    Recently got SM-G715U1. Made the update ASAP, but lost the dual SIM feature when I plugged in 2 nano SIMs + 64Gb microSDXC. Is there a fix to this cause I really need the 2nd SIM to function.

      Shimizu Megumi, 18 Jun 2021In my country this phone is overpriced, 450 euro. The batt... moreI guess it depends on the country. In my place the original Samsung battery is readily available for less than €25. I could easily find it available in some other EU-countries, too, but sometimes costing more (€40 was the highest I found).

      The screen is IPS. There was some early Samsung promo material that mistakenly had it as AMOLED, but the official Samsung specs and reviews have it as TFT/IPS, and that is quite obviously the truth if you hold one in person.

      Speaking of which, have you actually used one? The phone is smooth and responsive, fear of bloatware is misplaced. While not a high-end phone regarding benchmarks, its performance is more than adequate, and it offers a number of features that are almost unique nowadays. Depending on the user priorities it is a bargain, or even almost the only phone worthy of serious consideration.

        In my country this phone is overpriced, 450 euro.
        The battery for it is 50 euro, except that there is a shortage and you cant buy it anywhere, you need to order from abroad using various services.
        Also the screen isnt IPS but Amoled.
        Anyway the removable battery doesnt mean much if you cant even buy it, all sellers asked and they are out of stock cant even order it.
        Maybe you can get one from ebay, but please understand that 450 euro phone is just too expensive for removable battery to worth it, with this specifications, also samsung very resource intensive, and this hardware will feel even less with samsung bloatware

              Anyway, I agree on the lack of warranty against liquid damage, unfortunately an all too common policy. I see Sonim covers it as long as the IP-rating conditions were not exceeded - any idea how this works in practice, who has the burden of proof?

              The XP8 is a phone I considered in the past, but its user reviews are often negative, mostly about glitchy software. It also costs more than Samsung, at least in Europe, and Sonim does not have much of a presence here.

              None of the other brands you mention have the Enterprise Recommended certificate, so their future regarding software updates is uncertain. I have heard good things about Kyocera's durability, but their phones are fairly locked down, non-removable battery, no memory card etc., hard to see as an alternative. CATs are Bullitt Group phones and as such traditionally lousy with software support. Doogee, Ulefone, BV are cheap phones with close to no support network outside China.

                Samsung does not make good rugged phones, all 5 active phones I've owned had problems like not actually being water resistant despite the IP68, and not even close to MIL-STD-810G, short drops on carpet and screen has pink lines, caught in the rain and just turns off and never starts again, My S7 Active was babied from new, never dropped or gotten wet and still had those and other problems. The Xcover Pro is $500. and is just not worth it considering just like the active line, is not warranted for water or drop damage, if it's a rugged phone it should be able to withstand water and light drops. I really like the Xcover Fieldpro but at $1,000 its just not worth the risk if a tiny fall or washing off in sink will damage or kill it. All my 8 Kyocera rugged phones are all actually waterproof and sanitized/washed regularly, been dropped on concrete, down flights of stairs and more, but still work 100% years later, and at a much lower price. My daily driver Sonim XP8 is a step above in ruggedness and is not death proof but pretty close, It has endured much more hard use and looks & works perfect years later, even after being run over by 18 wheeler, dropped in gas, cleaned with brake cleaner after dropped in dirty motor oil, and never one problem, The same just cant be said for Samsung, even the regular S series and other phones will develop screen lines, burn in & softwair problems, everyone I know with a Samsung eventually does. Dont wast your time & money on any Samsung, especially if you need a durable phone, go with Sonim, Kyocera, Cat, Doogee, Ulefone or Blackview. They all make real rugged phones for much less money.

                      4gb's of ram is more than enough for a mobile phone if your phone is lagging it's probably from the battery degrading which unlike 99% of phones you can do something about on this one.

AMOLED is susceptible to burn-in and aging, especially when run at high brightness. IPS LCD like on the XCover Pro is superior for an outdoor phone. Besides, the differences in image quality get overrated on the internet. They are negligible in practice.

                        The storage is expandable. I have 1TB in mine, few phones can match that. Also, I think you underestimate how much fits into 64GB. An enterprise phone like this is unlikely to have huge games or large media collections. 64GB will be hard to fill without this, and in the rare case where it is a problem, you just expand as needed.

                        RAM could be larger, I agree. Then again, I have been using it as my main phone for over a year now and it is not lagging, so I do not worry about it becoming problematic anytime soon.

                        I can understand if it is not a suitable phone for you, but an "absolute failure"? It has what has become a fairly unique combination of features - expandable memory, replaceable battery, ruggedness, headphone jack. To me (and probably many of its owners) that gives the XCover Pro a real-world flexibility and practicality that 99% of phones cannot match. (E.g. Apple has not a single device that can compete with this, no matter how much you pay them.)

                                    But one addition: There is nothing unique or proprietary about the charging port, it is USB-C, like virtually any modern Android phone.
                                    Yes, this can be annoying if your accessories are still stuck with mini-USB or micro-USB, but USB-C is here to stay and the closest thing to one connector that does everything

                                        This one is clearly faulty as you would know if you had cared to read all the positive reviews.
                                        It's a great phone for so many reasons not at least, for environmental reasons.
