phone my frien... moreXcover its good idea that its plastic, it has ip68 and its hard, it have ok cameras and have battery with option to change.
I Was talking about A - series that was ip68 too, and they have ois in 2016 , and now they dont have ip68, they not metal but plastic, they dont have ios and they are much expensive. The phones after 2018 sucks.

"Lack of optical image stabilization" Yes it has
"no ip68" MIL-STD-810G standard eats ip68 protection for breakfast
"no glass and metal but plastic" yo can pretty much shove those in the place the sun doesn't shine, Its a work phone for people who work outdoor/factory/building site. how long do you think metal and glass lasts you reckon in those environments? 3 months tops
Half price of a premium phone that you wont be so sad to see destroyed within 6 months

Lack of optical image stabilization, no ip68, no glass and metal but plastic, no light sensor, no infrared , only bigger screens with more shitty cameras with bad quality. Even they give more dark aperture to the cameras... i dont know what to change from my A5 2017 ... I dont want to pay 3x more for Note or S line phones with shitty battery life, or older with dead android support. I need ip68 I work in rain.

Covering the selfie camera makes the screen go darker, and revealing it increases the brightness again. This takes 1-3 seconds and works all the time, not just when unlocking.
So it sure looks like the camera is involved, but I have no idea about the specifics. Is the camera taking an internal selfie every 3 seconds to study the light conditions? Or is there a normal ambient light sensor functionality integrated into the camera?
