Screen braking is not a joke guys
1. mine broke within the first month I bought it
2. it was the first time it actually fell
3. it fell from my waist pocket while running
4. onto the small gravel surface
I could put up with it's slow speed, the lack of memory, bad signal and regular Android freezing knowing that it was SUPPOSED to be tough and last. But it did not...

Had to change the lcd touch screen two times cause I accidentaly dropped it. I wonder if it wasnt shockproof what would have happened. Internal memory 150mb very very low every little while it asks me to clear some messages or my sim card is full in order to free space, dont bother buy it!!!!

Have been with this phone for niw a year, and the only problems i find with this phone now is the extremly low space. You can never have many apps or even games, the battery doesnt even last for a day, and it keeps on freezing. Thank God is was only a gift! i would regrate having spent my money on such a phone..

Absolutely useless! It fell twice of my lap, and it got 1 body crack and the backcover won't fully close anymore (I wonder if it keeps being water-resistant...). Perhaps it's OK as a start-smartphone for clumsy kids; but thing at least again before considering to buy this model!

Even if crashes ,low internal memory etc....i do not believe that this phone got a screen broken.that one who said that got a copy of the original one ....I throw it several time and it does not get even a scratch...so if u do not like the mobile u don't post comments that are not real .... if u do not know how to use it u won't like it....I have almost 20 apps and I can play without any problem....so if u don't know how to install it or if it doesn't install that mean that your mobile is a copy of the original one...

This phone is ok.I have had it for nearly an year now and there is no scratch in it though i haven't really dropped it or anything.The phone is pretty good for watching youtube,calling people,and you can have a few apps aswell but that's it!this phone's ram is absolute garbage and the internal storage is a joke.this phone can barely run anything and you can't fit most apps with the uppdates into this phone.it's a big issue for me since i can't even have the facebook app or twitter since i don't have space.Rooting this phone won't help at all.only positives i can find about this phone is the fact that it's quite cheap and reliable phone.
but if you have a bit bigger budget,you should't buy and outdated phone like this.

Zappy, 21 Jul 2013Had the phone for almost a year now & I guess it's o.k.... moreThe Xcover is a nice looking phone and it is waterproof as they say. It has some cool features too. However, the internal memory sucks! This was a gift, I would never have bough it for myself because I cannot have 2 good games on it and if I download 1 solid game it freezes like crazy so playing the game is pointless. In terms of internal memory, Samsung FAILED this phone.

Zappy, 21 Jul 2013Had the phone for almost a year now & I guess it's o.k.... moreYeah, it will be yours for ever, a qualified guess, some where in one of your drawer, because it is totally worthless due to the exceptional low memory capacity, where you should be happy if you can have TRE apps or less.
Nice design though, and probably good and cheap marketing. But if you want to do other thing but make calls and send SMS, if you are lucky enough to have a connection. Well this is the phone for you :)!
Ps. Don't even think about playing games ...

Had the phone for almost a year now & I guess it's o.k. The internal memory storage is a joke and it doesn't matter how big your SD memory card is, you will never be able to have a lot of apps.
It has proven itself waterproof but it's starting to just randomly go off and on again.
I don't regret getting it because it's my baby, also because it's probably the longest phone I had without losing or breaking it.
If you need a phone that will stay in your life forever, this is the phone for you.
It's a cool phone, so back off you haters.

Hi everyone.
Samsung Galaxy Xcover 1 is great phone, however it's pain for you when you need many apps installed. The ROM is really low and you can install only few apps. Not all apps can be transfered over to Micro-SD card.
The main problem in this smart phone is also battery life. If you're heave user and use your phone all the time, battery life is 3-6 hours, but in reasonable usage it can be used 24 hours.
The plus is waterproof, I used it in rain and it worked perfectly all the time. The build quality is awesome. Screen is enough for me to see all the content. Internal memory is like nothing and card is 2 GB which is coming with Samsung.
Overally phone is good, but it's slow when memory is at end, so don't download many apps. Samsung's useless apps are not working, they are not even supporting this model, so why in the eart Samsung install those non-working apps from junk to phones? You can't even delete these useless apps.
For example Music Hub open's, but can't install suggested update, tried in mobile and wifi network. Does not download anything. Samsung Market never open no matter how much I try.
Overally good phone, but software is junky. Also in poor 3G/2G areas calls are dropping and low quality, also bars are low when in another Samsung simple phone bars are better and signal is overally much better.
But good phone if you need phone that work in rain etc. But you can find maybe better phones. I don't need better phone because I can live with these problems. I use so little phone to call etc. And I use only few apps.

I bought this phone two months ago. Hate it. Hav had nothing but problems with it. Not enough storage. Cant download any games cause i cant put on sd card. Freezes up all the time. Constantly havin to reboot. Glass screen broke after havin for only a week. Didnt even drop very hard. Fell off the couch. Use to b able to upload pictures to facebook but it wont let me anymore (can anybody tell me how to fix this part?). I really really wish i had read up on the reviews for this phone before i bought it cause i seriously wouldnt hav got it. I will b more selective in the future thats for sure. Samsung should b embarassed for putting this phone on the market. Bad. Bad. Bad.
